TheBeane Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Sorry to everyone, especially to @Virgil!!!! I spent the weekend in the hospital with a family member and completely forgot about the draft starting on Sunday. Everyone is now OK and home, but was a little touch and go for a while. Hope I can make it up to everyone on the 2nd go around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan1988 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Yes we got Hock baby! . Now let's hope either Tillery or Simmons fall to #40 or we could trade up for one of them at the right time. I'm just practicing my reaction ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I picked Sweat. He has incredible speed for an edge rusher and I see him wrecking havoc. I like Hock, since he is as well-rounded TE as you could hope to find. I just don't value the TE position as high as a game-changing edge rusher. Sweat is my guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I like Hockenson as a prospect but it's disturbing to me that so many people are willing to overdraft him at #9. Look at the list of TEs drafted since 2009. There are some very good names but the highest drafted were Eric Ebron (#10 in 2014) & O.J. Howard (#19 in 2017). Ebron was a reach and a borderline bust (until last year) at #10. Howard was very good value at #19, IMO. Notice no Gronk (RD 2), Ertz (RD 2), or Kelce (RD 3). If Hockenson turns out to be half the players those guys are, the Bills would be fortunate. The 2017 draft was a good one for TEs. Besides Howard, it produced some very good up-and-coming, potential stars and none of them were taken higher than #19: Evan Engram (#23 NYG, RD 1), David Njoku (#29 CLE, RD 1), and George Kittle (#146 SF, RD 5). The board got this one wrong, IMO. Color me surprised if the Bills actually pull the trigger on Hockenson that high. History (theirs and league), suggests otherwise. Interesting to me in the list below is that 4 of the first 10 TEs taken in the last 10 years were by perennial 'also-rans' Detroit and Cincinnati. Baltimore has also attempted to get their guy twice but not any higher than #25. FWIW, my choice was Sweat. That may not be wise either, who knows. I just don't think that TE is the right value at #9. We'll see. The 1st TE taken in each draft since 2009: 2018: Hayden Hurst (#25 BAL, RD 1) 2017: O.J. Howard (#19 TB, RD 1) 2016: Hunter Henry (#35 LAC, RD 2) 2015: Maxx Williams (#55 BAL, RD 2) 2014: Eric Ebron (#10 DET, RD 1) 2013: Tyler Eifert (#21 CIN, RD 1) 2012: Coby Fleener (#34 IND, RD 2) 2011: Kyle Rudolph (#43 MIN, RD 2) 2010: Jermaine Gresham (#21 CIN, RD 1)) 2009: Brandon Pettigrew (#20 DET, RD 1) http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?position=TE&type=position Edited April 8, 2019 by ExWNYer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Goat Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 With the 10th pick, the Denver Broncos select Devin Bush, LB, Michigan. The Cincinnati Bengals (@TOboy) are now on the clock. Why? I went QB, but of the defense. Bush has been flying up draft boards since his stellar combine. Denver's biggest hole on defense is a playmaker up the middle. He was a leader at Michigan, and a freakishly athletic, physical force on D. He gets knocked for his size, but he's only an inch shorter and a few pounds lighter than Devin White. I know, I know -- "Elway loves Lock." Those rumors have seemed a little too frequent and convenient. The Paxton Lynch fiasco taught them a thing or two about reaching for a QB. I think they'll wait and see what they have in Flacco for a year and address QB in 2020, in a deeper class. For the record, I'm a Mizzou alum and I don't think Lock should be a first-rounder, let alone a top-10 pick. I do; however, think someone will trade up to draft him well before #10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOboy Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 With the 11th pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select Greedy Williams, CB, LSU. Our sites were firmly on the 2 MLB's (White and Bush), but with both off the board, we're taking another crack at a first round CB, because that's what Bengals do. @aristocrat you are now on the board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 With the 12th pick in the 2019 NFL draft the Green Bay Packers select Noah Fant, Tight End, Iowa. We considered Clelln Ferrell but ultimately decided Arod needed another weapon and the best player on the board offensively was Fant who will pair up with Jimmy Graham and with that sub 4.5 speed will line up all over and create mismatches. @BillfromNYC and the terrible awful Miami Dolphins are on the clock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijah Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Would there be interest to do this, except forum wide? Every pick would be a poll of some of the available players that make sense rather than the team being ran by one member. Each poll would be decided after 4 hours?

Bill from NYC Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 With the 13th selection, I will surprise you all lol and select Jonah Williams - OT - from the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. Although I think that he can play tackle, I project him to LG, and a great one at that. My biggest influence in making this selection was the "Tanking for Tua" factor. The year before the Colts got Peyton Manning, they drafted Tarik Glenn and Adam Meadows at #1 and #2. Miami, imo, will be lucky to win 3 games next season. Might as well bolster the offensive line. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what I think the Dolphins will do Bill. Whether it is Jonah, or Cody Ford or Dillard.... they will take a blocker in anticipation of taking a QB next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have(S holmes Polamalu) , but not recently. I think they were disappointed when the deal with the Bills for AB and the swap of firsts fell through. With Ben's time running out and a hole in the middle of their defense it will be interesting to see if Colbert does something. Low possibility they will come up, granted, but you never know.

whatdrought Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 With the 14th pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons select, Montez Sweat, DE, Mississippi St. The Skins and @Wsam4031 are on the clock. Justification: I thought of Christian Wilkins here, but felt that Sweat was a better value. Our defense will be in much better shape next year if we can get our guys back from injury. Pass rush will help us get back up to speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have big holes at LB, and there's a substantial drop in talent at the position after Bush. I think we're in great shape at #9! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) This draft is showing how good a trade down would be. Still on the board are Clelin Ferrel and Chrsitian Wilkins for those of you that favor D line. Your pick of any wr if you want to go that route. Or Dillard if you thought O-line was the biggest need.

I'm hoping Wilkins falls to the Chargers, for whom I'm picking, a bit later in the draft. The Chargers are weird because they could go about five different directions with the pick, including drafting an heir apparent for Philip Rivers. Picks seem to be moving faster today.

Looking forward to my turn! Everyone is back to work so they have nothing better to do . Patriots at 32 (whom I have) will almost assuredly trade down. Some team will want a QB that slid and trade with them to get that 5th year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
