Bc he is the smartest guy in the room. Rather gamble that one of these random hamlet, shorter, Hollins etc steps up so he can look like a genius than do what everyone knows they should do. Last year everyone knew we needed to grab Hopkins and he rolled with sherfield and harty. Season would have looked a lot different if he made the right and obvious move.

Shorter is still developing but I know we should throw him out with the bath water.

4. Beaux Limmer, C, Arkansas

5. Marcus Harris, DT, Auburn

6. Javion Cohen, IOL, Miami

7. Dallin Holker, TE, Colorado State

8. Cornelius Johnson, WR, Michigan

Leonard Taylor still on the board ??

Lions getting Mahogoney this late in the draft is nice for them

We have two picks left, we could take both but wouldn't be shocked if take a CB and WR.

Expand  

 

We aren't taking a Kicker, Bass is going to be the kicker of this team they signed him to a big extension last year. He had a bad year last year, let hope he rebounds

They should just take another WR. You never know so take a need position.

Expand  

At this rate Rice is just going to be available as an UNDFA.

[freester]

Could we take a punter here?

It's gonna be a tough road but could they not do:

Dawkins, Brown, Van Demark, Collins, Grable

McGovern, Torrence, Edwards, Van-Pran

 

With Collins having some flex to play guard too?

 

I know they signed Will Clapp and they have Doyle coming back from his 103rd injury but Beane could always do one of his fliperoos for a day 3 pick for one of those guys in camp. 

Expand  

Depends what they think of Alec Anderson, seemed high on him being a future backup across IOL

Or maybe he thinks Coleman and Samuel can just step in and replace Diggs/Davis? 

I was convinced he'd double dip wrs in the first 4 rounds. 

Expand  

That would fall under "incorrect evaluation of where his WR room is" in my view.

I think they had an unrealistic expectation of Davis after the notorious 13 second game.

I hope they aren't making the same mistake and thinking Shakir is the new Diggs. He does appear to be ascending, but that's a lot to ask.

 

Taken separately, I haven't hated any of the picks apart from Coleman, and my concern about Coleman is partly because I fear he has to be a big slot to succeed.

Maybe that's wrong. I sure hope he will be a solid boundary receiver X. If he's D Hopkins, it's a spectacular hit, but a lot of receivers with his profile bust or end up having to play in the slot, because they can't separate.

 

I thought that Beane said they wanted explosive receivers who separate, and so I find it amusing that when folks are exasperated at the pick, they are treated as if all they did was look at the forty time. The outrage is based on expectations Beane set up, not only in his comments, but by not investing in WR in prior drafts, then letting Davis walk (no loss, I think), and on top of that, trading Diggs and taking on a massive cap hit.

 

Anyway, good luck to him. Beane was either lying, delusional, or has an ace in the hole we don't know about. A trade or post 6/1 FA signing could explain it, and I hope it does.

You’d think the 49’ers out of the respect for Jerry would use a late rd pick on him 

Expand  

Have to guess he goes to the 49ers before the Bills pick so we can put that to rest.

Alec Anderson too. Like Gonzo said above if Grable can show enough versatility to cover both tackle spots maybe he can get one. But the Bills have two years invested in developing in RVD and Anderson.

Expand  

 

Ah yea forgot Anderson. I think they like him. Personally I wouldn't keep Collins, certainly not to play tackle, he just moves too slowly post all the injuries to play out there IMO. If they wanted to try him at guard I'd be fine with it. Unless Grable looks a mess in camp and pre-season they have to find a way to keep him IMO. Invest a year into developing him and give yourself a baseline option in case Brown walks.

frustrating watching all the kickers go

[khlax3]

This board:

 

Shorter sucks (pick 15 in round 5)

 

also this board 

 

We must take a wr at the end of round 6 or the draft is a bust! It’s comical

Why is that?

 

Bass isn't going anywhere.  Had a rough season, but isn't going to get cut.

“I can’t believe the (insert team) took that player in the 6th round right out from under us. That is who WE should have taken”

 

it’s the 6th round. Come on.

Practice squad player. Until he proves otherwise. You don’t avoid key contributors bc you have a practice squad guy.

Ryan Rekhow is interesting and probably draftable. Matthew Hayball as well. He’s a lefty.

Even better, young Hyde that hits better.

 

We have 2 Poyer replacements on the roster already with Rapp and Edwards.

Expand  

Hyde was much more of a ball hawk than Cole is. Cole only had 3 INT’s in college.
