CSBill Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yes, would love him. The question is where to/can you get him? Late 2, early 3, I don't think he will last into the 4th. If you really want him, I think you have to pick him in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Isabella looks like a great draft prospect. With so many holes in the Bills' roster I don't think Beane will place as much value on him as most of us do. More complete teams that are looking to fill a specific need will probably select him in an earlier round than the Bills would be willing to do. I like him a lot and hope he slides down the draft.

dezertbill Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Prior to this weekend, I was totally against drafting DK Metcalf. Now, he looks like a player the Bills would definitely shoot for. First, his combine was off the charts. When I first heard 1.6% body fat, that was a concern for injury. But the more I've watched video of him, the more I like him. His catch radius is ridiculous. He can catch over you, I even saw him catch the ball and the DB together. His reach is monstrous. He can make the one handed catch look simple. He can out jump anybody in the league and ***** the ball out of the air. He is a definite deep threat, no question. He can burn any DB in the league. He can also run over any safety because of his strong frame. The guy is a beast. With all that said, there is one reason why I believe he is a lock to be rated high on the Bills draft board. His upbringing. His situation reminds me so much of Tremaine Edmunds. DK's dad Terrance Metcalf was a OL for the Bears. You can tell hearing DK talk, he comes across as very respectful of authority. I just watched an Underarmour commercial with DK and his parents, and you can tell they raised him right. Terrance didn't let him play football until he was 12. When he started to excel, his dad kept him in check. You can tell DK has immense respect and love for his parents. Not only is he a freak of a WR, but he is also a really good kid who grew up around the game and knows the sacrifices it takes to make it. Similar to Tremaine and his dad Ferrell. McD and Beane eat that stuff up! I would be shocked if the Bills traded down with Metcalf on the board. To me, he is the ultimate weapon for Josh Allen. Think Julio Jones, but bigger, and faster. 8 hours ago, Franchiseneedsme said: Metcalf at #9 Isabella at #40, Grab 3 Top Oline(overpay if you have to),Grab a RB somewhere in the draft, And the Offence will be top 10 next year.

If the Oline is fixed in FA this team gets to 10 wins. This would not surprise me at all. Keep in mind the Bills have hit virtually every pick in the 1st through 4th round since McD came on. With 2 3rds and 2 4ths, and OL as deep as it is, you can get value in day 2 and 3. Edited March 4, 2019 by dezertbill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is go no further than the recent super bowl mvp to know if a guy that size can hold up...because it’s not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog. This guy screams “process” and team player through and through and simply cannot be contained on a football field. Aren’t you tired of watching the Pats kill the league, year after year with this type of receiver? Didn’t you ever wish it was the Bills who had that ability? Well, if there is one guy I want to draft more than any other player it’s Andy Isabella...Go Bills! i wouldn't say over any WR but i would love to have him.

freddyjj Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Could plug him into McKenzies role. Daboll showed how he could use a smaller gadget guy late in season. Not used much as a returner in college so would either need to show he could handle both roles or be a gunner ala Tasker to increase his draft value. He is stout enough to hold up as a gunner at 5'9" 190 lbs. Edited March 4, 2019 by freddyjj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) He's one of my favorite guys in the Draft. He's the type that will quickly get the moniker, 'QB's best friend.' EDIT: I love Terry McLaurin as well. More and more I'm thinking Josh Allen is a QB that doesn't need a bonafide #1 WR and instead needs like 4 guys who are reliable. Look at Russell Wilson's career. He's never really had a star wideout. He's had an array of dependable guys like Tate, Richardson, Lockett, Baldwin and Harvin. I'd feel comfortable spending a 2nd/3rd on Isabella and one of our 4ths on McLaurin. Edited March 4, 2019 by FeelingOnYouboty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you expect McBean to say ? Oh we’re looking for a talll WR at least 6’3 with speed ? C’mon man !! but I’m with you on Isabella I would love to see him in Bills uniform!!!!

Ohio T&F star going to UMASS seems like an odd choice. He didn't even do track and field until his senior year. He was a high school RB and no Divison 1 program showed interest really. He had an offer from an FCS school but that was basically it. He had gotten some interest from Oklahoma State, but they filled their final recruiting spot. Air Force had some interest but he didn't want to commit to the post-graduate stuff there. Track and field coach convinced him to give it a try and he went out and broke the record for the 60 meter or something like that. UMass's coach was desperate to add some speed to the team so he offered him a spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 He averaged 19.3 yards per kick return and 8.6 yards per punt return. That is a skill the Bills need. I wonder if he consulted with Don Beebe's "House of Speed" he could knock off a little time. He reminds me of Don Beebe a bit but not even close to being as fast.
