USA Today's 4-Round Mock - I'd be Thrilled

Round 1:

14. Buffalo Bills (from ATL)* | D.K. Metcalf | WR | Ole Miss

Another team that moves back and still lands the player they likely would have picked at their original spot, the Bills get a huge win with this scenario. Adding extra picks and still getting the most complete pass-catcher in this draft would be a great start to a draft that has to be about building around Josh Allen.

 

Round 2: 

40. Buffalo Bills | Garrett Bradbury | OL | North Carolina State

45. Buffalo Bills (from ATL)* | Andre Dillard | OT | Washington State 

 

Round 3:

74. Buffalo Bills | Devin Singletary | RB | FAU

 

Round 4:

105. Buffalo Bills | Montre Hartage | CB | Northwestern

110. Buffalo Bills (from ATL)* | Emanuel Hall | WR | Missouri

124. Buffalo Bills (from KC) | Renell Wren | DL | Arizona State

 

 

If the Bills traded back to acquire another 2nd & 4th round pick, then ended up drafting a WR & 2 x O-linemen with their first 3 picks, I'd be overjoyed. Unfortunately, it'd be far more Bills-like to go defense yet again, or use another first round pick on a RB. A man can dream though, and taking the offense seriously, especially O-line, would bring a smile to my face.

Not quite sold on D.K. Metcalf though. The guy definitely fits the athletic "freak" moniker that's so easily thrown around, I mean just look at him - https://247sports.com/Article/Dk-Metcalf-NFL-Draft-muscle-photo-viral--128993072/  (yes, he's the guy on the left!), but he only played in 7 games last year & is relatively inexperienced being a sophomore. Scouts think he's got too much upside though, so who knows.

Going defense at least once in the first three picks wouldn't be "Bills-like." And what does "Bills-like" mean anyway? So far, this FO has made more good moves than mistakes.

 

No way to know what it would be without knowing who the players are, but picking the best available player would make a ton of sense in the long term, which is how we should all be thinking.

 

I would love picking up extra picks, but my guess is that they pick at #9.

I don’t see the Bills using that many picks. If they trade back, I’d expect trade ups later.  I used the draft value chart to keep it realistic and Easterling’s mock to get guys that he has available at those spots. Here are a couple of modifications that I’d like:

14 - D.K. Metcalf

40 - Garrett Bradbury 

45 - Andre Dillard

59 (trade 74, 105, 167) - Jaylon Ferguson

96 (trade 110, 124) - Elijah Holyfield

 

IMO, this would be a ridiculous draft.

I like that too. O-line help and a big WR threat, what more is there to like?

"Bills-like" would be using a first round pick on a defensive player when we have the #2 ranked defense overall & the 30th ranked total offense with a young QB who lacks surrounding talent that you invested heavily in last year.

In other words, an inexplicable move that seems to defy logic. Or drafting a RB in the first round when you have a Pro Bowl RB. Or drafting another RB in the first round to replace that previous first round RB. Or drafting ANOTHER RB in the first round to replace that first round RB (when you even have a starter-caliber backup behind that guy...YAY for 3 starting RBs!).

They may stay put at 9, but if they have one or two WR's they love that would be around regardless, they should definitely explore moving back & getting the best value. No need to pull a 2006 all over again, drafting Donte Whitner 8th overall when he would've never been taken that high by anyone else.

Debatable. Trading up for Zay was horrible, trading up for Tremaine is looking like it was not the right move either. Trading for KB was a disaster. Mike Tolbert as RB2 was a mess. Highly overpaid for Star who was decent, and Trent who was never available and average at best. Going into the year with ONLY Peterman in front of Allen, are you kidding me???!!! Josh Allen was not supposed to start this early, lack of depth and veteran experience at QB thrust him in immediately. 

 

Not paying Richie was idiotic. Opened a hole when they did not have to undercut him. Bodine and Groy as your centers when you had 7 months to prepare for Wood leaving? What a mess. How in the world do you have a 2 year PLANNED set of moves to get a franchise QB and go backwards with OL the entire time.

 

Don't even get me started on letting Robert Woods walk and creating yet another hole. $7 million was a freaking bargain for him, these guys need to understand positional inflation. We are now paying more, 2 years later, for an average DE who can't finish a game. 

 

Rick Dennison. Enough said. In two straight years, they had an old player QUIT football before finishing the season. They can't even gauge whether these guys want to play anymore. 

 

They are good coaches but in terms of acquiring and keeping players efficiently, I'm not so sure.

I agree with most of what you said.  However, regarding Woods, recent comments from him were that he wanted to go to a team with an above average QB/passing game.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they "wasted" one of their early round picks on a CB.  This after trading away Darby and letting Gillmore leave.

