Buffalo Bills Training Camp - July 16 (rookies), July 23 (veterans)

[Dirty Dog]

Natural pass catching back. Seems like a shorter, stouter James cook tbh

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

And Ravens make the smart pick.

 

[HOOats]

Would have preferred Guerendo who went right after us to San Fran. I really like Davis' ability to catch the ball. All three backs are dangerous receivers if it's Cook, Ty, and Davis. Also has a pretty harrowing/inspiring upbringing and gets high character grades.

 

[Reddawg]

“Take the trophy again and then we can say we did it again!!!”

Yeah, the international fan of the year thing has jumped the guppy.

 

[Husko]

I bet they like him as a third down back because of pass catching.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

And Ravens make the smart pick.

They always seem to.

 

[Fezzy126]

He's definitely more of a power back than speedster, but my concern is more the heavy mileage. Whatever, all those RBs were the same to me. Someone that can take a beating and get tough yards.

Agree with the bolded, I think there will be good RBs available into the 6th round. I still think there were better value picks available at edge, IOL, and CB that made much more sense at that spot.

Why are we grabbing a 3rd string RB when there are so many question marks at edge where we balance the snap counts so much?

 

[Dingo44]

Amazing story about Ray Davis' struggle in the foster system. Really rooting for the kid now.

I think the mileage is less of an issue if you approach RBs with the knowledge that you're unlikely to offer them a 2nd contract to begin with. Maybe deflates the draft value a little more, but if you're only looking for 4 years of value from them, whether they fall of a cliff after 5 doesn't matter as much.

Why does Ray Davis look like hes 40 years old

I imagine they see the Lat 3rd down pass blocking role as an essential part of the offense and worth investment.

If you went through what he did growing up you might look like that too.

 

[truthbluth]

So KC just drafted the player I wanted for the Bills with the pick they got from the Bills in the Worthy trade. Awesome.

He'll turn 25 during this season

Damn, he is old.

 

[Reddawg]

Man, back to back guys I wanted for us.

 

[Husko]

What a run on RBs

 

[truthbluth]

oh gosh I hate this draft. Everybody the Bills are chasing is killing it.

San Fran, with 2 all pro WRs and an all world Rb and an all world TE have double dipped at WR. The Bills are like, “nah, just take a 30 year old running back.”

The bills did take a WR and have 4 picks imminently coming up

Eagles already having an extra 3, 4, and 5 next year just from trade backs makes me so agitated. Shouldn't be that easy. Idiots everywhere.

Madden cheating strategy that shouldn't work in real life. Wish Beane was a more on top of that. Getting an extra 3rd can get a guy like Rasul in-season, which is huge.

Agreed. Not a fan at all of the guys theyve drafted since their first two picks +not a fan of their strategy. Perhaps the bust rate between 4th and 5th round guys isn't worth trading up for?

Beane deserves the benefit of the doubt, though, and Im no where close to an expert on these guys. I read up on them after we draft them, then form an opinion.

Let's hope he can find his Milano in the 5th round.

 

[truthbluth]

Alright I’m goin to breathe. This draft is about adding leadership. It’s about reinforcing the culture. They lost talent, but ever more so, they lost leadership. I have to chill out. The most important part of the draft process is the interview.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Give me Trotter and Rice with these next two picks

 

[Gabrielor]

Gimme Brendan Rice to the Bills. Still.

 

[Fezzy126]

Bills with 2 of the next 5 picks. Some guys I liked:

Austin Booker (Edge)
Kris Abrams-Draine (CB)
Malik Washington (WR)
Curtis Jacobs (LB)
Cedric Johnson (Edge)
Mohamed Kamara (Edge)
Javon Solomon (Edge)
Christian Mahogany (IOL)
Jarvis Brownlee Jr (CB)
Beaux Limmer (IOL)
MJ Devonshire (CB)
Kalen King (CB)

Can I speak Limmer and Johnson into existence here?

Alright I’m goin to breathe. This draft is about adding leadership. It’s about reinforcing the culture. They lost talent, but ever more so, they lost leadership. I have to chill out. The most important part of the draft process is the interview.

The other thing that bears remembering - as long as we have Josh Allen the other teams in the division are behind us regardless of who they draft.

 

[HOOats]

Whoever said Trotter here feels right on one of these picks. Super productive, undersized, big program. Fits with the Milano, Bernard, even Spector picks.

Limmer, Devonshire too.

 

[Fezzy126]

alright, solid pick, lets go
