He could add 10-15 pounds (he’s only a RS Soph), but if Jerry Hughes can play in this defense then so can he. He doesn’t need to be a day starter, he will have time to develop in the S&C program I would love to believe that there is a viable future good starting DE available at 30. If Ojulari can play there, rush the passer and not be an easy target in the run game it would be nice. Likewise, if there is maybe another DE available around 30 that could fill that bill, great. This year, more so than any year that I can remember over 35 years of really following the draft, there are widely varying opinions on many players. I do think a very good RT or interior OL prospect will be available at 30. Do they pull the trigger in spite of re-signing Williams and Feliciano? Allen IS their most important asset... I do think that a very good WR prospect will be there as well - Toney? Marshall? I am not as sold on the RBs... Could be a good CB prospect there. Prospects being equal, DE for me, but I don’t think the prospects will be equal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iverwig Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 9 hours ago, OldTimer1960 said: I think it is stretching things quite a bit to say that McKenzie is starting caliber. I *hope* that Hodgkins can be a contributor, but he was a late pick for a reason. His redshirt year last year didn't make him faster or more sudden (the reasons he was drafted late). Other two listed are camp bodies with possibility to make the team, but not guys who should deter a team from drafting a WR. Where would Ojulari play? I like that he can rush the passer, but are you going to play him at LB in the Bills' D or can he hold up at DE being 240lbs? Ojulari has the potential to bulk up some but he would have to be a LB to start. His pass rushing ability would make him an asset to the defense.

ELIJAH MOORE WR OLE MISS I hope he’s there for us at #30 and Beane wastes no time sending the card in. Where do I even begin with this kid? I watched every Ole Miss game and he’s the definition of ELECTRIC! Lane Kiffin has coached at every level and been around some of the best athletes we’ve ever seen. He said that ELIJAH MOORE was the most talented he’s ever coached! Kiffin has been the OC at USC with Reggie Bush, HC of the Raiders, HC at USC, OC at BAMA UNDER SABAN...and he said that MOORE was the best! Imagining Moore in the slot with Beasley and Diggs makes it a matchup nightmare. We would be the Chiefs on offense if not better. Let’s bring Elijah Moore to Buffalo and have our very own version of Tyreek Hill 2.0! Who’s your favorite prospect? Not sure if this was posted anywhere yet. Just watched last nights buffalo fanatics. Joe Marino was a guest. Rico pushed him into giving his current prediction on who the Bile take. He predicted Elijah Moore and I got really happy lol. Trying to add game breaking play makers is ok in my eyes! Marino also said that it’s way too early to predict and may change his answer come the day prior to the draft. Speed. Give. Me. Speed. I just hope we can coach him up and play him on the outside if we take him. It may take some time, but let him practice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Seeing the picks the rest of the AFC East has compared to Buffalo it’s going to be interesting to see just what Beane has up his sleeve. The Jets and Dolphins each have two 1st rd picks and the Patriots pick at #15, the earliest that they have picked since 2008 when they drafted Mayo at #10. I like how Beane fortified the OL and how he also added to the LB position. I don’t expect either position to be addressed in the 1st rd. While some have hopes of the Bills to grab one of the top 2 RBs, Harris and Etienne, it would be a mild surprise to me if either name is called on Day 1 of the draft. The Bills didn’t lose to the Chiefs because of their RBs, they lost to them because they couldn’t get to MaHomes. Imo that really only leaves 4 positions to address in the 1st rd and that is WR, TE, CB and the DL. Although I, as in many, would love to see the Bills add Florida’s TE Kyle Pitts it just doesn’t seem reasonable nor feasible. As far as WR goes it’s obvious that we’re ok there for at least a year or 2. So I guess it should either be the secondary or the DL. Re-signing Wallace and the play of Dane Jackson last year may be enough to let the Bills just to focus solely on the DL. If that turns out to be the case what would you like to see happen? Do the Bills look towards the future without Star or does Horrible Harry fill that spot? Or is it a edge rusher of some sort, either DE or pass rushing OLB that will be addressed? It’s seems to me to be the latter but picking at #30 makes it pretty difficult to find a worthy player. I’m thinking that now that Beane has filled a lot of depth at certain positions and facing a cash strapped salary cap season that maybe, just maybe Beane goes for quality rather than quantity and uses a combination of player(s) and draft pick(s) to move up into the mid teens to low 20’s to be able to be in position to get such a player. No matter what I believe Beane is gonna have to make yet another bold move in this year’s draft to get the Bills back into some title games this season imo.

Southern_Bills Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Draft picks are great in April, in Sept-Feb they are just guys trying to find their way in the league.

