Who are the Bills draft guys? I know one fellow from buffalobillsdraft.com and I don't see eye to eye with him most of the time. Lot of back and forth between the two of us on the Bills board he frequents. Good dude, he's liked Smith since last season, liked Lemonier a ton and he's getting buzz now, agree with him too. We both agreed on R.Wilson, discussion was basically how soon is too soon. Not going to pretend like I was dead set on him when the pick came up in the third but he was on my mind, I knew these pussies wouldn't have the balls to take him anyway.
Other than that guy I can't say I give a shit what others in the Bills community think. Maybe I'm forgetting someone, drop some names.
I think this franchise is dog shit and has no fucking talent. They've failed in every round the last three years after their first selection, with the exception of Glenn they're all busts. You can't build a team when you're missing one the second and third days as badly as they are. They have one guard and he's a big mauler that can't move in space, RT is fucking dog shit, Glenn's a player, Center is good but always hurt. No Linebackers, one cornerback, a couple of good DTs but no depth behind them, one DE who is a ghost most of the time without depth behind him, no QB, no WR outside of Steve, and a Safety that's counting down his days until he's set free. They do have a couple of backs but that's where it ends.
So basically, it doesn't matter who they draft, they're going to fail/underperform/leave. That's how it is, that's how it will be for the foreseeable future.
Won't take a guard top ten, they're morons and believe in this value shit but they never do anything about it. They'll grade a guard top 10, but they won't draft him because the "value" isn't there, whatever the fuck that means. So trade down and get more picks...nope we don't know if our guy will be there so we're better off staying put and taking a player we don't grade as high because his position holds value, again, whatever the fuck that means. Pretty sure they'd take a tackle however, and then kick Glenn inside or to the right side, tackles have value, lol. Probably wont happen though.
They need a rush LB for Pettine, Dion Jordan should be the guy, he should not get past them if you ask me but he may not be there. He can cover, I'm more concerned about his pass rush ability than his coverage skills so to me that's a plus because normally it's the opposite. I've seen him rush the QB but he needs to add to his repertoire.
Going into this year I thought T.Wilson was the best QB prospect, ahead of Barkley but felt Bray had a shot because he's got the tools and receivers, but he sucked ass. Geno was on the radar too but that system can help a QB big time.
I'm pretty comfortable in saying that Tyler Wilson is the best QB in this draft, he scares me the least and I think he can be a good one. Not sure he's elite, or that you can solely rely on him to take over, but I've watched him for three years, over a dozen games, and I like him a lot. Guy played behind one of the worst OLs on the planet, took a pounding, yet maintained poise in the pocket, eyes downfield all game long. Moves well inside the pocket, steps up/climbs. Plenty of arm too. Does a great job working the middle of the field, throws through tight windows, understands how routes combos affect coverage. Tannehill did a bad job throwing between the hashes but I thought he did a great job outside. It's the opposite with Wilson, not that he's poor outside, just didn't do it enough in the Ark scheme.
My main concerns is the amount of hits, the amount of hits he'll continue to take because he just hangs in there, and the absolutely terrible decisions he makes at times. Seems like he just doesn't give a fuck and forces it or just makes a terrible read.
You asked me about Geno, but I didn't talk about Smith at all. I think he's not a good runner, doesn't look to run which is actually a negative. Good pocket presence at times, a statue at other times. His problem, besides just standing in one spot and not moving his feet, is locking on to receivers. Another QB that keeps his eyes downfield and doesn't give a fuck, will step up too, but he scans the field so slowly. Locks on way too much and you saw it affect his play, defenses would just key in and take away his first or second read. Plenty of times where he just threw it up even though his guy was never open, just threw it out of frustration. That's my beef with Smith, will this dude ever scan the field properly? Reminds me of Trent Edwards, eyes downfield but on one or two receivers tops.
Smith does anticipate throwing windows pretty well over the middle, but his ball placement isn't the greatest. Remember a couple of times where he threw too low on a drive concepts and his WR couldn't run after catch. But then he'll make a good deep throw and you forget about it, still though he doesn't lead guys the right way sometimes.
Back to the Bills, and I said this three years ago, still believe it, they shouldn't take a guy with the squad they have right now. Build the team and then go out and grab one, don't force it because he's going to have to carry the load with the pile of shit they have on the roster and I don't think a guy like that exists in this draft, not an obvious anyway. They failed miserably in the last three drafts and have to start from scratch with only 6 picks via the draft and next to no additions via free agency. Why reach and take a guy who's going to take a pounding the next two years?
That said, they'll take one early because they don't have the slightest fucking idea.
This is fucking tragic. Reminds me that big Royals blogger who quit last year.
Stick with it LJ! At least you aren't a Pittsburgh Pirates fan.
