Some Thoughts before Day 3

Maybe Hopkins is still in play. There are a few left in the draft they might be interested in. I don't think Tyler Scott makes it through the fourth. Maybe Xavier Hutchinson at 137. They liked Justin Shorter. He's a late pick or priority UDFA.

I do want if they draft a WR at 137 be a size speed guy.  I think Hutchinson will be gone.  But an A.T Perry at 6'4 200 with 4.4 speed grades out right there in my list.

I agree in terms of just getting to the 90 there will be more added in WR.  Now looking at the 53 this is how I see it right now (will take 6)

 

Diggs - Lock

Harty - On the Roster this year Min

Shakir - Lock

Davis - Lock

 

So Need 2 for the 53.  Sherfield likely one (but contract can move on from)

 

A Hopkins Trade fixes that 53 gap.  That is why I really think Not Drafting one in this draft early means they will be all in on a post draft trade.  

Agreed.   Maybe a WR is there today we like and the room makes more sense, but as of now, it looks like a purposeful omission when we go with Dorian Williams in RD3, as both KC and BAL drafted WR’s with premium picks.

 

I still think Hopkins makes sense for all three teams, but you’d think KC will want to get Skyy Moore and Rashee Rice on the field given two years of high pick investment, to go with Toney and MVS.

He's a project, but I've had my eye on Bryce Ford-Wheaton. Maybe you could get him in the sixth? I'm surprised they haven't taken a DT. They must really like Williams. I would have gone for Ika.

If you add Hopkins to the Bills that's a crazy talented set of weapons.

Greg Cosell liked Jones film.

 

Said he doesn’t have the greatest technique, but because of the sheer size it’s hard for anyone to get around him.

 

Considering he’s 6’8” 375 pounds, started a high-end D1 school, and the Bills supposedly have a great OLine Coach, and took a power player in Torrence at #59, the logical bet would be to take a chance on that player, before a backup OLB (Beane already said he’s outside to start). 
 

Furthermore, Spencer Brown has been awful at RT, allowing free pressure on Josh Allen. 
 

Build a wall in front of Allen, Bills got no value with Dorian Williams.

 

There are try-hard 228 pound converted-esque Safeties in every draft. 

 

 

 

Rumors are he’s dropping because his workouts were so bad, and his attitude so poor, that some teams literally took him off their board.  
 

Which, of course, means KC will draft him today and he’ll be a stud.

Can't decide between the laughing and angry emoji.

This might not make you too happy.  I have him as a 4th round grade and he is the 4th best WR on my list of best available. The 4 higher than him are 

 

Hutchinson

Wicks

Palmer

 

So If my grading is close he should be long gone before the 5th.  And my grade would support taking him with our 5th.  Fits that Size Speed want.  I didnt list him because I think he goes in the top end of the 4th round.

I'm going to hope he falls to 137 then. Thanks.

71 players with 2 more picks.  So will have 73 players.  Look for a UDFA class of 15-16 players (they like keeping 2 roster spots open post draft).  

 

Thin Position based on Historical 90 day roster build.

 

WR - Probably have 5 to 6 coming.  They have brought 13-15 to camp  We have 8 right now.

DBs - Probably need 3 to get to the historical avg.

OL - 2 more to get to historical 

RB - will get likely 2 more

 

I the Draft look for the Bigger Type RB that they still want on this roster.  I think if the 5th comes and Roschon Johnson is still there he will be the pick.  

 

So listening to Beane all offseason.   I think a DT, CB, WR and a Bigger RB will be the position groups for the next two picks if the value fits

 

There will be a good push for UDFA.
