NFL Draft 1st Round Thread

[DraftBoy]

Let's get this party started!

Mary Kay Cabot is reporting that it's official that the Browns are taking Myles Garret at #1 overall per multiple sources.

49ers have received calls for the #2 pick from three teams in the Top 10.

Ole Miss TE Evan Engram is getting some late 1st Round lover per Rapoport.

[DraftBoy]

La Canfora is reporting that based on his calls that he is becoming convinced that CB Gareon Conley will be drafted in Round 1 despite the rape allegation.

That's Skooby calling to have the Bills select Fournette

[Night Train]

Stay at #10 - Foster or Reddick at OLB

Trade down - wide open. Then you have multiple options to fill needs at multiple positions.

I'm actually wide open on many players in this draft, so I'm not going to freak if we don't pick a specific 1 or 2 players. So much talent.

[DraftBoy]

Stay at #10 - Foster or Reddick at OLB

I just don't see it with Reddick.

3 teams in the top 10 looking to move up is a little surprising. My guess would be Carolina, San Diego, and maybe the Jets? I think it's safe to say that Buffalo isn't looking to move up, and Tennessee has been reported as trying to move back from #5. I can't see Cincy looking to move up either. That just leaves Chicago and Jax. Maybe Jax is looking to move up a couple spots just to make sure no one jumps ahead and takes Fournetter or a qb they want.

[YardRat]

Woo-hooooo! Looking forward to some trade action, hopefully us moving down and getting picks, not up and losing them.

[cookie G]

I just don't see it with Reddick.

And with Foster?

The guy just had rotator cuff surgery in Feb. Espn Insider rumors that he may need another. ( I know, I know, his agent said he's ahead of schedule.)

He's had 2 confirmed concussions at Bama.

These health concerns don't even get into the diluted test sample or getting kicked out of the Combine.

If I'm rolling the dice at pick 10 with someone, its not going to be a LB.

I'm staying away from anybody with chronic injury red flags (Lattimore, Williams, Davis, etc)

I started at 10:00 AM.

I can't wait for the Bills to draft in the 1st round the B.A.T.R.C.B. -- Best Available Third Round Corner Back.

mmhmm, especially if the philosphy is this Day 1 Contributor/Sure Thing on Defense routine.

Its actually been pretty tough this year, there are so many. I think one GM said he'd never seen this many medical red flags in round 1 before.

PS..Jonathan Allen is another...shoulders....

[cookie G]

Christ, why do you hate the disabled?

Im sorry...I'm out of clever combacks for this.

Very valid points.

[jamze132]

Why don't we take McCaffrey? He could be our Wes Welker...

[DraftBoy]

If McCaffrey is still on the board when we pick we will likely have multiple suitors as trade down options at 10.

[ICRockets]

These health concerns don't even get into the diluted test sample


Uh. I think you mean CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL URINE.

[feldspar]

Im sorry...I'm out of clever combacks for this.

You should have went with the old "Spiked is just sensitive because he is MENTALLY disabled" quip.

Cannot really go wrong with that one...

[Night Train]

So most everyone available to us tonight is an injury concern ? People get hurt playing football ?

[djjimkelly]

Uh. I think you mean CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL URINE.

im on my pre summer cycle as we speak dont knock it till you try it :)

[djjimkelly]

deshaun watson is gonna be a huge bust


NO QB NO RB in first round ill be fine with anything else

[YardRat]

Garrett #1 overall, no surprise there.

[Ed]

Bears move up one spot. Wow.

[BillsImpossible]

Uh oh, Trubisky is still on the board....

[YardRat]

Whoa...Bears move up one spot

[The Jokeman]

Agreed especially with our GM seemingly having an eye for finding LBs.

[Ed]

I don't really understand the love for Soloman Thomas when you could just stay at #3 and take Jamal Adams. Maybe the best player and fills a huge need.

[BillsImpossible]

DAAAA' Bears.

What did they give up to move up 1 freaking spot?

[YardRat]

Paid dearly for that move. Sheee-it.

[Ed]

oh my god, they gave up 3 extra picks to move up one spot????

- - - Updated - - -

Trubisky is gone! Thank god!

[YardRat]

OHHHH! There goes Trubisky!!

