You just made some posters very angry. I have a feeling he was going to win the poll for the next Bills pick.
That would be the primary job of Miami's GM.

With the 55th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Miami Dauphins select T'Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas.
Miami is happy to see Sweat fall down the board. We believe the family oriented environment in the city of Miami will be a healthy one for Sweat, and we're confident he will toe the line...
@LEBills and the Cowgirls are on the clock.

He was taken at 12 😀
😁After pointing out someone else did that, it comes back to bite me. And I was so excited....It's that dam trade info!
Back to the drawing board...
Ps. I updated the original post. @BigdaddyinOrlando is up

With the 21st pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Chop Robinson, Edge, Penn State.
In the last 4 picks, the top 2 DTs were taken along with 2 of their OL targets. Given Jaelen Phillips is recovering from an achilles injury, and his backup is recovering from knee surgery, the Phins opt to fortify the position.
@BigdaddyinOrlando and the N'awlins Aints are on the clock.

With the 15th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select Jared Verse, DE, FSU…go NOLES!
The Colts went into the draft with a huge need at Corner and would’ve selected Quinyon Mitchell if available. However, the board didn’t fall in favor of that to take place. That being said, Verse is far and away the best player available on our draft board. We also considered Latu, but had injury concerns, and Nate Wiggins, who is a bit undersized (light in the pants). Verse was the cleanest prospect left. With all the new young guns in the division, what better way to counter, than to bolster the pass rush.Taken at 11.

Yep I can do that. I updated and redid the google sheet. The rankings are a bit different and I pared another column off the sheet.
They now include consensus of 9 people and in case anyone is interested of who they are:
Matt Donnelly Dynasty Vipers
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros
Aaron Schill FF Faceoff
Steven Pintado The Fantasy Coaches
Mason Riney RPO Football
Charlie Campbell Walter Football
Eric Edholm NFL.com
Daniel Jeremiah NFL.com
Tankathon.com (group effort)
link should be the same but just in case: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kKiIOcYaq1A0SI-iV5sNBub4GWz-FyrSHSHMSKqV_SQ/edit#gid=0
The new rankings reminded me of a comment I wanted to make about Mock1, I was surprised RB Jaylen Wright wasn't picked. Someone will covet that speed at the position. I was considering him at 68 for the Pats because of the run on WRs.
Ps. Not that I put much stock in his Mocks, but Reuter has a new 5-round mock out and he as the Bills taking my guy Tez Walker at 60.

6 teams left. Go ahead and take one
@BillfromNYC Interested?
Ok, give me Miami then. Might as well take another hated AFCE team.

@Virgil I'll let someone get in who missed out on 1, but if you get to a point where you're struggling to fill the last spot or two, then go ahead and put me in to fill it.

I'm posting this because I've seen a lot of people peg him as a Bills target in the 2nd round, although I never thought he would make it to our pick. With this news it's possible he falls down the board.
He might fall down the board a bit, but that's the kind of things the Bills shy away from. No chance now.

With the 68th pick in the 2024 TSW Mock Draft, the 6-time Super Bowl Champion** New England Patriots select Tez Walker, WR North Carolina.
While the WR carcass has nearly been picked to the bone, with the Patriots WR room being such a mess, so they take a flyer on the flyer Walker (4.36 combine 40). Two years ago they took another speedster Ty Thornton, but the thin-framed track star has been injury prone. Walker is a somewhat under the radar prospect as he spent the first two years at Kent State before transferring to NC and did not become eligible until the fifth game of the season, yet he was 12 yards shy of leading the team in yards, averaging 17 ypc, and lead the team in TD receptions with 7. [If you haven't seen his highlights, I'd suggest checking them out.]
The Patriots end the TSW draft with their QB of the future, his blind-side protector, and a WR prospect who could blossom into a WR1. We're satisfied with the outcome.
The Chargers of LA and @BigdaddyinOrlando are on the clock.
** Kudos to Darth @Mark Vader for suggesting the asterisks to indicate this questionable statistic.

