Also I really don't think the Bills will add a WR until later.

& that will be a mistake... I just started warming up to McBeane...I pray they don't add to my ish list! ?

 

That can't ignore Josh Allen... he needs weapons... Beasley & John Brown doesn't scare anyone

Frankly I don’t think DK would scare anyone either. He’s a poor route runner, doesn’t high point the ball and has long injury history. I’m a huge Ole Miss fan and I couldn’t believe people were talking about him as a first or second round pick. He’s just a physical specimen which is what a lot of people are enamored with

[TonyBeets]

I take is Yav is the cool guy on these boards?? ?

[BuffaloHokie13]

Well, my mock this year was about the same as last year. 4 exact matches, 22 correct first round players, 11 correct player team pairings. But one of my exact matches was the Pats* taking N'Keal Harry.

 

I thought DK would be gone too, but considering some of the crazy things that went on last night and who is still available I'm pretty excited for tonight!

OK is the key word. If we went into the season today as is, it's already better than last year with the additions they made. 

 

They can add more talent for sure but at least they are trying to get better players.

You do realize this is not 2018 and this 2019 and we have plenty of improvements at the position via 2019 FA, with plenty of WR talent left on the draft board

DK not going in the first isn't a surprise to some of us. He runs 1 route and has questionable hands. In the pros he's going to get jammed at the line and taken out of the play. He's too much of a project for the 1st round. Harry is a much better route runner right now and the most complete WR of all the WR in the draft. DK was the 2nd best WR on his team. Could he develop into a great player? Sure but you don't waste a first round pick on a maybe.

This, and his speed, were DKs biggest strengths coming out.  If he fails, it will not be because he got jammed at the line.

if you think getting jammed in college is the same as getting jammed in the pros you're wrong, dudes gonna be popped really good at the line in the pros and he's gonna have a problem recovering. Again he's not falling in the draft, he's just been evaluated differently by pro scouts and GMs than the talking heads on TV.

I was just thinking that as I read it.  He might even be the least susceptible WR to jams in the whole draft.

I mean that's true, but the fact that the pros is different than college is true of every skill.  I guess I don't know what he will be in the NFL, but that fact that he wasn't jammed in college is the strongest indicator he won't be jammed in the NFL.

Please tell me what defensive back is jamming DK at the line. 

 

He's certainly overhyped, but let's not make up stuff.  I'd take him in a split second at 40. 

 

New England took Harry, who is a way better fit in their possession offense.  If we take DK, I could say the same about us in getting weapons that fit Allen's strengths.

Well, Harry was the last pick in the 1st and he went to NE. I expected him to go to Baltimore but he was still a first round pick. I've been saying it all along. Where are all the nay-sayers now?

2nd WR taken and he was a FIRST ROUND pick. What you say now?

I want to know where all those people that kept telling me Harry was a 2nd or 3rd round pick and not that high on many "Exepert" boards.

I'm here for my props. 

 

This might be the pettiest and saddest thing I've ever seen on the internet. 

 

Good for you @Yav congrats on getting those props for sort of being right on the order in which wide receivers were taken in the draft.

I might run through glass sliding door in excitement if we get DK at 40.

 

I will own that I was pretty certain he and Harry would be first round picks.  I wasn’t surprised to see DK slide a bit with so many defensive and OL guys out there, but didn’t expect him to make it to round 2.  I’m happy to be wrong about that, especially if it means we got Oliver and Metcalf

 

I love Ed Oliver pick.  I said many times I wasn’t convinced he would be the pick or would even make it to us, but definitely love the pick.  Was never against taking him, he’s a beast.  The big thing I did NOT want to do was trade up for Oliver, and this now is EXACTLY why.  There will be an excellent prospect on the board at 40, and just didn’t want to lose this pick to get Oliver when we could get Simmons or Wilkins without trading up, even maybe in a trade down.  

 

But getting Oliver at 9 was sweet and now we are going to get another great pick at 40.  Wouldn’t surprise me to see them trade up here if there is a guy they covet, but most likely stay at 40 with so many exciting guys still there.

 

I still expect Beane to be aggressive with all these picks, so I am hoping and thinking Beane is going to trade up and get an additional 2nd round pick at some point.  Thinking guys like Ford, Metcalf (or other WR), Risner, Ferguson, Sanders, Irv Smith, are all going to be potential targets here in 2nd.

Hahahaha.  Nice one!

 

I was right about Harry being a first rounder too...but wrong in Metcalf being a first rounder Ha! I was right about Ford going in the 2nd, but wrong about the surprise pick at 4 which I thought was going to be either Jacobs and Lock.  Lol.  

