Thoughts on draft

[ScorpionZero]

There's a couple options I've looked at, using draftteks trade value chart.

 

1st) Phillies 15th -1050

       Buffs     25th- 720

                     89th- 145

       2023    2nd. - 270 these points are for the last pick in the round. Which I'm sure GM's will point out. Which gives the trade a win for philly, 1050, bills 1135.

Some players, according to draftteks BB that could be available.

Chris Olave

David OJabo

Drake London

Tyler linderbaum

Jordan Davis

Jameson Williams

Ikem Ekwonu

Jermaine Johnson

Breece Hall

This first trade could be difficult because philly has 11 picks I believe, my thinking was instead of them scrambling to draft at 15,16,19, trade 1 of the first 2, and give themselves some time between picks, to work Thier board and the phones. Hasty decisions are poor decisions.

 

2nd option Giants 7th - 1500

                    Bills.    25 - 720

                                57 - 330

                     2023  1st - 590 same logic, end of first points.         1640

 

some names that could be there: 

Derek Stingley

Demarion Leal

Ahmad Gardner.

 

This trade actually worked on "first-pick" getting the Panthers pick at 6. Went with Stingley over Hamilton, tough choice as both are elite. Who wouldn't be happy with your 2 to corners from DB Univ.

 

Food for thought, bring on your thoughts.

On a team as complete as the Bills?

 

 

But this Bills team is not Complete.  It has holes.   We don't have a starter at LG, LB, CB2.  Other spots might open up if we purge contracts to get some cap space.  It is not like we have superstars in all positions,

 

Also,  Coach McDermott promotes competition at every spot.  Look at Spencer Brown - He was drafted to be a backup for the 1st season as they had bookend tackles.  However,  Covid and competition changed it.

We got really lucky with Spencer Brown let’s not act like that’s a common thing

I was very gung ho about a guard in the first round of this upcoming draft however I think Ryan Bates Has made his name in consideration for that starting spot honestly keeping this group might not be a bad idea even though we should draft a bates like player in the draft

 

We need a corner with speed or a pure pass rusher on the defensive line rounds one or two of this next draft in my opinion thoughts?

 

 

In the 1st, I'd welcome either of your suggestions, a corner or a pass rusher.

 

Or a G/C, a WR or a space eating DT.

I suppose anything's possible, but outside of getting draft capital to bring in a QB the year Allen was available, their tradeups have been trading away later picks to move up just a bit for a guy who seems to be falling. That's the kind of trade I would expect. And like.

 

With the limited cap money available this year even after they let some guys go and do a few re-negotiations, they're going to need every guy who can fill even a smaller role from this draft that they can find. I can't imagine them trading away anything higher than a 5th, and probably just 6ths or 7ths.

I'm thinking this might be the time to trade up, for an impact player they really like. 9 draft picks is to many for the way this team is built. You've got 3 teams with multiple 1st round picks, all of whom are rebuilding, that's were you strike. If that means one of next year's picks, so be it.

While I’m not disagreeing, the question becomes- do you trust Beane to make a good pick, given his track record in the top of the draft?

 

Because if the answer is ‘no’, an argument could be made that more picks might be best for this regime, not less...But I do like the idea of either trading up this year, or trading for a proven vet...👍

[dje85]

Funny everyone claiming now is the time to trade up. I was thinking the opposite. We should trade back from our first into the early mid second and pick up another 2nd or third rounder plus. Then with the extra picks draft players we are seriously lacking starters / depth at or need cheaper depth.

 

For example we need a cb 2 or someone to atleast compete with Dane Jackson because Wallace is going to want more than I think he is worth. Dt we need cheap depth as we already have too much invested there but need a solid space eater to replace Star who is over paid for his snap count. We also need a rb 2 9 This is personal opinion Moss just isn;t cutting it), a wr 3 /speed wr (unless they feel Stevenson can step up), need depth across the oline (I bet we cut loose one or two guys like Ford(due to talent) and Williams( if he doesn't restructure I bet we cut him loose since he is being paid too much for a guard spot. Among other things like a new punter, cheaper special teams guys. Why are we paying so much for special teams specialists again? Maybe a lb who we can develop behind to potentially replace Edmunds next year (I like him but not at 12 million a year or more.. if we can't work out a fair contract I doubt we tag him. I feel if he hits free agency he will be over paid much like he is on his current contract. We could also use a te 2.

