How much faster do you need/want? A WR does not need to run 4.3 to be a dangerous downfield threat.

I don’t especially want Burden either, but he most definitely is fast.

I think Sanders would be a designated pass rush DT this year and hopefully get a little bigger by 2026. That can still be very valuable and worth a late 2nd (imho).

It’s going to be a long wait hoping for any DT and DE. They will be very fortunate if any of these guys are available: DT: TJ Sanders, Alfred Collins DE: Nic Scourton, Landon Jackson, JT Tuimoloau, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Bradyn Swinson Other than those, I’m not really seeing value at DT or DE, unless you like Jack Sawyer.

Loved Lee Evans - if he can be close to that it would be a win

Isn’t Royals mostly a slot receiver? I know he has some speed and has some stoutness to his frame, but can he play Z as a primary position? I know that they need to improve at WR, but this class doesn’t seem very strong and there is only so much room in the middle of the field with Kincaid and Shakir running in there - don’t they need someone who can win out wide?

I really hope they can nab Sanders. To my eyes he is very quick and disruptive. He isn’t a big stout run defender, but for interior pass rush he would be a nice get. I know that’s more hope than expectation… I don’t think Mike Green is a consideration for the Bills because of the off-field issues. If not for those, he likely would have been picked already.

That would be pretty nice.

Just looking ahead to round 2. Anybody know why TJ Sanders is in the late 90s of Daniel Jeremiah’s top 150? I really liked what I saw of him in a few games.

Ah a little surprised over Amos, but OK

Welp they have their pick now.

How serious are the injury concerns with Will Johnson?

I fear a run on corners starts about now.

Surprised they did not go CB

Still 11 picks before Bills

He might be, it’s the incomplete picture of his athleticism that is concerning. If they stick at 30 or trade up just a little and take him, I’d be happy. But to me to give up enough to go to 21 for him just seems too steep. You could be right though.

Ok, still similar point - little to no athletic testing and what little he did wasn’t stellar. I would take Johnson at 30 if available, but I would not give up too much to move up for him. My guess is he runs high 4.5 range if he wasn’t willing to run a 40. He also has had multiple injuries. Don’t get me wrong, I like Johnson but lacking his athletic testing scores is a little concerning for a CB.

How many guys who aren’t hurt were talked about as top 10 picks in January and now are not considered that highly? I agree that everyone thinks Revel is an elite athlete, but he hasn’t been subjected to the testing that others have and he didn’t play against top competition in college. If he is available at 30, I can understand taking Revel, but trading up for him with that uncertainty would be tough for me to justify.

Who is playing CB?

The league is also valuing DT who can collapse the pocket or penetrate on passing downs.

There are rumblings of injury concerns and he has declined to run the 40 all offseason, so questions about how fast and athletic he really is. Enough to make him fall out of round 1? I don’t know about that.

I understand what you’re saying, but I think I’d be satisfied with a 10 year starter who makes a few Pro Bowls. The argument that Emmanwori is more likely to be even better seems to be based purely on size-speed. We know that every year there are size speed guys who never do great things. I know it’s a philosophical discussion, but to my untrained eye, Starks is the better prospect. I also don’t think the Bills will pick either of them.

From Ourlad’s scouting service: “Red flag medicals are likely to bump down defensive tackles Deone Walker and Derrick Harmon along with offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and edge defender Nic Scourton, among others. “ They also think Kenneth Grant will go in the top 15.

Pure BPA is subjective to begin with. How do compare different positions? Is this OG better than that CB?

There is likely not going to be “elite” talent at 30 let alone later.
