Due diligence! According to Beane on WGR this afternoon, he's unsure if there is an "elite" talent O-lineman at #9. And I tend to agree. Jonah has the best resume out of the lot, but his measurements say Guard at the next level. Which is still a need, but having never played that position, I wonder if he falls due to his projection?

 

Kind of my take...pretty sure if the Bills stay put at 9 they go DL. Too many elite interior defensive players for the McBeane combo to pass up. There are some edge guys too that they might prefer.

 

The dreams of Hock or other top-end receiving options IMO only have a slim chance of happening and only if they Bills trade down, get extra picks in the 1st, and those top-end offensive skill players slip a bit further in the 1st than expected. That's a lot of if's, and I think its more likely they grab one of the serviceable TE's and WR's later.

 

What OBD does in free agency will dictate draft O-Line strategy, but there are safer picks for G and RT's in this draft, than LT's and C so I don't see them moving Dawkins, but they will bring in guys to compete/start at both G positions, a veteran FA Center (really hoping Spencer is not already penciled in as the starter), and I suspect they draft one of the many RT maulers available this year.

crap was hoping to get him latter. Wish we had 6 picks in the first three rounds ...

I was looking at this list last night.  Seems to me a lot of later round OL.  Might be thinking of passing on the OL in the 1st round and going with a WR/TE or DL.

 

I'm rooting for a trade down and TJ!!

 

Dimarco 's days could be over ;)

You’re not intrigued by giving big armed Josh Allen a Calvin Johnson type athlete?  I can envision big things.  Worth the risk, IMO

 

 

wouldn't mind seeing Hakeem Butler, kid really  fights for balls ,makes tough catches and can fly, probably the closest thing To Calvin Johnson in a long time.

I'll repeat what I say almost every year -- why aren't skill position players running the 40 in pads and helmets?

 

At least at pro day where they have that equipment. Would be interesting to see the difference.

He's a unique talent, for sure.  Love how physical he is.  Really has some nasty in him, loves to mix it up blocking.  I don't think he has the best hands though.

I am hoping the bills go WR/TE/RB in the first 3 rounds and not take an Olineman or ANY Defense early. We have plenty of money to fix the lines in FA and the defense is pretty much complete Imo. The college game isn’t developing offense linemen properly anyway. We desperately need skill position players and I have no interest in buying any of these second rate FA with tread on the tires. Go out and get the best combination of WR-TE-RB early and give josh young help.

Can’t see Bills taking an OL at #9.  Jonah Williams the only guy I could’ve seen them taking, but he doesn’t have elite physical traits.  If they trust Metcalf’s mental makeup, I think #9 comes down to him or one of the DL’s.   

I am still hoping Ed Oliver is there at 9 and the Bills grab him. Could use a disrupter on the interior.

Dillard and Taylor really could end up top 10 picks.

 

This league is starved for OLmen, and both guys really solidified their statuses with their efforts yesterday. Taylor looking silky smooth despite a hamstring problem may, in fact, have vaulted him to OT1 on a lot of boards

No thanks to AJ Brown:

 

#OleMiss WR A.J. Brown said that the key to he and fellow Rebels WR D.K. Metcalf’s body transformations was all in the diet. Said the hardest food he had to give up was wings. “I’m a big wings guy.”

Is this what you’re referring to?

That is a very good point...straight line speed is not as important as quickness and agility.

 

Those shuttle and cone drills probably give you more to base decisions on if the tape has you on the fence...strength and reps factor too.

 

Still, a 300+ pound man running a sub-5 is still pretty flipp'n amazing to see... unless he just passed the TE on a pull and your a 170lb DB in his way :)

The 10 yard split is why they run the 40 both for o and d line.

He is 30 lbs heavier than Hunter was at his combine, he is also a helluva lot stronger. 

I said he compares to Andre Johnson’s measurements.

 

He’s nothing like him as a receiver. He’s closer to Hunter.
