As such, Matos should be the pick. 16 minutes ago, the skycap said: Is this a projection? Notice he's compared to Michael Thomas of the Saints. Laviska aligns at WR for the Buffalo spread offense From what I've seen I think Thomas is a bad comparison for Shenault. Thomas is long and lean and plays with a great catch radius, where as Shenault is built more like a big runningback. Shenault is somewhere around twenty pounds heavier than Thomas. When I watch Laviska I think his ceiling is more like Dez Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL-Bills Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If we stay at 22... Gross-Matos Ruggs (unlikely to be available) Epenesa (unlikely to be available) Simmons (unlikely to be available) Really, the only player I'm comfortable with that is somewhat likely to be available is Gross-Matos. I don't see Shenault or Higgins as guaranteed producers for us next year. They both need development time and I don't think that's something we can sign up for with our 1st pick. Gross Matos is ready to play as a technically sound run stopping DE, with sky high pass rush upside. He's the pick for me. If we trade up... There are only a few guys I'd trade up for. My number one choice would be CeeDee Lamb. If he falls beyond the Jets at 11, I think you look for Beane to make a move and get him. It won't cost as much as expected, as the move is only 10 slots maximum. My guess is swap 1sts and throw in our 3rd which I'd be happy to do. The other player I'd trade up for is Jeudy, but he'll be the first WR off the board and I honestly value Lamb higher. If we trade down... Would love to trade down into late first and pick up another 3rd, especially if Gross-Matos is off the board. If indeed we do trade down, Shenault/Higgins become far more likely (assuming they're available). Their upside would be hard to ignore in the late 20's, and the extra pick we acquire can be used to move up the board in the second (or package both 3's for an additional second) to fill other gaps. If my perfect world... 1(22) - Gross-Matos 2(54) - J. Jefferson or Tyler Johnson (my top 5 are Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs, Jefferson, Viska, Higgins, Tyler Johnson) 3(86) - Cameron Dantzler (the answer opposite of Tre) 4(118) - Najee Harris (backfield of Motor/Harris for the next 3 years minimum would be excellent) Overall, I trust whatever decision Beane/McD make. They've earned it IMO. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laviska aligns at WR for the Buffalo spread offense I like Shenault too and I really like Jeudy - but he would have to drop a bit for Beane to move for him. I can talk myself into like 10WRs right now. I need the combine and round 1 of FA to go before I start to settle in so I can see our draft needs and the teams ahead of us. I was trying to be provocative with my choice this early and going off of early RD1 projections that fits Beane's RD1 draft profile - Athletic freaks with a high ceiling... I like TDN, and I try to look at many different sites such as Rotoworld, Walterfootball, NFLN, CBS, Bleacher Report, etc. to get a wide view opinion, plus listen to some of our resident experts on here and I watch some film - I have done zero of that so far and am just starting to dig into it. 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: That’s not who Motor is IMO. He’s not an elite receiver. He’s a guy with extremely quick feet that’s tough to bring down. He plays in a phone booth. Edwards-Helaire plays in space. That’s what I think the Bills need to combine with Motor (who is going to be a star). This is a great point in what need in an RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Ripster Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Man just throwing this out there, Chubba Hubbard is really sick. Also, if that Reagor kid slides into the second we should trade up in the second round, not the first. It will be cheaper. And WRs are usually risky prospects anyways.

However, I don't like his first 2 weaknesses considering what happened with the last WR we drafted in the 1st round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Taylor (1st) Justin Jefferson (move up 2nd) ....we'd have Thunder & Lightning in the backfield. An extremely promising big wr to develop. Sign 2 of these 3: Amari Cooper Yannick Ngakoue Hunter Henry Taylor is a heck of a player but I would be livid if we took a RB in the first round. Motor showed that you can get a great back in later rounds. I love the rest of the moves picks though. Of the three free agents I’d want Yannick and Henry. I know we have a lot of money to spend but I’d rather address WR in the draft instead of free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 On 1/8/2020 at 8:12 AM, Kirby Jackson said: I dunno but he would be a GREAT fit in Buffalo. He’s Sproles 2.0. He’s the perfect 3rd down weapon. i think he is better than Sproles although not as shifty, hes just as good as Singletary and a little bigger and harder runner.
