I mentioned in another thread that Devin White could be the pick at 9. There is a very real chance he’ll be BPA at 9.

It would be hard to dislike that pick from a pure player/talent  standpoint but from a “need” standpoint it would get absolutely eviscerated, I predict

It probably depends somewhat on how FA goes, but I agree. There are a few on here who will meltdown if all 10 picks aren’t on offense.

He is usually really good with how many times they go to see specific schools - they saw Tre White play live 3x for example but we all thought that they were there to see Jamal Adams based on where they were drafting before they traded down. What threw me off big time last year was that they never went to see Josh Allen play live. Unless it was uncredentialed. They saw Darnold 2x and Beane and Schoen went to see Rudolph. 

 

To be fair, there’s a good chance they weren’t there specifically for tre. After the fact it’s easy to create a storyline

I feel like stuff like this isn’t near as insightful as he portrays

I agree hes too short and light but hes still talented and deserving of a 2nd round choice

I agree he is talented. But talent alone, without prototypical size/speed/etc does not always equate to a 2nd round pick. I think I've seen enough of McD and Beane to know they typically go for the prototypes, certainly in the top of the draft anyway. I think he's a quality player, and would fill a need, but other than his height/weight, I'm concerned about his hand size and more importantly his wingspan. Just doesn't fit with this FO's philosophy IMO

Of course, there's always the Daboll connection, so maybe I'm off base

My money is on Bars solely because, as a projected mid-round pick, he's a
 
a.) senior
b.) team captain
 
Without the stats to back it up, Beane seems to have really valued those qualities in his picks over the last few years

 

Beane has only had one draft. How can he show what he values over the past few years? He wasn't calling the shots in Carolina.

Astro is the Bills correspondent for Drafttek, and I note in their latest Mock draft they have Quinnen Williams as the Bills pick at 9...

 

Dreams are free I guess...

They also have Ridley at Pick 40 and Julian Love at 74...  Hope Beane did a good job fixing the OL in Free Agency..

Astro has been saying it is his opinion the Bills will be very active in FA on the OL and doesn’t think they go OL early in draft. Just his view

It makes a ton of sense to go this route, truly opens you up for BPA in the draft and vets can play the line much quicker than rookies, which will help Allen tremendously.

Fair enough...

 

I don't know how much say he has in these mock drafts for the Bills pick in any event...

Agreed and for the analytics crowd, looking for players with prototypical,height, weight, speed is using analytics
