Bill Murray Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Seems very fair to me. Funny how PFF recently ranked Levi Wallace as the highest ranked rookie CB, way ahead of Denzel Ward who is at #10. This list seems to be a lot of name recognition factor here, rd 1 picks esp, they aren't to interested in guys taken after rd 2 most less a UDFA. I’m as pumped for Levi Wallace and his future as anyone on here, but you’re not being fair. PFF grade ppl on % positive plays without taking into account the volume of plays or who they were playing. Ward was their CB#1 playing almost every down against the other teams top WRs. Levi worked into the game in situational circumstances. Most the time it was an almost certain passing down, and was rarely against a genuine #1 WR bc Tre almost always covered the true #1s. He didn’t even play the first 9 games of the year. So, Levi is promising for sure, but did not have a better year than Ward, who won AFC ROTW for 2 of the first 5 weeks of the season, and played as their #1 CB all year.

Bing Bong Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 That draft looks like it produced a ton of defensive stats. Edmunds Is in good company at that spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlgarsh Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'm surprised Foster didn't even get a mention based on his performance from week 10 on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Nick Chubb ahead of Darnold and Allen (even Jackson). What a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight, with the 7 draft slots he “earned” us, it was the most beneficial play clay has made for this franchise in his 4 years as a bill.

ProcessAccepted Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Who cares!!!! is just like the power rankings, some tool trying to generate clicks. My play is to watch next season and watch #14 & #15 dominate with more talent around them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i could would i trade Denzel for Wallace, yes right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Quickly eyeballing it, Colts have two in the top 10 and 3 in top 25. That and getting Luck back explains the turnaround. Browns have three in the top 10, including a QB. I didn't see anyone other than the Bills and Bears with two in the top 20. So on that list, the Bills are big winners compared to most the league. And if they were big winners, it means they have their two most important positions filled for next ten years. That's HUGE. Think about that - McBeane don't have to worry about a QB or an MLB for ten years. Belichick had it at QB, but no place on his defense. Bills need good coaching and good role players. Imagine a future where the Browns and Bills fight for AFC supremacy year after year. Like the Pats and the Colts, or the Pats and the Steelers. It's not so far-fetched.

Also, you never hear about him running non stop and not throwing. Black qb stigma to white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, given the age of Edmunds, and the state of the league, these guys could easily be around more like 12-15+ years. Long way to go, so I won’t get too giddy, but I loved the progress they showed over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's a plug and play position. You can't compare it to being rookie QB. I t would make no sense to even attempt to. The guy was the 3rd best rookie this year---behind UDFA rookie Lindsay. After the bye, he had 2 games over 100 yards....and had 3 games where he rushed for 3.0, 3.4 and 2.7 yards. Those are not "beast" numbers... Josh Allen was a better rusher than Chubb in the last 6 weeks of the season... Again, he doesn't belong ahead of Allen (at least). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd1 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 13 hours ago, Rc2catch said: I would agree with some of the list. The Lamar hype is hilarious to me. Ravens are running a legit high school offense and it’s working for a few games and the hype train chugs along. Id like to see what he does say losing by 14 if he can actually run an offense throwing the ball to get them back in the game. Not hating on the guy but they’re basically just running the wildcat with some interesting pulling formations from the lineman and teams are having trouble adjusting, don’t think that’s gonna work well in the playoffs. Some of the list is just name hype and draft positions. Some are legit stars in the making Lamar Jackson seems to be a larger Tyrod Taylor clone. He'll win you some games; he won't win you THE game.
