Buffalo Bills 2014 Draft: Rd1#4 WR Sammy Watkins; Rd2#44 C. Kouandjio; Stevie traded

Kouandjio failed Redskins physical, per @RapSheet.

Hairston/Pears as subs make it a little bit more palatable. While we obviously needed the improvement, we do have somewhat capable backups right now. The problem is a few years from now...you'd hate for your 2nd rounder to bust because he can't stay healthy. Here's hoping I guess...

Whaley: #Bills had a RD1 grade on Cyrus Kouandjio. "Prototypical right tackle" pic.twitter.com/2BOhnv80rF

Whaley: #Bills trust their medical evaluation regarding knee injuries for Koundjio. No bearing on his long-term future.

Me too. Amaro is a beast and a true football player. Just about every tape you see he is carrying players with the ball and hammering players without it. True competitor. Would have loved to have him.

I am one happy man right now. I couldn't be happier with the first two picks

Not a Bills fan per say but A+ with their first two pick (independent of the price they paid for Watkins). Two really solid players.

Trai Turner would be great if he falls to 73. Legursky isn't that great and neither is Chris Williams.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

If Manzeil had fallen to 29 the Patriots would have considered taking him... So they would have thought about drafting an available player? Love the in depth reporting that happens during the draft.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Did you see the released pats scouting report on Manziel? They despised him.

I wonder if they take Nix if he's still there with the uncertainty over Dareus. Still hoping for Turner, that would really improve the OL. We could them go all defense rest of the draft after adding our #1 WR and 2 soon to be starters at OL.

Yep! Two immediate starters. Very very solid picks. Aside from the injuries Kuondjio is a top 15 talent. His injuries scared A LOT of teams away from him but at some point the risk/reward has to come into affect and at some point someone was going to take him. I love the fact that Whaley and co. are swinging for the fences.

LOL Getting Nix would be ****ing awesome. Watkins, Kuondjio, Nix wooo

They called him a "spoiled brat".

WOW good luck Cleveland. N.E staff ripped this guy to shreds. Seems very (world class) high maintenance. Very cocky and self absorbed. His father's family seems to be in his personality, loves the spotlight. Knows when and where to put himself in situations where he'll be noticed. Doesn't go to work-outs, didn't go to class, knew about 60% of the playbook at Texas A&M. You can't yell at him or scream at him or he shuts down. Gets allowance from his grandfather. WTF!

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Hmm a lot of people had him as a 4th-5th rounder. Hope he works out.

**** Chrichton picked just before the Bills pick. I need to read up on Brown and watch his tapes but liked the idea of Chrichton in Schwartz's defense.

DT Bromley from Syracuse for NYG was a good pick. They like their 'Cuse players. I was hoping he would fall and we could steal him with the second 5th.

3rd Round - 73rd overall - Preston Brown | ILB, Louisville
6-1 251 lbs

 

[cramdizzl]

Damn, Minny grabbed Crichton right before us, I'll bet he would've been the pick.

Brown looks like a great run stuffer. Don't know much about him but he's projected as a two-down player who excels at the run and is average in coverage.

Blame ESPN and NFLN for being multiple picks behind.

Disagree. Not at all excited about the 2nd guy

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

I wouldn't mind Jackson Jeffcoat in the 4th and then get a depth RB and someone for the secondary with our 2 5ths. With our 7th I say **** it and draft Tajh Boyd. I mean how many 7ths pan out for us that often? If we don't draft Boyd in the 7th and assuming he goes undrafted I can see us brining him in as a Udfa.

So with our 4th,5th,5th and 7th I'm hoping for DL,RB,CB/S and a QB with our last pick or maybe another OL. We are set at linebacker, WR and most likely tight end as Chandler and Moeaki are fine for this season and we still got the blocking Tes left. I definitely want a QB drafted though even if it's a #3. Tuel must go this year he's so bad. I wouldn't mind a flier on Andre Williams or Ka'Deem Carey at RB, even if Spiller is re-signed I think this is Freddy's last year and Dixon is mainly a special teamer.

You should. I was high on Cordy Glenn a few years back and look how good he has become. You put Glenn on a line with Urbik, Wood and now that Kouandjio kid. That's a solid O-Line. At worst Kouandjio is a solid RT and potential for LT. Real good value in the second round. Besides, there wasn't much value at TE left, defense is very good already. Good solid pick IMO.

Agreed. He's exactly what we needed: a powerful, gap creating RT that can keep up physically with most DT's and has the width and arms to contain DE's. He may get burned by some of the faster DE's, but I think with the skill players we have around EJ, he's not going to need much time to get the ball out.

The Bills must think Watkins is an upper-echelon type of talent....Let's hope they're right.