 

I understood why they decided to trade away Dareus, Watkins, Darby and Ragland but I didn't like what they got in return and the holes they created in the lineup.

All fair points, but I can point to T. White, Hyde, Poyer, Milano, Dawkins, T. Johnson, Levi Wallace, and R. Foster as good moves made by the same regime.  Also, Richie seemed to have a few more problems than taking a pay cut.

The defensive backs are a position they have nailed. However, they did let a first team all pro CB walk and I have a feeling we are getting a first round CB this year.

 

In terms of Foster, you can thank Daboll who BTW, is probably my favorite coach on the team. 

 

For me, the book is still out on Dawkins and Milano. They played some great games last year but they also had some really tough games too. Let's not forget.

FWIW they cut Foster at one point, I’m not sure that’s a great example of talent evaluation.

I think Ferguson is going to sneak into the back end of the 1st round. Dillard might too.

Dawkins, sure. Milano had one poor game. Other than that he was a stud last year until his injury.

That wasn't this FO. McDermott was here but nobody in the personnel department was. And I don't think the price was $7m for Buffalo. I think he took less than he could have got to go to LA. USC kid I think he wanted to go back to California.

I agree on Ferguson. I think that it’s possible that the off the field incident pushes him down. I don’t think that the 2nd is crazy though. He’s going to be a great pro IMO. I pounded the table for Darius Leonard last year as the small school guy that would make an impact. I feel similarly about Ferguson. 

 

Dillard is a tough one for me. It’s tough to evaluate guys in that system imo. He is a good pass blocker  and MAY be the best LT in this class for that reason. I think that there are some better OL though. If Dillard is added I would kick Dawkins inside to guard (where I think he could be really good). I don’t think that mid-2nd is far off from where he goes. I think it’s somewhere between about 20-55. 

 

Also, agree on Dawkins and Milano. Milano was FANTASTIC last year. He has a nose for the football.

Milano was one of the best players on the defense last season and it was obvious how much the defense missed his presence when he went down with an injury.  He was all over the field.

 

Gilmore was a man-to-man CB that would have been way overpaid to play in a zone defense.  Same goes for Darby.  Scheme fit was the main reason there, don't understand why fans still can't grasp that concept.  

 

Also, there are more more DT options that may fall to 9 than CB.  They have to attempt to replace Kyle Williams.  I think they know just how big of a whole he left.  Why would they draft a 1st round CB when they've had success finding quality players in the 4th round and in UDFA?  That logic makes zero sense. That's the point of a zone defense, so you don't have to find an extremely skilled corner. This defense relies on creating pressure with only a four man front so that the zone causes problems for the QB and the secondary can feast off of poor decisions.

Yea pretty much the same on both. I have a 1st/2nd borderline grade on Ferguson, wasn't aware of the off field tbh... but if the Bills drafted him in the second I'd jump for joy.

 

I don't love Dillard as much as some but if you ask me which guy in this class has the best chance to be a franchise LT I think it is he. Williams and Ford to me are guys whose greatest potential is on the interior and Taylor and Edwards (my guy out of Wisconsin) are in my view RT only guys.

They did it when he was underachieving but they kept him on the squad.  It was more of a kick in the pants to get him motivated and it clearly worked.  After he came back, he was a different player.

If the Bills pick at 9 and a couple QB's go before us, we'll be drafting Kyle's replacement at that spot. Maybe an OL or TE moves up into Beane's top 9 before the draft, though. I'm more excited about the start of FA on 3/13/19 right now since it's likely to completely change our approach. I hope we sign at least 2 young OL (C and OT) with starting experience and 1 WR. The guys we draft need to step in and contribute right away, at least the guys we draft in rounds 1 - 3.

No that’s not how it works. They gave every other team a chance at picking him up for a drop in the bucket. It’s not like they had a bunch of talented WRs that pushed him off the roster. They had one of the worst WR groups and decided he was the one they would expose to waivers.

 

It was a terrible decision and they got lucky.

I'll be shocked if they draft a CB in the 1st or 2nd round. PFF gave Levi Wallace the highest grade of any rookie CB in 2018, including the 1st round picks. I bet Daboll had something to do with that.

We very well could go defense this year with the 9th pick. IF they can't find a trade partner, which I believe is their first option, they have a major need at the penetrating DT spot.  If some of the top offensive players are picked ahead of us and some of those top DTs fall into our laps, I'd have no problem taking one.  They understand the need to bring more pressure with only a four man front when using a zone defense like we do.  I'd rather do that than reach for an offensive talent that clearly is not a top 10 talent.  Unfortunately, this class is defensively top heavy.  Now we will definitely see players move up in the class as the combine and pro days arrive but let's not force a need and take a less talented player when at 9 when we have many other picks.  We had success finding undrafted free agents too last year.  The wide receiver and tight end positions in this class are quite deep along with a few other positions we have needs at so there's really no need to force the issue at 9.

