TrueBlueGED Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Another good draft by Whaley. I've been impressed by him so far. The Bills tried to trade up to draft Reed, but Seattle took him I really don't understand why Woods hasn't succeeded in the NFL. He's the walking definition of JAG physically, so he needs a QB to throw him open and/or a high volume spread system that gets him matchup opportunities and schemes him open. Here he's had a run of bad QBs and the current system is a run-heavy half-field 1-2 read system and he's the 3rd or 4th option. I'm sure he'd be a decent enough #3 in different circumstances, but he really doesn't bring anything to the table to get excited about. Quote

Great hands and rout running, but terrible speed, height, and size? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Great hands and rout running, but terrible speed, height, and size? I don't even think he has great hands. They're good, but he's not one-handing stuff out there. Average size and jumping ability, and just no explosion at all. He's like a poor man's Stevie Johnson. I liked Stevie a lot, but you don't want to be a poor man's Stevie. If they let him walk after this season I won't be sad. Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 http://buckeyextra.dispatch.com/content/stories/2015/12/11/1211-washington-suspended.html Well this one isn't without history :p Quote
Norcal Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 I like the pick, Washington is an interior disruptor. He'll wreak havoc on guards during passing downs. Quote
Brawndo Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Per Tim Graham the Bills have no interest in trading up for Connor Cook. If he is still on the board when they pick, all bets are off This is in response to a Jason LaCanfora Report that the Bills are attempting to trade up for him, including using 2017 Draft Picks Quote
That Aud Smell Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Posted April 30, 2016 Who in our division is a running threat? Did this get traction? Abyway, it's evident that Rex is re-tooling the D to fit his scheme. Who is Ragland's comparable Rex player of old? Quote
LGR4GM Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 You don't trade up for the Connor Cooks of the world. Plus I hear he's a @$shole. Quote
GoPre Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 I'm still hoping the Bills land Prescott. He's the guy I hope Whaley can draft. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 I'm officially on the Cardale Jones bandwagon if we go QB today. Odds are each and every one drafted today end up as total washouts, so may as well go for the highest ceiling. If not him, then Vernon Adams with our last pick. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Posted April 30, 2016 ^ Good point on Cardale. My take on him is in line with Inky's, but there's upside there. Quote
Stoner Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Smell, take my hand. I got you. Come on. Come out of that thread, this instant. There is a good life out there. Swamp made his special brownies. Quote

Swamp made his special brownies. I always like when meta-Sabrespace PA shows up, but I'm afraid I don't follow. Is it the mere fact that I'm discussing the Bills and late round draft picks? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 ^ Good point on Cardale. My take on him is in line with Inky's, but there's upside there. Oh, I don't like Cardale much at all to be honest. But my general philosophy in the late rounds, where most picks end up useless, is to take the best physical skills and hope they put it together. This holds for all positions, not just QB. Floors the same? Go for the ceiling. Quote

If they let him walk after this season I won't be sad. I remember people saying RW was a better Stevie coming out of USC. I remember him and Marquise Lee looking like Randy Moss and Chris Carter against SU. Then again so did Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. Quote
inkman Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 There is such a narrative to the draft coverage. Pump up all our big marquee franchises and stomp on the little guys. The literally just explained 2 players with the exact same limitations but because one went to one of their darlings and the other went to a league doormat, completely different analysis. Quote

inkman Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Dick Vitale's Schtick is so tired. I can't listen to his special needs type rants. He says the same things with the same voice affectation for the last 30 years. Quote

They gushed over players who were cLear reaches in the 1st then I think it was the Jags took someone and they highlighted all the negatives. Quote

Thought he'd be perfect as a secondary option. Meh, such is life with second round picks. Quote
