Toledo Bill Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Curious what people think would happen after we made all the recent moves to upgrade the wide receivers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StHustle Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 According to Beane we STILL draft him, and I'd be all for it. Beane has repeatedly stated that drafting for need is a BIG mistake. He said you should ALWAYS go BPA. I want him to stick with his plan. I believe in his plan and his philosophies. If it's Metcalf then Metcalf it is.

teef Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 if he's bpa, you take him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordong Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 if he is the top guy on the board you draft him.... Just like any other position. You don't pass on the best player at the top of the draft board, that's how you turn into the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns for all those years.

Stank_Nasty Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 very simple... take him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don’t think the WR signings preclude Buffalo from taking a WR. I actually think it’s a better situation to draft a WR now than prior to the FA signings. Now he can come in and ease into the lineup. Take a year or two to fully gain the number one receiver role (unless he blows you away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Survivor Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Simple, you take him. However, the concerns about his agility numbers and their impact on his ability to separate at the next level make me doubt he should be taken over defensive studs like Williams, Allen, Oliver, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 He would be a nice security blanket for Josh, just don't know if he'll be the best talent on the board at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I think it's a moot point. He won't be BPA at 9. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 IF....he is BPA, take him. I highly doubt he is, and pray he's not, but if he is I trust McBeane. I'd really prefer a penetrating DT or Edge at 9 overall. Think there will be one at 9 that grades out higher than Metcalf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessAccepted Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If he's BPA at 9 it means about 10 players dropped out of the draft to pursue other opportunities. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, like Josh, if we were to take him he’s our guy and I’ll hope for the best. But I’d be skeptical..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 All that matters is how the Bills board is set up. We won’t know if he’s “their” BPA when pick 9 comes up, if he’s still available. If they pass on him, it means he wasn’t and they had another player rated higher . It doesn’t mean they felt they didn’t need another WR.

DCOrange Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don't think he'll be IMO the BPA at #9, but I do have him like #6 or 7 on my big board so he could be. These FA signings should have zero impact on our willingness to draft him. If they're as high on him as I am, he could be the best WR on this roster from Day 1 with a far higher ceiling than any of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Well, for that to be the case the argument would have to be that Metcalf is at least the 9th best player in the draft... That seems like a stretch to me. Bosa Williams Allen Oliver Hockenson J. Williams Burns Sweat Taylor They are all guys I think are overall better than him... Another thing on this note is that drafting BPA over need does not eliminate the reality of positional worth- that becomes a factor of the overall player ranking. So if you had a ranking system wherein a perfect 10 is Hall of Fame, and you have a tackle who is a 9.0, I think the argument can be made that he is still the "best player available" over a 9.5 receiver simply because the value of a tackle over that of a receiver can bridge that .5 gap.

Watkins90 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 BPA doesn't mean you actually take the BPA. BPA just means you don't reach for a WR or a OT because that is your greatest need. If you don't want a WR you can look at the second highest guy on the board and if his grade is very close and maybe fills a spot you take that guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