 

I want to take the old school Patriots route of drafting depth. Trade back get a ton of different guys that fit our need profile or have high RAZ/ traits but are raw that need coached up. Take shots and see if they can be coached up to replace some of our heavy contracts or ones coming up.. Yeah guys won't hit all the time but more shots mean more hits. 

 

 

[Mikey]

I'd like them to address the secondary as well as LB and after that of course, OLine. I also think we should make trade for player that can help us because we have a lot of draft picks. We can trade to move up or for an already established player.

[gonzo1105]

Its an incredibly deep draft due to the COVID extra year for college players. Plus with the possibility of veteran players outgoing both in FA and due to cuts, I actually think we should be thinking about supplementing the roster with cheap players. I'm in favor of trading up for the right guy but to be honest at some point were gonna have to get cheap labor.

[ThurmanThomasEnglishMuffin]

Trade 1+ for a starting caliber CB.

 

Levi is probably gone. Tre is out for a while. Dane is ok at 1 starting position, but Taron is not an outside guy. Need a #1 CB more than anything else. Will a playoff caliber starting boundary CB be available at the Bills pick? White was, does OBD roll the dice again?

 

FA CB will cost too much (otherwise would resign Levi Wallace). When Tre White is back, then Dane Jackson goes back to being a very experienced 3rd CB on the boundary and you have an improvement on last year's team. Player x from the trade and White, with Jackson being  backup. Taron Johnson still a stud at nickel.

 

The 3 1st and 2nd round picks at DE need to produce.  Period.

 

IOL second round. Could have had Creed Humphrey here last year. Another IOL, of similar capability at OG or C should be there in the 2nd round.

 

After that BPA. WR/TE/LB/DE/DT/P all needs. A S falling to the 3rd round would be good too.

Maybe trade a 1st for an impact player, like the Diggs trade? I agree this is the time.

With 9 picks in the upcoming draft, use one of the day-3 choices and get the best punter available if there's one that is seen as an upgrade over Haack or other available FA's. 

Would love to have a punter who can hang it high to give the Bills' defenders an opportunity to down it inside the 20 consistently.  Getting sick of net gains of 30 yards with touchbacks following punts.

Matt Araiza P - San Diego St ... Won the Ray Guy award, this kid will be drafted, we should spend a sixth rounder on him if he's still available.

Trade our first rounder and Edmunds for a ready to go game changer on D like we did with Diggs. We're too far down in the draft to get an impact player so get one that's ready now.

 

If you trade Edmunds, you now have to acquire 2 players

Ok, so I’m a big fan of going CB in RD1 but for the sake of being a contrarian I decided to do a draft with the mindset that Buffalo addresses CB in FA.  I made a few trades, I went down and up a few spots RDs 2-4.
 

25.
Tyler Linderbaum
OC Iowa
BUF

• Buffalo adds a star IOL with their first pick. Many folks have Linderbaum going in the teens, but he was somehow available at 25. Ultimately he would be a great replacement for Mitch Morse if he decides to retire and although I like Morse and I would keep him in Buffalo for as long as he is willing to stay, Linderbaum gives us depth at center and also he is a fantastic pulling guard while also being strong at the point of attack.

 

60.
Wan'Dale Robinson
WR Kentucky
trade icon
BUF

• Wan’Dale Robinson will be a star slot WR at the next level. He is a mix between Cole Beasley and Tyreek Hill. This would greatly round out our WR room and would provide us with something that we don’t really have.
 

89.
Zachary Carter
DT Florida
BUF

• Buffalo adds a starting quality DT. Although he is listed at 6’4 285, I think that he can easily add another 15-20lbs. He is more of a disrupter than he is a run stuffer, but he definitely has the chance to be a very good starter potentially.
 

97.
Channing Tindall
LB Georgia
trade icon

• Buffalo adds an aggressive LB in the mold of London Fletcher. I think he is of great value here and at the very least we can clear some cap room by trading Edmunds or releasing Klein or Matakevich. He definitely has starter potential and gives us some hope for the LB position long term.

BUF

168.
Jake Camarda
P Georgia

• Why not take the best punter in the draft? It’s clear that Matt can’t “Haack” it.

BUF

184.
Marcus Jones
CB Houston

• Obviously CB is a weak unit for this Bills team, but this draft was done under the impression that Buffalo adds a corner or two in FA.

BUF

202.
Jaylen Watson
CB Washington State

• Same as above. Depth signings and STs players at this point. Another Levi Wallace type of player would be awesome.

