Your choice as of today, for Pick #27, limited to players who are likely available to select?

Jack Campbell?   So in a league built upon speed, in a D that stresses speed, at a spot where often only 2 guys are playing, the idea is to go with a throwback slow LB?  This guy maybe makes sense in a 3-4 system, where fast OLBs can mask his inability to cover ground, but with a team whose base is a modified nickel this just doesn’t make sense.  
 

Campbell is not slow. In fact he is fast.

Hyatt, Harrison, Simpson would by my 1,2,3 I think. And I will stack them in that order. 

 

But my #1 option would be Trade Back.

I really don't like the options. Personally, I still think Dalton Kincaid is better as an offensive threat than any of the wrs likely to be available at 27, so I would consider him if he's there. Otherwise, this is a trade back year if you can get a decent return.

this is fantasy, but it seems to hit some needs:

I am all aboard the Zay Flowers at #27 bandwagon.
 

That said, if the Bills wait until the later rounds to draft a WR, I like Charlie Jones as a target. Has enough speed and agility to compete and was always a heady player. Very underutilized at Iowa and has himself a breakout season when featured at Purdue.

Flowers is small but he looks pretty special. I think he'd be a great addition to the Bills. I don't see him being available at pick 27.

Jalen Hyatt has been my guy during this entire process but if he’s not there Dalton Kincaid is my second option.

Now knowing this front office it’s going to be Nolan Smith from Georgia as Beane loves his defensive ends and can’t help himself with dline picks.

Well the guy he’s replacing had 4.54 speed.  And from what I’ve read, Campbell wasn’t a sideline to sideline guy and it showed….in the Big Ten West.  And as much as I love the Big Ten, I think most of us are fast by Iowa, NU, UW, Minn etc standards.

what you read is superceded by what can be measured. And the fact is Campbell is faster than any LB the Bills have now.

That is logical.  This seems like a good draft for TEs.

@GunnerBill I noticed you chose Hyatt- just wondering the pros you see in Hyatt.  Speed, not a midget.  What else?

I'm looking into late round WR draft prospects that might be a bit "buried" on the depth charts due to exceptional talent ahead of them.  Also looking at the typical "top" schools, with high end competition.

 

Kearis Jackson, Georgia - Priority UDFA

Ronnie Bell, Michigan - Possible 6th rounder

Cedric Tillman, Tennessee - Possible 4th rounder

Tillman looks great. 
 

look into:

Palmer from Nebraska

Ford-Weaton from West Virginia 

Hutchinson from Iowa St

Almost 100% agree, because in the right trade, it seems you could still get one of those three and something else. I prefer Campbell to Simpson though.

He’s not gonna be there but it’s Wright.  Passing up on 5 years of a stud OT on a rookie salary would be criminal.  Then again Beane is drafting 

[Victory Formation]

Jalin Hyatt or Dawand Jones.

[Orlando Tim]

I want a tackle to be the BPA but I don't know crap about college OL talent. I picked Simpson because I have seen him play well, I did not watch enough of Campbell to be confident.

Gotta say this is a moronic comment. Do stop watches run slower in Iowa?  Do rulers measure differently in Iowa?

 

This guy has a good 40 time and elite explosion numbers. 
 

Im not saying this guy is as good as Brian Urlacher, but he’s similar size with BETTER testing numbers.

Note—Im not making this comp because they’re both white guys. Im making this comp because they are both tall athletic MLB, and Urlacher was the prototype for ideal MLB in a Cover 2.

Zay Flowers?!  So a cross between Zay Jones and Erik Flowers?  Hard pass.

4.54 speed, but subpar instincts. Campbell has 4.65 speed, elite short area quickness, and excellent instincts.

Actually the knock on him is that he’s very reactive and doesn’t attack. Very similar to what Edmunds did. 
 

maybe it’s just me but I want a MLB that wants to take peoples lives out there. Not tackle them 5 yards downfield.

so far the consensus is that 75%+ of people will be annoyed. This seems about right
