Will BUF select a DE in the draft?

[stuckincincy]

They have Mario, Branch, Hughes, and a 300 lb fellow named Corbin Bryant at DE per nfl.com's depth chart:

Having 24 qb sacks from that bunch didn't translate into a winning season. That may be scheme or it may be skills. IMO, they might be well-served by having some talent that is good at all-around DE play. not a sack-master. Decent ST play, also.

I think 3rd or 4th round down, a DE might be a wise pick.

No...

Not with the 1st. pick.

Depends on who is on the board, and when...I certainly don't think they are targeting DE in any manner.

I think thats exactly it. They may draft one somewhere in the draft if the guy is too much of a value at the pick to pass up.

If Clowney falls for some reason we should take him. Other than that the pass rushers we would consider at 9 would be olb types like Mack and Barr

Look for Kareem Martin and Will Clark in rounds 2 and 3, guys I love.

Especially Martin he plays the run well, gets good push at the point of attack, and has good pass rush skills and closing speed.

Will Clark is a poor mans Dion Jordan and is a much better pass rusher than run defender but another player that is pretty good.

Both will be gone in the second round.

Seriously ? If Clowney falls to them they should be sprinting to the podium.

Nothing wrong with drafting a versatile DL day 2 or early day 3

Re: Will BUF select a DE in the draft?

I think they may.
Depends on the values when the Bills pick.
Also depends what we do in Free agency!

Re: Will BUF select a DE in the draft?

If Buffalo keeps substantially the defensive scheme they had last season and only tweak it with a few Jim Schwartz wrinkles, then defensive end will be a pretty low priority. If they think they are going to run quite a bit more 4-3, I think they might try to pick up a pure 4-3 defensive end somewhere rather than always trying to fit a square peg into a round hole (playing a 300 lb. DL at DE in a 4-3 alignment, or a LB/ DE tweener). No, they are not going to trade up to draft Jadaveon Clowney.
