CEN-CAL17 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 2 hours ago, The Jokeman said: I like the idea of trading down but I'd nab an OT/OG instead of Hockenson. As I'm not sure that a rookie TE can make as much as an impact as a rookie lineman. I'm also one that like to see us try and land TE C.J. Uzomah as an UFA. I see the Bills filling the need for OL in FA. There’s a ton of solid talent in FA on the OL. I’m not saying don’t grab OL in the draft. But TJ Hockenson is a once decade type player. He’s Jason Witten the size of Gronk. I see the Bills grabbing 3x OL in FA and 1 in the draft. I’d focus on BPA in the draft. I’m not sold on any OT in the top 20. Jonah Williams is said to most likely be interior OG in the NFL, Dillard is a great pass blocker but is sub par run blocker out of the PAC12, Jawaan Taylor is a RT who looks solid at times back looks terrible at times and again a RT. Risner is intriguing to me. Almost 6’5 310 lbs, 34.5 inch arms and said to be able to play any position except LT. I see them plugging him in at C and excelling. They say he’s smart and processes defenses quickly. FA will tell the story. But I think going OL heavy in FA, knowing you’re investing in men who have played well in the league to protect your franchise QB is where you should spend your money. Grab Josh some weapons in the draft. Hockenson, Josh Jacobs, Hakeem Butler/Preston Williams/Riley Ridley etc gotta grab a couple DL DT/DE the draft as well as a OLB. A D’Andre Walker OLB Georgia/Ben Banogu TCU to be a Lorax replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s by far and away the best rb in this draft imo. He does it all, hasn’t been used up in college and has done nothing but make himself into a top talent. Sign me up. I’d be ok if we traded down a couple times and used our first pick on him based on the player we’d be getting. Not the biggest need, but he could be BPA I like Josh as well. I don’t know if he’ll go top 10, but he won’t last past 20. Every team could use a Josh Jacobs for sure, but so teams may pass cause they technically fell good at RB and can fill a hole with equal talent on defense in the top 10. Plus knowing next year has like 4 legit round 1 RBs and probably 3 more in round 2 they can possibly wait. But Josh knowing our offense with a RB over 30 makes him more attractive. Bills could swap with Denver still get more picks and grab Jacobs at 10. there will be a run on QBs. I could even see Denver swapping picks with us cause the Denver, Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins and Minnesota all may looking to move up and grab Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Will Grier.... they aren’t going to sit and see who falls to them knowing picks 10, 11, 13, 15, 18 may grab a QB.

Murray will go top half of round 1 if he proves he's committed to football 100%. Enough scouts all saying that's the case and Jacksonville / NYG / Denver / Miami / Washington are all on the QB market at a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still very early, but as of right now I think I would be okay with Metcalf at 9 if he is moving up the boards that much.

RobbRiddick Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Does anyone feel a lot more relaxed during the build-up to this draft? Last year I was obsessed with the idea of them getting a QB. Now that we've got that piece out of the way (if you believe, like me, that Allen is a good'un) I feel like this one will be more fun 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to draft them because quality ones simply dont ever become available at free agency time. We drafted our QB last year and it has worked out, now we need to draft a WR high if we think he can be a #1. Otherwise who we getting in free agency? Crabtree? Way too old. Good oline and d line are usually available come free agency . Not WR. If we think DK is a potential stud #1 you draft him. Fill the oline and other needs through free agency 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was obsessed with the idea of them getting a QB.

As hopeful as I am, I’m not 100% sold on Allen yet, but I’m VERY encouraged and we don’t have to worry about it this draft regardless. Have a few QB’s pushed up the board and let the studs drop to us at #9 or a little later with a bonus prize. There should be some quality options available. Having said that, if we can draft again like last year, THAT is EXCITING. We don’t have to just rely on the first couple rounds to find real players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