[djjimkelly]

trubisky good name for chicago i think this is gonna a solid pick for them

[BillsImpossible]

3rd rounder this year, and a 3rd and a 4th next year for Trubisky.

The Polish Rifle is in Chicago.

Fits.

[Ed]

Why the hell did they give Glennon $14 mil per season? The Bears are a **** show.

[Turf]

Wow, Chicago is stupid.

[cookie G]

from the bench to 2nd pick in the draft in a year...

the NFL Powerball

[The Jokeman]

Indeed hopefully the 49ers now take DeShaun or he falls to us and someone wants to leap frog the Browns for him.

[Ed]

I really don't understand why people like Trubisky.

[Scumbag College]

One bullet dodged for the Bills.

[Turf]

Someone in SF sold them a bunch of BS. Did Whaley get hired in Chicago?

[YardRat]

SF has to go Thomas or Adams

[BillsImpossible]

Fournette or Adams to San Fran?

[SpikedLemonade]

from the bench to 2nd pick in the draft in a year...

the NFL Powerball

Absolute stupidity

[Ed]

SF gets the player they wanted all along and three extra picks. Amazing. Why can't the Bills ever get this lucky.

[Turf]

SF just made Chicago look like a bunch of monkeys.

[YardRat]

lol...three picks in and San Fran has already had a great draft.

[Night Train]

The Chicago draft party fans - pissed - LOL

[kgun12]

I really don't understand why people like Trubisky.

Ask that question in 3 years.

[Ed]

I really really hope that Jax takes Watson right now.

[YardRat]

Jags didn't waste any time.

[cookie G]

Absolute stupidity

They should have drafted a cornerback...

Fans of teams with a 17 year playoff drought shouldn't throw stones.

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

SF gets the player they wanted all along and three extra picks. Amazing. Why can't the Bills ever get this lucky.

they did in 2013.... we traded back, still got our guy and got an extra pick..... too bad it was the wrong person

[Ed]

Ask that question in 3 years.
Will do.

[Ed]

they did in 2013.... we traded back, still got our guy and got an extra pick..... too bad it was the wrong person
Yeah, but they didn't get multiple picks for moving back one spot. That's pretty crazy.

[YardRat]

Fournette's a Jag

[Ed]

Jags have picked in the top 5 six years in a row. What a garbage franchise. I like the Fournette pick though.

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

thank God we can't pick him. Now I have to hope we avoid McCaffrey now too.

[YardRat]

Tennessee is milking it...a trade?

[BillsImpossible]

Why the hell did they give Glennon $14 mil per season? The Bears are a **** show.

Bears fans have to be going nuts right now.

I'd be pissed with that move.

Trubisky will likely not start a single game in 2017.

Glennon is a 6'6 trebuchet.

[Turf]

wow

[YardRat]

WR Davis to Titans.

QB Watson to NYJets?

[BillsImpossible]

Corey Davis off the board!

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

WR Davis to Titans.

QB Watson to NYJets?

God I hope so

[The Jokeman]

WR Davis to Titans.
QB Watson to NYJets?

Or the LSU Safety.

[Scumbag College]

Didn't see WR being picked until at least 10.

[djjimkelly]

i want the jets to take deshaun watson

[Night Train]

Remember all those players I was told we had "NO CHANCE" at ?

They are falling to us.

[BillsImpossible]

Right after Corey Davis was picked, a very loud rumble of thunder erupted in the skies of Cheektavegas.

Seriously, happened the moment it was announced.

Fournette is off the board, Davis is off the board, Adams is gone to the Jets.

I thinks it's Howard or Lattimore.

I want OJ Howard.

[YardRat]

****!

[SpikedLemonade]

8:55 PM -- SPIKE is officially calling this....

The Bills will be drafting a CB.

[YardRat]

Watson is going to drop to us....please trade out...pretty please.

[The Jokeman]

Right after Corey Davis was picked, a very loud rumble of thunder erupted in the skies of Cheektavegas.

Seriously, happened the moment it was announced.

Fournette is off the board, Davis is off the board, Adams is gone to the Jets.

I thinks it's Howard or Lattimore.

I want OJ Howard.

Howard should be there if the teams drafting stay put.

