Bills Drafting LB 1st Round Aren’t They?


Recommended Posts

  • seandelevan changed the title to Bills Drafting LB 1st Round Aren’t They?

They will take the BPA that fits a need.  Hopefully, they will take an offensive playmaker at 27.  Personally I would love Bijan Robinson as I think between him and Cook we could run a bunch of two back sets which is a formation the Bills never run and creates mismatches for defenses.  Both can catch very well...could be a dynamic that moves the offense up significantly.

Other than an offensive playmaker we need to draft at least 1 starting O linemen in the first 3 rounds.

I agree. But I have been saying that every year for 4 years now….only to sit here and watch them draft DT, DE, and DB…I don’t see them changing. They do what they know and that’s what they know. Defense.

If people watch college football, and they also take time to look at some of the scouting tape breakdowns of the way Bijan Robinson runs through non-existent holes, they would realize Bijan is BPA at 27.   I can't think of any WR or DE or LB that will be available at pick 27 that would be better. 

Taking a running back?  Wouldn't draft one, other than Bijan, until the 4th round.   I like RB Roschon Johnson, Bijan's running mate.   Roschon is a big back, and worth a 4th round pick, IMHO.

Offensive line.  YES.   In the 2nd round grab one:   Steve Avila, Joe Tippmann, John Michael Schmitz, or Cody Mauch.

Bills do have to get a WR in round 2 or 3. They need a WR on an entry level deal because they wont be able to resign Big Game Gabe who will probably get 15-16 mill a year.

I'm definitely onboard getting an offensive weapon in the 1st whether it's an RB or a WR and then in the 2nd and 3rd rounds look for those offensive linemen. No need to spend a 1st on an o-lineman unless it's a sure shot brick wall because I'm still snakebitten from that asshole Mike Williams. The rest of the draft we can go BPA for the rest of our needs.

God, I hope, not when there should be a good OL that falls, and a good WR, not to mention a guy that I really like in Dalton Kincaid, who is considered a TE but is more like a TE/WR mismatch guy. They'll use the excuse that an ILB will come in and be able to play right away, which is true, but they can get that kind of guy even in the third round nowadays. I'm even fine if they want to do that in the 2nd round, but the 1st is just nuts, it's the Packer's philosophy, we have the QB now let's just get filler for the offense and go in and have a top defense, but that defense has looked like dog shit the last three years in the playoffs, with the exception of the Ravens wind assisted game.

Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa
Height: 6-5. Weight: 249. Arm: 31.88. Hand: 10.25.
Official 40 Time: 4.65.
Projected Round (2023): 1-3.

 

2/18/23: In 2022, Campbell collected 125 tackles, one pass broken up, one sack, one forced fumble, and a superb interception off of C.J. Stroud. Team sources like Campbell and think he will go in the first three rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft. They call him a taller version of Chad Muma.

7/8/22: Campbell was a tackling machine for the Hawkeyes in 2021 with 140 tackles, a sack, one forced fumble, two interceptions and five passes defensed. He is a large linebacker with the height and size to function in the tackle box. If Campbell covers well, he could rise.

 

Wanted Bills to take Muma last year so Campbell at 27 makes too much sense.

Grab Rice in the 2nd.

 

 

 Rashee Rice, WR, SMU
Height: 6-1. Weight: 204. Arm: 32.75. Hand: 9.5.
Official 40 Time: 4.51.
Projected Round (2023): 2-3.


3/11/23: Rice hauled in 96 catches for 1,355 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022. He has a quality skill set to serve as a secondary receiver in the NFL.
6/23/22: Rice was a solid receiver for the Mustangs during the past three seasons. In 2021, he notched 64 catches for 670 yards and nine touchdowns. In 2020 (48-683-5) and 2019 (25-403-1), he contributed too. It would help Rice to have a big season and impress at an all-star game.

Daryls, in your expert opinion, how much do you think a 2nd or 3rd round drafted WR will help a contending team like the Bills in his rookie year?

I would not think they would start but they can slowly move into Big Game Gabe's spot as Bills won't be able to resign him. Potential WR in round 2 for Bills:  Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee, Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss Kayshon Boutte*, WR, LSU Rashee Rice, WR, SMU or Josh Downs*, WR, North Carolina

Which one is really really really fast? Speed burner who can blow off the top of a defence?  Game changer?  Speed Demon?

Is there a very very very tall WR possession guy who we need in the red zone? 

This is the type of shit that was being discussed at The Range 20 years ago.

Pretty sure it was talked about all the way back to when we had Eric Moulds (good WR and shitty human being in terms of paying Child Support).

The Bills drafted Hardy — BUST

The Bills drafted Goodwin — BUST

The Bills made a trade with the Panthers — BUST

The Bills drafted the possession guy who set the record for reception yards in college — BUST

Daryls, are trying to get Beane fired?

I understand Kim likes him.

Running back I don’t feel is a main problem. Singletary averages 4.7 ypc  ,  only thing is our OC for the last few years only give the backfield 6-15 carries, not enough to wear defenses out , and hard for rb to really get into rhythm

Agreed.
