Wow…another 30 visit

Is this the third time we have traded this pick between the bills and bears?

Yes! Horton or Royals let’s go

Ok trade up Beane cmon. Thornton gone

He was playing with a Pars defect and may for the rest of his career. His 23 was fun to watch

Skattebo is so fun to watch play football

Wow wasn’t expecting that WR

Honestly, Ayomanor looks like Mike Evans to me. The problem is Mike Evans had Velcro hands and Ayomanor is very inconsistent in his catching technique and drops a lot of balls or loses them through contact. I think he is young enough that if you have a plan to train him he could improve there and then you really have something. But it will be a gamble.

Im very high on Horton. I think if he is fully healed, he can immediately make an impact for the Bills. That doesn’t mean the Bills would let him. The others are more raw and will likely take time to develop so I agree there.

Our 3 fifths should get us to about 112. Including our 6th would be top of round 4

Jackson did do his agility testing at his pro day. He had a pretty good 7.15 three cone which I think you can see decent bend for his size around the edge. His shuttle was not very good though and is definitely mostly a vertical athlete. Im very hopeful that we move up early in round 4 for a WR. In addition to the three you mentioned, I also like Ayomanor a lot. If we miss out on those 4, I’d be very disappointed and turn my attention to Elijhah Badger. Once we get that WR, then everything else is just gravy in my book.

Two of our fifths along with the 4th get us all the way up to the giants pick (3rd in round 4). That guarantees us one of the top WRs left….this is going to be the most stressful round of the draft for me lol.

We need to draft two WRs but then yes, the rest can and should go to defense this is a good OP and all but how did it get pinned?

Hope not but it’s possible for sure

Man I’m excited for this pick Beane went to the South Carolina pro day and then they hosted Sanders for a 30 visit. They have been interested for a long time. Not only is he a good pass rusher, but compared to other upper tier pass rushers in this draft, his run defense is good enough to be a three down player. Alfred Collins I liked for his athleticism and run stopping, but his pass rush is limited and there were rumors teams were concerned with this injuries. He is also going to be 24 in October. Darius Alexander was another option with many fans and is a closer comp to Sanders. But Alexander did not become a starter at Toledo until 2023 and will be 25 this year. Besides them you have Omar Norman Lott who is a very good pass rusher, but even Tennessee tried to keep him off the field on run downs. Shemar Turner is a converted DE and is much smaller than Sanders. In addition, athletically he ran a sub 5.0 40 with a sub 1.7 10 yard split at over 295 pounds. That is the athletic profile you want from a DT as it is similar to many of the best DTs of the last 10 years. You draft pass rush early in the draft, especially if they can somewhat stop the run. Sanders gives us that. If we want a 320 plus run stopper - Cam Horsely, Cam Jackson, Nazir Stackhouse, Eric Gregory - are all still available and probably will be until round 5 or 6.

Jackson is a guy I would have accepted as our first rounder with all the smoke between him and the Bills pre-draft Would have been very happy with him in the second. That we got him in the third is like we didn’t trade down at all, and with how quickly the Bills made the pick I think they agreed I really like LJ. Dude is dedicated. Transformed his body. Really smart with how he handles every snap run or pass. Has one of the best surf techniques in the draft when defending the RPO. He is not an explosive rusher but he has good bend for his size, and he compresses the pocket which is what you want with all these running QBs. That he is landing with Rousseau and Bosa, some of the best run defenders and power rushers in the NFL, will help him grow even further. I have really high expectations for LJ.

Badger was tied for WR12 for me just above Dont’e Thornton. Love how he plays. Was a YAC merchant at ASU then totally transformed into a deep threat at Florida. He can win at all three levels. He and Horton would also take care of the KR and PR role so we can cut Coddrington. And love your description of Florida, spot on.

5 of my top 12 receivers remain Tory Horton despite being lower than Ayomanor in the ranks, is the top Bills fit left imo.

Yea I have Horton way ahead as a fit for the the Bills. Then it it would be Ayomanor, Royals and Thornton. I’d be pumped with any of them.

The Giants only have 6 picks in this draft. They have the third pick in the 4th round (105). Per the trade value chart our 4th (132) and any two (or our 3) fifths will be equal value. Get it done and get Josh a talented WR.

Way to go Beane, Sanders is going to be a good one.

The closest I can think of is Malik Willis who some people mocked second overall to Detroit only for him to go round 3. But this is much more significant

Id take Ayomanor too though he is more raw

Poor man’s Khalil Shakir

Good pick by the Broncos, Jones is very talented. Will be a good addition to their already good line.
