He is the GM in all but name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Also, listening to Adunze, I can see why teams love him. He comes across as pretty sharp -- like, waaay smarter than your average NFL receiver: 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 30 minutes ago, LEBills said: I heard Simms a few weeks ago say that Brian Thomas Jr doesn't have a "squeaky clean" character profile. Doesn't sound like anything real bad but enough to be a concern. But if any character and/or injury concern pushes him down the board the Bills won't be the team to stop his fall. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I can only think of one—Ron Santo from the last century. Im sure you can do a google search and come up with a few more. I doubt more than 0.1% of pro athletes have type 1 DM. Mark Andrews TE Ravens and a couple other lesser players currently in the NFL. I don’t mean to downplay the disease and a player certainly can be impacted during a game. But they and the staff will have a very manageable plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Odunze is the ideal pick for the Bills. Unfortunately, he will not be available to us unless the Bills make a massive trade up in the draft to get him. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup said it for weeks he fits the character and work ethic the Bills prefer and probably want after the Diggs fiasco . To me he’s the safest WR in the class because you know you are getting a top notch intelligent human with drive and work ethic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he did it first and others followed him. Edited April 22 by Buffalo_Stampede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Now with potential character and injury concerns with Thomas (and character concerns with Mitchell), where does this leave us? Wondering if we draft a WR in the second round given that there may not be a WR with a first round grade left on our draft board.

I'll be happy, don't care if other folks bellyache. Then they should trade up and grab Legette in the second. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Just now, Dr. Who said: I think they take McConkey. I'll be happy, don't care if other folks bellyache. Then they should trade up and grab Legette in the second. I'm also very okay with McConkey as well. Its funny because we were in lockstep last year on Kincaid too when the vast majority was against that as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePJ76 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) This feels like a spot the bills can move back to. Hopefully some players fall that washington wants. If thomas has character concerns and a shoulder injury he probably falls a little. Would love to see the bills move back and have Two 2's and a three..(78).

If thomas has character concerns and a shoulder injury he probably falls a little. Would love to see the bills move back and have three 2's. I don't think that is a they will give up both 36 and 40 but just a they have the ammunition to get there because one of the top tackles might not be there at 36. I think this is correct, those last 10 picks of the first round are going to be filled with OT/OG selections imo. To make it worth the Bills while they might overpay by giving up either 67 or 78 but the Bills would probably have to give back 144 which I think both teams would be willing to do because its only a 4 point difference. That would leave Buffalo with 36 60 78 128 133 160 163 200 204 248 I'd expect Buffalo then to move around the board again with all of those picks to get another guy they want or two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i said in another thread trading back for 40 and and 78 and sending 28 and 144 essentially. So buffalo would have two 2's and a three. Not 3 2's as I stated earlier.

I think most other teams in that range would do the same as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
