Solid as Pearce has been falling due to off the field questions (meaning BUF prob avoids him). Love all the other picks other than Royals.

Pass as you need more than one player and A starting lineup with Tre or Dane at CB2 aint good

cuz that beautiful beach is there the other 362 days of the year

Deon was dominant in 2023 and played with a broken back in 2024. Don't confuse lazy with very hurt

All reasonable

Morrison too if his hips are okay. I like Porter a ton too

If healed, he would fit in well, he has the equivalent CB story to Josh's QB - unknown that one team gave the chance to

Agreed - at least 2, maybe 3 as jones is our only big body and he dropped off the face of the earth last year

Don't really like it. No way in the world the Bills get the 94th pick (2nd pick in round 4 I believe) and a 26 2nd from CLE to move back 3 spot, No way the Bills give up picks 62, 94 and 169 to move up 9 spots in the 2nd. Simply stay where hey are and draft Swinson at 56 and Royals at 62 (both should be there at those picks). Why are we drafting 2 Olinemen and only one CB? I agree 100%, CB is our glaring need and I think there will be plenty of really Good dt's at 56 and 62. I wouldn't hate us going CB, DT, WR and DT (with the aquired 3rd rounder) as Edge isn't a high priority THIS YEAR. Next year could be a different story.

On a Jet Blue Flight to Florida. Fortunately Jet Blue has Directv, when it works. If it doesn't work, I'm rioting.

Love all of these but, my gut tells me: 34 Nolen will be gone as will Grant (and they'll also be gone before 30), so we'll have to choose between Tyleik williams and amy remaining CB's: Morrison, Revel, etc 56 I think Landon gets overdrafted - if we want him it would have to be at 34 and I don't want him at 34 62 Porter - love porter but 50/50 he's there at 62. If we go DL at 34, I have no problem taking him at 56. 62 - we should have a really goo wr here (Royal)- You're choice of Watts is really solid, my only issues is he's not starting in 2025 My gut is with his size/speed combo Thornton goes higher than 132 - love him as a high risk/reward player

From my experience, the real draft never is close to the mock drafts - some players go a lot earlier; some a lot later. But, I think Unless someone falls that they covet if we can get a 3rd rounder by moving back from 30, I think we do it in a second. It would Allow us to fill all 4 major needs (DL, Edge, CB, WR) in the 2nd and 3rd round in a draft that looks great in the 1nd and 3rd round (and not so great in round 1). In the end, from someone who was crushed that we took the wrong Josh in 2018, I'll never question Beane all that much.

Yep - NYGs are probably our best trade down partner due to the relationship between Schoen and Beane and the NYG's desperation at QB. Here's the latest mock I just did which actually offered me the NYG Trade: 30 and 109 for 34 and 65 - NYG drafted Dart at 30. 34. Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss - I took him over Grant which I'm not sure I would do, but, I think (a) his pass rush upside is too high to pass up, (b) he's only 21 and (c) I'm confident I'll be able to couple him with a 1T run stuffer later. I could easily be talked into Grant though. 56. Shavon Revel CB East Carolina - Injury concerns probably caused him to slide as he's a 1st round talent and maybe the 3rd best CB in the draft. We get him late in the 2nd. I like his loyalty as ECU is the only DIV 1 school to offer him a scholarship, so he stayed there instead of cashing in and transferring. With his ACL ?, I intend to draft another CB rather early. 62. Kyle Williams WR Washington State - Our new deep threat - possibly the quickest WR in the draft out of breaks and has 4.4 speed. Insane production in 2024: 70 catches for 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns. At 5'11", 190 pounds he's got some thickness too him - Basically Diggs' size with a lot more speed. 65. Bradyn Swinson EDGE LSU - Plenty of quality Edges were available here (some rated higher in the mock), but I like this guys run support, bend and all around game soI took him. Undeniable motor and huge arms (33") - something Beane loves. 132. Jamaree Caldwell DT Oregon - here's the 332 pound fatty to supplement Oliver and Nolen. He's a poor man's Grant, with more consistency (higher floor) but certainly a lower ceiling. He possibly could take over from Jones in running downs, who we may see cut if he doesn't bounce back from a bad 2024. 169. Zah Frazier CB UTSA - If revel isn't 100% at the start of the season, here's the alternative. Only missed two tackles in 2024 and is a willing/active run defender - two qualities McDermott looks for in a CB. He had 6 INT's in 2024, is huge at 6'2" but could use some muscle (186 pounds). 5th fastest CB at combine with a 4.36 40. I would be willing to take this guy a lot higher than 169, even at #65 if we don't think edge is a priority. 170. Caleb Ransaw CB Tulane - Very good size, played every position from Safety to corner to slot to LB - insane athlete whom I'm willing to take earlier. I'm grooming him for safety. 173. Jack Kiser LB Notre Dame - Solid tackler, above average athlete, good size. Best LB available at this point. 177. Mitchell Evans TE Notre Dame - Solid overall TE, replacement for Morris and will compete with Davidson for final TE spot. 206. Alex Mastromanno P Florida State - averaged 50 yards per kick and 45 net - Australian guy and will probably win our punting job

