Name 2 players drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2022

Zach Tom 

Noah Elliss

 

 Both players scream mid round “strengthen the trenches” type players. Both also slide into places where they can make the roster and fill longer term needs. 
 

Ellis’s slides in as the 5th DT and an immigrate backup for Jones and a longer term replacement for the veteran Jones. Tom is an athletic Oline player who can play guard or tackle and probably would slide in as depth on a suddenly thin Oline unit.

Tom is growing on me by the watch. I see him as Mitch Morse 2.0 a college tackle whose NFL future should be as a center in a pass heavy offense. Really like him. Love his feet.

I'm going to say that there is a maybe 5% chance Bills go WR in round 1.

 

First, if Diggs and Davis are your starters - and likely the next 2 years minimum, why draft one now?  In Round 1.  You'll have to trade up to get that sure fire starter where there seems to be little consensus on the position and WRS can be had later.  

 

Second, you want guys that can come in and start and make an impact on a team that's a SB favorite.  

 

There are only 2 positions available on the roster for that to happen based on the depth chart now.  It's CB and 1 tech DT.  Maybe OG.  

 

 

CB, or Davis is who I think they want in RD 1 - I guarantee Davis is on their radar.

 

Look WR later.  

I agree, and have been saying that since the Senior Bowl.

 

If Andrew Booth is on the Board at pick 25, I would be super surprised if he is not the pick. 

 

Value proposition of a 1st round pick matters.  So it is unlikely a center, fullback, tight end, punter, kicker, and nor probably a guard will be drafted in the 1st.  And no quarterback.    Cornerback is up there.  And if you leave out WR, maybe DL and whatelse?

RB (Hall) is the only other position where we could potentially significantly upgrade - depends how everyone feels about Motor.

 

I see Motor as being Marlon Mack, with Hall coming in and potentially being Jonathan Taylor - lite, but maybe he can be close to him and if we had a player like that on this offense we become almost impossible to defend.  

 

So at 25:

 

Booth - maybe Elam

Jordan Davis

Breece Hall

 

That's where I'm at.  I don't think the latter 2 will be there tho.

The Positions that I think are in play for the Bills are Primary picks: WR/CB. If there is nothing on the board then I believe the Bills will choose from a SAF/LB/OT/or DT.

I try and try, but everything I watch tells me I would rather have Ken Walker, Jr - in the 2nd round.

I just am not team Breece Hall at 25.

Jordan Davis in the 1st round after a trade up or two.

 

Zak Tom in the 3rd round after a small trade up to leap frog the Pats who are interested in him as well.

 

Everyone knows who Jordan Davis is.

 

For those unfamiliar with Zak Tom....

 

3rd Round -- Zack Tom -- OT/C -- Wake Forest

 

I think Zak will be available at #89 however if necessary use one of our 6th round picks to trade up past the Pats who are rumoured to love him.

  2021 ACC JIM TATUM AWARD WINNER: Wake Forest senior offensive tackle Zach Tom has been named the recipient of the 2021 Jim Tatum Award, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Monday. The award is given annually in memory of the late Jim Tatum to the top senior student-athlete among the league's football players. Tatum, a two-time ACC Coach of the Year, coached in the 1950s at both Maryland and North Carolina and believed strongly in the concept of the student-athlete. The owner of a 3.76 career GPA, Tom was named a 2021 ACC Postgraduate Scholarship Recipient after completing his undergraduate degree in Business and Enterprise Management with ***** Laude honors last spring. Tom has been an All-ACC Academic Team member each of the past two seasons while also earning ACC Academic Honor Roll honors during all four years in Winston-Salem. He is currently pursuing his Masters of Business, becoming just the second Wake Forest football student-athlete to enroll in the MBA program.

 

The 6-5, 295-pound Prairieville, Louisiana, native has been a mainstay on the offensive front for the Atlantic Division champion Demon Deacons, who enter this Saturday's Subway ACC Football Championship Game leading the conference in scoring (42.9 points per game) and ranked third in total yards per contest (483.6). A Campbell Trophy semifinalist, Tom also earned a spot on the preseason watch list for Outland Trophy, which is awarded to the best interior lineman in the country. "Everyone on our staff is extremely proud of how Zach Tom has excelled on and off the field during his career at Wake Forest," said Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson. "His dedication and hard work have allowed him to become one of the best offensive tackles in the country, and he is just the second football student-athlete to enroll in Wake Forest's prestigious M.B.A. program. "On behalf of our football program, I would like to thank the Atlantic Coast Conference for recognizing Zach as the 2021 Jim Tatum Award recipient." - ACC Football

Zack would be our starting C when Morse is gone in 2023 and will be a starting Guard in 2022 for the Bills.  Bates is crap and should be nothing more than a back up OL.  Bates has had plenty of opportunity with the Bills and has NEVER cracked the starting line up except for when there were injuries to other OL.  Anyone thinking Bates can be a starting OL on the Bills is wrong or simply adopts a "any 5 fat dudes can be a NFL OL" philosophy because they want to draft a "speedy" WR, "lock down" CB, "game changing" RB or "field stretching" TE and/or some other ridiculously stupid pick rather than properly building the OL and DL.  

 

Zach is flexible enough to play both C and OT as he did in Wake Forest but I see him as a great C in the NFL.  He is smart enough to make the calls at the NFL level.

Doing a trade up or two for a DT when we have Ed Oliver, DaQuan Jones, and Tim Settle under multi year deals (as well as Jordan Phillips for this season) with the amount of holes we already need to fill elsewhere this year doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
