Uche is really fast, but where would you play him?  He really isn’t big/strong enough to play 4-3 DE is he?  If you play him at LB, do you take Milano or Edmunds off the field for the large % of plays that they go with 2 LBs?  Is he just a situational pass rusher in that case?

 

I think he's got the long-term ability to play as a 4-3 RDE, he's got the building blocks of a high calibre speed rusher. I could also see him being a SAM linebacker in base sets.

 

Or a mixture of the two like Lorenzo was, only actually good at covering.

With that I will go

Do love him, but I think it's a reach at 86 if you go by consensus. He's 63 on my board, but I don't think he even shows up on the other 6 boards I've got in the sheet for reference.

If he can carry enough weight to be 245-250 without losing speed/quickness, he could be very interesting.  If he has to play OLB, then you would probably not re-sign Milano and play Uche in his place, but that feels like a lateral move with a step up in pass rushing.

 

6’1” is not typical height for a DE, but his arms are not too short.

My uneducated guess is that the Bills will go with the highest rated CB or Safety on their board.

I did think about the long-term idea of him replacing Milano and I don't hate it as a cost-effective measure. I think, in this scheme particularly, you might need someone a little more advanced in coverage than Uche though. The idea of him playing SAM gives you variety but not neccesarily a lot of snap production for the pick on it's own.

 

He doesn't fit a lot of the McDermott/Carolina prototypes that have been established over the years as an edge guy but I do have faith that he's got a future playing on the D-line. For a staff that loves smart kids with versatility, I have no trouble thinking that he's high on their board.

Front office seemed to have spent more time scouting him than anyone. Think he’s the pick if there. 

I have to think that scouting was done before trading for Diggs.  I suspect that the trade changes their priorities some wrt WR.

Thank you - always enjoy your insights along with Gunner’s, Bandit’s, 716 and others that do their own evaluations.

Bills stand pat at 54 and take AJ Dillon from BC.

 

No way. That's a HUGE overdraft.

If you say Dillon on the third round I will jump on your horse. :thumbsup:

 

Still too high.

I feel like this year more than ever I hate most of the prospects that the board loves. Claypool, Dillon, Hall, CEH - I like him, just not for us, and I'm sure there are others.

 

John Murphy has pitched a tent on air over Claypool on multiple occasions. He mentions him every chance he gets.

I keep getting the feeling that one of these top WR prospects falls to us like Denzel Mims, Tee Higgins or Brandon Aiyuk. Especially Aiyuk. Don’t know why, I just feel it.

 

Considering there may not be OTAs and rookie training camps and such. I think it is very possible. I think there will be a huge run on offensive tackles early, even some guards and centers and I think that will push skills guys down I think teams are going to go safe this year with more OL-DL guys. We saw a lot of tackles go last year and the offensive tackles in this draft are better imo. I also think that the running backs will got earlier than expected for the same reason, as a lot of those guys can plug and play and contribute year 1. I think the high risk-high reward guys may drop a bit.

Good take. Could see a lot of 'high floor' guys taken, especially by less established front offices/coaching staffs.

Chinn or Dantzler 2nd round

 

Greenard 3rd round

So DIggs is the only top level player added to the offense? Don't think so. One of the Day 2 picks is rb or wr. Beane made a point of needing more playmakers that can potentially score on any play.

54 - DE probably Terrell Lewis.  Give the new DC a say in his new toy.  I think it would be T Lewis because he has the most potential.  Let him develop for a year and then next year some DEs would be jettisoned - Murphy and one of the old guys.  Great succession planning - keeps the Bills good for years.

 

86-  WR - C Claypool or if not there B Edwards or Mims.  Groom a WR, a lot of talent in this draft to chose from.  If they hit, makes for a great progression.

 

128 - RB - probably with a slight move up to get their guy.  Someone like Zach Moss or Evans or even Dillon.

First, I would be real surprised if Dugger is still there at #54...If he is I think it makes some sense...But I'm not sold on that idea to be honest...

 

My guess is Diggs or Arnette will be the pick at #54...

 

I would NOT pass on Lucas Niang if he's there at #54...I doubt he will be...

 

My preference is one of the pass rushers...I think by the end of the 2020 season you could have Uche filling that Lorax role in this Defense pretty well...

 

We'll see...?

I tend to disagree- guys a beast and pounding the ball is coming back full circle in the NFL.

Ha fair enough but I don’t think he will be there. RB’s are going to come off the board quicker this year imo- we will know soon enough!

I believe that he will be available in the third round when we pick. On the other hand I don't think he will be available after the third round. It is likely that the top tier rated backs (four or so backs) will be taken in the second round with maybe one taken in the first round. This is my conjecture (guess).

It is anyones guess- imo my guy falls in the top 3 of backs- he is in the mold of Derrick Henry and to me, it is worth its weight in gold. A big back down the stretch punishing defenders that are banged up is just a great spectacle ?

Being predictive my guess is John Simpson, OG from Clemson. Our interior push in the run game was lacking last year and we have no young talent at the position. Can't rely on Feliciano and Spain forever.

 

Just for fun I also predict Chase Claypool will drop and we will trade up for him in round 3. They still need to add a size receiver. No way they're going into the season counting on Duke Williams to fill that role.

 

That gives us two Senior Bowl players that we met with pre-draft, and a trade up on day 2. Sounds like a realistic McDermott/Beane draft to me.
