Bills 2nd round pick ???

[CapeBreton]

I'm thinking they go linebacker round 2, they met with Christian Harris and he could be there at 57. Chad Muma too but I expect he'll be taken. Then WR in the third, no idea who will be there though, Alec Pierce, Shakir, Phillips, Wan'Dale, Calvin Austin could be options.

[CNYfan]

Maybe the Ohio state tackle or the Memphis Guard?

I agree that this front office has been nothing short of stellar. To think we the fans know more than Beane and company is a battle I'm not willing to fight. Their track record speaks for themselves. However, it doesn't mean that Beane/ front office hasn't made errors. Doesn't mean fans can't or shouldn't be critical of the front office moves. Isn't that what all fans do? It's goes with the territory sort of speak. Some opinions are really out there and ridiculous while others seem more rational and fact based. 

 

Personally, it's always fun for me to "play scout" for the Bills, predict the Bills moves, and critique, praise or criticize the draft picks and free agency pick ups or lack of. Once again, isn't that what fans do? It doesn't mean that fans think they know more than Beane and others making the decisions. 

 

In concluding, the Bills front office had earned its right to be trusted based on their outstanding performance. This team is poised to make a super bowl run and the front office absolutely deserves the accolades. 

Show me a front office that hasn't made mistakes.  Drafting is an art form not an exact science.

 

Where you need to look at the skill of our front office is with free agent acquisitions.  Their track record has been unbelievable.

 

Also, look at how the front office has managed the cap, keep current players , as well as signing productive free agents.

 

Our front office ROCKS!

TE Jelani Woods if he’s there in the 3rd.  The guy is a MONSTER. Huge and nasty. Would be a great redzone threat

Bean is allergic to offensive picks not named Josh Allen above the 3rd round. I swear he must call the Green Bay front office a lot cause this is exactly what they do with Aaron Rogers 

It's because elite defensive talent goes a lot quicker than offensive talent in the draft

 

We literally gave Allen two people who all pro'd in diggs and Beasley in pro personnel moves

 

We drafted him an athletic freak at tight end in Knox... And we've been building up the offensive line .. not to mention Gabe looks like a steal

 

Cuz we don't take a first round running back or wide receiver every year we're not helping him? The Packers don't even sign good free agents for Rodgers  

 

We build our offense through personnel moves and free agency mostly.. we build our defense through the draft

[Warriorspikes51]

Trade pick 57 + 203 + 2023 3rd to move up to SEA #40

 

40. HB Breece Hall

89. TE Jelani Woods

[NewEra]

If I had to guess, I’d say that we draft a safety, guard or LB.

 

This couch guy prefers a playmaker on O.  Hopefully he draft one in the 2nd or 3rd

[Warriorspikes51]

Trade 57 + 2023 3rd + Isaiah Hodgins

to NYG for #36

36. WR George Pickens

89. HB James Cook

 

add a couple Bulldogs

Cody Ford, Boogie Basham, and AJ Epenesa are 2nd round picks 

 

 

I would agree that it is not his best round - Basham is still too new but Ford looking like a bust and at best Epenesa is D-line rotational depth.

The drafting hasn't been great.  They stand out in almost all other categories.

I just wish they would learn to stop this trading up crap.  It's stupid.

 

But last night's move ultimately isn't enough to really get me worked up one way or the other.

I agree but it needs to bring home the Lombardi Trophy. That's the goal!  Thus far, they have fallen short.

RB Kenneth Walker would be cool if we don’t get Hall

I like cooks the S, and Ford the RB.

Have the Bills won a Super Bowl yet? When they do I’ll shut up about the front offices incompetence 

The two can co-exist. You can have very good management but never achieve the ultimate goal. Very good sometimes doesn't cut it. You do make a valid point about no super.bowl win. 

[Fred Slacks]

I am pretty unbiased on which CB we chose so long as it was addressed.  I figured if we didn't grab one in the 1st or 2nd round we would be signing a veteran this weekend.  I am glad we have a cost controlled contract on a rookie CB though with Tre already being signed to the big deal.

 

I have always thought our defense was 1 good cover CB away from being a legit defense.  Hopefully with our interior beef on DL and Von Miller/progress from young DE's it catapults us into being a scary defense.  I do feel like last year we were ranked better than we were on defense because of how poor our schedule was.  this year will be a better gauge on our ability on defense I think.

 

I realize depth at several positions may be a priority but I am of the mindset of more playmakers on offense too.  That puts us into scary opponent  territory.

Legit defense?  It makes me laugh when I read stuff like this. We were ranked number one this past season. And if you want to dismiss the ranking because of “who we faced”, fine. Either way, we were a top 5 unit. Don’t post things that aren’t true that the numbers don’t support.

Now that the drama is over with our 1st pick and addresses a significant need, do you think Beane holds at 57?  Would he make a move up for Hall. Otherwise, feel like he goes with BPA.

 

Thoughts?

I would not move up for Breece Hall.   No.

 

I like a bunch of possible players.  Don't care about the position. 

 

TE Trey McBride, OL Nickolas Petit-Frere, LB Chad Muma, SAF Nick Cross, SAF Jaquan Brisker, and CB Kyler Gordon if he is still on the board at 57. 

[Yantha]

Here are my top 25 heading into the second round:  Hoping for linebacker or WR

OR

Watch for Booth/Pitre to slip further...

OR

Hall or KWIII if one is still there.

UNDER THE LINE = "I'll settle for"

LB Nakobe Dean

LB Brian Asamoah

LB Troy Andersen

LB Leo Chenal
WR Skyy Moore

WR George Pickens

WR Jalen Tolbert

Hey Fred Slacks,

What you touch on makes sense.

We went from Levi Wallace to Kaiir Elam at corner.  We are better long-term.

We picked up Von Miller, Tim Settle, Daquan Jones, and Jordan Phillips while dumping Star and Vernon Butler.  We are better. 

Go Bills.

I get frustrated about how defense heavy our early picks are too…but I think part of it is that Josh was pretty young and so they tried to put vets around him on offense

 

Now that he is hitting year 5, hopefully they start investing more early picks on offense to surround Josh with talent. We will see tonight!

[FeelingOnYouboty]

Do not be surprised if it's Chad Muma-LB Wyoming.
