SCBills Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 After Wildgoose and Anderson were poached, I hope they use those later picks (185, 203, 231) to move around the board in the middle rounds.ย We need inexpensive talent and can't be wasting picks on guys who will get cut or poached.ย ย As it stands, give me CB, WR, IOL in the first 3 rounds.ย Then with the remaining draft: OT, CB, RB, TE, LB, P are all options. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatโs why I wouldnโt really mind packaging and moving around to get your guys. Itโs going to be really hard to justify keeping the later guys on the team.

ColoradoBills Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 CB, IOL and WR in the first 3 picks.ย The punter if he is available with the first 6th. The rest will be BPAs with an eye on DB and OL and RB. It's going to be hard for any rookie after the 4th making the 53 so that punter pick is probably OK to do. Heck, I would even use the 2 - 6th rounders to go get Araiza if they like him a lot. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 All I know is that the Bills better get more production out of their first two selections than they have the last couple of years. This is a solid playoff team now. They need to fill a hole or two, with a major contribution from a top rookie. Soโฆtake the punter in Round One!

The main point we agree on, these later picks have almost zero chance of cracking the roster so go after "special teams" type players or use those picks to move up.

No argument on either of those guys in their limited roles but I find it hard to believe they canโt find a true STARTER at a position of need. Iโm beginning to think McD doesnโt want them to start. Almost like a college coach would want freshmen to sit and learn for a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the league really needs to change how practice squad poaching works. If another team signs a guy drafted in the 7th round from our practice squad, we should get a compensation pick in exchange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLEN1QB Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Realistically how many positions do we have available on this roster?ย If there was ever a year to bundle some pics to move up and get the guy you want this is the year in my opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyab1974 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Wow the draft picks are so early. Have they ever picked early before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Summary Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Bundling picks, trading up, and assuming all of your reduced number of picks will make the team seems as much hubris as logical.ย Other than maneuvering for a QB, I like using all the picks and getting those players into the Bills camp and culling them after you've worked with them through camp.ย Wouldn't you want to look at players extensively in your own system before eliminating them from consideration?ย ย ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
