ubkev Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I think it's odd they haven't interviewed Whaley immediately before or after the draft.... just McDermott. Whaley is in the gimp box in McDermott's basement. He's unavailable for comment.
That Aud Smell Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I think it's odd they haven't interviewed Whaley immediately before or after the draft.... just McDermott. Odd in the abstract, yes. But McDermott was unequivocal a while back on there being one voice for the team: His.
Samson's Flow Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I think it's odd they haven't interviewed Whaley immediately before or after the draft.... just McDermott. The writing is on the wall that the reports of Whaley and his staff being on the outs seem to have some merit.
Iron Crotch Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I've seen White play in person twice and he can cover. No doubt about that. And, getting a 1st next year plus a 3rd this year in addition to a corner, which we probably would have taken anyway, makes a lot of sense. All picks are gambles and bad teams need as many new players as possible - trading down is a strangely rational decision coming from the Bills front office. McDermott wants character guys and guys who play well on film instead of "workout wonders" with the infamous "upside." I'm onboard. Edit: I now see that I typed pretty much exactly what Jerry Sullivan wrote... strange for me to agree with him to this extent. Edited April 28, 2017 by Potato
SwampD Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I think it's odd they haven't interviewed Whaley immediately before or after the draft.... just McDermott. meh. I live in the NYC area and listen to a fair amount of sports talk radio. I couldn't even name the Jets or Giants GMs and I can't recall ever having seen or heard an interview with either of them.
Taro T Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Would've liked them to grab Howard, but if they were dead set on CB (& the rumors that Lattimore was going to be the pick) grabbing a slightly less rated guy & adding the 3rd & next year's 1 seems like a good call considering the holes they have to fill.
Iron Crotch Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 There are a lot of good WR available in Rounds 2 & 3. If Smith-Schuster is there at #44 he'd be a good pick. Zay Jones would be a great pick too. He comes down with every 50/50 ball and has the NCAA record for most career catches.

Edit: I now see that I typed pretty much exactly what Jerry Sullivan wrote... strange for me to agree with him to this extent. I'm ok with this new draft philosophy. Since the 21st century began, we've seen the Bills waste 1st round picks on guys like Flowers, Losman, McCargo, Maybin, and Manuel....guys that no other sane NFL GM had graded as 1st round material.
Randall Flagg Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Bills are going to win 10 games and get a WC birth. Chiefs are going to be absolutely wrecked by their division and will finish 3-13 and we will get one of those 3 golden QBs while also getting to play in the playoffs. Buffaluck is over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wondered if White was a "high character pick" to fit Pegula and McDermott's "character" vision, and I saw that he wore number 18 at LSU and learned what that means. Then I heard him on the radio just now. The kind of guy you'd be proud of your son becoming. Great head on his shoulders. Haven't seen a single play of football from him in my life but I'm fine with the pick.
GoPre Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Good, good! Let the hate flow through you! So TrueBlueGED has turned to the dark side. :lol:

WildCard Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Posted April 28, 2017 I haven't been this frustrated with the Bills since they brought Jauron back for year 3. I've genuinely given up on them. It's complete indifference at this point
TrueBlueGED Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I've genuinely given up on them. It's complete indifference at this point Don't be silly, just click your heels three times while saying "character" and you'll go to the promised land! Or so McDermott has told me.

Or so McDermott has told me. We basically are that movie anyways. No heart, no brains, no brawn. Apparently the Browns tried, again, to get Garappalo from the Pats.

nfreeman Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I've been fairly optimistic about the Bills since they decided to keep TT -- because I think it was the right decision for this team, because I think it gives them a shot at the playoffs this year (as opposed to the oblivion that would've been locked in with Cardale or the Fitz-type journeyman they would've ended up with) and, most of all, because it signified to me that DW has been marginalized. Also, I kinda like McD, although of course it's way too early to tell.

While this is too early to tell what McD will bring to the table, up to this point the Bills are not conducting business as usual. And we will see what the entire draft class looks like. Up to know, I like the change.
Brawndo Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Bills trade up with Rams Deals now flying. Bills traded picks 37 and 149 in 4th to the Rams for 44 and 91st in third round. Zay Jones is the pick
TrueBlueGED Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Bills trading up for a WR they're going to throw to approximately 40 times. Bills gon' Bills.
