Lurker Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Most mocks have him going higher, but this piece from Ryan Talbot is intriguing. What do TSW's hard core draftnics think? https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2020/04/nfl-draft-2020-stefon-diggs-brother-trevon-diggs-could-fall-into-buffalo-bills-lap-on-day-two-report.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 He might, but good CB prospects like him will get drafted late 1st early 2nd. Would be amazing if it happens, but I give it a under 10% chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Well he’s considered a late 2, early 3 according to Kiper today. There’s no consensus on order past Okudah and Henderson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I've seen mocks take him at 22 to Minnesota. The irony! https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-mock-draft-2020-cowboys-patriots-trade-up-to-land-needed-firepower-and-vikings-raise-some-eyebrows/ Slim chance he falls to us without a trade up but hey, who knows right?

whatdrought Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 The 20- 60 range is never as clear as people make it out to be. He seems like he’ll be hard pressed to last past 40, but he does fall in a group of CB’s that could all move around some after Okudah and Henderson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I don't think I'd its likely but it's certainly well within the realm of possibility. Plenty of good players slide further than expected every year, and I dont see why Diggs couldn't be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It could most certainly happen. You never know. Greedy Williams fell to pick 46 after widely being considered a top 20 lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 But Diggs’ stock has been pointing down steadily since — he was my 61st-overall selection in January — and this report will only precipitate his fall out of first-round projections entirely. What led to the fall? Failing to test was a big deal. Diggs entered Alabama as a wide receiver/cornerback/athlete recruit and didn't find a home in his first season or so before settling into cornerback. Accordingly, athletic ability should have been a high point on his film at corner, but that's not so. Diggs is a smart corner with good instincts who understands his reads, but he's outmatched when transitioning off of press or turning and running with downfield routes. Positive testing could have indicated that more growth was available for him in the NFL, but he didn't test at the scouting combine, only confirming what we already knew: he has big-time size. The PFF pegs Diggs as a press-heavy corner and I understand why. He was productive in his final season at Alabama but might struggle to deal with WR1s on a weekly basis in the NFL. Diggs is a late-two grade on my big board. I think he's clearly in the third tier, not second, of cornerbacks in this upcoming draft. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/ten-days-out--cornerback-class-as-clouded-as-ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I would hate spending that high of a pick on a cb with all the needs we have. I mean it would be a nice story but it’s the NFL not a family reunion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of RB...CB2 is as big a need as any on this team, which is to say... we’d be ok if we didn’t address it.

Those are way higher than another corner plus if there is one thing this regime is great at, its finding defensive backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rather than reaching for a "need," I really think Beane should go BPA - as he said he would. When you draft for need, you end up passing on better guys who would have helped your team more in the long run. If Diggs turns out to be the BPA when the Bills are on the clock, it could be fun to have Stefon's little brother. And he does sound like a good fit for McD's D.

Can't let your brother beat you. With them being positions that face off regularly, it wouldn't be shocking for there to be a similar effect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are way higher than another corner plus if there is one thing this regime is great at, its finding defensive backs. I’d be absolutely fine if we spend a premium pick on WR or EDGE. Our Top 3 WRs are really good, but Duke didn’t lock down WR4 last year, Foster is an enigma and McKenzie should be strictly a gadget weapon. Hughes and Addison are good, but getting older. Murphy is decent. Jefferson will be a chess piece moving all over. I don’t know what we have in Johnson. So, I’d be fine taking a young pass rusher. We definitely need a RB to pair with Singletary, so that likely comes in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Given how good our top 3 WR’s are and the fact we have decent DE’s means we could certainly address those positions, but don’t need to this year. CB2 also aligns with that thought process. I could certainly also get behind a young, cost controlled talent CB opposite Tre White. Edited April 13, 2020 by SCBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