[BillsImpossible]

Cleveland is trying to trade of Kirk Cousins.

[psubills62]

What is Jacksonville going to do with TJ Yeldon? Thought he was pretty good, though I haven't paid that much attention.

[YardRat]

Chargers = Hooker or OJ?

[Night Train]

Howard should be there if the teams drafting stay put.

What would we do with him ? Our QB is allergic to the TE position.

[Turf]

Cleveland is trying to trade of Kirk Cousins.

Maybe we can take him and they give us their other 1st. Hell, Ill throw in a 5th.

[Night Train]

Outstanding ! We will get a good player or a good trade opportunity.

Win Win

[Turf]

**** there's some talent left out here. I did like Williams though.

[tomz]

Mike Williams gone. Whoa. Secondary highly possible. Hoping for Hooker.

[YardRat]

lol at dude rocking Bills cap at Williams' house

[Mace]

8:55 PM -- SPIKE is officially calling this....

The Bills will be drafting a CB.

Kizer, I just know it.

[Scumbag College]

No more Clemson WRs in Buffalo...

[ParanoidAndroid]

Value WR's off the board

[psubills62]

I did not see two wide receivers going in the top 7.

[djjimkelly]

we are taking one the alabama players is my prediction

[tomz]

Carolina getting up there quickly...

[ParanoidAndroid]

Quick turn in for Carolina. Clock is off.

[BillsImpossible]

Kizer, I just know it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[djjimkelly]

Kizer, I just know it.

my fan card might get turned in if that happens

it would be my biggest nightmare along with watson

[Scumbag College]

The Bills better use all 10 minutes for trade down offers.

[tomz]

McCaffery

[Night Train]

If we stay at 10, I'm sensing a Buckeye.

[djjimkelly]

we are taking one the alabama players is my prediction

or lattimore

[The Jokeman]

What would we do with him ? Our QB is allergic to the TE position.

Cuz Tyrod contact runs out 2 years, Howard's could end in 5 years or more.

[Ed]

I was hoping McCaffrey would be there at 10 for a trade down, but now Hooker or Howard are guaranteed to be there at 10. I think I'm still hoping for a trade down, but I'd be thrilled with either.

[Kenny]

Lattimore and Hooker still on the board

[streetkings01]

I will be very disappointed if we take a CB especially if it's true that you can get a starting corner in the first 4 rounds.

[BillsImpossible]

McCaffery

Best Looking Guy is off the board.

http://ll-media.tmz.com/2016/01/26/christian-mccaffrey-200x250.jpg

Damn!

[Kenny]

Interesting that Jonathan Allen is still on the board

[Ed]

If we can somehow trade down a few picks and still get Howard, Hooker or Lattimore that would be pretty awesome.

[Scumbag College]

Howard would be the only offensive player that makes sense for the Bills. This is a garbage year for QBs and I don't think any of them warranted a first round pick.

My wishlist right this second:

1. Trade down

Distant second: Howard (I think the Bills offense could be really effective with him.)

3. Hooker
4. Reddick
5. Foster
6. Lattimore
7. Jonathan Allen

[kgun12]

Hooker or Foster?

[YardRat]

Wow. 3 WR's in first 9 picks.

[Ed]

WOW 3 WRs in the top 10.

[Turf]

Wow who do we take. Tackle? Hooker? TE?

[tomz]

holy cow. John ross!

[djjimkelly]

perfect trade down or pick your top guy


ALOT of guys on the board no one expected to be here still


this is exciting dont **** it up

[YardRat]

YES!!!!!!!!!

[ParanoidAndroid]

Wow. Early for Ross.

[Turf]

We traded?

[Mace]

trade down trade down trade down pleasethanks.

[kgun12]

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!

[djjimkelly]

trade to cheifs

[Ed]

It's so tempting to take a number of players, but I still want to trade down and stockpile picks

[BillsImpossible]

OMG what just happened

[psubills62]

Wow, lot of talent still left on the board. Cannot believe Hooker made it this far.

[tomz]

The big trade! KC

[YardRat]

Oh man down to 27 THIS BETTER BE A BOATLOAD OF PICKS!!!

[cookie G]

Interesting that Jonathan Allen is still on the board

Shoulder concerns.

[Scumbag College]

Whoa...we are going to get alot of picks!

