Who will the Bills draft The team picks at twenty-five Beane hopes for a stud

I haven't done a mock on 'The Draft Network' where this many top choices fell into my lap. With most, there are no WRs I like at 25 and sometimes no CBs. All of the top RBs are always there but I refuse to take one. There was no trading allowed. That said... 25 (Round 1): I debated between McDuffie and Garrett Wilson and ultimately went with the CB. Had I known that Kyler Gordon would still be there at 57, I would have taken Garrett in Round 1. Decisions come with consequences but I'm thrilled to get McDuffie. 57 (Round 2): Gordon was the choice. All of the top RBs were still available so I decided to wait. WRs were getting thin but George Pickens and Calvin Austin were still there but I felt Gordon was the better value and the CB position is now rock solid with these first two selections. Not at all what I was expecting to do but I'm still feeling good about my decisions. 89 (Round 3): Pickens and Austin were gone and there were no WRs here that floated my boat. Breece Hall was still sitting there so I scooped him up. Happy to land him in the 3rd and the offense gets a boost despite no addition(s) yet at WR. Truth be told, I like Kenneth Walker III better but he was not an option having been taken by KC at #50 in Round 2. 130 (Round 4): I love Jelani Woods and his physical presence and massive upside. Charlie Kolar was an option here, as well, but I have a man crush on Jelani. Still no WR but I figured I still get a potential bump in the passing game here as well as a legit red zone target for Josh. 168 (Round 5): Finally grabbed a WR in Round 5. Wanted to take one sooner but I outlined above why I didn't so the choices were getting thin. Romeo Doubs was the choice. Good size (6' 2', 200 lbs) and speed to take the top off of a defense and good separation skills. 185 (Round 6): A little late in the game for IOL, as well, but that's how the board fell and taking two CBs at the top weakened the ability to grab a 'higher profile' player. Cade Mays was the choice here. Versatile. Played all five OL positions in his time at both Georgia and Tennessee (which we all know is a coveted trait by McDermott) but projects to guard. 203 (Round 6): Opted for some LB help/depth with the selection of Micah McFadden. Would be the Mike in Frazier's 4-3 as a backup or possible short-term replacement for Edmunds. Solid tackler, decent in zone coverage, and can get after the QB, if needed. 231 (Round 7): P Matt Araiza was still sitting there with the last pick so this was a no-brainer. I know he is being projected to go anywhere from the 2nd to the 5th by some pundits but he is still regularly available in the 6th and 7th Rounds in just about every mock draft I do over several sites. We're now ten days from the NFL Draft and this has not changed. Anyway, that was my thinking with the choices for this particular mock.

Not counting late afternoon Sunday games...5.

Never, ever start a thread with this. It's an immediate 'ignore' flag.

Skyy Moore (WR - Western Michigan) Darrian Beavers (LB - Cincinnati)

Yeah, you can't but that's fine. You do you.

We'll see if anything changes under Steve Cohen and gives you more tangible evidence. The Mets have been run like a small market club for most of their existence. In any event, I'm not going to belabor the point about whether it's a NL town or not. You're not changing your mind regardless.

I've followed baseball my whole life and have family in NYC, as well. I've read enough and heard enough over the tears to know that it is a National League town. Despite their dominance in the '40s and '50s, the Yankees were still not as popular as the Dodgers and Giants. They were mostly middling to bad the majority of the '60s and '70's until George Steinbrenner bought them and they won back-to-back titles in in '77 and '78 before fading into obscurity again in the '80s. The rise of their dynasty in the '90s put them in the forefront of the minds of even casual fans. They are the more storied franchise for sure but NYC is still widely considered a NL town in baseball circles.

I know arguing with people is your thing but when both teams are doing well, the Mets own that town and it's not even close. The Dodgers and Giants were both more popular than the Yankees before they moved West in the 1950s. The Yankees are the team of the bougie. The Cowboys of baseball. Before their departure, the Dodgers and Giants were and the Mets have been since 1962, the team(s) of the blue collar fan.

The Skanks are not better than the Mets. And NYC has always been and always will be a National League town.

Brian Asamoah (LB, Oklahoma) Isaiah Likely (TE, Coastal Carolina)

Wow...hard to fathom. So sad and awful. It really is tragic when someone that young dies suddenly and without warning. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

He'll take the Matt Haack route and end up on the three time defending Super Bowl Champion Buffalo Bills in a few years.

Rachel's bush is always up in everyone's face...

Can't see any way it realistically falls this way but man what fun it would be...

I found it a little odd, as well. You may be right but it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't being sarcastic. He was (is?) a bitter and broken Jest fan.

I agree with the bolded. I saw a ridiculous mock draft the other day (PFF maybe?) that had the Bills taking one WR...in Round 7 (Bo Melton). Round 7?? Please. smh

CB and RB have been addressed in the first two rounds. Time to grab the speed WR with inside-out versatility to take the top off of defenses...Metchie.

Bonnetta is from Toronto and a Browns fan. Whenever I've seen her on NFLN, she does come across as hyperactive a lot of the time. Could be that she's just young and annoyingly 'bubbly'. Jane Slater...covers the Cowboys. Maybe she and Jerruh share the same plastic surgeon.

BOGO?

Hopefully, he doesn't need as much for hookers and blow...

I was 10 when it was announced. Having grown up with the standing red bison, I was sad at the change but grew to really like the new logo. There was a small blurb in the Buffalo News with a picture of the new helmet. My mom cut it out of the paper for me and I still have that clipping to this day.
