Can you please recruit a couple for us the next time you are at Duff's? Try me Kool guy. What do you know? Shall we draft another really fast guy? Oh, oh another "lockdown corner"? How about we simply protect our $250M investment and build an OL that we can actually run behind rather than being met 2 yards behind the OL. P.S.: Mom's calling you to come from the basement for supper. you want to draft IOL and DT with our first 3 picks……I have nothing else to say. You want to draft 3 of the least premium positions in football with our first 3 picks. You’re strategy is 💯 drafting for need. i agree, we need to reinforce the IOL and add a DT…..but not with our first 3 picks. That’s all. If you don’t understand the meaning of positional value, I ain’t got nothing for ya. Maybe you’ll figure it out one day. 26 minutes ago, Motorin' said: If I'm Brian Daboll, I'm taking Pickett at 7.

Oh you got a regular poster in @Jay_Fixit insisting that your post is 100% wrong........that can be kept and thrown back in his face in just a few months. Usually the people with the blanket "that will never happen" takes are rando's who just appear out of nowhere only to disappear after they say something stupid. I remember saying that I thought the Bills were going to make a serious push to sign Mario Williams and some guy simply named @Kevin flipped out on me saying it would never happen without really explaining why............then he immediately disappeared from sight days later. That's usually how the summarily dismissed takes work........it's usually a rando who disappears or changes his name. 6 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: The Giants would LOVE to trade down.

It's definitely not a star-studded top 10 and with limited QB prospects it's a particularly low-value top of the draft. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have still been there in the 2nd. I think that was a completely different situation to this. We already had Beast Mode on the roster and we weren't exactly a good enough to team to take a calculated risk like that. We needed huge help at other positions. I like the idea of this team making a move like this, grabbing a potentially bluechip player at 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you assume Beasley is back he's another year older and in the final year of his contract. Williams can play slot and get some of those manufactured touches that we give to McKenzie right now. We also have needed a WR that can take the top off the defense since John Brown fell off a cliff in 2020. Same goes a WR that gives us YAC. Williams has the advantage of filling all of those needs in a single player. Agree. I have to ask is the Bill's Oline and run game more like what we saw in the first two thirds of the season or more like the five or so ending games? I firmly believe the latter part of Allen's success was the Oline and run game. It didn't matter who the Bills had lined up as pass catchers. McKenzie, Davis, and Knox came through when needed. Allen will get anyone the ball with time. He's that good. All this talk about WR is fine but without a good Oline and a run the Bills will likely not win it all. Let's continue to build the Oline and run game on offense. Also, need a nice CB, a quality LB, and a run stuffing DL. I'm done with Edmunds, Hughes, and Star. They are dead weight.

I hope Williams would work out for Buffalo, but for some reason I am having flashbacks of Willis McGahee, lol. Who knows? Not the same at all. McGahee’s injury involved other ligaments outside of his ACL. @GunnerBillgreat minds think alike. I advocated for the Bills to take Williams or Wilson in another thread. I think Wilson will go before Olave or London though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he falls further there are serious character issues or the injury is really really bad. I think he will recover and be good to go. I don’t think he’s got character issues. Unfortunately I agree he won’t be there at 25. He’d be the first WR off the board but for the injury. But the draft is deep at the position and maybe another top shelf WR falls to us. Or we take the center and move up in the second depending on who is still there. Don’t want to see a top heavy defensive draft. That would be a bad sign imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Jameson Williams might be a BPA pick at that point. Free agency will be a strong factor in determining whether Buffalo should address a clearer need. With Diggs in the fold and the emergence of Gabe Davis, WR is probably not a real acute need even assuming Sanders is gone. I would be surprised if both Beasley and McKenzie are gone along with Sanders, and I wouldn't be that inclined to want to use either Davis or J. Williams in the slot that much. I do want to see Buffalo upgrade in free agency or the draft at CB, DT and interior offensive line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Would prefer Oline but with Linerbaum and Kenyon Green off the board it is hard to see them getting better value at pick 25 then getting a top WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716er Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Usually not a fan of trading up, but giving up a 2nd to move up a 5-10 spots to nab Olave would be worth it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Gunner, I love that puck if he is there. If not, and a good CB is there, I'm going that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I want Olave. I saw him going in the 2nd round in a few on-line mock drafts about a month or so ago which made no sense to me. I'd be happy with Williams though if it looks like he will soon return to form. Just get Josh another home-run hitter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets are not going receiver. They are going Oline and defensive back. Eagles, could they go receiver for a 3rd year in a row in the 1st? Sure but not sure I see that. Giants it is possible. Browns are definitely a potential receiver team it was a coin flip for them. Chargers is possible if Mike Williams leaves but I don't think he will. Steelers are not a receiver in the 1st team. When you couple that with a jumbled up receiver group and no consensus #1WR I can see them starting to come off the board later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, getting him at pick 25 would be our best case scenario. Fits need and fits BPA. If a Ferrari has a scratch on the door, and you get it 25% off, you pull the trigger. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