[BillsImpossible]

Oh wow, Bills got a first rounder in 2018!

[Night Train]

WOW

[GingerP]

27 and 3rd, 1st next year.

[Ed]

I didn't even notice the trade to KC before my last post. What did we get?

[tomz]

swap 1sts, 3rd rounder and next year's 1st rounder!!

[Kenny]

damn... we better be getting a crap load of picks.
We've moved down to 27!

[cookie G]

Oh man down to 27 THIS BETTER BE A BOATLOAD OF PICKS!!!

an extra 3rd and next year's first...

idk.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Go Doug, Go!!!

[Turf]

So we get no one tonight worth a ****. Great.

[djjimkelly]

move back 17 spots we better have gotten their 2 and hopefully next years 2 also

[stuckincincy]

Mike Brown and the Coach-for-Life are idiots.

[Night Train]

1st next year

[psubills62]

A first next year is nice, but that's not nearly as much as I expected. Especially with this kind of talent still on the board.

[YardRat]

That ****ing blows. A third and a '18 first for 17 spots? Who let ****ing Gomez Adams in the war room to negotiate?

[ParanoidAndroid]

an extra 3rd and next year's first...

idk.

Better be more than that.

[streetkings01]

damn... we better be getting a crap load of picks.
We've moved down to 27!Setting yourself up to complain I see ��

[Scumbag College]

Rooting for a 1-15 KC collapse in 2017.

[GingerP]

Seems like they should have received more to drop that far. KC's pick is likely to be in the 20's next year.

[BillsImpossible]

Third round this year, and a 1st round pick in 2018, plus the pick 27th pick tonight.

I love it.

[TacklingDummy]

Franchise is a joke

- - - Updated - - -

Franchise is a joke

[ParanoidAndroid]

:ill:

[djjimkelly]

2018 1st rounder wooohooooooo

[Turf]

Maybe they think their guy like Mahomes will fall.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

meh 27th pick is not exciting
what else is on?

[Ed]

When the Bills have two picks in the first next year no one will be complaining.

[cookie G]

Maybe Whaley really is on his way out..and they'll keep trading down for picks next year..

[Turf]

Well so much for that idea.

[YardRat]

Wow. Mahomes.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I'm guessing they're pretty sure Dobbs will still be there at 27.

[tomz]

MAhomes gone.

[cookie G]

Well...Andy Reid knows Qb's better than we do.

Time will tell.

[streetkings01]

You guys would've complained regardless of what we got. This is the deepest class in years.........it wasn't a great move but don't act like it was so terrible.

[Scumbag College]

This move is a precursor to package Firsts next year to get the USC or UCLA QB's. Bills can still trade down this year to get more mid round picks. Lots of holes in this team, new HC, GM seemingly at the end of his reign of terror. Good investment in the future.

[Turf]

We can always trade back up this round.

[jlgarsh]

What are the point value for the trade? Is it close to even?

[k-oneputt]

This team is so ****ing stupid. I've been talking about mahomes for three months and he falls into the bills lap and the trade him away. there is a reason some teams always win and some always lose.

[ICRockets]

This should thrill anybody who doesn't think Tyrod will succeed. We now have a primo asset to try to get in a position to take our guy in 2018.

[tomz]

Well, Desean Watson will probably be there at 27! :fit: But plenty of good corners and some LBs will be around. Maybe Jabril Peppers who I personally like.

[Ed]

At this point I hope the Bills somehow trade the #27 pick for a 2nd rounder this year and another 1st next year.

[cookie G]

This team is so ****ing stupid. I've been talking about mahomes for three months and he falls into the bills lap and the trade him away. there is a reason some teams always win and some always lose.

I took him in my mock too..

[Scumbag College]

Mahomes could be Favre, could be Boller.

[BillsImpossible]

That ****ing blows. A third and a '18 first for 17 spots? Who let ****ing Gomez Adams in the war room to negotiate?

Alex Smith is not having a good night.

[k-oneputt]

I took him in my mock too..

This team has no clue. So we get KC pick which will be late 20's again next year. big deal.
Can't win without a qb. WTF

[psubills62]

These middle picks have so much value now.