Nihilarian Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Before I get worried about the other teams in the AFC drafts. They need to show they know what they are doing. Brandon Beane has shown he is a sure fire wizard at times. Sam Darnold, Tua, Cam Newton...nuf said! The Jets let go some of their better players to get some of all those draft picks... Also, they were a 2-14 team last season. QB Zach Wilson has some warts... very similar to what we heard about Josh Rosen. If the Jets fail to build a solid offense around that rookie QB he will fail just like Darnold! The Patriots have been drafting poorly over the last few years. The choice of Newton to run their offense, really? The only real worry is if they manage to trade up to the 4-5 spot to get one of the top 5 QBs...even then? Their defense should be in the top 5 again, good run defense, good pass defense. Its the offense that is a concern. Miami has a boatload of draft picks and yet they need to prove they know what they are doing in the draft too. Probably should have stayed at #3 and drafted a QB.

No matter what I believe Beane is gonna have to make yet another bold move in this year’s draft to get the Bills back into some title games this season imo. So much here to unpack. First, I'm kind of glad the AFC east is seemingly becoming relevant, division wise. For far too long it's been the Pats and then the rest of us. The competition will make US better. Just know this. ALL these picks the Phins and Jets have, they need to get them right. Also, it's fair to say the best QB in division is Josh. Period. Tua? I wonder. He's young and the Phins will likely litter good talent around him. I'd take Pitts if I were them at 6 and then land either best OL or edge at 18. Jets? Tons-o-picks. Can't possibly use them all. Or hit on them. Make no mistake, the arrow points up for them. It'll take time. I'm really curious to the path they take. Pats? Better talent to date. Cam still the leader in the clubhouse. He doesn't concern me. Could a QB be drafted? Maybe. They'll compete hard. All this will make Buffalo better. Beane will identify weaknesses in our game as it pertains to "in division" and acquire as necessary vis draft/FA. We've got this. It's our time. We have the essential QB and front office to see this through. We're here to stay. Let's enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Beane is in the enviable position of worrying about his own team more than the competition. He took advantage of that through some free agent signings ahead of the draft knowing he didn't have a high draft pick. Other teams have high draft picks (hope), we have a solid foundation to (hopefully) improve on. I'll take the latter over the former.

Boatdrinks Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 It would seem the pressure was on Beane to produce when he had the great draft position, but also the poor roster and cap issues that led to it. Now the roles are reversed, but for every Josh Allen, several competing teams will draft a Josh Rosen. Beane has earned the benefit of the doubt at this point in his Bills tenure.

Buffalo Junction Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Beane can go BPA because this roster doesn’t have any glaring holes. No other GM in the division has that luxury right now. The Jets and Phins also don’t have the luxury of taking high ceiling developmental prospects of they want to improve this season. This Bills roster can do just that since we’re in a position to draft for the future at most positions. plus.... Allen. We have the best QB in the AFCE, and arguably the second best QB in the entire AFC.... Even if opponents hit on a QB in the draft it will take several years for them to compete at the QB position in this division with McD, Darth Hoodie, Saleh, and Flores scheming defenses.

Although I, as in many, would love to see the Bills add Florida’s TE Kyle Pitts it just doesn’t seem reasonable nor feasible. As far as WR goes it’s obvious that we’re ok there for at least a year or 2. So I guess it should either be the secondary or the DL. Re-signing Wallace and the play of Dane Jackson last year may be enough to let the Bills just to focus solely on the DL. If that turns out to be the case what would you like to see happen? Do the Bills look towards the future without Star or does Horrible Harry fill that spot? Or is it a edge rusher of some sort, either DE or pass rushing OLB that will be addressed? It’s seems to me to be the latter but picking at #30 makes it pretty difficult to find a worthy player. I’m thinking that now that Beane has filled a lot of depth at certain positions and facing a cash strapped salary cap season that maybe, just maybe Beane goes for quality rather than quantity and uses a combination of player(s) and draft pick(s) to move up into the mid teens to low 20’s to be able to be in position to get such a player. No matter what I believe Beane is gonna have to make yet another bold move in this year’s draft to get the Bills back into some title games this season imo. I am 100% the other way - I think Beane has done a great job through FA to get the team ready and anything that happens in the draft is gravy for the upcoming years. I do not expect the draft to have a huge impact on the 2021 Bills. Conversely - the Dolphins, Pats, and especially the Jets have huge holes that they still need to fill and so they have a ton of pressure because they need these picks to improve the team or they are falling further behind.

Motor26 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Do you think the Pats were nervous about the other 3 teams in the division drafting so early for 20 years? No. Pressure is on the other GM’s to put together teams that can beat the Bills, who swept the division last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptnCoke11 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Jets and Dolphins have had great draft position for years and still aren’t good. Not worried about them one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are now the hunted. Come get some... Not to sound to much like a coach/gm, but the pressure is on all the teams in the East, lower teams have great draft assets and NE picked up a lot of players in FA. The Bills need to stay ahead, and that's not just by being the same as last year, but better. It's a new season, not going to be easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket94 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I would love to see Jaelen Phillip and a versatile DB/ Box Safety in the early rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeBreton Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I like Ifeatu Melifonwu, would be awesome to grab him in the second but I can't see him being there. If they took him at 30 I'd be happy too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Draft capital is a lie. 1 great pick is better than 3 or 5 random picks. The other teams need to prove they can actually draft well. Miami missed Huebert. Miami, NY and Ne passed on Lamar Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
