MTLBills Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 10 hours ago, HappyDays said: Joe Marino of the locked on Bills podcast thinks he is the best pass rusher in the draft. But I would be surprised if he goes top 10. Maybe if we trade down I could see us taking him. I believe he also said that he is ideal as 3-4 OLB and not somebody he thinks the Bills would target, given their propensity for more "prototype" bodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm a big Burns fan. Natural pass rusher with ELITE bend. I'm not concerned about his weight, I don't see him getting pushed around on tape. Plays with his hand in the dirt, unlike some of the other rush guys. I think he's right up there with Allen and Bosa. His tape is way better than Sweat, IMO. I'd be happy with Burns at 9. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 https://www.cover1.net/2019-nfl-draft-buffalo-bills-brian-burns/ The 2019 NFL Draft is less than one month away, and the Buffalo Bills could go in a variety of directions with their No. 9 overall pick. The team did a great job plugging holes throughout the roster at key positions during free agency, which gives Buffalo the flexibility to select the best available player with each of their 10 draft picks. Most mock drafts following the Bills’ active approach to free agency have the team selecting players like Alabama’s offensive tackle, Jonah Williams, Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver, and Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, among others. But one player that hasn’t been linked to Buffalo very often, and one who probably should be, is Florida State’s dynamic edge rusher, Brian Burns. Brian Burns is a long, athletic pass rusher who stands 6-foot-5 and 249-pounds. He improved in each of his three seasons with the Seminoles, finishing his career with 123 tackles, 38.5 tackles for loss, 23 sacks, seven forced fumbles, and seven pass breakups in 33 games. The former five-star recruit out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida’s American Heritage High School was named All-ACC after racking up 52 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, three forced fumbles, and three pass breakups in 13 games during his junior season, his last at Florida State. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I think LJ Collier (DE) TCU, and Burns both have the potential to be the best Edge rushers from this draft. Bucky Brooks of NFL Network stated he believes in a few years Collier will be the best of the bunch. That said, at #9, you take a "can't-miss" guy. Well, someone who is projected as can't miss. If Oliver is there, you take him. If Williams is there, same. Or, if a projected can't-miss is gone, trade down, get Burns, and Collier since you now have extra picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just crazy to me how a negative opinion of someone can shape an entire false narrative of various details about that person. I'm so happy with Beane, and he seems like the hardest working GM we've had, but Whaley was on the road scouting, probably, the MOST out of our GMs. The OP mentioned that Beaner always seems to be on the road, it just didn't seem that way to me with Whaley. I'm sure he did, but look at the drafts he conducted. Not one star player in 4 years. Outside of Woods you can argue he never even hit a top 20 positional player. And most of his picks aren't even in the league. How many got second contracts. Thats horrible compared to Beaner's drafts. If this is what relentless on the road gets you, then he should have stayed home. 2016 1 Shaq Lawson 19 DE 2018 0 0 1 9 35 10.0 Clemson 2016 2 Reggie Ragland 41 ILB 2018 0 0 1 11 28 1 0.5 Alabama 2016 3 Adolphus Washington 80 DT 2018 0 0 1 9 35 4.5 Ohio St. 2016 4 Cardale Jones 139 QB 2016 0 0 0 0 1 6 11 96 0 1 1 -1 0 Ohio St. 2016 5 Jonathan Williams 156 RB 2018 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 0 0 0 30 94 1 2 1 0 Arkansas 2016 6 Kolby Listenbee 192 WR 0 0 0 TCU 2016 6 Kevon Seymour 218 CB 2017 0 0 0 3 31 USC Year Rnd Player Pick Pos To AP1 PB St CarAV G Cmp Att Yds TD Int Att Yds TD Rec Yds TD Int Sk College/Univ 2015 2 Ronald Darby 50 CB 2018 0 0 3 16 46 6 Florida St. 2015 3 John Miller 81 G 2018 0 0 3 19 47 Louisville 2015 5 Karlos Williams 155 RB 2015 0 0 0 4 11 93 517 7 11 96 2 Florida St. 2015 6 Tony Steward 188 OLB 2015 0 0 0 1 7 Clemson 2015 6 Nick O'Leary 194 TE 2018 0 0 0 5 47 40 559 3 Florida St. 2015 7 Dezmin Lewis 234 WR 2016 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 Central Arkansas Year Rnd Player Pick Pos To AP1 PB St CarAV G Cmp Att Yds TD Int Att Yds TD Rec Yds TD Int Sk College/Univ 2014 1 Sammy Watkins 4 WR 2018 0 0 5 30 62 8 61 0 232 3571 28 Clemson 2014 2 Cyrus Kouandjio 44 T 2018 0 0 0 7 30 Alabama 2014 3 Preston Brown 73 LB 2018 0 0 4 31 71 5 1.0 Louisville 2014 4 Ross Cockrell 109 DB 2017 0 0 1 14 54 5 Duke 2014 5 Cyril Richardson 153 G 2014 0 0 0 2 12 Baylor 2014 7 Randell Johnson 221 LB 2016 0 0 0 2 16 Florida Atlantic 2014 7 Seantrel Henderson 237 OL 2018 0 0 2 14 35 Miami (FL) Year Rnd Player Pick Pos To AP1 PB St CarAV G Cmp Att Yds TD Int Att Yds TD Rec Yds TD Int Sk College/Univ 2013 1 EJ Manuel 16 QB 2017 0 0 1 10 30 343 590 3767 20 16 96 339 4 Florida St. 2013 2 Robert Woods 41 WR 2018 0 0 6 38 85 25 191 1 345 4451 23 USC 2013 2 Kiko Alonso 46 LB 2018 0 0 4 30 73 10 3.0 Oregon 2013 3 Marquise Goodwin 78 WR 2018 0 0 3 16 66 14 74 0 128 2137 12 Texas 2013 4 Duke Williams 105 DB 2016 0 0 0 8 58 1 1.0 Nevada 2013 5 Jonathan Meeks 143 DB 2016 0 0 0 2 38 Clemson 2013 6 Dustin Hopkins 177 K 2018 0 0 4 11 55 Florida St. 2013 7 Chris Gragg 222 TE 2015 0 0 0 1 32 24 251 2 Arkansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
