Mafe is still projected as a third rounder post Senior Bowl. He looked good in that game, that is why I took him there! Woolen, who knows, you might be right. We got Kyler Gordon, if you think Woolen is gone stick in a random developmental CB with athletic upside.

Love this signing. Siran's a baller.
Like the poster above's idea of moving him to safety too
-
Could be. They were there where I picked 'em on PFF, but maybe they did not adjust for Senior Bowl
.
Even if the players are different, the simulations made me think move down is key. Not a lot of difference I see in picks 25-40.

And I saw that I had a "notification" that someone commented on one of my old posts. Funny, I remember typing this. Even a blind dog sees it right once in a while:
April 2018
So stoked. Feel we got better talent at 7 and 16 than Browns got at 1 & 4. Allen is by all accounts a worker, he has elite arm talent, great running skills and ENORMOUS hands. Lighted up if you had a man crush on another - he is now our man!

We had and have plenty of offense to win. D kept us out of the dance. And we get lots of offense help in this mock - read up on Tyler Smith, Haskins is a horse, read up on Philips - Beasley reprised. Lots of help for an offense that doesn't need lots of help in this draft.

I have run the draft simulator on PFF about 100 times. Sad, I know. So I have concluded we should trade down. Of course, I Trust the Process and Beane is a wizard. So doing my best Beane, here is a shot at a mock that I liked - thoughts? Tyler Smith is listed at tackle, but he is a guard for us in this mock, projected to slide inside:
Round 1: Trade down, we get 35 and 67 from Houston for 25 and 127
Round 2 (Pick 35); Kyler Gordon, CB, Wash;
Round 2 (Pick 57); Travis Jones, DL, Conn;
Round 3 (Pick 67); Tyler Smith, G/T, Tulsa
Round 3 (Pick 89); Boye Mafe, Edge, Minn
Round 5 (Pick 166) Hassan Haskins, RB, Mich
Round 6 (Pick 184) Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA
Round 6 (Pick 202) Kyle Philips, WR, UCLA
Round 7 (Pick 242) Matt Ariaza, P, San Diego State
I liked this about the best of all the mocks I ran. Fire away!

Watching the Chiefs game, IMHO we need to enhance our speed in the secondary and be able to push the pocket from the inside as well as pressure the edges. I would like either Davis in Rd 1 and the corner they like best in Rd 2, or the corner they like best in Rd 1 and Jones or Devonte Wyatt in Rd 2. Oliver has arrived, sign him and Phillips. Move on from Star when contract is up.

The prices for Buffalo will drop like a rock as we get close to game time. At least that is my experience.

Half the people are crazy 80% of the time. Doing my best Yogi Berra. He has held off like 4 or 5 competitors, including a former first round pick, a former Pro Bowler and one of our own draft picks. Pay the man.

I ain't complaining, but he has to be one of the best values on the team. Give the man a little green and keep him next to Johnson and White for three years. Might not take too much. He gives up a little, but almost always is doing the right thing. Love the guy.

I credit him significantly for the immense joy of the 2017 season, one of my favorite years. I will never forget that team - Shady, Zo, Kyle and Tyrod made something out of nothing with McDermott leading the way. I knew we had a bright future by the time I went to Jacksonville for that heartbreaking loss. Even walking out though, I knew better days were ahead of us. 💪

For those of us of a certain age, it is hard to top the Dolphins, though the Pats have made a valiant run for most hated!

Edmunds played hurt last year. The year before showed what he can do. Now would be a great time to sign him, before he plays up to the money he would command elsewhere. I am obviously a Tremaine supporter, but everything I have ever read says he has the same work ethic as Allen and Milano. And he has the physical attributes.
I would not sign Diggs until he complains. Sign him now and you risk him becoming disenchanted when the cap rises.

Josh Allen had actually transformed the Bills
It has been a true team effort with McDermott and Beane leading. Josh has played a key, critical role. But so did Lorenzo Alexander, Meatball, Tre White, Matt Milano, Hyde and Poyer, Diggs and Beas, John Brown and The Schnowman. Great team character, among one and all. Once you build that, it becomes self-reinforcing.

Wait, I thought the Jets drafted Justin Bieber at QB? Who is this Zach guy?
-
McNeil or Shelvin

Let's get a CB2 also, to help with coverage sacks.
Maybe they think they have the CB2 in Dane Jackson. And Levi ain't half bad if he can stay healthy. But I would be fine with a CB in 3, though I prefer a nice, giant tub of goo!

Let the draft come to you, and if there is a guy you love that is close and you don't have good replacements in mind in case he doesn't make it to you, then and only then expend capital to get them, in my humble opinion. No one knows which of these draftees will work out and which will not. Zay Jones was a 2nd, Milano and I think Diggs were taken in the 5th. You spread your bets and see who has what it takes to make themselves the best they can be.
Unless, of course, you are targeting a game-changer at the top of the draft, which will usually be a QB.

Marlin, methinks we may have to revoke your “Magician” moniker
The moniker is in honor of a certain Bills wide receiver, not a claim to magical powers 🧙♂️

In his highlights there is a sack where he almost kills Brady!😎

Since you are better than me at this, could you post his letter to Panther fans as well? Thanks 🙂

Check out his letter to Panthers fans. Seems like an incredible young man -- face timed the kids of Panthers fans on his birthday etc. A "fan favorite" according to the Charlotte Observer. Given my tech limitations I can seem to attach it, but you can find it. It is awesome. Trying to embed that too, but failed again!

On Ariaza, PFF has him as the second punter on the board behind some guy named Carmada in Georgia.
