BCAS Baritone Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Ryan O'Halloran: Free-agent, cap situation means Brandon Beane has to get defensive in draft https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nfl/bills/ryan-ohalloran-free-agent-cap-situation-means-brandon-beane-has-to-get-defensive-in-draft/article_2992c608-ba1b-11ee-8957-5731c06753d8.html Quote Should they go defense, defense, defense in rounds 1-3? Yes. I hear about needing to add a receiver, but address that with a veteran. This should be a passing game that goes through Kincaid more than a second receiver, anyway. That doesn't seem to jibe with the general sentiment on this board. Please read the article first, then discuss. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read the article first, then discuss. Only disagreement is on that early WR pick. I think most on this board understand, and are even in favor, of a very heavy defensive draft given our needs on that side of the ball. I also agree with going Safety->DT->DE. Heck, I'd say Safety->DT->DE->Safety->DB->DT. After our WR pick tho. Edited January 24 by DrDawkinstein 7 10 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Kincaid is a great weapon that needs to be used more in the offense, but he's never going to be fast enough to fill that other hole we have on offense we need another guy. 5 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Dumb. A top safety or even CB or DT or DE will NOT impact the Bills chance of winning as much as a stud WR on a 5-year rookie contract. Josh throwing to a big, fast young WR is the single biggest difference this team can make going forward. We lack a "dangerous" player on this team and this is the draft to get a dangerous WR in the first round. Draft a CB or safety in the second but not the first. 5 14 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Probably makes sense, but they need to nail the WR position wherever they draft one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whorlnut Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I would probably become physically ill if they drafted defense in the first. That said…I don’t think it will happen. It’s time to build the offense around Allen. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I think I need to ask him who his dealer is. Because whatever he's smoking is good stuff. One, the Bills have invested draft capital on the defense. Off the top of my head, Rousseau, Dorian Williams, Elam and Bernard are all playing on rookie contracts. Oliver, TJ and Milano are homegrown players that we have retained which is a strong sign of healthy drafting and a functional front office, and I think there is a reasonable chance we retain Epenesa and Lawson (also a 1st round pick) in free agency Spector, Dane Jackson and Benford were excellent late round finds that have well outplayed their draft position and are either starters or key rotation pieces. Two, he clearly hasn't looked at the FA market for WR. You want to restock the defense? Good. I agree with you. But WR takes priority, and THEN worry about backfilling safety and D-line depth. 8 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) He is not the only guy saying that. Us fans mostly want a blue chip rookie WR but Daniel Jeremiah’s first mock has us taking an interior defensive line guy. DJ correctly called Spiller at 9 back in the day.

PBF81 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Sure, let's draft some more CBs, DEs, and LBs. Allen can overcome the seemingly consistent lack of WRs by running more. SMH 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one thing O'Halloran says about that: Quote From 2019-23, in rounds 1-4, the area where immediate starters are generally found, the Bills have drafted seven defensive players. Compare to that this weekend’s conference finalists: Detroit has 15, Baltimore 14, Kansas City 13 and San Francisco five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZBILLS Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Everyone is hell bent on a WR, which is incorrect and I'll be laughing when it fails. DEF all the way 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 WR in RD 1 please. They do need to address the defense as well. But they need another weapon for Allen to throw to. If Diggs really is starting to decline, then the WR pick becomes more important. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 FFS, stop believing what 99% of these talking heads say, it’s all just part of the NFL machine, to drum up more hype, it’s mostly BS, that you guys fall for this crap over and over is mind boggling..,, get a second hobby already…, GO BILLS!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
