Bills Are On The Clock at 27 (Calling all draft connoisseurs, provocateurs, saboteurs)

[Kaenon]

I chose Other.

I've selected Antonio Johnson, Safety out of Texas A&M.  Why? Aside from being an Aggies fan we need a new playmaker and presence out there. Poyer will be gone, Hyde returning from surgery, not sure on Hamlin.

I disagree that Torrence is the # 1 IOL in the draft. I believe that Skoronski is a Guard in the NFL and would be an excellent fit as a Bill as a Guard. 
 

I think from a fit standpoint at WR I’d go with Jalin Hyatt. The Bills need a burner opposite of Davis. I’d like to see Diggs moved into the slot especially as he ages to maximize his time left. I also think Diggs going in the slot will help Allen get back to throwing the short to intermediate passes that this team lost. Not sure I’d take Hyatt at 27 but wouldn’t get frustrated by it 

 

Agree with all of this post (wouldn't be against Hyatt at #27 although wouldn't be my ideal choice). 

 

But particularly agree with the bolded. Skoronski reminds me of Zack Martin. A college tackle with a great combination of power and technique but less than ideal length to play outside in the NFL who could be a multiple all pro at guard and therefore is the rare interior player you can justify a 1st on.

I think Hyatt is at high risk of busting. I would not draft him.

I don’t necessarily disagree that he has a much lower floor but man the upside is tantalizing 

[iccrewman112]

With all the players listed being “available” I would move back 5-6 spots, as I would be happy with at least 8 of those players listed.

O'cyrus Torrence

 

plug and play RG, let bates go back to LG where he excelled

Agree with Skoronski projecting as a guard (with I would assume some tackle and center versatility) and would be an excellent pick. As a pretty much day one starter and maybe the first o-line off the board I wonder whether he will be there at 27. I know he has been mocked as late as the early second.

Yes, we really do need another first round defensive back. That would really help Josh out and the Bills have proven this to be a golden road to winning Superbowls.

 

I know we don't.  You commented before I edited my post.  

 

Anything on defense is probably going to be a waste but I think it will still happen.

My friend, I called all connoisseurs, provocateurs and saboteurs, you are all three!

I went with Addison; just think he's the best of all those WRs. Was tempted by the OLine guys as well.

Yeah a 1st round safety is what I expect out of McDermott and if he does pick one he should be fired imo.

I kind of feel like Addison and JSN will be gone although I admit that there is a reasonable chance that they’re there.

 

I went with Jalin Hyatt. I love Flowers too but he is undersized and that worries me. Could be the next Tyreke Hill or he could be a total bust. Hyatt has nice size and elite speed and wonderful production last year. Ultimately though I’d roll the dice on either.

[RiotAct]

Best undersized defensive lineman available.

[John from Riverside]

I picked Bijan Robinson but I don’t expect him to be on the board when we pick at 27
 

My very next pic if we were lucky enough to get Robinson would be a lineman that can both run block and passprotect well

 

In my real world scenario, Bijan Robinson is not on the board and we take the best available lineman

[LyndonvilleBill]

I picked Other. Sometimes you just got to be different. 😁

 

DAWAND JONES. (BIG LETTERS for a BIG guy).

 

LT, put Dawkins at LG.

RT, put Brown at RG. I know where my RB would be going.😉

 

Could be interesting.

Yup, or it’ll be a safety or an undersized LB, you watch.

So Brandon has literally done that one time since he has been here the rest of those first round picks have all been athletic freaks with the correct size weight combo
 

I don’t think it’s a trend that Brandon takes small players

Would you be willing to consider a DT shaped defensive end who is primed to go on a 5 year body reshaping program? 
 

or maybe there is a future HoFer another team can use the bills pick to draft.

I’m open to that, yes.

Those are all good choices, but as far as JSN is concerned, I don’t think it’s too far fetched to think that he could be there. Weirder things have happened. It’s not like your mocking a top 5 talent to be there, although the talent differential between a top 5 player and a top 25-30 player isn’t as linear as some may think. It’s a lot more abstract given time I think.

Not to mention the guy pegged to go at 5 may prove to be substantially WORSE than the guy who goes at 27.

 

Stuff like that happens every year.  "Ranking" is a suggestion.

Didn't know we were on a first name basis with the GM.

Obviously, since free agency comes first , this exercise is nearly futile, no matter how much fun it might be.