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

This move is a precursor to package Firsts next year to get the USC or UCLA QB's. Bills can still trade down this year to get more mid round picks. Lots of holes in this team, new HC, GM seemingly at the end of his reign of terror. Good investment in the future.


Post of the night so fAr. Exactly what I was thinking. This is a long term move.

[SpikedLemonade]

Another CB.........Poop!!!

I say the Bills draft a Kicker at 27.

[TigerJ]

I find it immensely entertaining how Bills fans, who have their own pet pick in the draft, react when the Bills don't pick their guy.

[BillsImpossible]

So glad I bought an extra 12 pack for tonight, just in case.

Always pays off to prepare well.

Jabrill Peppers at 27 for the Bills.

[BertSquirtgum]

Bunch of whiners

[k-oneputt]

You think the Bills 8th pick and the KC 25th pick is getting you to #1 for the top qb. LOL !!!

[djjimkelly]

cleveland gonna take watson i feel sorry for their fans

[psubills62]

After all the discussion, I will be interested to peripherally follow Mahomes' career.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Not to be outdone by Chicago, the Bills will trade the two picks they got from KC to swap picks with the Seahawks.

[djjimkelly]

cleveland gonna take watson i feel sorry for their fans

lol texans gonna take watson

[psubills62]

You think the Bills 8th pick and the KC 25th pick is getting you to #1 for the top qb. LOL !!!
If Darnold continues his trajectory and he declares, whoever ends up at #1 isn't going to trade it no matter what, IMO. Just like Colts were never going to trade away Andrew Luck.

[streetkings01]

Texans trading up for Watson?

[k-oneputt]

After all the discussion, I will be interested to peripherally follow Mahomes' career.

I'm sure you will. Andy Reid will groom him for a year or two then he will start him when ready. Reid is lightyears ahead of the Bills.

[Scumbag College]

Cleveland traded to Houston. More Moneyball from them...they don't like any of the QBs either. Watson to Houston?

[Ed]

I wish we had traded with Texans. I'm sure they made an offer, but it must not have been as good. I just think the Texans are going to be a lot worse than the Chiefs next year.

[Scumbag College]

Cleveland only got Houston's First this year. They are trying to tank again.

[BillsFanCupp38]

Well, Desean Watson will probably be there at 27! :fit: But plenty of good corners and some LBs will be around. Maybe Jabril Peppers who I personally like.


Watson gonna be gone. Houston getting him

[BillsImpossible]

Holy reach.

[BillsFanCupp38]

Kizer in the second

[Skooby]

I wish we had traded with Texans. I'm sure they made an offer, but it must not have been as good. I just think the Texans are going to be a lot worse than the Chiefs next year.

New early pick QB in KC might not do that well this season, those growing pains might net us a monster pick next season. I see Bills picking 2nd and having the 10th pick again from KC.

[Ingtar33]

Well...Andy Reid knows Qb's better than we do.

Time will tell.
Apparently I still know NFL talent

back before the bowls I rated the top two QBs to be 1) Trubisky and 2) Mahomes. Interesting that was the order they went (even if both went about 20 picks too early)

[k-oneputt]

Funny how two play-off teams trade up for their future qb's and the two every year losers go for it.

Maybe Tyrod will get hurt and they will go 2-14 instead of 7-9 and they will get the #1 pick in 2018.

[psubills62]

I'm sure you will. Andy Reid will groom him for a year or two then he will start him when ready. Reid is lightyears ahead of the Bills.
I haven't made up my mind about Mahomes. Haven't watched him, but just from a general standpoint it sounds like there are positives, but I think there are reasons to be wary as well. It would certainly be disappointing if he succeeds down the road and we had the chance to pick him.

[k-oneputt]

New early pick QB in KC might not do that well this season, those growing pains might net us a monster pick next season. I see Bills picking 2nd and having the 10th pick again from KC.

Mahomes wont start in KC this year.

[Ingtar33]

Texans, Bills and Bears got fleeced.

I'm just praying we don't draft EJ v2.0 in Kizer.

there are only a 2 QBs left in this draft I even remotely like (and none of them like enough for a 1st or 2nd, or high 3rd).
-Brad Kaaya (3rd round guy)
-Chad Kelly (4th round or later guy)

I don't have the slightest good impression of anyone else (QB) in this draft

[Scumbag College]

I don't think the Bills draft any QBs this year unless it's Kelly late and he get's IR'ed in Training Camp.

