I thought the bounty Jags gave up was the biggest surprise...but Tet in the top 10 is also a surprise, I thought he was going to go fall at least into the teens.

The overpay IMHO is the price they paid for the position they took.

Especially since WR isn't a big need, they need to address the trenches. I mean Bengals have the best QB and duo WR combo in the league and haven't made the playoffs since 2022. Trevor is NOT Burrow. Miami is another cautionary tale...another team with a high paid QB and high paid WR's and terrible in the trenches. And what has it got them? 0 playoff wins, no better than a 6th seed and they missed the playoffs this year and probably miss again this next year. Youngest GM in the league building a team like young people do...like its a game of Madden and missing on the indisputable fundamentals of you build a roster through your trenches. Jags have issues in the trenches on both sides of the ball. And now they have no premium picks this year and lost their first next year.

I cant believe I am saying this...but wow, Browns just crushed the start of this draft.

I was amped about the pick too sadly. He was considered the best weapon in the draft.

Hunter can be special...but I am highly skeptical he can do that and reach that potential splitting time.

Im in.

Khalil Mack. Too Soon? ha

tomato - tomatoe

I hope Hunter can also play LT

Best move I have seen Browns make in years....don't like this for Jags

WOW - That is a QB like trade package for a WR/CB. Who is going to block for Trevor? 1st, 2nd, 4th and next years first? That is crazy to me for a WR when they got BTJ already and your OL is dog poo

Yeah, TV Broadcast always has a slight delay, so people see picks going out on social media and stuff prior to the broadcast and then tip them as a spoiler a lot in threads or shout box especially. Its a lot more fun for people to watch the pick unfold and suspense build on the broadcast than just randomly see some shoutbox post of a name.

Awesome thanks for sharing!

One option that has been standing out for me is if Dart is still there at 30. I think the Giants would be in legit play to move up from 34 to get him, and there is obvious connection and relationship between our 2 front offices. Dart seems like a Daboll guy and talk has been they have legit interest. So lets say Dart is on the board there and Giants want to make the move. - We send 30 & 132 (our late 4th) and get back 34 & 99 (Their 2nd pick in the 3rd round). At 34 we can still probably land one of the coveted CB's or DT's, maybe even one of Amos or Grant. Now armed with a pick in the 3rd at 99, Bills could use that and maybe another day 3 pick like 109 to get as high as pick 38/39 without giving up our other 2nd rounder. Personally, if we did trade back and land a pick in the 3rd, I think I would rather stay at 56 and keep the extra 3rd so we can target a deep threat, someone like WR Donte Thornton who I don't think makes it to us in the 4th personally. But none the less, that 3rd gives them more trade up ammo without having to lose one of our 2nd's to get a guy they may covet at whatever position they didn't go with our initial pick. I know in this mock that isn't an option as we set out to do one with a trade up, which is also a viable option come draft day. But just in general, I have been thinking that Dart being there at 30 could create an interesting small trade down opportunity potentially with someone like Giants or even Browns. Other teams could be in the mix if Beane was willing to go back a little further, but Giants would make a lot of sense.

This was just good entertainment across the board. I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes, and that back 9 had me locked in lol.

Oh yeah, I get that, I was just more talking what I think could happen in the real draft with Beane given we have so much day 3 ammo. And yeah, the guys projected in the back half of round 1 through round 2 all have wide draft slot ranges this year, more so than normal IMHO. So its tricky trying to guesstimate where some of these guys might go for sure. I haven't had as much time this year with 2 kinds under 2 now to put into the draft, which is why I didn't even do any of my normal mocks this year. And the main reason for that is because of just how much more time and work it was going to be this year with all the wide ranges guys could go and how many different ways thing go right out the gate in the top 10...even top 5...picks that would cascade and change everything. So kudos to you two for putting the time in. Will be a fun draft to watch, I always enjoy them more when picks are less certain/obvious, especially early that can really shift things and make it that much more interesting to follow in terms of who is coming down the board to our our picks.

With this pool of choices...I would list Amos as the slight betting favorite to be the Bills pick. Obviously it comes down to how the Bills grades are on these guys, but Amos just seems to fit what they want at CB. That being said, if they do go CB here, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them take Hairston either given Beane recent move to more physical players. Still can't discount some of the other guys here, just I still think CB feels the most probable at 30 based on their draft visits. Personally, I think I would go DT then try and move up from 56 and land a CB using some of the extra day 3 ammo we have.

It was actually Rahm who did it the second time where Rahm swapped out his range finder with Phils.

Nice work 👏 I think this was a very plausible outcome for the Bills, and if this was the Bills haul over the first 3 picks most would be pretty satisfied and happy with that. The only thing I would say is I have a feeling in the real draft that DT may be BPA when we are on the clock at 56. Respectfully I wont give away names of your mock here in the thread, I but I think who you have us taking at 56 may be gone by 56. I could also see Beane making a small move up from 56 too with the extra day 3 ammo we have to either get who you mocked at 56 or possibly a DT they covet (or CB if they didn't go CB first).

This is essentially how I feel as well. This is why I said for the Bills its Carter, and its not really a close decision for me. If Hunter comes out and says he is abandoning one of the 2 positions all together and fully committing to one, well then I think you are talking about a much tougher decision. My skepticism on Hunter (in terms of him vs Carter as I do think Hunter is still one of the 3 best players in the draft) is entirely tied to whether its possible to reach your potential if you are not putting 100% of your development and work into that one position. Hunter has maintained he 100% still wants to play both sides...this isn't College...NFL is a different animal. I just can't see him reaching his ceiling on either side if he is splitting time between the two. And if he does ultimately commit to one or the other, we still don't know if its at WR or CB. So for me, Carter is the easy choice for the Bills today for those reasons. We aren't getting either player, but I would be ecstatic is we got either of them...the criticism of Hunter is directly tied to weighing him or Carter, I still think Hunter is an elite prospect despite my concerns on him trying to play both sides in the NFL.

If a team thinks potential injury is a concern, then that is certainly a fair thing to consider when weighing him against another premiere prospect like Hunter. And look, I love Hunter coming out and would love either player on the Bills, I just think Carter has the potential to be really special as a pass rusher and Hunter for me gives me concern if he will ever truly go all in at CB and leave WR behind (or vice versa). I am skeptical he can reach his ceiling splitting time at both positions. That being said, my understanding is that the shoulder he dinged up against Boise State and the previously unknown foot injury were not long term concerns, and likely won't even impact his rookie year even. I know he has a low lean-body-mass and some teams look at that as heightened injury risk, but I didn't think there were any major injury concerns moving forward. Have you seen or heard otherwise?

Its without question Carter, and its not close. DE Carter > CB Hunter DE Carter > WR Hunter Hunters appeal is he can play both positions...but that novelty has less value in the NFL. No matter what position Hunter commits too, Carter is a better prospect at his position than Hunter is at that position. You take Carter if given the chance. Doesn't mean Hunter isn't also one of the best prospects in the draft, but Carter is arguably the best prospect in this whole draft and has a elite potential.

With the 21st pick in the draft (via the Steelers), the NY Jets select: Mathew Golden, WR, Texas We could not be more thrilled after trading back from 7 and picking up an extra 3rd this year along with an extra 1st & 2nd next year to see Golden land here for us. We came into this draft in big need of weapons at WR and TE and to land the most explosive one in the draft after trading back is a dream scenario for us. CLICK HERE FOR HIGHLIGHTS We turned the 7th pick into: Mathew Golden, an extra 3rd this year, plus extra 1st and 2nd round picks next year. @QLBillsFan and the Los Angeles Chargers are now on the clock.

I’ll be picking shortly, just saw this
