nit-picking. Are you happy with the playoff performance. Almost lost to a rookie QB on Miami, and then couldn't get pressure against a OL with 3 backups starting. This following 13 seconds, and many times during the season giving up 3rd and long. This D is anything but clutch, and if it played against better QBs this year would have a much worse regular season (i.e. who cares) ranking. The D is built for mediocracy.

It's Friday. Let's do some mock drafts. This one is from pro football network's program: 27. Anton Harrison OT Oklahoma (appears to be very athletic, and solid in run and pass blocking) 59. Cedric Tillman WR Tennessee (injured last year, year before put up monster numbers. Big WR. Next D. Adams or that guy from Seattle whose name escapes me). 91. Joe Tippmann OC Wisconsin (don't know a ton about him, but gave up 0 sacks his senior year. Appears capable...my guy Patterson was gone by this point). 130. Ronnie Hickman S Ohio State (know nothing about him. @YoloinOhio might?) 139. Kendre Miller RB TCU (physical RB according to what I've read) 164. Deshawn Pace LB Cincinnati (not a physical back, but good in zone coverage and reading a QB. Seems like an Edmunds replacement.) Analysis not all mine. Too a lot from https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/

here is another attempt for you draft gurus. I like this one more: 27. Anton Harrison OT Oklahoma (appears to be very athletic, and solid in run and pass blocking) 59. Cedric Tillman WR Tennessee (injured last year, year before put up monster numbers. Big WR. Next D. Adams or that guy from Seattle whose name escapes me). 91. Joe Tippmann OC Wisconsin (don't know a ton about him, but gave up 0 sacks his senior year. Appears capable...my guy Patterson was gone by this point). 130. Ronnie Hickman S Ohio State (know nothing about him. @YoloinOhio might?) 139. Kendre Miller RB TCU (physical RB according to what I've read) 164. Deshawn Pace LB Cincinnati (not a physical back, but good in zone coverage and reading a QB. Seems like an Edmunds replacement.) Analysis not all mine. Too a lot from https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/

Alright, I tried to get an impact WR, OT, and C/G in the first three rounds. No clue how it went after that. It did result in me drafting a WR higher than he likely goes, but this kid is fast and productive, so I'm not too worried. He looks like a day 1 weapon. Also happy with the T and C/G. What do you all think, particularly the draft gurus.

thanks for the write up. Hopefully we get impactful WR, OT, C/G in first 3.

Mattison, dude has been a stud when Cook missed time. Here, he could be the No1. and play with Cook’s brother. For 2.2 mill that would free up a pick for OT.

pretty much. Even if the women made it up, they had time to investigate and generally charges would be filed by now, clearly she just suddenly changes her story

First, thank for the in-depth write up on the upcoming FAs. I agree with going after Turner, although I don't know he walks into the role. I'd like to get a C/G out of the 1st two rounds, my top pick currently being Patterson from ND. If we get a WR in FA, I wouldn't mind hitting an OT in rd. 1 and guard/center in rd. 2. My bolded below have that addition. LT- Dion Dawkins LG- Ryan Bates C- Mitch Morse RG- Trai Turner (Patterson (ND)/Schmitz (MN)) RT - Mike McGlinchey (Steen (AL); Duncan (MD); Jones (OSU).)

agreed. And Bean appears clueless, as he has critized one area of Josh's play is that he "takes too many hits." Well, genius, if you got him an actual OL and RB, he wouldn't have to be our QB who is always running for his life, and our top rusher. a good analysis, but Kelly and Reed (and I agree that Reed is horribly underrated) were fantastic, but they had a MUCH better cast around them from coaching, to OL, to RB, and other WRs. Diggs disappears in playoffs because of the OC and lack of other threat anywhere.

mention KC drafting Creed Humphry on here again and I hope the mods ban you for life...../s/ the Bills inability to play rookies who are better than starters is maddening. McD/Dorsey can't evaluate talent in a draft or on the field. Shakir is clearly better than McKenzie, but never played until playoff time. Hodkins going to NYG and instantly contributing.