Yep it's a great year to be DT needy and have 10 picks. I don't see any way we don't draft 2 DT's and also probably 2 CB's. I think there are DT's we could draft in the 5th or 6th round who will be better than the kid we drafted from Duke last year in the 3rd round.

Yep but Farmer is more of a 3T than a 1T - he's a player definitely on our radar if we get a Grant/Tyleik/Collins 1T type early in the draft. Farmer is big enough to play 1T occasionally (maybe passing downs) but at 305, he's not big enough to focus there. A combo of Grant and Farmer, to go along with Oliver could be a game changer

Yep plenty available this year in later rounds: Tyleik Williams 2nd Collins or Walker 3rd West or Phillips 4th Caldwell 5th Cam Jackson 6th I probably missed a few

Yep I think Nolen >> Grant

if that's what the value chart says, i have no problem paying that price

I think the move down from #30 to the low 30s to early 40s will be available as one of the qb desperate teams will be looking to move up. Can we gte a 3rd by doing so? I think so but we may need to throw a pick back (4th, 5th or 6th?) which is fine as we have 10 picks. Moving up from 56 to, say 42 would cost us 56, 109, 132 and 169 according to the draft calculator = too rich for my blood. If they did draft 2 DT's in the first 3 rounds - say harmon at #30 if he drops then Alfred Collins at #62 that would work well. I think I like Collins almost as much as Grant and you'd get him a round later.

I know there's a few mock draft threads going on, and mods, feel free to merge. I wanted to emphasize why i think it should be a huge consideration in MOVING DOWN from #30 and picking up another day 2 pick. If we have multiple guys we like at #30, I'd consider moving down into the early 2nd with a QB needy team and pick up a 3rd. Something like this would work well: #30 and #109 to Denver for #34 and #65 - we move #30 for an early 2nd and an early 3rd while giving up an early 4th. The draft is stacked through around the top 70 and, if Beane drafts well, we legitimately could have 4 starters or contributors with picks 34, 56, 62 and 65. Unless they LOVE someone earlier in the first, There's no need to trade up, especially if we lose a 2nd/3rd to do so. Possible players in this scenario: #34 CB Amos - Ole Miss - great zone CB and Bills have met numerous times with him #56 DE Landon Jackson - Arkansas - Bills have met numerous times with him #62 DT Alfred Collins - Texas - not a great pass rusher (but room for improvement) but a 332 pound 1T whom I think is the best run stuffer in the draft. I passed on TJ Sanders and Darius Alexander cuz I wanted the pure 1T guy, not a 3T guy #65 WR Jayden Higgins - Iowa State -I took him over Kevin Williams as I think he's a more complete WR. 6'4" 214 who runs a 4.49 40 with great stats last year: 87 catches 1,183 yards with 8 TD's. Think Gabe Davis on Steroids (more speed, better route tree). This is why you trade down in RD1, to get a 4th pick in the top 65 and grab another starter. Amos is a day 1 starter as is Jackson and Collins (in McDermott's rotational DLine scheme) + I think Higgins is the 2nd best WR on our roster on Day 1 of training camp. Later picks: 132 Jordan Phillips - Maryland - I double down on DT with another mauling DT that the Bills seem enamored with 169 Jaydon Blue - Texas - Fastest RB in draft with 4.37 speed. Not much wear on the body (split carries at Texas), is an outstanding receiver out of the backfield and unlike Cooke, is a willing and good blocking RB Now, who knows if all these players are available where I drafted them. In this simulation they were: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft 170 CB/S Caleb Ransaw - Tulane - I doubled down on CB with an athletic freak that can play every position in the secondary. He's a great tackler (which is a must for McDermott) with great speed and decent size. The reason he's available so late is he needs to improve his ball skills 173 WR Isaiah Bond - Texas - I doubled down on WR here. I don't think Buffalo makes this pick, but, the chance to get a 2nd round WR talent in the 6th round is too good to pass. Hopefully his off season issues are resolved. 177 LB Shaun Dolac - Buffalo - a nice local boy story, but this kid can play 206 P Alex Mastromanno - Florida state - Our current two punters are blah, this guy comes to camp as our #1 punter -

