I don’t fault BB for taking Ford. I will fault them for trying to keep him at RT. If a GM never selects an offensive guard in round 2...........well at least he never did THAT wrong. QB/PassRush/LT/WR1/CB1...........or trade out. Usually guards aplenty in FA.....sometimes healthy, prime age All Pros......let someone else develop your guards if you can't mine your own later in drafts. Those other positions? If they hit the market there is something wrong with them and even then they cost a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I voted Ford.....just because I’m tired of the Metcalf love and endless hindsight questioning. It’s over. I like our team. Zero question I take Oliver over over a WR of that caliber. Win on the LOS. Then build out. I’d rather look forward to the next draft, than back at previous drafts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how effective Metcalf would have been with an inexperienced QB. Easy for him to look good catching passes from Russell Wilson. And who would have been your RT once Ty got hurt? Bates. At that time they also had Waddle. No one projected he'd miss the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I live near Seattle. I see all the Seahawks games. D K Metcalfe would have helped the Bills. We should have picked him in the first round. Big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Waddle was out way before Ty got hurt and even before they signed Bates. Judging from the Jets game think the team would have been in much worse shape with Bates in there for 7 games was it?

BADOLBILZ Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 6 minutes ago, RobbRiddicksTDLeap said: Getting killed? Come on man, use some objectivity here. Metcalf is a good player too, both have made rookie mistakes, and both have made good plays. Without pass protection, Metcalf would be useless on any team. The Bills were not the only team with a need, that passed on him multiple times. There was a reason for that. One reason teams passed on Metcalf is because a lot of teams actually HAVE decent WR's. Cody Ford was still around for a reason too........and THAT wasn't because a lot of teams have good OL's. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Now if the Bills solve their WR problem and Ford turns into a decent G.......well then at least it will be better than the Troupe/Gronk decision.

I think he has played really well at RT, and if they decide move him to RG, I’m fine with that too. He’s a tough, powerful grinder. I like Metcalf, I didn’t think he was going to be as good as he has been this year. Honestly, Seattle was probably the best place for him. They have a tremendous S&C department there, and his biggest issue was agility. Having an MVP caliber QB has also been a huge part of his development. I have no issue with these picks. Either would have been a big piece for the future of the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Patriots, who had a need passed on him, and took Harry. The Ravens, Titans, and Niners, all took receivers NOT named D.K. Metcalf. Talent evaluators saw a lot they didn’t like in him, and Seattle took a swing and came away with a good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This is Beanes one glaring mistake so far in the draft. Nothing against Cody, but Metcalf is good and would of matched up well with Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 No brainer. Metcalfe already has outperformed his draft projection. His hands are better than advertised, and his size is great. If he'd been in Buffalo this season, we would have been spared a hundred Duke Williams threads, because Metcalfe would have playing and Brown and Beasley would have been fine. Hindsight is 20-20. Plus, Ford may well turn out to be a very good lineman for a long time. If you get a good player in the draft, it doesn't matter so much that you might have done better with someone else.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Metcalf ran stiff and upright during the predraft workouts and didn’t put a full route tree on film in college. He was a high upside projection that worked out. Ford showed heavy feet in college and appears to be a bit off-kilter mentally. I’d give him one year at guard and then cut bait if he doesn’t cut down on his mistakes. Wasted pick most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Should’ve been AJ Brown. I think Ford might end up good, but they could’ve signed another journeymen and gotten the same, if not better production. Definitely thought either AJ or DK would be a Buffalo Bill on draft day.