 

Anyone claiming kudos on any pick this year while not acknowledging all the stuff they were wrong about is a bit silly.  No one knew anything this draft, some guessed right here or there and wrong here or there.

 

Lets go Bills!!!!

Sherman for one would toss DK on his keister and jamming doesn't require a physically imposing db, you can simply pop him quickly and a veteran DB and back pedal and get into position quick, and again timing is off and recovery isn't DK's strength as indicated by him struggling in the cone drill. 

 

How does DK fit Allens strength? He can run in one direction and isn't a 50/50 guy. I like Allen but lets be honest he's not the most accurate passer and the Bills already have Brown (who is better than DK) and Foster for deep routes, so again, how does DK fit? The Bills could use a possession guy but they have the kid from the CFL and Jones is still on the team along with Beas. I'm not saying the WR core is set but lets not kid ourselves and act like DK is the perfect system guy for the Bills. 

 

As for Harry, he does it all, he can go deep and runs all the routes along with the 50/50 catch and is willing to block. Harry can fit in many systems.

The problem is, people on this board latch on and flame people for being wrong all the time, they copy and paste things in their sigs and love to keep bringing it up. Had Harry not been drafted in the first round those same people would be on here flaming me.

 

I've been saying all along that Harry would be a first round pick and that DK wouldn't be picked in the first. Yes I also said Harry would be the first WR taken and honestly thought Baltimore was going to be team to select him. They went with a WR just not Harry. I stated multiple times Harry would not be there in the 2nd and he's not.

The cone drill evaluates 90+ degree movements at speed. Recovery is far closer measured by explosion: worth reading.  

 

"D.K. Metcalf's 10-yard split of his 4.33-second 40-yard dash clocked in at 1.45 seconds. This is the fastest 10-split by any combine runner in my database (starting in 2003). For some context, this is faster than Julio Jones' 1.50 10-yard split and 4.42 second 40-yard dash and they are similar heights: Metcalf checked in at 6-3 3/8 and 228 pounds, while Jones was 6-2 3/4 and 220 pounds."

And just a personal suggestion -- anyone flaming anyone for something this petty, especially when its concerning something as random and unpredictable as the NFL draft should be roundly ignored, not catered to. 

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're a younger guy, but just know that I don't know one grown adult who would "flame you" for having an opinion on a college football player, and I certainly don't know one who would come back weeks later to gloat about something so arbitrary and random. 

 

Just food for thought.

Right! Like don't get me wrong...I'm happy we upgraded... but let's be honest, John Brown & Beasley didn't scare anyone on the Cards, Ravens & Cowboys... it just shows how bad our WR corps was. 

 

If the Cowboys felt Beasley was a strong enough threat, they wouldn't have gave up their 1st for Cooper.  Can we have a Cooper to go with Beasley??? Why do we always have to settle for the mediocre group?

No he's not...stop listening to the wrong people.

 

He can run the routes needed for his position... No he's not going to run the Edelman & Beasley routes... but neither can Julio, AJ Green, Keenan Allen, Mike Evan's, Alshon Jeffrey... it's rare you get the big tall guy's that can run routes like Larry Fitz & Thielen. 

 

But that doesn't mean guy's like Mike Evans can't find a way to be productive in the league... you have more than just Go routes... DK can run the deep post, In, Outs & slants... we don't need him running curl routes smh 

[Solomon Grundy]

Will the Niners screw us?

[dayman]

Now I want him and would move to get him.

[Nelius]

Absolutely, I'm shocked that he's still available. Definitely worth it now. Got to imagine it's soon with Brown off the board.

[BigDingus]

Never thought his production warranted being a first round pick like so many were projecting, but to see him still on the board now is kind of curious.

It might be a work ethic/attitude thing or something, as most teams would normally be thrilled to snag a WR this athletic & with so much potential at this point in the draft, yet they're not biting. 

[Alphadawg7]

Please go get Metcalf!!!  Love a kid with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove!!!

[Aross3415]

Buffalo needs to move up now and get him!! This would be an amazing draft to get 3 first round talents.. I would be fine with only having those 3 picks if we could get him!

After looking at that picture of him without his shirt on at the draft, the more and more I think this guy has got David Boston written all over him

He’s being passed over by numerous teams for a reason

I would not mind him in the 3rd he does have upside 

[Ohiostyle]

It really does make sense to go grab him now. More upside than a 3rd rounder typically has. You've already addressed the glaring needs. Go make it happen.
