Agreed. The Bills are desperate for a QB and they wanted to make sure they got their guy. They would have made a big mistake if they drafted Nassib or Barkley in the 1st round who imo are 3-5th round talents.EJ is a fine pick if they have him as the highest rated QB, because the word is that the Eagles were looking to draft him.
If Buffalo had traded down or tried to draft him with their 2nd round pick, he probably wouldn't have been there.
lol, according to killah he was the best player this draft. Don't know what happened. I really can't understand how workouts affect draft stock.Jarvis Jones at 17 was such a steel

Oh, I don't know if I ever said that.
This is why some teams are perennially successful, and some teams draft in the top 10 every year. Jarvis played (and produced!) against the best players in the country; the only knock against him is a possible injury concern, which might be a legitimate reason but is probably not the real reason this many teams have passed on him.And of course, the Steelers take the actual stud pass rusher who actually produced in college while teams like the Browns and Dolphins take the project athletes.
Ignore the 40 times and watch the tape.
A Steel, indeed.
Makes sense in a way. As, offensively, RT was the Giants only need. So the offense is taken care off... NOW WE NEED DEFENSE. DT, CB, DB, DE and LB in the Giants next 5 picks.Pugh is a solid player, but I'm really disappointed. I would have liked to nab Sharrif Floyd who was falling or maybe take Tank Carradine and improve the pass rush. Hell, I'd even pick Te'o first. Ah well IN REESE WE TRUST
Getting tired of Teo being mentioned on mah tv. Would only take him in round 3 or higher.WE TRADED UP AHEAD OF MIN
THIS MUST MEAN MANTI
IM GONNA CRY IF ITS MANTI
The Falcons need Trufant more than Floyd or a DE. They can still get a DE in round 2 and use one of their 4ths on a DT. I dont think Trufant would have been there at 30. I dont like giving up a 3rd round pick but they got the player they wanted.I'm sad tonight.
Trufant is a high potential player and all, but trading up to get him over Floyd or Werner or Carradine is kind of frustrating
But Manti Te'O is still on the board O:-)
40 players? Giants only pick once every round dude. Of course i'd take him before round 40. I'd easily take ~10 players before Teo(roughly seven rounds, if there was a round 8 like in the old days). But again, LBs are not THAT important in a 4-3 and a team can easily create a group of ok LBs with low round picks. I've been saying it for months, Teo at round 3 would the highest i would like the Giants to take him. As the third round is high enough to get a "premium" LB like Teo. 3rd round is plenty high.who are the 40+ players you would take before teo?
edit: not saying you're not entitled to opinions about how good he is, but i will never understand comments like "i'd take him at best in the 3rd (or 4th or 5th)", as i doubt you actually know anything about projections, value, that many other players