[The Jokeman]

Funny how two play-off teams trade up for their future qb's and the two every year losers go for it.

Maybe Tyrod will get hurt and they will go 2-14 instead of 7-9 and they will get the #1 pick in 2018.

Put the Bills in the AFC South and we could be a playoff caliber team too.

[Mike]

Funny how two play-off teams trade up for their future qb's and the two every year losers go for it.

Maybe Tyrod will get hurt and they will go 2-14 instead of 7-9 and they will get the #1 pick in 2018.

There is a time to do this and a time not to. When there is a Luck or Manning or Elway coming up in the draft, tanking is the best strategy (heck that Colts could have had all 3!)...

[ParanoidAndroid]

The Texans won the QB draft this year.

[BillsOwnAll]

What are the point value for the trade? Is it close to even?

Bills actually came out ahead of you look it up. And that's saying KC pick is mid 20s

[MJones83]

3 qbs, 3 wrs, and 2 rbs taken in the top 12 is going to push down a lot of top talent. There will be mid round talent at 27.

[BillsImpossible]

Bodes well for the Cardale Jones and Tyrod Taylor.

[Mouldsie]

Apparently I still know NFL talent

back before the bowls I rated the top two QBs to be 1) Trubisky and 2) Mahomes. Interesting that was the order they went (even if both went about 20 picks too early)
You were on Mahomes early.

I had/have them Mahomes, Kelly, Kizer top 3. None worthy of 10.

Next year I am going to watch a lot of UCLA and USC

[cookie G]

This team has no clue. So we get KC pick which will be late 20's again next year. big deal.
Can't win without a qb. WTF

If Mahomes becomes a Pro Bowler..(and as Ingtar said, its a coin flip with him)...

it becomes one of those all time bonehead moves...

The "we could have had him...we just had to hand in the card" type of lines that will last forever.

[GingerP]

It is interesting that a year after trading out of the opportunity to trade Wentz, Cleveland passed on all the QB this year. I know there is not top guy there, but if any of them turn out to be good their fans are going to wonder why they didn't get a guy.

[Scumbag College]

Reddick to the Zonies. Makes sense. Good pick.

[cookie G]

New early pick QB in KC might not do that well this season, those growing pains might net us a monster pick next season. I see Bills picking 2nd and having the 10th pick again from KC.

He won't even play next year, unless Smith gets hurt.

[Skooby]

It is interesting that a year after trading out of the opportunity to trade Wentz, Cleveland passed on all the QB this year. I know there is not top guy there, but if any of them turn out to be good their fans are going to wonder why they didn't get a guy.
They're locked in for #1 for next year, better choices then.

Camp will help decide that, we will see.

I think Browns fans are going to question everything the Browns do for a long time.

Kelly's an enigma to me. I think he may be the best QB, but no one knows where he gets taken. IMO, if the get other players they want and Kelly I think they will have had a good draft. Surprised they didn't jump on Hooker though, they may move back up.

[Ed]

Malik Hooker, OJ Howard, and Jonathan Allen are all still on the board at #15. I definitely did not expect that.

[Scumbag College]

I thought Foster would go to Philly for sure.

[TigerJ]

Texans, Bills and Bears got fleeced.

I'm just praying we don't draft EJ v2.0 in Kizer.

there are only a 2 QBs left in this draft I even remotely like (and none of them like enough for a 1st or 2nd, or high 3rd).
-Brad Kaaya (3rd round guy)
-Chad Kelly (4th round or later guy)

I don't have the slightest good impression of anyone else (QB) in this draftI have the same fear of Kizer. He's smart, polite, has a great arm an excellent athleticism, yet seemed to underperform. Sounds exactly like Manuel.

Kelly always gave me the impression "if only he was a freshman". He's a couple years of playing experience off from being pro-ready. He needed to play another year or two of college ball, the two seasons he played were not enough. There are parts of his game where you can see flashes of a highly drafted pro QB. But he probably will never get the experience he needs sitting on a bench, and he's not good enough now to start. So there you have it. He'll probably be a late bloomer, if he buttons down and works, if he doesn't he'll be out of the league in 3 years.

