So this is by far my favorite pick of the draft. Filled a need, great value at the pick, pure player at his position, won 2 championships, was a team captain for 2 championship teams in 3 years.

 

Fill a need? - Yes - moving McGovern to C after not taking a C snap in 5-6 yrs is fools gold

Bills had no back up C on the team after dealing Bates, who never seemed to get the love he deserved here. (ask me why)

 

Reached? - No

 

Has the size and skills? - yes

 

Why I love this pick:

• 3 year starter with Georgia
• Started as a pure freshman
• Team captain for 2 years in 3 at Georgia
• Starting C for 2 championship teams
• Said to be very smart calling out protections, High football IQ
• 44 consecutive starts at C
• All SEC and 2nd team All American (2023)
• succeeded with multiple OC and QB
• Georgia went 42-2 with him at C
• He is flat nasty in the run game, I have a feeling the Bills want to transition to a power team
• Puller? No, Seeks guys on the second level? Yes and he destroys them
• Healthy - no injury history
• Teammate of James Cook
• Allowed 0 sacks and only 13 pressures in the SEC last season
• I think he has given up 1 sack over the past 2 seasons against SEC competition. (check me)

 

If SVP can take the C position in pre-season, that allows McGovern to remain at LG. A big win. A strong LG keeps Dawkins at All-Pro level.

 

Keeps Dave Edwards as backup OG, which is a strong backup OG. McGovern becomes backup C and Edwards backup OG. I like that a lot more than McGovern at C.

 

This is my favorite pick of the Bills draft.
