He does think they would take Oliver but do not think he will be there and doesn’t think they will trade up.

dlonce Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) The notion that anyone inside the Bills is going to allude to who they are drafting is absurd. Any name dropping at this point is fodder. Also, there’s no way the Bills are using 9 to draft Metcalf. How many guys had Edmunds going to the Bills last year? I’d say there’s a better chance the Bills trade up this year to get who they really desire. Allen was linked to the Bills though by many. Thursday can’t come quick enough.

YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 I personally think Jonah W is worth the 9th pick and Metcalf is a risk at 9. But there is a ton of smoke on metcalf to Bills.

But that is because of how many players I have 1st round grades on (16) and two fringe. So the bulk of talent in this draft is in the 2nd and 3rd IMO. So my strategy would be move down (maybe in increments) picking up 2nds and 3rds. Then take the player that has a 1st round grad at 15. Use the later picks and the newly acquired thirds to target specific players in the 2nd. But I hear were you are comin from, just would not be my strategy this year.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I really don't see the value, in this draft at least, to pick up a 2nd for moving from the 12-15 range to 9. Honestly, it might net us a 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wo-Bah Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'd be more on board with Williams at 9, but like others, I don't think he falls that far. If we're high on Metcalf, I would prefer a trade-back. I just don't see him as I top 10 pick. Just me, though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan1959 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 OL at 9 wouldn't bother me. Perhaps the quickest path to improving Allen's play and taking advantage of his strengths is to build a strong offensive line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Not gonna lie... I'm kind of warming up to the idea of Metcalf in the 1st, Risner in the 2nd and a Tight End in the 3rd, then go Defense in the middle rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Would love for Metcalf to be the pick. We'll see. Ultimately I think it's him, Wilkins, Burns, or Gary. I think the relative lack of smoke around DK given the Bills WR need and Beane's draft tendencies is interesting to me.

I believe Metcalf is an option based on how Beane handled last year. He swung for the fences twice in the first. He took raw players with huge ceilings and pretty low floors. Metcalf is that player in this draft. I feel like Jonah is the exact opposite. He’s a safe player that will be good but never great. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s fair to presume that the Bills really like Metcalf. It’s also fair to presume that if a few of these guys were there at 9, he wouldn’t be the pick there because Oliver or Jonah (or others) would be higher on their board overall. But that if they got a great offer to move down, perhaps NYG or Redskins who need a QB, he could be their BPA there, at 15 or 17. I could also see them trading back into the 1st for him. I am starting to believe that they really want him. I’m less convinced he would be their BPA at 9. Edited April 22, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And these OL can be had in both the 2nd-4th rounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
