we coulda went DT, C, or TE....

now we have too many corners, but i guess we needed a special teams player since we lost all of ours

Looking at this realistically - and I know anything's possible, but really - who here thinks that five years down the road, Reggie Corner will have made more of a name for himself in the league than Owen Schmitt? Right, I don't think it's going to happen. I don't see how you can possibly pass a guy like this up. He's a game changer pure and simple, insofar as he can get the tough yards and he would bring the right attitude to our team. A FAR greater need than a sixth CB...

I gotta say this one REALLY caught me with a curve ball. I'll definitley root for the guy since he's a Bill now, but was not expecting this. Dre Moore, Red Bryant, Kellen Davis all still on the board and we go with a smallish corner after taking corner with the first pick. Didn't see that coming.

We could have gotten Red Bryant, Kellen Davis, Schmitt, or Okam. Instead we get another short CB.

Buffalo has enough DT's and I don't know of any Tight end after round three besides maybe Rucker that would have been an immediate improvement to the team. Still, either would have made more sense than a Corner(pardon the pun).

We could have used the pick on a backup lineman or a wide receiver.

Why not? We can pick up a good center in rounds 5-7, or trade for / sign one before the Seattle game. We have four tight ends that the staff is high on (not to mention, Royal and Schouman can finally concentrate on actually playing TIGHT END rather than the H-Back BS). And we're set at DT.

I think the staff has determined that Youboty is a bust. Corner complements McKelvin well because his strength is intercepting passes. What he lacks in size, he makes up for with play-making ability. He doesn't have to be a star, but he'll be good in certain packages.

I like it...

I would have taken the CB from Boise State, Trae Williams CB South Florida, Jack Ike CB Wisconsin, or Jack Williams CB Kent State over Reggie Corner! No website has him ranked lower than the 25th best corner back. This pick makes no sense to me whatsoever...

Exactly, what TE did you want them to pick? Finley, Cottam and Rucker were all long gone. I think they have good depth at DT and you can always find a gem at that position in round 7 or in free agency. I would of liked to see a LB for depth at the position, but I'm not going to complain.

Buffalo def. should have picked a tight end here, Every top T.E was still out there, and Buffalo let them go, just like they did in the WR free fall in round 2. Buffalo should have picked up 2 Dynamic WR's, not just 1, and to not get an Upper Echilon TE like they have over the past 4 years what are they doing in the front office on day 2. D Grade for day 2, horrible pick with the RB from d-2 as well, we already Have Marshawn and Freddy, why waste another draft pick on this bum.

This guy from Akron is way to PUNIE to play CB against the big WR's, and against the run. I hope he works out, but it looks like another BUST.

Why don't you think he would have been a better choice here?