If Linderbaum is there at #25 would love pick. Don’t think he makes it to the Bills could see the Cardinals and Cowboys both picking him if he even drops that far.

Chad Reuter's three round mock on NFL.com gives the Bills

 

Round 1 - Andrew Booth, Corner, Clemson

Round 2 - Cam Thomas, Edge, San Diego State

Round 3 - Phidarian Mathis, Defensive Tackle, Alabama

 

While this is all defense and I do think the Bills need offensive linemen and wide receiver help, Booth is my dream scenario at #25, Thomas is a guy I have higher than a lot of other people (and he is perfect for our scheme) and Mathis was a beast at the Senior Bowl. 

 

In terms of offensive guys it would mean the Bills passing on if Reuter's mock played out...

 

Round 1:

 

Receiver: Chris Olave (who I like in round 1) is available as are George Pickens and Jahan Dotson (who I like less as round 1 guys);

 

Offensive Line: Both Kenyon Green and Zion Johnson (the top two guard prospects) are there but all the tackles worth consideration are off the board. 

 

In any event Booth would be my guy in this scenario. He would be sticking out on my board. I have him as a top 5 player in the class. 

 

Round 2: 

 

Receiver: Reuter leaves David Bell, Calvin Austin and John Metchie on the board to take Thomas. 

 

Offensive Line: Bernhard Raimann (Central Michigan) goes a few picks later to Kansas City and Daniel Faalele (Minnesota) and Nick Petit-Frere (Ohio State) both go inplausibly late in the 3rd based on where the early consensus seems to be. I still need to sort through where I am on some of these second tier tackles. 

 

My conclusion to be honest is that if the board fell as Reuter has it I would probably make the same pick he does (I know four edge in the top 2 rounds in the last 3 drafts, I get it) I just think he would be the BPA by my board my a distance. 

 

Round 3:

 

Wide Receiver: Christian Watson (North Dakota State) goes two picks later to Green Bay and Wan'Dale Robinson goes later still to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jalen Thomas (South Alabama) and Alec Pierce (Cincinnati) are still there too. 

 

Offensive Line: Reuter does have a run on OL in his mock so this is starting to thin out but Dylan Parham (Memphis) is a potential developmental center and Jaxson Kirkland (Washington) is still there at tackle. 

 

This is the round where I would probably diverge from Reuter if the rest of the draft fell as he has it. I'd go receiver at this spot. I liked Watson at the Senior Bowl and think he has the potential to be a solid #2 in the NFL. But I would probably veer toward Robinson who is a bit of a boom or bust gimmick player but he has that speed that the Bills O lacks... and in addition I do not want Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes getting their hands on him!

[Ayjent]

I think they have to look at shoring up the Interior OL despite the improvement at the end of the year.  They need to move on from a lot of the pieces they had.  I think Kromer makes a big difference, but they need to keep the pipeline of talent in front of Josh.  That is the priority and where this team struggled during the season to find any consistency and it impacted the entire team.

 

I know people are pretty polarized on Edmunds.  He's a fine player, but not what we all hoped he'd be.  I doubt this will happen but I almost think that Defense would be better served to move him outside and play with 3 true LBs more frequently and find an option that provides a bit more playmaking ability at the MLB position.  I know Ray Lewis, Urlacher and Singletary aren't just waiting to be drafted, but the Defense Frazier runs is most successful when you have playmakers at every level up the spine of the Defense (DT, MLB and Strong Safety).  Standing pat with Milano and Edmunds at LB seems like wishful thinking to improve the Defense.  Milano is undersized against the run and Edmunds frequently gets lost in traffic.  I think this position is far more important than people think to this defense and is the difference between it being good and great.  I just don't think Edmunds is ever going to find the consistency and I don't think he'll be worth his market value come time to pay up.

I want Faalele some how some way. Give me also a WR like WanDale Robinson. I want another CB too, but we need to focus on the offense this year. 

Why are you interested in another OT?  I think Spencer Brown will be fine opposite Dion Dawkins.

Because there is limited depth behind them. What happens if Brown has a sophomore slump? What happens if Dion struggles again as he did early this year? I am willing to give him the benefit of the covid doubt but I want to have a plan in place for either of those two things occurring. 

 

EDIT: And also because I am open to any way of improving the line. Even if that means moving Dawkins inside (either now or in time).

I don't think Titans need another DT... they are just fine with Simmons
