If The Bills Stay @ #9, Who Is Your Guy?

Recommended Posts

Every year we all develop a man-crush on a single player we deem worthy of the pick within ourselves, a guy we bang the table for when the Bills go on the clock. Of course there are many variables as there are 8 teams picking in front of us. It's safe to say we definitely won't be taking a QB as we have ours, for years to come hopefully. It's also safe to assume Bosa, Quinnen Williams, and Josh Allen will be off of the board. I also believe it's a safe bet that Murray and Haskins will also be two of the guys taken. That is 5 of the 8 in front of us. That being said, the rest of the draft is wide open. Who is your guy? 

 

For me, it's this guy right here:

 

Devin White has elite speed at the position, he has natural instincts that can't be taught, he plays with violence, sheds blocks with ease, and he is constantly looking to create turnovers while still making the tackle. He honestly reminds me of a young Ray Lewis. Can you imagine him, Edmunds, and Milano out there on defense? Three LB's who can cover and knock the snot out of people? I believe we would have the best group of LB's in the NFL. I see this guy as one of the elite players in this draft and wouldn't hesitate for a second to take him if on the board when we pick @ #9.

Ed Oliver and DK Metcalf are my preferred options at this point but I wouldn’t be mad at basically any of the directions they seem likely to go. Montez Sweat, Brian Burns, Jawaan Taylor, etc. it’s all fine to me.

Who goes #1-8?

 

So the 5 I think look all but certain are: Bosa, Allen, Williams, Murray and White (sorry OP)

 

The next 3 most likely in my mind are Haskins, Ferrell and Oliver but also in the mix are Greedy, Wilkins, Gary and Sweat.

depending on what they do in fa...in terms of getting a dt or if not, i'm for ed oliver....if they're stuck at 9.

i really think they should concentrate on edge rush. trade down and get an extra 2nd then take sweat in the teens.  we can always trade back into the 3rd where i'd take o. ximines.

we could land two fearsome rushers for years to come. jerry ain't getting any younger and this could very well be his last year as a bill.....even tho i love the guy.

 

if they do take a couple of edges as above after maybe signing a sheldon richardson on a prove it deal, i would then target daniel wise dt in the 4th.

Sorry, I specifically avoid getting a man crush on any given prospect.  I figure that is setting oneself up for disappointment.  I can be intrigued by a player, usually multiple players, but I figure it's no smart to go into the draft wearing blinders.  I am pretty sure any good GM feels the same way.

He won't be there at 9, but hoping for a miracle. I want Quinnon Williams. If not Q, I'd be happy with Ed Oliver or even TJ. 

 

 

This is all based on us fixing the OL in FA, and nabbing a WR in round 2.

Oliver, Taylor, Hockenson, DK, White, Gary- I am on board with any of those picks at 9-Oliver and White I prefer at 9.  The sweet spot of this draft is picks 20-100.  I much prefer trading back and loading up on top 100

You win at the Line of Scrimmage. Build both lines.

 

Yes sir it all starts in the trenches on both sides of the ball !! I would be happy with either J. Williams or J. Taylor at #9 sure DK is the sexiest pick but is more of a boom or bust player the guy is definitely a freak but his production wasn't all that in college .

 

The 2 linemen have a stronger career to this point & in order for the run game & the passing game to work correctly the line play has to be strong or neither will go very far !! 

 

I think we can get some strong WR in the second round I pray N'Keal Harry is there at our pick in the second round that would be perfect to get either of the afore mentioned O linemen then that guy with he second pick but i'm not real sure that will happen !

 

I would like to see Bean get the guy from UB to in a later round if possible Anthony Jackson i think he could be a good pick & a homer on the team would be a good thing !!

Who?

DK all the way. I like the TEs and OTs but the difference in potential from them to the potential free agents isn't as big as the difference between DK and the available WRs. That's before you consider the price difference as well. There's no way to get a #1 WR this offseason outside of hitting on one in the draft. There are plenty of starting caliber TE an OTs available so hopefully we can snag them.

If D. White is available, he is the BPA and should be taken in about 2 seconds.  Your LB corp is set for the next 10 years.  Then, this is a deep WR class, draft a speedy WR in the 2nd.  Lots to choose from.  I'm also assuming we hit a few OL/TE in FA.

TJ Hockenson

 

IMO he's the Zach Ertz for Josh Allen and it's very hard to screw up TE from Iowa.  Fant is likely the better athlete but Hockenson is the better football player.  

 

(Assumes we hit on some OL in free agency)

Are there any DT's in Free Agency worth a look?  

 

I'd love to grab Paradis and Williams for the OL.  Also add a DT and/or DE in FA.   Then go Hockenson at 9, and a Harry/Campbell/Butler etc in Rd 2.

Rashan Gary.

 

I do think Gary is gonna last as well. I wasn't sure he would pre-Kyler Murray because I thought all of the top 3 would want edge guys and Gary might end up a Jet at #3. Now I think the top 5 is Murray and then Bosa, Allen, Williams and White (the last two possible flipped). Then Haskins is still the favourite to go at #6 - depends what the Jags want to do at #7 - Gary could be in play there as could Ferrell, Oliver and Wilkins.

I want this guy.

 

 

I don't want ANY Tightend that early! You don't spend a top 10 pick on a TE. History tells us that.
