I've heard a lot of talk about Campbell, but noticed that a lot of sites have him ranked behind Sanders as the #2 MLB prospect. Yet, I dont hear much hype about Sanders. They look to be about the same size. I'm up-front I don't follow college football, but look at who Zierlein lists as Sanders comparable: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/drew-sanders/32005341-4e29-0589-5c62-ee6a75833b2f Here's Zierlein on Jack Campbell https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jack-campbell/32004341-4d36-4731-433d-b35acfc680bc What I get out of that is, Sanders has shown more ability to rush the passer through the gaps AND as an edge rusher, can play sideline-to-sideline, but may need development in coverage and in run defense and tackling; Campbell is the better defender in zone coverage and run defense but has not shown pass rush chops? Not that Zierlein is definitive, but often when I watch a player in the pros for a couple years and then go back and read his "strengths" and "weaknesses" I find myself nodding.

LABILLBACKER Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I don't mind trading back into the 2nd for Sanders, but the next 3 picks better be offense. I don't trust our DL scouts at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Drew Sanders isn't a good scheme fit for us (reminds me of Troy Anderson who the Falcons drafted last year) If he's the best available LB at #27, I'd rather take the best offensive lineman available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just not sure a player who’s a hybrid SAM/EDGE is going to solve the middle linebacker conundrum. I agree. He’s been more of an edge rusher and a good one. But not been in the coverage aspects of the D much. If we had the mike solved already he’d been a great add. But I think Campbell Henley Willams are a better fit. 12 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: Getting to that point where we are getting full 7 round mocks now https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/draft2023/insider/story/_/id/35958143/2023-nfl-mock-draft-jordan-reid-seven-round-predictions-259-picks: Bills choices for those without ESPN+: 1.

Richard Noggin Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 10 hours ago, Shanahan's Horseshoe said: I’d be thrilled with that other than not grabbing an OT earlier. Drew Sanders fits exactly what we want for an MLB. He’s way more athletic than Campbell and is a really good pass rusher. Young in the 3rd is a great value too. Bama DL stick around this league forever. Smith is similar to Rapp and was the heart of the UGA defense. Again, I’d rather grab a OT in the 2nd Campbell's short shuttle and 3-cone were effing spectacular, weren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcam2012 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 12 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: Agreed this would be completely on-brand. And the Bills are a year away from having no DTs under contract and probably also moving on from one or both safeties and Tre White. Doubtful Epinesa gets a second contract here so you’ve got a hole there too. Another defense-heavy draft should not be a surprise. That's not ideal in my book. I think the offense should be top priority this year. Let the defense fall where it falls. Let McD work his magic and earn his pay. I have little faith this organization can formulate and draft a very good defensive front line. They have numerous failed years despite constant picks ups and drafts picks. I very much want this team to invest heavily on the offense. More weapons and better protection. Give Allen the best opportunity to win. I'd rather have the game on the line with Allen having the ball vs the defense having to make a stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the issues with being a team that drafts for need is that defense is the matchup side of the ball..........you can always find areas on defense where it seems like you don't matchup with certain teams. On offense it is easy to rationalize that you don't need matchup winners if you have a great QB. That's what the Bills have been saying without saying it aloud the past two seasons. They gotta' change that..........they do need better talent on offense and it showed in the second half of last season and was a glaring issue in their playoff loss. But some drafts just don't align where the best talent is where you need it. They should go BPA at a premium position early regardless of the side of the ball........OR they should utilize draft capital to trade for proven commodities on offense. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I doubt they go defense for all of the high round picks - but it wouldn't disappoint me to see a few picks go toward the D. We need a LB, and we need a better pass rush. I don't expect them to stand pat on the O-line. We added 2 good guards, which is great. I think they are penciling Brown in at RT, and obviously Morse & Dawkins' positions are set right now. Really, all they have to do in the draft is find a swing tackle who can compete w/ Brown. 2nd or 3rd round probably works for getting a good player who could potentially start right away if needed. Beane has also talked about the depth in this draft at the TE position, so I could see another pick in the 1st rounds going that way - but otherwise I'm fine w/ mostly defense.
