whatdrought Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hm. Taking a LB in the first three rounds would have me seriously wondering what the admin see’s in Tremaine’s future... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd play outside in a 4-3 so I'm not sure it would affect Edmunds much, if at all. He's a little raw but looks like he could be a good pursuit backer. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 2 LB setup really leads to the LB’s being somewhat interchangeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I’m not a draft expert but I’m strongly considering him in our mock on here for Cleveland.. We call that GM speak in the business in case y’all didn’t know. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogger Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Yes we need depth at LB. Klein is the depth now, no offense to him, it’s uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I really like Surratt. He's athletic, fairly instinctive (former QB), and a sure tackler. He can run with RB's and TE's in coverage. He also has a nice closing burst when he sees the ball dumped off in the flat or underneath. I think he would fit well into this defense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 This is not an indictment of Edmunds. They probably just want depth or at least look into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The player comparison I keep seeing for Surratt is Shaq Thompson, so yes this pick would make a ton of sense. The Bills need a sub-package coverage LB/big nickel with speed that can cover TEs. Siran Neal could have been that player but he is probably a career special teams player at this point. Surratt would be a nice consolation prize if Owusu-Koramoah ends up out of reach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggled against TE's last year and now the Pats are doing a 2 TE set. I think the Dolphins could be adding Pitts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the free agent signings, Bills can go multiple ways in the draft. Most pressing need IMO is pressure from the edge. I could also see an upgrade at CB or interior line with the draft. I think the FO wanted some speed in the backfield and think Breida may fill that role. All this in mind, I think the Bills are sneakily looking at taking a LB in first or second rounds. My 2 reasons, the trouble they had covering TE and the decision they have to make with Edmunds and a contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a best case scenario a stud DE is who we grab, but its a weak class and sitting 30th isn't going to cut it. Id rather roll with Epenesa and looks to add elsewhere LB/CB/G etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Big fan of Surratt, probably would need to be had with our second rounder or a third round trade up. I think he would see the field pretty often even with Milano and Edmunds healthy. He is a pretty good coverage backer so you can do a lot with him.

I was just discussing the kid with 'whatdrought', nothing more. I said I like him as a prospect in general, not as a Bill. With Milano re-signing, there are bigger needs than LB. I wouldn't even entertain taking one prior to the Round 3, if then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Surratt has made a pretty remarkable transition from QB to LB. He’s an extremely smart and athletic player. I don’t really follow the draft lead-up so I have no idea where he is ranked but he seems like a solid 3rd or 4th rounder to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 He looks like a strong safety to me or a Deon Bucannon type of Safety/Linebacker. I like that he's football player first, elite athlete second and that his instincts for defending the pass are there from playing QB. I don't like that in nearly every draft profile you read you see discussion about how he'd get swallowed up against the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
