Who is Schoen likely to draft?

Damfino : 1/21/2022 12:47 pm
Can we tell from the Bills draft history whether he will be a BPA or need first drafter?
Foundational pieces IMO......

then QB following year.

I'd expect trenches and Stingley to be high up on the list
Earliest Bills have drafted a DB  
JB_in_DC : 1/21/2022 12:51 pm : link
with Beane at GM is 4th round. Lot of DL early.

Bills heavily scouted Malik Willis

This past year.
Please. Please. Please

Fix the OL problem 1st...Then Edge...LB..CB..
WR...Maybe RB...And best available..
Based on his experience in Carolina and Buffalo

I can see two impact D players in round 1 with one being a LB if opportunity presents itself.

I he does not like the QB's I think he tries to trade back (maybe twice) and gets his D guys round 1 and then loads up on BPA with a focus on OL through the rest of the draft. Build outstanding D coupled with a young talented OL for when you strike for the QB in 2023.
he definitely doesn't seem to mind  
santacruzom : 1/21/2022 12:54 pm : link
drafting OL and DL early and often.
Defensive Line and Offensive Line  
kdog77 : 1/21/2022 12:54 pm : link
My bet he goes deep on rebuilding from the trenches: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/draft.htm

Bills have picked 5 DL and 3 OL in rounds 1-3 since 2017. Last year they went DL/DL/OL/OL.
Probably depends on the coach  
AcesUp : 1/21/2022 12:55 pm : link
But if you look at the Edge guys the Bills have drafted, Karlaftis may be a little more in play.

Hog Mollies 2: Electric Boogaloo
In Buffalo, he and Beane were patient  
Ben in Tampa : 1/21/2022 12:56 pm : link
and did not reach to find a QB in his first year

I think he's more likely to go into the year with Jones and a veteran (Mitch T?) if there isn't a QB he loves

He took Tre'Davious White in the first round in his first draft with the team
good question  
Eric on Li : 1/21/2022 12:59 pm : link
their 3 highest picks were:

Josh Allen
Ed Oliver
Tremaine Edmunds

All 3 were athletic freaks and the latter 2 (maybe all 3?) were kind of non-traditional unicorns for their positions.

Greg Rousseau also fit that profile.

Tredavious White was their other first so clearly they went defense early more than offense (though they did trade a 1st for Diggs). Not super surprising with a defensive head coach.

Beane was hired in May 2017 so he wasn't there for that draft. McDermott was hired earlier.

Beane and Schoen were hired just after the 2017 draft.

Which means they didn't draft White and did draft a QB at first opportunity.

That's a relief then considering in 2017 they traded the pick that KC used on Mahomes lol
If we hire  
Amtoft : 1/21/2022 1:14 pm : link
Daboll I could see us going with Malik Willis... Daboll coached Hurts at Alabama and then Josh Allen in Buffalo. It would be the type of QB he has had success with.

I've been thinking the same thing
You also have to put his draft history  
Bill in UT : 1/21/2022 2:06 pm : link
in context. Who did he already have on the roster when he arrived?
He's not likely  
Sammo85 : 1/21/2022 2:23 pm : link
to take two OL in the first round.

The Bills OL was not good when they took over. They built it up slowly over multiple years. Mostly via 2nd rounders and couple mid-rounders with a FA mixed in as needed (ie, Morse as C).
I think  
JFIB : 1/21/2022 2:41 pm : link
They will draft Nakobie Dean and Devin Lloyd at 5 and 7 and then load up the O-line in the rest of the draft.
...  
BleedBlue : 1/21/2022 3:04 pm : link
nothing changes.

OL at 5. if he doesnt like martinez, he drafts dean at 7. if he like martinez who is only 28, he extends him and looks for an imapct defender whether its stingley, hamilton or an edge
Has to be O-line  
brownelvis54 : 1/21/2022 5:56 pm : link
Dave Gettelmans biggest blunder (and there were many) was not fixing the O-line. All this Hog Mollie talk and look what it got us, O-line must be addressed in the draft. The key question is how much? Some might argue we need 4 O-lineman, others might say 2 or 3. O-line, Linebackers, TE and a pass rusher are huge needs.

I like Brandon Smith in the 2nd round for LBer. He has one hell of a motoer
