After the first 2 rounds (more likely round one) the draft is about development There were better picks where they took Knox, and that should be obvious...This kid is a project, at best.

Without terrible people, one's appreciation for great people diminishes. At least you serve a purpose, bringing appreciation for quality posters on this board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterStrategist Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Admittedly, I get really excited and think all of these draftees will turn out great for the Bills. Reality is, usually there's a reason a player doesn't get drafted immediately. BUT, those reasons are not all the same. As many have said, this kid is a real unknown to many scouts/fans, since Ole Miss didn't need/want to focus him in their offense. Can't blame Ole Miss, when you have that type of WR talent that they had. However, I know the former o-coordinator at Ole Miss (now NC) from a past experience, and he had some great things to say about Dawson. And I also know first hand that this offense (air raid) deployed a relatively simplistic route tree... not only for Dawson, but for DK too. Sounds like Dawson has a lot of untapped potential and could be a hidden gem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) When it comes to investing, I’m not opposed to index funds. When it comes to drafting, I’m not a fan of “mock draft averaging”. I want guys who can pick the better players. Scouts who can discern the physical abilities, the scheme limitations, surrounding talent implications, etc. I hope they saw what he CAN be, and acted on that. .

What was the trade compensation? I hate when people says "Did they need to trade up" They know more then you so obviously something made them trade up so the answer is always YES. 11 hours ago, #34fan said: You'd miss me too much, twinkletoes.

Your draft board might say something else but who gives a ***** who you think is better. I didn't hear you talking about scouting players all year.

I for one have completely given up on the Boroquez and other Bills WR's method of trying to catch with the back of your hands like a sea lion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about Chest Catchers, guys that wait for the ball to come to them are always garbage. Guys that instinctively put there hands out are already better b.c you cannot really teach that, either the player will do it or they never learn.

Oh I know, and I was just joking that some Bills don't even catch with their hands. Agree on Knox and that he catches with his hands out, maybe he can teach Zay a few things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Poster Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 On 4/27/2019 at 3:35 AM, Warcodered said: A tackle got taken two picks later by the Broncos who could of easily jumped us if we didn't move up. The problem is, there will inevitably be a better tackle taken later. You should never trade up for a non-QB. Better LB went after Edmunds, better lineman went after Dawkins, and better WR after Zay. Would Cody have fallen? Who knows. We lost a pick, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
