Bills official Top 30 pre-draft visits

Why is it called a top 30? I don’t recall that terminology in prior years, is this something new?

I don’t think so. They only get 30 visits to OBD, so that’s where the # comes from. Local kids don’t count (UB, etc).

They didn’t have White or Dawkins on a visit. But the Panthers did (for the conspiracy theorists) 

 

The only other 1st round pick since 2010 they haven’t had in for a visit was Shaq. 

 

You're on the ball as usual, man! If I recall correctly, they didn't visit with Shaq because they thought he'd be long gone by the time they picked.

Looks like the Bills are doing their due diligence on CBS in the 2nd-3rd round range

It’s looking like a strong possibility they take one on Day 2. 

 

I wonder if the EJ Gaines signing lowers the CB draft needs.

Right now I hope a CB isn't taken before the 5th.

Jaylon Ferguson

 

Where is he projected to go?  Looks like a beast.  PFWeekly had him as the 3rd best edge rusher.  Maybe a trade down in the 1st?  Is he projected that high?

Dawson Knox another traditional Y tight end. 

 

Interesting. 

 

Seems we prefer guys that are proficient in blocking. 

 

I continue to beat the TJ Hockenson drum and to me this is more evidence 

we have to protect Josh.  So far we have added Kroft, Long, Fisher, Waddle, Feliciano, Morse, and Nsekhe to block for Josh.  Beane is not done yet adding blockers

Juan Thornhill is a projected second rounder.  We have also visited CB Amani Oruwariye, Penn State (1-2)
CB JoeJuan Williams, Vanderbilt (2-3).  Are we drafting CB in 2nd round?  BillNYC will have a conniption if we go CB in 2nd, and no oline in first.  
Lots of these players are late first, second rounders.  Jaylon, N'Keal.....I'm thinking we trade back if no Ed Oliver

I noticed that too. I think they are players who could be there at 40. And I could see them taking a CB there if that’s how the board fell.

I am a little perplexed about selecting a CB so high.  I understand BPA, and that you can't have too many CBs.  But I put the Bills biggest issues to address-stopping the run, QB pressures, and protecting Josh.  CB does little to remedy those issues.  We are already deep at CB with Tre, Taron, KJ, EJ, Levi, Lewis, and Pitts.  CB is not the problem with our D.  We need DE, LB, DT before CB IMO.  If we trade back and have extra picks, I am ok with selecting a CB if the value is there.  But we are better utilizing our draft assets on many other positions IMO.  I'm hoping for 3-4 starters from Beane's draft day maneuvers'

One benefit of fortifying our already strong secondary is that Josh will hone his skills against possibly the best secondary in NFL.  The training camp battles will make Josh and our WRs much better.  It's all about competition, and improving whichever position that you can

The fact that KJ and EJ are on one year deals, are both incredibly injury prone, and they aren’t sold on Levi at outside CB2 (and he won’t be able to do anything to change that before the draft) makes me think it’s in play - along with the late 1/round 2 CBs they are looking at. I don’t know if I necessarily agree with it. I also could see them waiting and taking one later given McD’s gold touch on young CBs. I would be very surprised if they don’t take one at all. I don’t put much into Taron Johnson given he’s pretty much slot only. The rest are depth.

Just based on the visits I would expect DL, WR, OL, S/CB, and TE to be the first 5 picks. 

 

The first three rounds will be some combination of WR, DL, and OL.

I feel like that's something very few people consider: the dawgs you're up against day in and day out, in practice, can really  benefit you, if they're good. Great point!