I'd be fine if he is the BPA in the 1st. Then get C/G Patterson in the second. You've instantly upgraded receiving and blocking. I'd rather grab a WR in FA given that the class here is not deep, but lots in FA. you're correct that TE is not an issue, but the issue is creating the best chance for the offense to succeed. If we get another TE who can block and catch, we add a receiving/scoring threat and a lineman. Would I rather go OT or WR in the 1st, absolutely, but the top OT and WRs may be gone by then. I don't want Bean reaching like he did with DEs.

looks like the twitter account faked the predictions, and just made random ones for the future.

how far back has he made a correct prediction? At some point his luck runs out, hopefully this year, because it would be very Bills like to make it in 2024, then lose.

tackle, draft a LB. Edmunds does not make many impactful plays, he's good, not elite. An OT could make the offense consistently elite and allow for the chance to establish a complementary running game and give Allen time to make deep throws, let WRs get open underneath, etc.

Dawkins and Saffold made it off name recognition. Knox earned it, he flashed--had some great catches. If only Dorsey had a better handle on how to use a TE.

OL and WR!!! Perhaps a DT if we can trade Oliver. Some decent DTs in FA.

Thanks, enjoy the dialogue. The BPA thing is difficult. On the one hand, you have the issue you raised: what if it's not a premier position (imagine a kicker who could kick 65 yard FGs routinely, likely BPA, but still...). On the other hand, you have Bean going targeted at positions like DE and drafting Basham over Humphry. Or AJ over Logan Wilson (if you need D), or Van Jefferson or Ersa Cleveland. I think a TE is a premium enough position for me to go BPA if the guy profiles as a game-changer (of course, having an OC who knows how to use his is a different story). Hopefully a great WR or OT falls to us and we don't need to get fleeced trading back. I like the idea of getting an OT and moving Dawkins to guard. Then draft Patterson in the 2nd as the other G who takes over at C when Morse retires. I'm just getting started reading about the prospects, but it does seem to lack high end talent, although does seem to offer a decent amount of OL help, which we sorely need (although no "studs" pop when we pick).

def need to draft a G/C. Patterson from ND looks like the perfect fit. Can play G, then move to C. (played C at ND, gave up 0 sacks through Jr. year, can't find Sr. year stats yet.)

yep, him and CB Bradberry. yep, him and CB Bradberry.

The guy who won games with Cooper Rush is the issue here? I’d take him over Dorsey

to be clear, I would not like that pick, but I think what is really wrong is not going BPA. He was BPA in that scenario. Ideally the Bills would trade down to grab more picks, then get an OT, Patterson, WRs, etc.

with a QB on a rookie contract, this draft was a bust. Diggs was an easy "pick," and as others have pointed out, getting Jefferson would have been better. AJ is what makes this a really busted draft. No way he should have been taken there, and there were many impact players after him. He has not helped this team win games. Another huge miss with Moss. Drafted to be a "power back", but too small to be a power back. Just another Bean blunder. Davis: a good pick, but he's a 3rd WR, not a 2nd. Fromm: like Hodgkins and so many other draft picks seemingly on offense, he was never developed by the coaching staff. Bass: A great pick who is likely a top 5 kicker in the league. Can win close games for us. Hodgins: incomplete. Like other players on offense (Teller), the staff gave up on him, only for him to play out on another team. Jackson: loved the pick, was surprised he made it to the 7th. A good 2nd-3rd CB. The type of player you need to round out a D. that's the problem, no impact from those day 2 guys. Like ZERO impact. Brings it down to a C for me, IMO. Also, AJ was so bad as a rookie, that Bean doubled-down on this poor pick next draft by over drafting Groot and Basham. So many top end OL talent that Bean missed in these two drafts.

seems like a decent number of OL and DTs on the list. DL ( one of Tomlinson, Ford, Jones, Payne) and at OL (Davis or McGlinchey or McGary), grab one of the safeties also, either Gardner-Johnson or Bell. you can, but Dorsey does not appear to know how to handle RB and TEs.

would have to get War in FA. I didn’t want to just draft a WR over BPA. Mayer makes the passing offense better if Dorsey figures out how to call/design plays. He’s also a great blocker.

yeah could only use what the simulator gives. If we take Mayer and don’t throw to him and Knox I’d lose it. Need a RB eventually as Singletary is gone. Try the sim yourself, interested to see your thoughts! I agree. Was no No 2 WR left at that point. He was the closest thing.