Come on!!!!!!!!

Something must not been released about Allen to fall this far. Hookers injury might cuz him to fall. OJ interesting but not many teams in top 15 needed a TE.

[YardRat]

Hooker to Indy.

[TacklingDummy]

Worst part is now I have to stay up 2 more hours for this crap

[Scumbag College]

Good pick by Indy.

[Turf]

Does anyone have two 2nds? I wouldn't be surprised if they trade down again.

[Scumbag College]

I have a feeling Ravens go with OJ Howard here.

[djjimkelly]

You know, you summed him up perfectly.

[TigerJ]

So, what prospect will Buffalo pick at #27 that they will swear they had valued in the top 10?

[tomz]

With the trade down, I kinda wonder if they were really set on picking a wide received and then they all went.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Cunningham? Why did he fall so far pre-draft?

[Turf]

I'm drinking champagne and really stoned, bring it all on now.

I kind of assumed you always were.

[Ed]

Probably not since they started calling every team a couple days ago about trading down. I really don't think they valued anyone that highly at 10. Considering the talent that was available they still seemed eager to trade down. I think with a totally new coaching staff they were only focused on gaining picks and building for the future.

[Ingtar33]

With the trade down, I kinda wonder if they were really set on picking a wide received and then they all went.

That's what I thought when I saw it. I think they had their heart set on McCaffrey or Williams, then 4 WRs went in the top 9 picks which was comical.

They'll probably take someone like OJ Howard or David Njoku and swear they would have drafted them at 10 (followed promptly with the cutting of Clay).

[Skooby]

I kind of assumed you always were.
Don't judge me.

[Ingtar33]

I think Tenn is where Foster or Howard goes.


EDIT: nope. CB - Adoree Jackson -> reaching now.

[Turf]

Don't judge me.

What will happen, Alex Baldwin. Will you get a larger picture?

[Mace]

Cunningham? Why did he fall so far pre-draft?

Teams are running more standard bigger, stronger, faster defense as offense becomes bigger, stronger and faster. There aren't too many teams left that put a premium on fast and lighter. Cunningham is is not going to fit many schemes.

[Ed]

I can't see anyway Tampa passes on OJ Howard, but I hope I'm wrong.

[Ed]

Not wrong. Disappointed.

[Ingtar33]

all the offensive playmakers will be gone by the time the bills pick. so they're clearly going o-line or defense.

[tomz]

Just read that Malik Hooker is recovering from torn labrum in left hip and sports hernias and won't be ready for training camp. Possibly why Bills passed?

[Scumbag College]

No way OJ lasted to 27.

[psubills62]

I'm fine with not using our first rounder on a TE.

[Ed]

No way OJ lasted to 27.

Yeah that was a pipe dream, but maybe Reuben Foster is still there.

[cookie G]

Evans, Jackson, Howard...

Winston is smiling .

[Turf]

If that's true I would agree. I'm done drafting injured players because we're so smarter than everyone else.

[Scumbag College]

Damn, Bolles to Denver. I thought he might be a darkhorse pick for the Bills at 27.

[psubills62]

If Bills were targeting a WR at 10, and ended up empty, they could have traded back anticipating they'll be ahead of the next run of WR's.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Me waiting for the Bills to make their pick tonight.

[Saratoga Slim]

We won't be peripherally following it. We'll forever be tied to it if he pans out.

[Ed]

Damn, Bolles to Denver. I thought he might be a darkhorse pick for the Bills at 27.
I live in Denver and all the local sports guys have been hoping they don't reach for an O-lineman because they think none are worth a 1st round pick. It's their biggest need by far, but the media/fans are not going to be happy. I'm looking forward to the outrage.

[Ingtar33]

You thinking Curtis Samuel?

no other WR left in this draft left I could even justify wasting a high 2nd on (needless to say that means none are worth wasting a late 1st on).

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Jabril Peppers dropping would be huge. Top 10 guy prior to test pop. Fits a need.

[Saratoga Slim]

That said, I didn't want him at 10. I'd be thrilled to see us trade that extra third up right now and grab Reuben Foster. Get a guy we would have been happy with at 10 plus an extra first rounder next year? #winning
