TPS

I could see Hawes taking Morris' roster spot, focused on STs, and Hawes is definitely in-line and would get playing time as a blocker. Davidson is a receiving (move) TE and played when Kincaid got hurt. I don't know if Hawes could also take on the H-back role of Gilliam, but I think the roster decision has Davidson looking in from the outside since he's basically competing for a role that both Knox and Kincaid play. I think Davidson has a lot of potential and would hate to see him not make it, and I think he'd certainly get picked up if the Bills try to get him on the PS again.

Oliver, Carter, Rousseau, Hoecht, and Solomon are the only players (on the 53) whose contracts go beyond this year, so the Bills certainly needed to re-stock the DL; or, Beane could do his usual and patch it together with one-year vet contracts. This draft was certainly needed.

Don't know if I'd call that interesting, it was very odd. I mean, their first pick was at 30 and they took Hairston, so they were trying to get him before they got Hairston. Just a weird comment.

Irrelevant anecdote: UConn trounced UB this year too, and UB had a good year.

Could he also take over Gilliam's H-back role?

I always like to see how i did relative to the real thing. I was no where close to what Jax did, but who saw that coming? 1.0 was a no-trade mock, but as I stated here, I think they could've had one of the better drafts by trading back and picking up an Edge. Instead, they basically threw the kitchen sink at getting Hunter... My picks relative to where they were actually selected: R1 Walker, Edge 5 vs 15 I fully expected to pick Graham here, but the punky Pats selected him at 4 in this mock. R2 Hairston, CB 35 vs 30 I was very happy to see the Bills get Hairston. R3 Trapillo, OT 70 vs 56 R3 Broughton, DT 88 vs 71 I think both of my R3 picks were actually selected earlier than how it played out here based on this draft being so focused on the trenches. Interestingly, that's what I stated about both of these picks, I felt "forced" to pick them early based on need. Little did I know, neither one was picked too early. I am no draft expert, but I feel pretty good about my results here.

ESPN has Farmer as the #4 best remaining. If the Bills really like and want him, I can see Beane trading one of the 5ths and the first 6th to move up near the top of R4 to grab him. At any rate, I think Beane moves up for a player they have graded as an R3.

I was just looking at the TSW 1.0 mock, and now I understand why you were so high on him and took him in R1.

@gonzo1105 I thought they met with DT Farmer, no? Thanks for putting the list together.

Pass rushing DTs have been a hot pick in this draft.

Third, pick 88

Vernon Broughton at pick 71, @GunnerBill I feel vindicated!!! 😄

9 DTs picked in the first two rounds.

54 picks in and Amos still on the board.

56? We have 56 and 62
