More than likely not realistic because Jaelan Phillips is not falling this far but I drafted based on availability, not whether I thought someone would or should be there. I also made several trades down and, historically, Beane is more likely to trade up. (BOLDED numbers were the Bills' original draft position prior to this mock draft) 30 (1st Round - TRADE): Traded #30 & #93 (3rd Round) to LA Chargers for #47 (2nd Round), #77 (3rd Round), #118 (4th Round), & 2022 2nd Round. 47 (2nd Round): Jaelan Phillips - EDGE Miami (FL) -> Young, athletic Edge rusher needed for the Bills' 4-3 D and offers versatility, as well. Would be an absolute steal here and, as I said, I don't see it being realistic but love it in this scenario. 61 (2nd Round - TRADE): Traded #61 & #118 (4th Round acquired from LAC) to Cleveland for #64 (2nd Round), #110 (4th Round), & 2022 7th Round. 64 (2nd Round): Tommy Togiai - DT Ohio State -> Adds youth at the 1 technique and figures to be the eventual Lotulelei replacement. Very good run defender who should help shore up the middle of the D. 77 (3rd Round): Hamsah Nasirildeen - S Florida State -> Big, physical TE neutralizer that McDermott desires for his D. Scheme versatile and would project to be the 'Big/Buffalo Nickel'. 93 (3rd Round - TRADE): Traded #30 (1st Round) & #93 to LA Chargers for #47 (2nd Round), #77 (3rd Round), #118 (4th Round), & 2022 2nd Round. 110 (4th Round - TRADE): Traded #110 (acquired from LAC) & #236 (7th Round) to Tennessee for #126 (4th Round), #166 (5th Round), #232 (7th Round) & 2022 6th Round. 126 (4th Round): Paulson Adebo - CB Stanford -> Athletic corner with good size (6' 1", 190 lbs). Good ball skills and can play on the outside in McDermott's zone scheme. The more I see of this kid, the more I like him. 161 (5th Round from Las Vegas): Austin Watkins - WR UAB -> Was hoping to land someone with jets and return potential like Eskridge or Newsome but they were both gone by the time I pulled the trigger on a WR. With the addition of Sanders and re-signing of McKenzie, WR took a backseat for me. This kid is intriguing with a nice combo of speed, hands, route running, & vertical ability. Hopefully, he could also carve out a niche on special teams. 166 (5th Round): Garret Wallow - LB TCU -> Played safety at one time and can blitz. A little light but might be able to add a little weight and would eventually slot in at the 'WILL'. 174 (5th Round): Robert Hainsey - OT Notre Dame -> Depth for the o-line. Could be a swing tackle or possibly slide to guard. 213 (6th Round): Chris Evans - RB Michigan -> Went with untapped potential here. He has good cutting ability and the ability to get the big gainers that Singletary and Moss don't. The physical traits are there but his lack of of downs the last couple of years does make him a bit of an unknown/gamble. 232 (7th Round): Brenden Jaimes - OT Nebraska -> More depth for the o-line, specifically right tackle or guard. 236 (7th Round from Carolina - TRADE): Traded to Tennessee along with #110 (acquired from LAC) for #126 (4th Round), #166 (5th Round), #232 (7th Round) & 2022 6th Round. Future Draft Picks Acquired: 2022 2nd from LAC 2022 6th from TEN 2022 7th from CLE

Nice guy, nice story, next to no chance of making the final roster. 25% is way too generous. He'll be 30 in May and has little to no experience playing the game. His 15 minutes are almost up. Kudos for even giving it a shot, Christian, and good luck to you.

Yes, he certainly had a nose for the sport...

That's approximately the value of a 5th this year.

It's 'Trubisky' (likely Russian) not 'Trubiski' (Polish).

Solid get by the Bills. He should be able to keep the ship afloat for a few games in the event that Josh Allen gets hurt (God forbid). Big upgrade from Matt Barkley, IMO.

Back in the day, she probably would have been described as a 'butterface'. Whenever I see people on these boards debating about her, I always think of the 'Two Face' girl Jerry was dating on an episode of 'Seinfeld'. It all depends on the lighting...😂

Guess you missed my follow-up on the prior page. It wasn't really a serious statement...I suppose the sarcasm was too subtle and got lost in translation.

Belichick will be 69 at the start of the 2021 season. I think this is a sign that he wants to retool on the fly for one more run rather than go into full rebuild mode. He won't coach forever and, hopefully, he doesn't find another QB before he calls it quits.

It was said more 'tongue-in-cheek' but I wouldn't put anything past the underhanded chicanery of Goodell & Kraft.

So another 3rd Round comp pick likely coming to the Cheats next year...

As long as that's a 'big nickel', I'm good. 😉

Looks like another team friendly deal by Beane & Co. Good job again. Glad that DW is coming back at a reasonable rate. These two re-signings have given them a lot of draft flexibility now. Should be pretty interesting considering that they don't pick until #30...or do they? 😉

I never thought they would re-sign him. I had already moved on and figured that a linebacker would be taken somewhere between the 1st and 3rd Rounds. Great job, Brandon Beane!

It depends who is on the board. In Buscaglia's mock, he has them taking Rondale Moore in the 2nd Round. He's absolutely worth consideration there and would add an element to the WR corps that is currently missing, especially with Brown gone. If you're going by his mock, Moore has the capability to be the returner and a good one at that. His biggest question mark is his durability. He's small but, if he stays healthy, he's an electric 'do all' weapon that would give Daboll a lot of flexibility. He can be the 'gadget guy'.

The 'bloodletting' has officially reached Buffalo.

Not surprising in the least. He offered the biggest cap savings.

I respect your bold sense of adventure. It's not the journey, it's the destination kinda thing, huh? 😉

Follow the clues, grasshopper.

That seems a little light for a linebacker.

What in the ham sandwich, Ridge?!

We took the kids down to Disney in Orlando for years. One of the first things you learn is, if there is water, assume there could be a gator. Take no chances. What happened to that poor toddler at one of their resorts a few years back was horrific.

I don't think I would have thought of Totie Fields even if I were staring at her picture. 😂 (Thanks for engaging though)

Bingo! Indeed! (See above)