He had 2 catches for 30 yards in 6 games on an offense where he could have easily taken over the 1st WR role if he played well in that span, later he did so.  I don't see any team that was looking to scoop a player off of our WR group from the beginning of last season.  He showed he could drop the ball really well if you remember.  It wasn't until after he came back that the light came on.  How is that a bad decision if the guy showed nothing?  He completely did a 180 which worked out well but to point fingers at them and say it was a bad decision based on what he had shown to that point is just hindsight BS.

People are using it as an example that OBD knows what it’s doing. They let their best WR go it’s as simple as that. I’m trying to remember if they waived him and brought up Cam Phillips.

 

What would the reaction around here be if someone else put in a claim and Foster had the same second half for a different team? They would get destroyed around here for it, they got lucky. Exposing your best player at any position is certainly never acceptable.

 

That’s their job, coaching, evaluating, motivating, they thought Cam Phillips was the better option. So they missed something or simply failed to motivate Foster.

No, it's not as simple as that because he wasn't their best WR at the time.  He was one of the worst when they made that decision, so they expected no team to be interested which makes it a much safer move.  Here let me grab a wide receiver who produced nothing with every opportunity for a Buffalo team, produced nothing in college and had an injury history in college.  The only reason we even had the player is probably because of the Daboll connection.  

 

You're playing the if game which is a pointless one and you're saying he was our best WR in the beginning of the season which is false.  He had potential just like every NFL player does but he didn't play well until after returning later in the year.

Sending a player to the practice squad isn’t how a team motivates a player. It’s a team admitting it’s okay with moving on without the player because once the move is made it’s out of there control. At some point they decided Ray Ray’s, Phillips, had better potential than Foster. That is a gross mistake and neither one of those guys have “potential” in the NFL, they are roster fillers.

Robert Foster was in the same category as both Ray Ray and Phillips based on what he'd accomplished up to that point.  They were all roster fillers with potential to become something.  Foster ended up being the guy that did. What do you think the practice squad is used for?  Many teams use it for those type of players who haven't accomplished anything but have potential.  It's a stash system.  

 

You are still giving Foster the credit that he had accomplished something up to that point but he did not.  He was a practice squad type of player up to that point.  He proved that he wasn't a player that could produce in his first 6 games.  It wasn't until Mccoy talked with him and told him to step it up that he changed his approach.  Being cut added to that motivation.  Then, he became the player that we saw in the later part of the season.  Robert Foster even stated that he needed to be cut to become the player he did.

Does this mean all 32 NFL GMs are dumb because no one picked him up off waivers? He was terrible at the start of the season. No one predicted he would turn it around like that. I think it's the biggest in-season improvement I've ever seen to be honest.

Yeah, USA Today did right by the Bills.  The only player about whom I have some misgivings is Emmanuel Hall.  He's got speed to burn, but has a reputation for some drops.  But hey, it the 4th round you've got to take some chances.

Did the other 31 teams watch him practice/play and then watch the likes of RR and Cam Phillips and all the other bums? I don’t think anyone is dumb, I just think the Bills got lucky. It certainly wasn’t a kick in the ass, that’s not how the NFL works. When you hit waivers the team is ok with you going elsewhere. 

 

They are paid to coach/evaluate/motivate, Foster isn’t an example of them getting it right. He was sent packing.

No he wasn't. He was put on the practice squad, developed, and came back to the roster. For years I've been waiting for the Bills to actually develop their own players, finally they do and the complaint is they screwed up by putting him on the practice squad. How many practice squad players are claimed by other teams in the middle of the season? It must be less than 1%. He was terrible and no one wanted him. His turnaround was incredible. Credit to Chad Hall and Daboll.

Yeah let’s pat them on the back for exposing Foster to waivers. It’s a whew moment, not an oh boy we really nailed this one. 

 

His turn around was incredible, after his first few weeks everyone wanted him gone. Still, the guys that get paid get credit for what they do and don’t do, as fans we guess from miles away. If I’m paying a bunches of coaches I want them to be able to see that Foster has something that the other guys don’t. Maybe he can add to the list of Romo, Harrison, and Arian Foster as best PS stories. 

 

Chad Hall was on a PS or two.

This was exactly what I was thinking.  If we traded back and picked up another 2nd rounder, I could definitely see them coming back up into the 1st round to get someone else they like.  They already have a lot of picks, and if they added more, we would be moving around again and again.

Do love the 2 second round picks - meh before and after. I am sure Metcalf will kill it during the combine since he is a physical beast - just not sure if that "beastness" transfers to ball skills, route running, separation etc. But if they do get Metcalf, I will be rooting for him to become the premier WR #1 of course.