2 Trade downs here, picking up an early 4th and SF's 2026 2nd. Here I waited on CB's, but still got two mid round sleepers I like. Got 3 Stud DT's, a stud TE, 2 speedsters at WR (one with size) and the fastest RB in the draft. 43. Walter NolenDT Ole Miss 56. Kenneth GrantDT Michigan 73. Kyle WilliamsWR Washington State 109. Elijah ArroyoTE Miami (FL) 110. Joshua FarmerDT Florida State 113. Cobee BryantCB Kansas 132. Dont'e ThorntonWR Tennessee 169. Kitan CrawfordS Nevada 170. Zah FrazierCB UTSA 173. Jaydon BlueRB Texas 177. Shaun DolacLB Buffalo

As a team, we lack speed. In this draft I got the fastest CB, RB and TE in the draft while getting a 6'4" receiver who ran a 4.47 and jumped 40" (insane athlete). Doubt Maxwell lasts to 56 but he did in this draft. My big dilemma - Grant or Tyleik Williams at #30. I like a trade down from #30 to around #40 if we can get a 3rd rounder back 30. Kenneth GrantDT Michigan 56. Maxwell HairstonCB Kentucky 62. Jayden HigginsWR Iowa State 109. Oronde Gadsden IITE Syracuse 132. Jaydon BlueRB Texas 169. Seth McLaughlinOC Ohio State 170. J.J. PeguesDT Ole Miss 173. Jared IveyEDGE Ole Miss 177. Alex MastromannoP Florida State 206. Shaun DolacLB Buffalo

A lot of great options here. Even if they don't meet the criteria, I would include Grant, Collins and Phillips to this list

My Favorite one - focusing on guys the Bills have had interest in: 36. Kenneth Grant - Trade down and picking up a later pick DT Michigan 53. Trey Amos - Slight Trade up to grab the last "must have" cb left on the board CB Ole Miss 62. Jalen Royals - a lot of love for him lately WR Utah State 109. Kyle Kennard EDGE South Carolina 126. Oronde Gadsden II - not a particular need but speed kills TE Syracuse 169. Nohl Williams - doubling up on CB's - this guy is really good value here CB California 170. Jake Majors - interior line depth OC Texas 173. Jaydon Blue - doubt he'll still be available at #173, but he was in this mock and speed kills once again RB Texas 177. Ty Hamilton - solid value here, 2nd DT - multiple interviews and visit with Buffalo DT Ohio State 206. Alex Mastromanno - comes to camp as best punter on the team P Florida State No offense, but downright hate this mock: 1. Like Revel, but out 1st pick better be an impact this year and Revel might not be 100% until next year 2. Watts - great pick but we had to give up both 2nd's to move up 9 picks to get him?? 3. Higgins - not my favorite - rather get Royals or Williams 4. Turner - would not be happy if he's our only add to DT 5. 2 linebackers and no EDGE, only one DT, No RB's and no OL? 6. Q? see #5

No This is idiotic, no offense. You said he "could provide immediate offensive upside to a team." And immediate downside to The Bills if we trade him. We have him for next year and could always franchise him the following year. He's staying
