whatdrought Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I just hope he doesn't go to the Jets at 3 so we don't have to hear the Allen v. Allen dialogue twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I think he might go at #1 on his own merits. I also wonder if Bosa slips a spot or two because of his brother’s holdout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Zero chance he's around at 9, but I'd take him in a heartbeat if he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I hope we trade down. If he is still available there is probably a team willing to spend a lot. We just have too many holes, in my opinion, to stay at 9. If we can't find a trade partner, though, I am fine with taking a defender if he is a special talent, especially a linebacker because I view that as a position of need. I think top needs are: 1) Oline (C, OG, and OT) 2) WR 3) LB 4) CB 5) DE McDermott is good at getting scrubs to play well on defense, but we certainly need more talent on that side of the ball as well.

brianthomas Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Allen will most likely be gone by our pick. However Devin White from LSU could be there. Dude plays fast & has a high motor. Believe he won the Butkus award this year as the best linebacker in the nation. He could be a good fit for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trio of Milano, Edmunds, and Allen would solidify the Bills LB core as one of the best in the league for years. However, I don't see Allen lasting to 9. He's a top 5 guy, and with all the needs on the offensive side of the ball, I don't anticipate Beane trading up that far and giving up that much capital to get him. Rather sit at 9 or trade down and get an OL or WR. I would agree with everything here except that Beane has repeatedly stated he doesn't draft by need, and prefers BPA. We'll see how that all goes this year, but I have to say I can't disagree with that philosophy here, as especially in this year's draft, it will be so easy to overdraft for a position of need at a pick where the value just isn't there. In the first, it's almost always better to go BPA and get that player that is a game changer. That being said, I would be perfectly happy with Jonah Williams in the first - I love me some OL picks. But drafting a WR in the top ten would be ridiculous this year - and I'd much rather we fill out our defense with BPA if that's how the cards fall. If Allen is there at 9? I'd go for him over Jonah in all honesty, but would certainly go BPA with that pick or trade back. Trade back is interesting this year given breadth of defensive talent.

HomeskillitMoorman Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 If we're serious about competing next year, we definitely need to add a top shelf pass rusher. This dude looks like a beast tho, doesn't look like he'll make it to 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjv001 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 If Allen is there when we pick, our rep at the draft will probably sprint to the podium with the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it all really depends on what happens before the draft and how deep the OL and WR positions are in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It's super early, but I think Bosa-Allen-White could actually go top three. If Bosa and Allenare off the board, I could totally see the Jets grabbing White. That guy is the real deal. If the Giants and Jags go quarterback, we are going to get a good defensive player. Bosa White Allen Q. Williams Oliver D. Brown R. Gary J. Simmons C. Ferrell M. Sweat J. Polite Greedy Williams That's twelve defensive players I would totally take at 9 with zero hesitation over any "need" like tackle or receiver. My point is that someone is going to reach on Jonah Williams, and the hope is that two quarterbacks go. We are going to get a good player at 9.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Maybe, just maybe, we can trade up to #4 with the top LB still on the board... then take a WR from the college our HC's son goes to in a deep WR draft.

They took so much crap in media here passing on Darnold and such. They are Buffalo Bills EJ Manuel year...they are kind of forced. I think Jacksonville will go for a vet, I was thinking Teddy Bridgewater, but their cap is not in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 If a Blue chip defender is available you take him. Chicago last year with Roquan Smith is a perfect example. If all that's left is one of the Clemson guys I would look offense or trade down. I wont be surprised if a Wr or 2 move up the draft the closer it comes. Wr is a harder position to scout so imo draftnicks rate them lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
