FearLess Price Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I def agree. We are going dt in the 1st more than likely. One of the top 3 dts will b there. If not theyll go bpa. We got a top paid C, now we need another og ot and dt er and wr. John Brown is cool but a WR in the 2nd or 3rd would be cool too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 9 hours ago, Jay_Fixit said: I think assuming what a team does based on a potential need is silly. Bills could very well draft a WR, DT, TE, T, CB etc. Depends on the board. Sure, but you can have different targets in different rounds. Maybe there’s a DT or two they’d love at 9, but they have contingency plans if they aren’t on the board. Second round or trade up from there.

IgotBILLStopay Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I agree that if we dont trade down, we are going DT at #9 - Quinnen Williams or Ed Oliver with Jeffrey Simmons having an outside chance. If we trade down, we may go TE (Fant) in round 1 and hope to get Jeffrey Simmons, Christian Wilkins or Dre'Mont Jones at #40.

JerseyBills Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don't see any alarming holes on defense. I think Beane has set up this roster so we can go bpa in the first 2 rds. Yes we could use a DT but I think we could see Shaq there full time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) One thing I’m sure of after all these FA signings is that the Bills will not be drafting 10 players this year. I think Beane will try to drop back 5-10 slots in the first to secure an extra second round pick, and then package later round picks to move up for more picks in rounds 2-4.

Space eater and A. Donald type. 6 hours ago, richardb1952 said: I'm thinking Oliver at 9 and Irv Smith Jr in second. Would not be surprised to see Devin White , Wilkins, Hockenson or Jacobs at 9 either. All Impact players. They are definitely in a position to get BPA at 9. I also think they are thin at LB and need 2 from draft or FA. totally agree with this. D. White would be a fantastic addition, or give us the ability to trade down with a team like the Steelers that needs him. With White, you are set at LB for 10 years. With Oliver, or Wilkins in a trade-down, you get an impact DT. And don't forget about Simmons, who could fall. I'd go TE in the 2nd or 3rd. Irv Smith would be a great addition that is a bit under the radar right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazeduck Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Given how many holes we've addressed... I wouldn't be altogether shocked if we tried to trade up for Quinnen Williams. Might just be my biases, but to me there's a lot of question marks around Oliver, Dre'Mont Jones, Wilkins and obviously Simmons is hurt... Williams is the cleanest prospect in the DT group by far...

If that group contains a DT, then it might be DT, if that group doesn't contain a DT then it won't be a DT.

maryland-bills-fan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I'm still thinking, based upon what they did last year, that they will go for the highest ceiling player available. This may not jive with what most people think of as the BPA. I think "BPA" has a lot of "BPA who can make an immediate impact as a rookie"- that is not the same thing. A plug-&-play guy might be an instant starter but never make the pro-bowl multiple years. We might even see a linebacker or safety taken and the guy (hopefully) might be a star for a decade, while the plug& play guy has faded away.

John from Riverside Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I think it is actually PROBABLE to go DT at 9 given the quality at the top of the draft....... Unless of course we trade down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It is said that Christian Wilkins, despite having elite athleticism, "plays every snap like he's an undrafted free agent trying to make the team", and that he is a culture-changing leader and alpha in the locker room. Also a prototypical 3T. Don't be shocked if he's the Bills' pick come April, whether after a trade-down or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Oliver too, but I seriously doubt Beane is trading up for anyone this time around. You never know, though. He moved up twice in round 1 last year, though I really don't think he needed to trade up to get Edmunds. He'd have been there a while longer, IMO.

What happened to Harrison Phillips and Star? Everyone loved them last year. Beane was a genius for drafting Kyle's replacement a year early and spending 10mil a year to fill the gap left by Dareus. by the way from Ledyard: "Route-Running - Let's talk about what is his fault: Metcalf needs to show better attention to detail in his patterns at times, breaking his routes off more exactly, showing a better awareness of the sideline and being more efficient with his footwork. Outside of his control however, is an Ole Miss offense that asked him to predominantly run hitches, curls, comebacks and nine routes, operating only on a vertical plane that made things very simple for defensive backs who had done their tape study. How Metcalf managed his production is a testament to his other-worldly talent in a scheme that didn't make things easy on him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think the reason they had him operate only on a vertical plane is that he lacks change of direction skills. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offense still doesn't have a legit X receiver. If anything, WR at 9 is looking more & more definite. It's not that many X WR's in the draft, maybe 4-5. I still think they go WR early. 1st or definitely 2nd. Unless DK is there or they trade back & get N'Keal Harry. It’s really deep.....character issues aside, Jerry Tillery is terrific. May drop to 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Just not sure what those issues were . I think Oliver is overrated. Edited March 13, 2019 by Spielman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Survivor Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I would take any one of Williams, Oliver, or Wilkins at 9. All three would fit in perfectly at 3-tech next to Star. If we trade back I am fine with taking Lawrence or Simmon in the late first. If Josh Allen or Montez Sweat are there at 9 they would be very tempting as well to add some explosiveness to our already-sturdy defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
