YoloinOhio 15,067 Posted January 17 (edited) Quote Here is what Kiper said about Gary: “Could the Bills get their Kyle Williams replacement here? At his peak, the 6-foot-6, 283-pound Gary is a menace who makes offensive linemen look foolish, but you’d like to see him do it with more regularity. Gary could play end or nose guard in a 3-4 defense or tackle in a 4-3. Buffalo could look at centers or guards here; improving the interior of the offensive line should be a priority.” Update - link to 2.0 Edited February 18 by YoloinOhio 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Frog 518 Posted January 17 I personally suggested to Brandon Beane that on draft day, he should do what he thinks is best for the team. I can't divulge anymore details. 1 5 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1ZAYDAY1 423 Posted January 17 Very likely this could happen. DL rotation. This kid can play anywhere along to dline. 6’5” 280 lbs, great athletic ability. Just an underachiever. Most blame is on Michigan style defense and not knowing what to do with the kid. McD is known to tap full potential. If he could get the bulb to go off, maybe this kid be special.

BuffaloHokie13 1,757 Posted January 17 This pick makes sense to me.I don't think he's locked in at DT. He could play anywhere on the line for McD and I think that versatility is something our FO values. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buff76ers 16 Posted January 17 Top 5 D and bottom on Offense but Kiper thinks D is where we should spend our 1st pick. Dude sucks. 7 3 1 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bigger issue this year was the injury. He’s not as polished as one would like but has all the raw talent. 3 minutes ago, Buff76ers said: Top 5 D and bottom on Offense but Kiper thinks D is where we should spend our 1st pick. Dude sucks.

I would say it's more than likely that we go defense. More defensive talent in the top 10 and we will be drafting BPA and not for need. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He knows we drafted Harrison Phillips last year and are trying to resign Jordan Phillips. We must go O in the first. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Tuesday 2,039 Posted January 17 I don't mind picking a d-lineman at 9, but this guy underachieved. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Gilmore 1,184 Posted January 17 Can he be moved to edge rusher? A sub 300 lb DT...seems kind of small. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShadyBillsFan 4,472 Posted January 17 Unless the draft is deep in stud O Linemen then I;d be OK with "other" If not OLine has to be a priority Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillsVet 471 Posted January 17 If they're going defense and it's waaaay too early, but I'd like to see a pass rusher if they remain at 9. Hughes is 30, Shaq is not a pass rusher, and so far Murphy has been too banged up. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Hammersticks 2,238 Posted January 17 I’ve seen him going to the Bills at 9 in a few mock drafts now. Seems kind of small for a 3 tech, but I’m guessing he could add 15-20 pounds. I don’t love it, but I don’t know enough about Gary to hate this. Any Michigan fans out there have an opinion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ExWNYer 504 Posted January 17 I understand that mock drafts, while fun, are largely an exercise in futility but...of all the pundits out there, has Mel Kiper ever picked the Bills 1st Rounder correctly? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeastMode54 37 Posted January 17 As a Michigan fan I'd love to see him on the Bills. That being said, he's a bit risky because of injury and not being utilized properly. He's a freak of an athlete though. So if there was anyone to hope for a high ceiling for it would be him. Just think I'd want more of a sure thing 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
