Allbright's mock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Allbright predicts Christian Wilkins. I am in agreement, as I mentioned yesterday. Doesn't take into account who I WANT, but that's who I think it'll be. I also think it's possible that Hockenson is still on the board and Bills pass on him for Wilkins. A certain segment of Bills Mafia will be furious, but it's hard to argue with a d-lineman over a tight end.

If it actually fell this way, I wonder if Beane would try for Oliver over Wilkins...

Depends who they have rated higher and if the cost to move up outweighs the difference between the two. I would take Wilkins and not move up.

I doubt you will beat the package that the Lions will get from ATL who have a larger jump up.

Which is fine. I would not rule out the possibility that the Bills have Wilkins equal or higher on their board than Oliver

Peter Schrager 2019 NFL mock draft 3.0

 

PICK 9

 

BUF.png

Jonah Williams - OT

 

 

School: Alabama | Year: Junior 

Many have called Williams "the safest pick" in this entire draft. An absolute gamer who wants to play tackle at the next level but may make more sense as a guard. One of the most competitive players in this class, he'd immediately add toughness and smarts to the Bills' offensive attack.

NFL Rumors: Cardinals May Select Alabama DT Quinnen Williams With No. 1 Overall Pick

 

nfl-draft-rumors-news-updates

 

Here are the latest rumors surrounding the draft and news around the NFL.

 

2:20 p.m.

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim reportedly reached out to Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and informed him he's still a possibility to go first overall. (Ian Rapoport, NFL.com)

 

1:15 p.m.

Mississippi State pass-rusher Montez Sweat may have been misdiagnosed with a heart condition that has caused some teams to take him off the draft board. Sweat's heart wall was measured to be nearly 2.0 cm thick at the NFL combine, but experts are now saying his heart wall is 1.5 cm thick. That measurement would mean there is no risk for Sweat under the diagnosis. (Ian Rapoport, NFL.com)

 

12:15 p.m.

The Jets, Lions, Dolphins, Seahawks and Rams reportedly have interest in trading down in the first round of the NFL draft. (Tom Pelissero, NFL.com)

How can you take a player in the top ten who does not know how to run block? The audio says he's been working on getting his body in the right position and such. Seriously? He's just learning now? He didn't like football in high school? C'mon Buffalo, don't do it. Dillard is so not the guy. He has good feet and he's big. That guy is not a top ten pick. This is a guy who looks the part who wants to make a living. Don't do it.

1. What this top draft prospect loves about the Buffalo Bills

 

“The facilities are amazing, just to put that out there. Their facilities are top-notch,” said Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver according to Andy Young of Spectrum News.

 

“Their scheme is great and it fits me,” Oliver said. “They need a three-technique linemen and if it’s me that they call on then ‘hey I’m coming.’

 

Kyle Williams was great for them and I would like to watch his film and see how he lasted so long.

 

I think I can come in right away, step up to the plate, and play. They have a unique situation where a guy retired and they need someone to come in right away and play, that would be a blessing.”

LOL! 

 

You wouldn't take Ed Oliver, Jaylon Ferguson and Terry McLaurin with our first three picks?

I just really don't want to trade up for anything that isn't a QB.. I feel like that backfires far too often. 

 

Essentially trading our 2nd for their third and a Top 5 prospect in the class. I'd absolutely do that especially if we end up with Oliver, Ferguson and McLaurin by the end of Day 2.

I wouldn't either.

 

Oliver has serious concerns, Ferguson's a 6th rd talent at best and McLaurin is more of what we already have at wr. 

 

Hard pass.

EDIT: AND WE TRADED UP FOR OLIVER?!?!?!?!? FML, really glad Joey B ain't our GM...

I'm not as high on Oliver as others.  He's fast but in the NFL experienced offensive lineman are a different animal.  His arms are 31.5 long.  That's to short and makes it hard to get off blocks. He's also light which concerns me about playing the run. These factors must be taken into account if we're going to trade up. The only way beano should trade up is for can't miss prospect,  that's quinnen Williams. I'd be ok to move up for Williams.  I really like the idea of moving back a little and drafting Dexter Lawrence.

Bills pick 9 – Bills trade down to Redskins at pick 15, they receive a second round pick 46.

 

Bills pick 15 – Noah Fant, TE, Iowa – Bills want to build around Josh Allen and this is a way to do it. Hockenson goes early, and they want to add as many targets as they can for Allen. Fant is a guy that can spread the field and get open. Bills land an additional second round pick but they may not be done in round 1.

  •  

Bills trade pick 40 and pick 46 to move back into the first round trading with Oakland Raiders pick 24.

 

Bills pick 24 – Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson – Bills lost Kyle Williams and Christian Wilkins is a Sean McDermott guy. Many have the Bills selecting Ed Oliver, but I do not feel he is a guy that will get along very well with McDermott and company. Wilkins is a mover and a shaker and I feel he will dominate for the Bills next to Star and Harry for years.

 

Bills pick 74 – Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama – The Bills love mean and gritty lineman and this guy is the best one in the draft. He could go way higher than this pick, but I am going to stick to my guns and keep him to the Bills at pick 74. Bills like the kid and worked him out at his pro day.

 

Not a huge fan of trading down but I would be pleased with this scenario.

How could you not take Allen in that scenario. 

Agreed, I would be pissed.  Stay at 9 or trade down, then trade back into the first so perhaps you have two first rounders and second rounder.   I like Fergusan but McLaurin is nothing special.
