I'd be happy with that first pick, though I now think he's gone before that,since Will Johnson is slipping down the board.

Prisco has Will Johnson to the Bills. Another slow guy.
Google tells me he's got injury concerns, which is why he's dropping. Though, he's still Jeremiah's #16.

Daniel Jeremiah’s final mock draft, completely different than the other experts mocks. This year is going to be a disaster trying to pick the first round even more than it usually is. I mean come on now lol
What happen to Will Johnson here? He's got him at #16 on his top 150. An oversight?

These are always a lot of work so good job. I agree with most of the picks in the top 10 aside from Warren. I think a new coach that watched Sewell and Hutchinson being drafted early in Detroit will try and mirror that with either Banks, Graham or a DE du jour.I don’t know which Edge guys will go 15&16 but I can’t see those being other positions.
Im of the mindset that Hairston’s floor is going to be GB if all his medicals are clear. And him being the first CB off the board isn’t ludicrous. WJ not testing sounds like it has soured some teams and Barron will be more the eye of the beholder on if he can play outside.
I think Amos does make the most logical sense for the Bills in these mocks. A first round CB is basically guaranteed to be a starter and Amos is very good and has a clean medical history. His age isn’t normally what Beane looks for in an early pick is the only thing giving me pause from making this a lock if he is there at 30. I can’t get AZ Thomas out of my brain for the Bills, hopefully with a small trade down. We shall see.
Hairston is about one inch from being a lock as the first CB off the board, IMO.

Yup. To me, if the board fell this way, I would have stayed put at 30, and then traded right back up using both of our seconds.
To walk away from this draft with Grant and Amos would be huge for me. Any other draft picks would be a luxury to me at that point.With the names still available at 26, I don't think Beane would make the move. A lot of very good options.

With the 10th pick in the 2025 TSW 3.0 mock NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Mason Graham, DT, Michigan.
[The Bears received a couple trade offers and would have traded the pick had Graham not been available (Sorry @HappyDays and @Virgil).]
The Bears felt they had many options available at this selection, with a trade back definitely on the table, and waited to see how the board played out. Graham was just too good to pass up at this pick and will bring a strong interior push to complement Sweat and Odeyingbo on the outside.
@GunnerBill and the 49ers are on the clock.

Thanks as ever to @Virgil for this..... v1.0 is in the books!
I was interested to look at what this would mean by my board if it was the real draft. So a few highlights....
Number of drafted players that are on my big board: 97/102
- three of the five that weren't were three of the last 4 guys taken - Fairchild (not watched), McCord (not watched sufficiently to grade, although I may yet as I haven't got deep into the QBs) and Rivers (watched a bit but didn't like what I saw gave indicative late day 3 grade).
- the other two were Clay Webb (not watched) and BJ Adams (watched a bit, indicative late day 3 grade).
Best five remaining by my big board:
1. Demetrius Knight, LB, South Carolina
2. Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas
3. Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
4. CJ West, DT, Indiana
5. Zy Alexander, CB, LSU
Best value by my board of the 97 players I had graded:
Mason Taylor @section122 picked him at #77. He is my 50th ranked player.
Worst value by my board of the 97 players I had graded:
Vernon Broughton @TPS picked him at #88. He is my 137th ranked player.
Yay! Do I win something? 😄
As I wrote after that pick, I was not happy with either of the last two picks. CJ West was my other option, but Broughton seemed to have more pass rush potential; but I'm a novice here. I was really hamstrung by the no trade aspect. I was hoping Norman Lott would fall to 70; then I was hoping Walker would fall to 88. I ended up in both selections picking someone I had very little familiarity with, but I was trying to take care of their "needs".
As I mentioned, I think their optimal decision is to make some trades to meet their needs. If Hunter and Graham are gone like in the scenario that happened here, then move back into a zone where they can take one of a handful of edge rushers in the mid-first, and with the extra second they can get both a CB and DT, both in the top 50 picks. Alternatively, if one of those two are available, then grab one, and use their 2 third rounders to move back into the top 50.
What I've discovered in this exercise is they are in an excellent situation to have a great draft, and I will be paying attention to what they actually do.

With the 88th pick in the TSW NFL mock draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Vernon Broughton, DT, Texas.
Broughton has pass rush skills that can help provide pressure up the middle.
jalon Walker, Edge-OLB
Max Hairston, CB
Ozzy Trapilo, OT
Broughton, DT
The Jags are happy with their first 2 picks but felt forced into reaching on the next 2 given how the board fell. The Jags have ample ammunition and excellent pick position to wheel and deal when trades are actually considered. They should be able to fill their needs and make solid picks come draft day(s).
@RyanC883 and the Texans are on the clock.

