Just seems more likely Beane will stay put here, plus someone needs to covet a player to trade up with us. Not sure who is on the board that a team feels the need to give up picks thats also close enough to our draft slot to consider another trade back. But hey, Beane loves value, so its always a possibility if the right offer is made of course. Anyone interested in Hockenson, Fant, Simmons should be thinking about offering the Bills picks. Carolina could be looking anywhere. Truly BPA. Giants could go anywhere as well. Less likely for a TE but DT, DE, OL. And Minn needs just about anything as well.

Logic Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 What I have learned from Virgil's mock drafts: The will of TSW's populous, if Quinnen Williams and Ed Oliver are not on the board, is overwhelmingly in favor of drafting TJ Hockenson. It's pretty darn clear at this point. Given that the Bills have literally NEVER had a truly dominant tight end, and given how much a great tight end helps a young QB, and given that we all just watched Gronk dominate the Bills for a whole decade...I can't say I blame 'em. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched some tape and didnt see anything that says 1st overall. If Rosen was in this draft I believe he would be the first QB off the board. I’m with you regarding Rosen. I really have no idea which I’d prefer though. While I don’t love Murray, there’s a lot to love. His arm talent is underrated and his legs are among the best ever. His physique is thick and he doesn’t take big hits. I think he has a real shot to be special. He came out of nowhere to win the heisman and completely has the “it” factor, minus his communication skills (the little that I’ve seen. if you’d be happy with Carr, you’d be fired within 5 years, unless you were on the Bengals. You’d buy yourself an extra 5 years because average is just fine for the Bengals. Enjoy watching Carr have an Andy Dalton type career. Too good to push you to replace him quickly. While not good enough to win you a super bowl....or a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hock is not a sexy pick anymore but a good value at 15. Need best DE/DL available with next pick. IF he becomes a stud TE like Kelce/Gronk/Ertz we would love this pick for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkep32 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 With All this trade back talk, you have to realize you need a team to want to move up. We cant force a trade b/c we said so in a poll. If there were offers then that should be up on the poll not just trade back. But at this spot I would say hock or Simmons and it looks like hock.

YoloinOhio Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I had no idea i was involved in this mock until I saw my name. One moment please.

I really like Daniel Jeremiah's stuff and thoughts and I keep coming back to him having Hockenson as like the 4th or 5th best player in this draft. I think, if he went back to Iowa, he would definitely be a top ten player next year. I think he's a top ten player this year. If he turns out to be one of those guys, it will definitely be the sexiest of picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My irrational fear is that I keep flashing back to Maxx Williams when he came out and how many people seemed to love him. I am hoping that if we draft Hock in the 1st round, he is the real deal because I have always wanted the Bills to have a legitimate #1 TE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also funny you didn't know you were in the draft. 10 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: I actually think they would go Dillard over Taylor personally. Either is great value at 15, but I suspect Bills have more interest in Dillard. All that being said, some real tough choices here. Hockenson is a great value here, but I suspect Bills are not going to go TE as early as some of us have been thinking. Its a pretty deep class and all the TE prospects they have been linked to or showed interest are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round guys. Kroft is a good blocker, so they may look to find value later in a deep TE draft full of guys who have some playmaking skills. Simmons is a top 5 talent sitting there...Beane loves value, he will be hard to pass. I am pretty high on Harry, so I think he would get some consideration here if Beane is sold on him. Bills sitting in good situation here. I seriously doubt Josh Jacobs or Marquise Brown have any shot at being selected here by the Bills though, but I get why they are a choice in the poll. I'd agree with this. I think the Bills here would go Dillard (best pass blocker in the draft); Simmons (tremendous value, and then get a DL such as Wise or Slayton later); then Hock. I envision the Bills going TE and WR later in the draft. Both are very deep. There is no one near Dillard in the 2nd round, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settling for QBs that might be able to get you into the playoffs is the worst thing you can do. Be the Bengals with Andy dalton. So JP Losman and EJ were acceptable in your eyes. You take the guy that has the potential. Mighty mouse does not IMO. I used to think EJs fall was the result of coaching decisions but came to realize as I watched Allen and Mayfield last season that EJ was missing the intangibles. Leadership and the will to win are very big in team sports. Allen never had to answer questions about wether he was a leader because it was there to see. Every guy that says they lead in different ways and by example has failed. EJ said that and Murray says that. Look how vocal Allen, Mahomes and Mayfield are. Carr is at least a vocal leader. Brady is definitely that. Murray is not going to be as good as Carr. If I had to take one of the QBs this year it would be Lock. If Oakland took Murray and I was The NYG Im offering a 2nd or 3rd for Carr without hesitation and laughing all the way to the bank.
