HOUSE Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) AP (AP Photo/Thomas Graning) By Ryan Talbot | rtalbot@nyup.com Draft season never disappoints when it comes to trying to figure out which prospect is most coveted by NFL teams. When it comes to the Buffalo Bills, a few names have been thrown out ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft. NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah recently said that Alabama offensive tackle Jonah Williams was somebody to watch at No. 9. Williams’ name gained steam when draft analyst Tony Pauline said it was a “three-horse race” for the Bills with Williams in contention with Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver and Washington State offensive tackle Andre Dillard. While all three players are legitimate options, Sports Illustrated’s Gary Gramling added a fourth name to the mix: Ole Miss WR D.K. Metcalf. In a recent MMQB Podcast, Gramling was doing a mock draft along with Andy Benoit when he made an interesting statement ahead of making his pick for Buffalo. “We are on to the Buffalo Bills. And I just want to say before we start, the Bills are taking D.K. Metcalf in the real draft. That’s all. That’s all I want to say.” https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/04/2019-nfl-draft-buffalo-bills-are-taking-dk-metcalf-says-sis-gary-gramling.html Edited April 17, 2019 by HOUSE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm higher on him than most so I'd be fine the pick. He was on his way to a great season his junior year before getting injured. Giving Josh Allen an athletic freak that's 6'3 225 lbs. who runs a 4.33 yard 40 seems like a good idea. He improved his 3 cone drill and 20 yard shuttle time at his pro day following the combine which everybody was freaking out about. He could be an absolute Julio Jones type stud for Josh Allen. Or he could be David Boston. Let's hope it's the former. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Meh, whatever. I'm hoping for Oliver or somehow Devin White falls into our lap. Whoever we take though, as long as it's not a Whitner over Ngata or Maybin over Orakpo scenario, I'm good. Stevie Wonder could see the Bills made mistakes with those two. Edit: The only person I would be maf about if we picked would be Rashan Gary. He's an underachieving workout warrior whom I think will be a bust in the NFL just like he was as a 5 Star recruit going into college.

Billsfansinceday1 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have heard more than one analyst compare him, or at least his potential, to Moss. I am comfortable trusting Beane’s due diligence. If it turns out to be Metcalf, so be it. But if it turns out to be Oliver or Hockenson zon, I will be a happy guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsredneck1 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 i don't get how anyone can think he has even half the talent obj has. a big no for me. why don't we trade next year's first and move up to make sure we get him? i can see brandon fist pumping all over again....

PIZ Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I didn't want the Bills to draft Josh Allen and I was so wrong about not wanting him. I don't want them to draft DK Metcalf, so they'll probably pick him too. I am trusting Beane on whomever he picks. 5 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Wow, I’ve seen several mocks where DK isn’t even a first round pick. This would be a massive reach in my opinion. No way he’s a top 10 pick. Trade back if this is the guy you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It would definitely be a bold stroke of the brush picking Metcalf at 9. His suspect hands and route running plus injury history don't justify the 9 spot. Raw talent, high ceiling no doubt. There are too many very good WR prospects to roll the dice on Metcalf at 9. If a receiver is the priority at 9 then Hockenson should be the pick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019...there is no such thing as a "Reach" anymore Gregg. If you like a guy at 18...you take him at 9! Trading within the draft isnt guaranteed... sometimes you can't find a trade partner. If you love a guy, you go get your guy... plain & simple.

But he's good... now nobody cares where he was took. Ward was a definite 1st rounder. He was in most people's 2nd batch of players (after the QBs and Chubb, Nelson, Barkley) and the consensus was he was in play anywhere from #8 with Chicago through to about #20 and Dallas. That said he did go earlier than people expected at #4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The Bills will be taking Oliver, if he is on the board, at 9 overall. There should be no doubt in anyones mind about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get it I don't get why some people fall in love with other prospects I think suck We aren't NFL scouts, we don't do this for a living, we just do it for fun Armchair GM's love to point out when they were right on a pick being a boom or a bust They also don't point out when they were incorrect on 15 other picks/free agents I'm guilty of it, we all are Real GM's and scouts don't have the luxury of hiding when they were incorrect The fact remains that even the best GMs are incorrect most of the time If they were always right then the top 10-15 players in every draft would go #1-15. Instead we have guys like Wilson dropping to the third, taken after guys like tj Graham, or teams trading down and passing on mahomes (I was high on him, but I also thought locker was going to be much better) Many scouts love dk many think he's not worth a top pick, but almost every one I've seen has him in the top 3 if the wr class, just depends how high they value the wr class as a whole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Zero chance Beane takes Metcalf. If you know the NFL and you follow the Bills you know we have 4 WR that have proven they can get separation and catch the ball. Foster and Beasley will be a top tandem this year. Nobody can cover those two guys. What we don't have is TE, Edge, IDL, LB depth etc. I think we will go big men in 1st and 2nd. My guess is D first if Oliver is there, then Risner in the 2nd, otherwise Jawaan OT then Tillery in the 2nd. We arent getting suckered into an injury prone, steroid guy like Metcalf to be our WR5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) A lot of the same people that KNEW josh Allen was the wrong pick will be popping up to say they KNOW this one won’t work out either. I always chuckle when people act like they “know” how a player is gonna turn out. IMO anyone with a level head can see that if the draft has taught us all one thing it’s that having strong opinions on players is usually a silly approach. FTR there are a couple others I would much rather have there, but i’d be fine with metcalf. Edited April 17, 2019 by Stank_Nasty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thinks DK absolutely CAN’T be the guy at 9 because Robert Foster and Cole Beasley, isn’t worth arguing with. The fact that those guys are among our top receivers (and I do like Foster, BTW) is why Metcalf has to be in play at 9.

Heavy Kevi Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I am not super high on Metcalf, but I have been believing he's the plan since we signed 2 pygmy WRs. Given Beanes propensity for physical prototypes, I can't imagine he would ignore it at WR. I believe he never would have signed Brown and Beasley unless he had a plan for somebody 12ft tall that runs 4 seconds flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