With the 70th pick in the TSW NFL Mock Draft, the Jaguars take Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College.
With a couple DT targets taken at the end of the second round, the Jags opt to go with a versatile OT prospect who can provide solid pass pro on either side of the line. Though, we're still trying to verify rumors of headless chickens found in his garbage....
@Kirby Jackson and the NO Saints are on the clock.

With the 36th pick in the TSW Mock NFL Draft, the Jags of Jax take Max Hairston, CB, Kentucky.
Yes, the Jaguars are in need of help at the Corner position, and they pick the fastest man at the combine in Hairston. However, Max the new Jax is more than just speed, and he excels at both man and zone. He also owns the Kentucky record (3) for pick-sixes. The dude is a baller.
The Raiders and @BuffaloBillyG are on the clock.

With the 5th pick in the TSW 1.0 Mock draft, the Jaguars of Jacksonville select Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia.
With the Cheatriots taking OUR pick Graham, the ideal move would be to trade back, given the handful of good edge players to select from. Since we can't, we take the extremely productive Walker who will quickly become the leader of the defense. While there are more intriguing edge prospects, Walker is the safe pick and will pair nicely opposite Hines-Allen.
@BuffaloBillyG and the Raiders are on the clock....

Weird. I swear I saw this on my Twitter feed yesterday, then came over here to read about it, since TBD always breaks the news early, but didn't see anything. I went back to Twitter and couldn't find it. Weird.

This signing is giving me Jordan Poyer vibes...
A guy many haven't even necessarily heard of, but who has great athleticism and has flashed playmaking ability. He signs and everyone says "looks like a depth and special teams guy", and then he comes out of nowhere and wins a starting spot.
I'm not saying he'll be as good as Poyer. I'm just saying...before you say "depth only"...give the guy a chance. If there's one area where I'll happily defer to McDermott and co, its the safety position.
In any case, Bishop, Rapp, Forest, and Hamlin are likely your four safeties. Drafting one now seems unlikely.From that highlight clip, my first reaction was he reminds of Poyer.

The Bills ate going to clearly target CB’s in the first and second day of the draft.
I'll be shocked if Beane doesn't sign someone soon. He doesn't like going into the draft with an obvious need. That said, even if they do sign one, they will draft one (or more) at some point too.

Round 4: CB Dorian Strong (Virginia Tech)
Round 5: RB Jarquez Hunter (Auburn)
Round 6: TE CJ Dippre (Alabama)Thoughts:
- Joe is usually much more conservative than this. When I put on the video, I wasn't expecting he'd have Josh Sweat and Charvarius Ward on his list. Both players I would be really happy with. Though I'd bet Sweat will cost more than 20m after the deals to Garrett and Crosby.
- I'd like to see something a little more at WR then Mack returning, a 2nd Round speedster, and Josh Palmer. But he makes a good argument for why Palmer would fit this offense well.
- I wouldn't re-sign Morris and I'd probably pass on paying Gilliam that much.
- I agree that with the roster as it would be after his moves in Free Agency, we wouldn't have room for 10 Draft Picks. So he probably would move around a bit using those picks.
All in all, a fun video by Joe and an offseason i'd be relatively happy with. I really like what I've seen from Josh Sweat and how he could fit in with this Defense, opposite Groot. And a Christian Benford, Charvarius Ward starting duo would be a big step up from last season.
Not much of a plan at Safety? Is he going with Rapp and Bishop and ... a rookie 3rd rounder?

Where are you finding practice squad elevations? I've checked the Bills app and website, ESPN, NFL.com, and did a google search and not finding it. The last two weeks I couldn't find them either.

Why did you see Clapp as predictable? I was thinking Gouraige.
They have Van Demark and Grable at OT, so they needed another G as they only have Anderson.

Clapp was predictable, but I did not expect Toohill.

The Bills won't be messing with this oline in the summer. It has been the star of the team aside from Josh Allen in 2024 and all five guys are under contract for next season. They are running it back untouched IMO.
You won't get any disagreement on that last opinion. When I look at next year's need, I always come away thinking Beane has done a very good job of setting up a solid 2-year SB run. The only serious issue on O is keeping/replacing Cooper (IMO). On D, they'll have to figure out what to do with Rasul's spot, but mostly the issue is depth at all positions. [I'll ignore any questions about Von for now, as he is on the roster.]

TSW Mock Draft 3.0 - Complete
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
The Bears tried several times to trade up and get Simmons, to no avail. With picks 39 and 41, they are in a nice position to trade up and get a player they really like, using their R3 pick. Having GM'd the Jags in TSW mock1, they are also in a great position to move back into R1 if they desire. I'm really looking forward to tonight, as there ought to be a lot of trade action. I just hope Beane doesn't screw us over like last year, making us stay up until the end, just to trade back and out of R1....
As always, thanks to @Virgil for putting in the effort for these--I always learn a lot just before the draft!
