Just Joshin' Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Moving the Chains on NFL Radio had their annual fan draft today. There were some off the wall selections for the parts I was able to hear. Jason B picking for the Bills selected TJ Hockenson for the Bills with Oliver still on the board. I would be OK with Hockenson if the top 4 DL were off the board but would have selected Oliver. Good pick or bad pick by Jason B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Good but it would prefer a move back and pick up more picks and still get Hock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) If an Olineman and a WR had a baby it would give you Hockenson! Edited April 19, 2019 by DJB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don’t think you can go wrong with Hock. I think Fant will give you more of a take the league by storm (Shockey, Gronk, Gates) quality of play. Hock will give you Witten, Gonzo type. Both good in their own right. But Fant could be much more explosive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Not a good pick if you're passing on Ed Oliver. Josh Oliver and Dawson Knox later in the draft are worthy TE prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 My guess is the Bills draft Hockenson and then trade back into the 1st for a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta take Oliver over TJ if they're both there, but if there's a run on DL than run to the podium and get your stud TE.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awww, gotcha. Wasnt sure if it was one of the ones where they get a local sports writer like manish mehta or omar kelly. Whenever i hear or read those two they make me apprecoate sal and joe all the more. They have actual columns though but man... woof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I like Hock, but feel that we need DL more. Passing on Oliver would be a huge mistake IMO. The only reason to pass on Oliver is to trade down IMO. This is the deepest TE class I have ever seen. Dawson Knox in the 3rd sounds awesome to me. There is great TE value through round 4 WR looks nice in the 2nd round too- or later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhh....that makes sense. IMO, if you took Hock over Oliver, even as a GM, you would soon become just a fan. But what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest fear with Hock is these top 15 TEs never seem to live up to the hype. Edited April 20, 2019 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmenow Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I don’t see the bills taking a offensive player in the first pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlonce Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Bad pick. That guy must be on this board. I would be shocked if we picked the TE at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwell Tarly Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 9 is really high for a te.... Doesn't feel like a Beane move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Oliver over Hock all day. However, if the Bills did go offense in any capacity, I'd prefer Hock. Hock Jonah Taylor Metcalf Ford... in that order of which offensive player makes the most sense for Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA OC Bills Fan Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 For what it's worth, I was driving from around 3 to 7 PM Thursday listening to Sirius XM NFL radio, Pat Kirwin and Dave something (never heard Dave there before but I'm ever in my car at that time normally). Neither of them thought Hock would be there at 9. They thought Detroit would take him or someone would trade up ahead of Buffalo to take him. Dave thought if he was still there the Bill's should take him. Pat felt there's too many good TEs that will be available for the 2nd Bill's pick whereas the dline dropoff is much larger after the top few.

Hes a complete moron if he thinks the Bills leave Oliver on the board. Times like these show you how little the media actually knows of our FO and HC.

But I feel like Fants ceiling will be higher. Again, don’t get me wrong. I think they are both going to be really good in the NFL. And not taking anything away from guys like Ertz, Or Witten. We’d be thrilled if we got someone like that at TE. I just think Fant has the abilities to become Gronk, Shockey, or Gates in their primes. I’d rather take the upside myself but won’t complain about either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW82 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Is Hockerson not a big reach at 9? Someone please tell me we're moving back to pick up an extra first next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The Bills do not have a single skill position player on offense other than Allen, that has the potential to be a All-Pro type player or even a top 10 player at their position in the league. I would love Hock at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
