Buffalo Bills 2023 Summer - Post-Draft and Pre-Camp Talk

[WeDislikeEich]

Run on tight ends to start the 2nd. Surprised Detroit went laPorta over Mayer, but all of their picks have been kind of head scratching so far (IMO anyway).

Raiders swooped in to grab Mayer pretty quick after Detroit passed on him.

What position are we hoping for here? I think it’s irrational to think a tackle slides to 59. Sanders and Simpson are likely gone too. Keeanu Benton? I don’t see any other IDLs that make sense. IOL maybe?

 

[Husko]

There goes Avila

 

[Rowley Birkin]

I knew Avila would be the first true IOL drafted...

LB, DT, and maybe OL if someone falls are where I'd be looking

I knew Avila would be the first true IOL drafted...

He was my favorite!

 

[ValJamesDuex]

OL run incoming ?

 

[Husko]

Yes yes, lets get an EDGE run going

Laporta isn't a huge reach IMO. Probably TE4 or TE5 in what's an insanely deep class.

I'd personally have taken Mayer though, even if you're not focused on his blocking ability.

I must admit i kinda wanted Detroit to get Washington. Him in that scheme, with their OL would have been disgusting.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Falcons moving up

 

[Husko]

Bye bye Bergeron

Bijan going to have 3000 yards

makes sense ATL runs the ball

What I love about the TE class is there's 6 guys that all do different things well. Every team can have a different ranking order

Dexter makes sense as an IDL too, and it would be the right value for him.

As you said, probably a safe assumption that Sanders and Simpson are both gone.

I'd say unless someone unexpectedly slides, go for the line -- either side.

 

[Rowley Birkin]

I thought they would be the team to swing on Dawand Jones TBH.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Avila is the best IOL in pass protection. He shut down Jalen Carter on a lot of plays. Crazy anchor strength and great feet to mirror.

I dunno. I see LaPorta as a poor man's Kincaid, I don't see what he does well that one of the other "big" TEs don't.

 

[Rowley Birkin]

You guys needed to listen to me re Mingo. I said it enough times!

 

[Zman5778]

Carolina gets a weapon for Young.....if he develops.

Everyone's favorite 4th round mock pick always inevitably goes in the 2nd

Love the pick for Bryce

Dexter is such a fascinating player that I'll be generally excited and also terrified about if we pick Ultimate boom/bust DL

I dunno. I see LaPorta as a poor man's Kincaid, I don't see what he does well that one of the other "big" TEs don't.

I think he's a better pure receiver than Mayer, Washington, and Kraft. I would've taken Musgrave over him, personally, but he's got injury concerns.

 

[Zman5778]

Thought for sure the Saints would go with a skill position here in the 2nd.

This sounds right, and you’re right, Dexter would also make sense.

 

[Husko]

Keep taking EDGE! Don't leave any for Beane!

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Keep taking EDGE! Don't leave any for Beane!

another one comin

 

[Sabreality]
