I always read @GunnerBill posts as he has excellent insight, but is that the best way to evaluate? There's a big point slide scale across Round 1. Won't that over-penalize for inaccuracy at the top of the round vs. those at the bottom. Make a mistake on one guy in the top 10, Stingley was picked much higher than many expected, and you've blown the whole mock. Perhaps some of these guys in the lower end of your list did much better later in the round, where the picking is far more difficult.

Bills will not be picking at #25. They're trading back and selecting Breece Hall w/ pick #3x (maybe #32 w/ Lions or early 2nd round)

Doesn't the tweet on Ronaldo's say that its "the Niall Quinn statue". Who is this guy.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_Quinn

Actually the source for this story is...... Spencer Brown,

Isn't that the strategy that we mostly navigated through the drought? Fitzpatrick and Tyrod scream out as the types of QB that it could theoretically work with. We had the best rushing attack in the league for a few years with Shady + Tyrod. But we ended up with .500 teams with just Tyrod barely making playoffs once, because of Dalton/Boyd heroics.... and then 1 and done in playoffs. I think the strategy could get you to a fringe wild-card team, but not much further. Even if they had beaten Jacksonville in playoffs, I have a hard time believing they had any shot at winning SB

I'm confused.... OJ's 2000 yard season was in 1973, he was traded in after 1977 season and had retired by 1980 when this game is?!? Also, the most exciting 1:47 seconds of football just happened in January the last time you saw them play...

Perhaps a brief summary of what is interesting about this particular game without having to watch it for two hours??

As someone who doesn't know jack about college football, I'm a big consumer of mocks. They lead me to watch YouTube videos of players the Bills may pick. By the time draft-time rolls around I have a pretty good idea of who's going where and what their needs were. While any given mock itself may have been inaccurate, the process of seeing them in the two month leading up to the draft are great for the fan experience. That's all they're meant to be... entertainment for us fans

Hasn't the McKissic $ been consumed by the tsunami of the last couple days?

Right, but there weren't any rumors of a LB like Jack being available either. We all believed that Barclay would be our backup QB last year, until the moment they announced they were signing Trubisky There's a thread every week on TBD about getting rid of Edmunds. Here's the opportunity now. Trade him and sign Jack

Hmmm....

No move is executed until the first day of the NFL league year (March 16). By then every team has to be cap compliant including any trade that they would be completing on that day. Until then all trades that you're hearing about are agreed to in principle, but not yet executed. For example, Wilson can't report to the Bronco facility yet

This one probably belongs in the "what was your worst hot take on TSW ever" thread from a week or two ago.... this board lit up when that tweet came out. And 90% of the takes wanted him on the Bills

The video of Allen's second start and famous upset of the Vikings popped up on my YouTube feed. I hadn't seen these highlights in a long time, but it got me thinking about young QBs. Lots of teams are wondering or hoping the can get the next Josh Allen, with the common refrain that he "sucked" his rookie season, but then steadily improved to become what he's been in year 3/4. Admittedly his stats weren't off the charts that first season. But looking at these game highlights his affect goes way beyond hurdling Barr, it shows all the ingredients of the guy we see today. These highlights don't look all that different from a game he might have had this season. While not every game looked like this as a rookie, he also had impressive games against the Jaguars and two against the Dolphins where won AFC Player of the Week to close the season. So teams can think they have the next JA17, but he looked impressive right from that first season....

Just a few to add... -- Don Beebe in 2/3rd round WR group -- Nigel Bradham belongs with the LB group in 4th round plus. Easily on par w/ Holocek, Crowell, Patton, Marve -- Perhaps Jaime Nails in 4th round OL? -- Robb Riddick in 4+ RB group certainly belongs! Otherwise it seems pretty complete

So I guess the same applies to Andy Dalton who got Dak Prescott and Justin Fields hurt over the last two seasons?

Amen,... it would be great to finally end him with that wuss teal and pink orange jersey on

Stop talking about QBs, just keep building around Tyrod. He just made the playoffs and we have all this draft capital

He did

I agree with all your points! I just can't see them putting big money behind any back as the Josh era unfolds. We'll never have cap $ to prioritize that position. We should be looking in rounds 2-5 pretty regularly to see if we can find a Jonathan Taylor (2nd rd), but otherwise I think we'll be playing with a string of Singletarys and never resigning any of them. If there's competition for his services, someone else will be willing to pay more than we should, if there's not then he wasn't good enough.

Patterson would be a total x-factor w/ Allen! They should have seen if it was possible to get him at the previous trade deadline

Really good interview! Here's link https://www.buffalobills.com/video/jordan-palmer-he-s-the-best-athlete-to-ever-play-that-position

If that move was about Daboll, why didn't he play him during the year? Its not like we didn't need a hard north-south RB during the season. He is the OC after all

Every GM and coaching interview for an AFC opening has to start with.... "did you watch last Sunday's game?...... in your thinking, what do we have to do to compete with that?"

Imagine what Allen would have cost if they had waited until the end of the season to do his extension after the playoffs he just had.... $50m/yr??
