Who should the Bills draft at #58?

Edited April 15 by Virgil

[Victory Formation]

Is Michael Hall Jr available? The DT from OSU?

 

Calen Bullock, S, USC

Patrick Paul, OT, Houston

Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin 

Cole Bishop, S, Utah

The way this draft has played out has not gone well for the Bills.

[HappyDays]

Out of this list I'm taking Kingsley Suamataia. This draft is strong at OT so we should try to spend a top 100 pick on one if possible. He also jumps out as someone that probably could have gone 20 picks higher and no one would have batted an eye. He is raw but has great physical traits (9.35 RAS score) and doesn't have to be rushed into a starting role. Ideally he would take over for Spencer Brown in 2025, meaning we would get a comp pick back for Brown and spend his cap space on more meaningful positions. Theoretically it's a good pick for value and long term team building.

I added in a few of them.  I don't want to list more than 3 per position.  I added those with 2nd round grades via CBS or ESPN

 

 

 

I'm going Javon Bullard, S, Georgia here.  ESPN's highest rated safety, BPA and position of need.  Win win

No worries, you had a great list initially just thought I’d add some food for thought.

Safety is a big need. So I went with Bullard from GA. Somehow if they trade our RT Brown then who knows.

I suspect he'll win the poll because everyone knows safety is a need. I just personally have no interest in drafting a safety anywhere in the top 75 picks. It's too easy to find good players at that position later in the draft. Especially in McDermott's defense we don't need studs at the position, just smart players that can learn the defense and stick to their zones.

I went with Michael Hall Jr.. Perfect player to back up Oliver at that 3T spot and we can pair him up with Ed inside on passing downs. I think we can find depth at safety and OL in RD 4-5.

Hall is a reasonable pick on talent alone. I've heard he has character concerns so I'm not sure the Bills would consider him.

I would typically with you on another team, but S feels to be the captain position that McD likes to target.  Hyde and White started this D, and I think they are slightly more important in our system.  
 

So if we can land the top safety in the draft after getting our WR, I’ll take it.

I went Hall, he is a really good fit. Otherwise I would have gone Patrick Paul. I think he is much better than the BYU tackle. JMO

This is exactly the right idea. Him or Christian Hayes would be my choice as both help JA. Haynes has a more direct path to playing time this year but OT is a more valuable position than Guard and I’m still skeptical Brown will play well consistently going forward. Insurance for 2024 and beyond would be a good idea.

Wanted to go with Kam Kichens because Beane was just saying they are trying to look past measurable onto tape…he ran poorly, but has been a dude…still a reach.  Kind of hate this trade  back scenario

What type of DT is Hall and how does he fit into this defense?

3 tech, Oliver’s backup

[H2o]

Bralen Trice should be added, maybe?

 

He didn't show well at the Combine really, but he had 8 sacks and an insane 53 QB pressures.

Yepa 3 tech who is a penetrating 1 gap player. Like Oliver he is undersized, not as explosive, but he makes plays and is very good with his hands.

Yeah, to me, I don’t want depth with a 2nd round pick.  Round 4 and beyond, sure. 
 

I want starters in rounds 1-3

Yeah, I see it now. With all of the trades and whatnot, I missed it.
