DCOrange Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Last year, I provided a lot of data regarding the QB class given the obvious need that Buffalo had there. This year, I've continued to do some scouting of the QBs for historical purposes, but have focused more time and effort on the RBs and WRs. I put together a FanPost over on Rumblings to kinda break things down. I did not provide my own conclusions in the OP, instead letting people draw their own conclusions rather than potentially influencing people's opinions with my own, but I'm happy to discuss them throughout this thread/answer any questions that people have about it. Here's the link, hope you enjoy! https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2019/3/19/18272847/wr-amp-rb-prospects-pff-breakdown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I real feel that RB is in the draft plan if one is available at the right time. I see Ivory being the odd man out. What are your thought on Montgomery or Henderson using a 3rd. Would moving up to get Montgomery/Henderson be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’d be an acceptable choice at 40 or possibly a trade down from there if we’re lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessAccepted Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks for putting the info together. Interesting reading. I'm really hoping they take Love in the 3rd or 4th round. With McCoy and Gore we have time to let him get healthy. The guy was a 1st rounder before the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the view that 10 rookies being drafted will be a waste because I feel the roster has improved and only 5 or so will make the team. I guess that instead of a 2nd round trade down I'm in favor or a 3rd round trade up using some of the lower picks to move up. Thanks again for your work!

I expect that Beane agrees with you and will trade up somewhere to consolidate picks a bit. I personally feel the opposite. There’s so much uncertainty in the draft that I’d rather just accumulate more picks to have more chances at success. But yeah, I fully expect Beane to trade up once or twice in this draft. Or if he doesn’t, I expect him to trade picks in this year’s draft for future picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It's not easy to draw a lot of firm conclusions about players, but there are a few. For instance, you don't want to draft Devin Singletary with the idea of using him in the passing game. LOL Kelvin Harmon is another player who has a disturbing drop percentage. I was not a fan of his to begin with, and this certainly didn't elevate him in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about 13 total receptions on deep balls, so adding or subtracting one more drop is like a 7-8% swing in either direction. His drop rate in general is 4.7%, which is actually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Need to keep them above 30. Keeping Chris Ivory wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us drafting Damien Harris in Round 2 to replace Ivory this year and potentially Gore in 2020 and then Shady in 2021.
