Bills official Top 30 pre-draft visits


Recommended Posts

Breaking out the pre-draft visits by projected draft round:
 
1: WR, OT, DT, DE (x4), S
1-2: WR (x2), CB, S
2-3: RB, TE, C, OT, CB
3-4: TE, DE
4-5: OL, DT, DE, LB
5-6: CB
6-7: TE
 
A couple notes:
  • You can tell that adding a blue chip DL prospect is a definite priority for them, considering that 20% of their visits thus far have been spent on D-linemen projected to go in the top 20 picks.
  • It's interesting that they're spending time meeting with safeties projected to go in the first two rounds. I didn't think of it as a need, especially with two entrenched starters, but perhaps they're looking to have 3 safeties on the field more often? 
 
I'm curious to see how they allocate their remaining 5 visits.

Last year both Allen and Edmunds were visits

 

Not many candidates for pick 9 on that list.  Taylor, Gary, Oliver and Sweat are the only legitimate candidates to be picked that high and likely none of them will be available at the 9th pick.  Any other player on that list would be considered a major reach at that spot.

I would say Gary at 9 might be a reach, also Josh Allen is on there...

Allen, Sweat and Taylor unlikely to be left.  Oliver - maybe available and would for sure be the pick among that list, though I’m not completely sold on him.

They’ve got to look up above and down below their natural #9 slot. They have to be prepared when they call, or when their phone rings to make a deal either going up, or moving back. Knowing what kind of athletes are available will help them with their calculus for possible trades. 

 

Nothing out out of the ordinary here. It’s a business being run by businessmen. Finally.

There are plenty of people who think Gary is a top ten pick.  He is kind of a roll the dice pick in the top ten though.

I don't disagree, he is like a 7-12 guy to me TBH.

Beane said that visit are done when they feel they need another look.

Metcalf if a legitimate candidate, even though people don’t want to believe it.

This reaffirms my belief they will not take a TE at 9. Thank goodness.

 

You should be safe, it looks like they’re focusing on mid round TEs.
