LabattBlue Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Holy crap. Watched him last night. He is a MONSTER. Pencil him in as an All-Pro for the next decade. I guess taking a OG at #6 isn’t such a bad idea. Edited December 31, 2018 by LabattBlue 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMDman Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I had him rated as the second best player in the draft, if not fr the QBs he would have got picked alot higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like some of our draft options this year, but not sure picking at the top 10, many are throwing Jonah Williams out there but there are some quality OT, OG, and 3 centers I like that are round 2-3 options depending what the Bills do in FA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Not only did Indy get the player they wanted, but they got 3 extra 2nd rounders from the Jets. They got picks 37 & 49 in 2018 & the Jets #2 this year which will be in the mid 30s of the entire draft to move down 3 slots. Anyone criticizing the Bills for trading up to pick 7 (and getting pick 255 which didn't work out) by moving from 21 giving up Cordy Glenn to get to 12 & then trading picks 12, 53 and 56 should realize that the Bills made a pretty good deal. Looking at the trade up from 12, the Bills moved 5 spots & gave up 2 lower 2nd round picks. The Jets gave up a lot more for Darnold than the Bills gave up for Allen & at this point the 2 are pretty equal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, some great options in round 2-3. Whoever we get, at whatever position, needs to be a disruptor that other teams need to plan around. Allen is turning into that. You pick top 15, that's what you need. I think by the time we pick, the "disruptors" remaining will be either CB, WR, DL. I see us addressing the OL in FA, IMO. Too important to hope for a rookie to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not even sure any of the WRs grade out that high this year, there are a few TE's that do though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like anyone is even close to his level in this years draft. It is suppose to be deep at OT though. I’m leaning to WR in round 1 and OT in round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 They got Braden Smith in the 2nd as well. One of my favorite players in the Draft last year. Happy for the Colts. I really like Reich and Ballard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemfield2622 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The Colts did an outstanding job in upgrading their OL to protect Luck. But Reich was just as big an upgrade. They showed a stat last night that Luck went from dead last to top 8 in terms of getting the ball out quickly. 33% of his attempts are out in less than 2 seconds. Nobody is touching you when it comes out that fast. Unfortunately for the Bills, I don't believe Allen has the accuracy to get rid of the ball that quickly, consistently. He is going to need a wall built around him if they are going to run a deep drop back pass offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Taking a Guard in the top ten is fine... IF there’s an Alan Faneca type in the draft. Most years there isn’t , and Nelson was hardly a secret. The middle of the Bills OL is very soft, but an OG isn’t in the cards at 9. OT Williams would fill a spot that’s been subpar for years.

H2o Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 As a ND fan I knew that Nelson was destined to be an All Pro in the NFL. The guy mauled people for 3 years. I bet he averaged 3 or 4 pancake blocks a game and always held up in pass pro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Nobody would have batted an eye if he went #1 overall in a draft like this one coming up. When he pulls it's hilarious to watch because usually he's on a LB or safety and they go flying. Has made a huge difference for Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 He was viewed as a generational guard prospect projected to be a Zack Martin type player right out of the gate and Nelson came in and looked the part his rookie year. Given how important each position along the O-line is now and how hard it is to find guards now (It used to be the best guards and centers drafted in the first two rounds were low risk picks not so much anymore) its no longer stupid to draft guards or centers high up. They are premium positions that aren't easily replaceable. Overall I like to see a much hyped rookie guard come in and look the part, the last time guards went high in round one (Cooper and Warmack) they busted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
