julian Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Assuming Williams returns to pre injury form, who’s his comp currently in the league ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Williams - and I don’t think it’s particularly close. You have to go with talent at the more premium position even if he is limited in year one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The best CB on the board. There should be several good value CB's in this range. That said, I wouldn't mind OL help would be my 2nd choice. If Beane is foolish enouhh to throw away this pick on a WR when we have such obviously bigger needs in a WR loaded draft, he'll definitely handcuff Miller whom he just paid a bundle. Why spend all that money and not give him 2 or 3 solid corners to give him time to get to the QB? Why worry about a receiver when our QB is getting killed? Josh Allen's numbers under pressure were way off last year compared to when he had a clean pocket. It was the biggest dropoff among starting QB's according to Chris Brown. If we look past these positions in the top 2 rounds, it had better be for a generational talent. Not having a solid OL and CB (after Tre was hurt) cost us multiple wins last year. I don't want to repeat that scenario. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I think Johnson is going to a good guard? Sure. But the value just isn’t there imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 This a deep draft at guard as you can find quality well into the 4th round. Williams when heathy is worthy of being drafted in the top 10. Giving Josh a player like this is just to tempting to pass up. You gotta go for Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 This isn't even a question worth pondering. If Beane takes an IOL at 25 over Jameson Williams he should be given a 'swirly' and stuffed into a locker. And maybe punched in the nads just for good measure. 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think I'd go with Jameson Williams, but anyone thinking he even has a remote chance to be ready Week 1 is crazy. He'll miss at least the first 5-6 games, and they could hold him out longer to avoid reinjury. None of this will matter when Beane takes a CB anyway.

Putin Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) I’m sorry but is not even a debate you can find a guard in the middle rounds , I’d rather have an elite WR and a decent enough guard Edited March 23 by Putin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Allen was the most pressured QB in the NFL last year, if he wasn’t athletic he would have been the most sacked too. I’m not saying take the guard (I want a corner), but I’m going oline round 2, preferably a tackle who can play guard and serve as a swing tackle if need be.

billybrew1 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 2 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: I'm all in on CB in Round 1 following the Jamison Crowder signing and Isaiah McKenzie re-signing. I'd add a WR in the Draft, but not in Round 1. I'd prefer a John Metchie III or Christian Watson in Round 2 or a Tyquan Thornton in the 3rd or 4th. Speed being the name of the game for that extra WR. So I'd prefer to go neither. Especially not if McDuffie or Booth are on the board. I think (or hope) Bates will be retained. From there, we need depth. I'd address that in mid rounds. If we don't retain Bates and one of the top 4 CB's aren't there - then I'd be open to Zion Johnson. But even then, I think i'd prefer a trade down to pick up extra picks and then draft an Elam or McCreary. Even if we need a Starting Guard, I don't like using a pick higher than Round 2 for a Guard. Well, that’s a well thought out answer, good job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Does anyone know specific details on Williams knee? (and not the combine propaganda) I suspect the answer is no, it’s a big chance to take a guy who’s nick name could end up being Jameson “ the knee“ Williams, or protection for your $250,000,000.00 investment, ie; Josh Allen, especially in what is evidently a go for broke season.

And a one year wonder on top of it. 1 hour ago, BarleyNY said: Williams - and I don’t think it’s particularly close. You have to go with talent at the more premium position even if he is limited in year one. I think we went with “talent” in trading up for Edmunds and Ford. Zion projects as an all-pro and has a record of performance without a knee issue of unknown severity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcam2012 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 2 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: You win football games by dominating the middle of the field both on offense and defense. It was true yesterday and will still be true tomorrow. Exactly correct. Ask yourself how good was Allen when the Oline was playing like dog poop. Strengthen the lines and the Bills path to the Super Bowl is much easier. Plus I'll add that Allen can make any average wr much much better. Stop with all this first round talk with ER and RB. Strengthen the Oline and we have a glaring hole at CB. It's a CB in the first round hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I'm not really ever a believer in OL in the 1st round. The position is too hit and miss to waste valuable picks on. Plus a single elite OL-man isn't a game changing player. OL is more about the whole than the individual talent IMO. I'm more inclined to buy a solid OL in free agency, take 2-3 OL on day 2 and 3 every year, and spend round 1 picks on players that have the chance to be individual game changers - CB, pass rusher, WR, even RB if they have an elite attribute. Zion Johnson will never have the game winning play in the Super Bowl. Jameson Williams might. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I really don't see a world were Williams is there at 25. Chris Olave would have been a better comparison IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 0 chance they are taking a guard at 25. CB most likely is going to be the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politely disagree. Earlier in round 1, I think you're right, but at #25 if the guy is really good, it' s OK. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
