RPbillsfan Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 If I were the Bills GM I would try and sign RT Darryl Williams, G Ramon Foster and resign Jordan Phillips. Try to trade down maybe with the Redskins for their 1st and 2nd. Then at 15 I select TE TJ Hockenson, he is the next Gronk and if we pass and the Patriots get him we will suffer for the next 10 years. Then in round 2 I would select WR Hakeem Butler and C Bradberry. Love to roll out a WR crew of Butler, Foster, Jones and McKenzie (or maybe a Tavon Austin) and Hockenson and Croom at TE. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I like Ramon.....but would try to aquire OT Brown from the Pats There is only one Gronk......but there does appear to be solid TE prospects in this draft and we SHOULD get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I believe the Bills by adding a G and RT in FA would set themselves up to use their draft position to try and get two 2nds by trading down in the first. Then the BPA at position of need would apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch we do the trade down with Washington. 15 would be a perfect spot for TJH. Clay and Thomas will be cut and Croon is barely a #2 guy. Grab as many OL in FA and use the 2-3 picks for wrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hockenson is legit. But Washington is not giving up a 1st and 2nd to move up from 15 to 9. Weeks ago posted this same scenario. Trade down with Washington and grab TJ and Butler round 2. All depends on FA. People will say TE at 15 is to high. OJ Howard went 19 and TJ is a 1 in every 10 year TE. He is the complete package 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJ Howard went 19 and TJ is a 1 in every 10 year TE. He is the complete package I actually think going from 15 to 9 for a QB would cost more than a second. I think a 2nd is fair value on the trade charts, so it’s definitely your starting point and minimum compensation. But I would think something small would have to be added for the “QB premium”.

Bob in NoCal Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It looks like a lot of people saw that Iowa State bowl game. Butler was a monster in that game, albeit in a losing effort. His catch radius is just phenomenal; probably what we thought we were getting when we picked up KB. He's exactly what we need, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith on thier roster and they seem to like him. I don't think TE will be a high priority for them. Don't forget Washington. Jordan Reed is hurt all the time and his backup is the veteran Vernon Davis. Seahawks don't really have anyone either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPbillsfan Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Teams with high priority WR Needs: Arizona - May take one at top of the 2nd round 49ers - High probability to acquire Antonio Brown Jets - Need # 1 for Darnold, may take 2nd round Raiders - Need 2 probably taking one with 2nd or 3rd 1st round pick Buccaneers - Solid at WR Giants - Solid at WR Jaguars - Need QB 1st, WR later Lions - Major need, but not in 1st round Bills - Major need, but others Needs on OLine may be higher priority Broncos - Drafted young WR last year Bengals - Later round depth pick Packers - Drafted young WR's last year Dolphins - Too many other needs Falcons - Solid at this position Redskins - QB highest priority Panthers - Have young WR Talent Browns - Could go for a compliment for Landry Vikings - OL is highest priority Titans - Could go WR or TE Steelers - Need CB or LB Seahawks - Needs in other areas Ravens - May go RB based on their system Texans - OL 1st priority Raiders - Could be CB or WR Eagles - DB is major need Colts - WR or DT are priority needs Raiders - WR or DB Chargers - LB or DT Chiefs - Secondary Packers - Safety or Edge Rams - LB or DT Patriots - TE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I just hope we don't take a WR again and pass on the next Aaron Donald. I am now thinking Ed Oliver (DT) if he is there, and then go offense...OL, WR, TE, RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prb with Butler is he has a hard time vs the press he's also stiff in the hips and has straight line speed only . I think he'll be available late 2nd or early 3rd.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I like both prospects, especially Hockenson... but the real reason I'm on board is because it is a tried and true method to load up your offense with a Wyoming signal caller slinging it to Iowa targets.
