GunnerBill Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 24 minutes ago, DCOrange said: I think we're pretty much in a position now where there's no huge need that we absolutely need to address. I think WR might be BPA but I feel like we probably won't go that direction. I think safety/CB is the most likely direction. If Dugger/Winfield/maybe Chinn are there at 54, I would guess they're the pick. I still like Amik Robertson as a fit for us a lot but Round 2 might be too high for him. RB could also be BPA but I would probably pass unless one of the top 4 is there (Swift, Taylor, CEH, Dobbins). Agree on the running backs. If one of that top 4 guys is there I'd strongly consider. For me I think if there is an EDGE guy there that represents value that should be the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends who is there.... I'd take Jonathan Taylor. If any of the other 3 top 4 backs are there I'd consider seriously. At corner..... if my guy Jaylon Johnson is there I'd be all over that pick. I think people's corner rankings tend to go: 1. Okudah, 2 and 3 Henderson and Fulton in some order and then a jumble of guys.... Diggs, Johnson, Gladney, Dantzler... it depends who is there.

Seems like the general consensus is that Anae, Okwara, and Weaver could be decent options there -shrugs- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am probably higher than most on Anae, I'd consider Weaver.... I have a 3rd on Okwara so he would be too rich for my tastes at #54. If we go another direction and Okwara was there in the third then sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayjent Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 22 hours ago, Lurker said: I think Edwards-Helaire would be a home run in the passing game, letalone what he can do as a runner. He's the closest thing to Turman Thomas I can recall in a long, long time running the wheel route... I think LaMichael Perine is a better player all around, bigger and more durable. He's also great in the passing game and played behind a line that couldn't run block for anything last year and still had a pretty good season. Also, more of a change of pace with Singletary. He may not have the shiftiness, but we've got that in Singletary. I think he is available still in the 3rd though so that the Bills can go OL in 2nd. I really think that is where the 2nd round pick should be focused, but at 54 you have to take the best value you can get wherever it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We should notice that they use the draft to shoot for homerun type players. They use cap space to get seasoned veterans who have shown they can play well, and do this rather than wasting time on good to okay college guys who might flame our or take 2-3 years to get up to speed. ... I'm pretty sure that they will trade UP rather than down, and might do something like trade the 4th & 5th and a 3rd next year to move up from #54. They would like to get somebody who could start and has all-pro potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 3/18/2020 at 7:40 PM, billsfan89 said: Am I missing something or is Singletary not the lead back? The team shouldn't waste picks trading up for a back/role player need like RB. This team could use a corner or an edge rusher or even a WR much more than they need someone to take short yardage roles. Even a O-line pick is better. I am all for taking a RB in round 3 or 4 but not in round 2. I disagree. The team seems to like doing a rotation. Singletary is a smaller back and I think having a similar back take maybe a third of the plays would keep him fresher and reduce the chance of an injury either slowing him down, or making him play wounded the rest of the year.

He’s a bit limited as far as fluidity and he didn’t run at the combine, and folks forgot about him after the injury. However, he’s a big smart and instinctive corner with leadership qualities and solid tackling. Would fit for zone schemes and as a corner/safety hybrid. I see him coming into play mid 2nd round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a dynamic runner but where I think he's going to really be an outstanding pro is in the passing game. He just reminds me so much of Thurman Thomas everytime I see him make a catch. Add that skill set to the Bills and you've got the next best thing to KC in terms of "which weapon do you cover" from a defensive game planning situation. And if he can get 8-10 runs a game to spell Singletary, you've got one hell of a dangerous backfield. Add a low-cost vet as the sledgehammer goal line specialist and boom... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you are right though considering how this regime is more defense oriented.... I don't expect WR or even RB at 54. That’s very true. I like Aiyuk a lot but I can’t see us passing on Taylor or Dobbins. Aiyuk would be my third option, he’ll be a great player, reminds me of Chad Johnson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