What annoys me is the this notion of a #1 receiver. The Chiefs won the last two championships without much at receiver but a TE who was a threat. The Niners have a #1 receiver who is a slot guy and is hurt a-lot. The Patriots won all those years without a real #1 and the time that they had one in Randy Moss they lost to the Giants. The Eagles won one with a backup QB and Zach Ertz.
I think it is just an overrated notion that we need a big X or whatever. Erhardt-perkins doesn’t even really have these traditional receiver positions built in. It’s about concepts and you have an outside guy and an inside guy. In trips you have an outside guy, and inside guy and a middle guy and they run different routes depending on the concept called and the coverage.
We just need good players who can run routes and be where they are supposed to be. If you can get a game breaker who the defense has to double, thats amazing.
How many true #1s are there in the league anyway? Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, Ja’Marr Chase…CeeDee Lamb and Amon Ra St. Brown probably but they are really slot players. Davante Adams probably, but he is slowing down as is Cooper Kupp and I need to see Nacua repeat this year before I annoint him. Deebo, but he is a slot/gadget guy. This notion that you need a true number 1 is a myth. There are like 5-6 teams in the league with true #1 receivers imo.
Just give your all world QB weapons that are reliable, catch the football, and play within the system.
I wouldn't call this a ringing endorsement of your argument given it took a miracle reception by David Tyree to upset the Patriots and ruin their almost perfect season.

I had a first on Orlando Brown and never waivered because of the underwear olympics. Dude could play on tape and that is what mattered.
Yes, but the difference between us is you are a very serious evaluator, and my method is ad hoc. I wish I could remember the assessment I relied on, but he said something similar, go by the tape, not the measurements (I seem to recall he flat out bombed the combine, yes?).
Since I only look at a few highlights for players I'm interested in, I didn't have the steadfast belief that someone like you would have. I think my picks followed the rankings more closely after that first pick. 😅

So this is year 6? Wow, it's crazy how much it all blurs together
It might even be longer than that? That's one of the few things I remember from these drafts, so checking the year he was drafted tells me that was 2018. I certainly don't remember if 2018 was the first draft I participated in?
-
Btw @Virgil, your "running of the draft" goes back to at least 2018 because my current pick reminds me of my R1 pick in that draft. Can't remember what team I as picking for, but it was late in R1 and they needed a lot of OL help. Despite the consensus on him, I selected Orlando Brown Jr in R1. I certainly got panned by a few participants, but he turned out to be a pro bowl player. Just shows you drafting is as much a crap shoot as it is good evaluation. For me it's the former, not the latter.

With the 34th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the 6-time Super Bowl Champion (I hope you hate reading this as much as I hate typing it) New England Patriots select:
Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma. @gonzo1105 and the Arizona Cardinals are on the clock.
Having taken their QB of the future in R1, the Patriots are extremely happy find Guyton available to protect McCarthy's blind side. The Patriots are much higher than most teams on the athletic but raw Guyton and would've considered jumping the Ravens had trades been an option. With former Bill Conor McDermott currently slated in as the starting LT, we expect Guyton to learn the" Patriot Way" quickly and will transition him into the starter's role over the course of the season.

Lol, it’s a different world than it was in 2014. The salary cap in 2014 was $133M. The top 10 highest cap hits for a wr in 2014 averaged $12m or 9% of the salary cap. So basically, the teams with the highest paid guys paid them 9% of the cap. In 2024, they average over $26M and 10.3% of the cap. That is BEFORE Jefferson and Chase sign their extensions. That number will be roughly 12% when they do. We need to STOP comparing situations to different generations. For perspective 3% of the current cap is almost $8m of cap space. What happened at WR in 2014 is not comparable to 2024.
It's not the cap that did him in. He gambled on Watkins and (eventually) lost. For Many reasons of course.
That said, I'd be more supportive of a move like this with last year's roster vs the current one, which is in the middle of a rolling reboot.
I could be convinced to get behind your move though. There's more than one way to get to the big dance.

When folks suggest giving up significant 2025 draft capital for a WR, one name comes to mind, Doug Whaley...

It seems to be clear cut. Unless you're expecting a batch of mail-in votes....? 😁

Motorin actually offered me the two ones and I would have hoped Fashanu or Odunze dropped and neither did so I would have been slightly reaching for Brian Thomas or taking Quinyon Mitchell who I have as the # 1 CBYeah, he was already trying to wheel and deal, offered me a boatload for #3!

With the 3rd pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the 6-time Super Bowl champions select J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan.
@gonzo1105 and the Arizona Cardinals are on the clock.
While most expect the Patriots to select the LSU QB, Eliot Wolf seeks to have lightning strike twice from the same college with another Michigan QB.

I agree in terms of their talents. And three years ago I might have agreed with what they'd do. But I suspect they do feel just a little bit of urgency given everything. Maybe Newton just goes much earlier (I'd take him at #9 if I was Chicago and the top 3 WRs were gone - he is my top ranked defensive player) and it saves any debate.
You did state that you could see the Bills moving up or back here, and I think that is more likely than Beane picking a WR who is a borderline R1/2 talent over a top 15 talent. Again, this is just based on your scenario.

That completely alters my draft strategy for TSW Mock 3.0.
