TSW 2.0 Poll - Who should the Bills draft at 41?

Edited April 13 by Virgil

Trade down again!

[NeverOutNick]

Troy Franklin for the win baby 🥳 

[Virgil]

Sorry, had issues posting this.  All 10 options are up.  

 

This might be the first poll where I'll be angry if my guy doesn't win the vote.  Big thanks to @H2ofor making this poll easier 😜

We implemented a rule of only one trade down per pick.  Also, we just don't really have the time.  

There's also definitely some great options at 41.

[DrDawkinstein]

We lost out on (almost) all the top WR talent with the previous trade down. Need to suck it up and go get Franklin while we still can.

[qwksilver]

@Virgil I believe DT Darius Robinson was selected??

[MrEpsYtown]

Franklin and Coleman are so different to me. I picked Franklin because I can visualize him making a lot of plays in our offense. With Coleman I visualize like a better Gabe Davis, which to me is probably not enough. But I like them both. 

[NickelCity]

Franklin for sure. 

[LEBills]

Trade down and Franklin falling into our laps is the perfect scenario

[JerseyBills]

Franklin . if our 1st rd WR target isn't there in rd 1

[BuffaloBillyG]

Franklin will likely win the popular vote here, and perhaps that's the right move. He's a solid player IMO. It's a pick that makes the most sense based on our needs and is a good fit. 

 

My vote however went to T'Vondre Sweat. I can't fight my built in desire to build in the trenches at all times, and this is one big meaty man to put in the middle. 

 

If we could somehow come out of this round with both Franklin and Sweat I'd be really happy about that 

[Westside]

How did the bills get pick no 41? What was the trade?

[Motorin']

There are more 2nd round wr's that could be in play here. Ja'Lynn Polk for one.

I suppose we could try to trade up from 58 into the 45 range. There is a cluster of defensive linemen still available at the moment.

Could also make a smaller less costly jump in the real draft. Swipe Sweat or one of the other DL) here. See how the board falls and jump from 58 to the low  to mid 50s unless a WR run starts. 

 

Would be interesting to see what Beane would do in the real draft if this scenario played out 

[HappyDays]

I vote Coleman even though I know he has no chance of winning. I really like Franklin but I can't help but think about all our recent playoff losses where our small-ish WRs have gotten pushed around by physical DBs. I want to make that a point of emphasis in this draft.

 

If this scenario played out in the real draft I would love to take Coleman here then trade up for Franklin. Entirely avoid having to make the difficult choice.

And worst yet Coleman is likely best suited for the slot position at the next level 

[stinky finger]

I don’t like how this fell.

 

Therefore, give me the best safety.

You are correct.  I removed him, thank you.  
 

It’s funny, because I thought that as I put him in the poll and checked the draft twice.  I missed it both times apparently

Franklin is 6’2 but he has the frame to add some size and muscle. My guess is that he would top out close to 190 which is totally fine 

[Kirby Jackson]

Franklin

[Big Blitz]

It’s Franklin.  Run to the podium Virgil!  
 

Lock it up.

Yeah,  which means that the Bills would be drafting him to fill a similar role as Kincaid.

I’m going to give it another hour or so, but it does appear to be that way 

[NewEra]

Easiest pick ever.  Franklin

[Virgil]

Poll will close at 2p.  Still one of our fastest polls 

[ROCBillsBeliever]

I went Franklin because if there is a chance to double-dip at WR, there's not another player left with his skillset. Also, I think Coleman falls further than Franklin would, so there's still a slight chance to trade up for Coleman.

Have any of the boards picks ever been picked by the Bills?

[mrags]

Voted Franklin and it’s not even close. But I will add what some others have said, we should attempt to trade up to about 50 if Sweat is still there. Since this poll is ending and the draft will continue, maybe while people are still making their picks, put a new poll out there asking this very thing. I don’t know what the trade chart value is to move from 58 to 50. But whatever that value is, should be polled if we should do it.

It’s roughly 80 points on the chart. A 4 and a 5.

I’d offer a little less and see if it can get done. But I’d do it regardless. We did get those 2 extra picks out of our trade back from 28, so that helps a little. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Who’s the funny guy that picked Benson? You trying to start a riot?

[MJS]

Dang, I sure hope if we trade down in real life that we can still get Xavier Legette. If we will miss out on him I'd rather just stay and pick him at 28.

[H2o]

I took Legette for the Commanders because I think the guy is gonna be a beast. I also think the style of offense Kingsbury wants to run warrants the selection. Lastly, I took Legette to let those who were hoping to say "I told you so" about the trade back bask in their utter disappointment. So they would cuss at the monitor or the screen in their hands because the team in front of the Bills took who many of them were hoping to get. 

 

Now people have to reason within themselves and come up with an explanation as to why they believe in Franklin. It's kind of comical actually. This isn't knocking those who truly believe in Franklin, that he could be a difference maker. This is a dig at those now trying to act like he would be perfect for this team due to nothing other than a number on a selection card. 

 

P.S. ~ I voted to take Franklin here as well, and don't think the perceived sub-par Combine outweighs what you see from him on the game tape. But all of you know, because I have said it time and time again, Legette is my guy.

You!

 

Actually, I think it is completely reasonable that he will be gone if we trade down that far. I'd rather trade down with Arizona. Legette is more likely to be there if we trade down. Trading down into the 40's is way too risky.

[Victory Formation]

You can’t go wrong with Franklin here.

Ed Oliver for certain.  
 

I can’t remember anyone besides that, but doesn’t mean we haven’t

Even though one might guess your name to be Richard, everything was true....or a very possible reality.

I got here too late to vote but would have voted for Franklin. I want nothing to do with Coleman and will be disappointed if the Bills take him with their first pick whether that's the first round or the second. He can't separate and is just a high-point specialist with average speed. He's not the WR that this offense needs.

Running back is a real need for the Bills IMO
