Looked at the OP and for a moment was pretty shocked Kirby Jackson went 1st overall

Not sure if I voiced it anywhere, but thought the same. Everyone was hung up on bad footwork, but all he did was ball out and have insane accuracy/placement regardless of where his feet were.

I recall loving Wilson as a prospect, getting excited when the Bills traded up in the 3rd round, and then wondering why we took a track guy with a 7th round grade.

I would be ecstatic if this very unrealistic offense-heavy Fanspeak mock draft happened... 27: R1 P27 WR Zay Flowers - Boston College 59: R2 P28 LB Jack Campbell - Iowa 91: R3 P28 G Steve Avila - TCU 130: R4 P28 TE Sam LaPorta - Iowa 137: R5 P2 RB Israel Abanikanda - Pittsburgh 205: R6 P28 QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson - UCLA ...but it won't.

Not sure if I’d rather give Jones someone who is a good separator or someone who is a contested catch guy. To be fair I think Flowers can do a bit of both. Hope he does not go to NE* as I think he’s very talented.

My preferred scenario is one of JSN, Addison, or Flowers is there at 27. 🤞

Keeps happening on Fanspeak for some reason

27: R1 P27 OT Paris Johnson Jr. - Ohio State 59: R2 P28 C Steve Avila - TCU 91: R3 P28 S Ji'Ayir Brown - Penn State 130: R4 P28 RB Roschon Johnson - Texas 137: R5 P2 LB Ivan Pace Jr. - Cincinnati 205: R6 P28 WR Tre Tucker - Cincinnati

I disagree in that I think there are a few guys in round 1 who can be WR2/3 right away, which is all we really need - another top 3 WR who is ideally a great WR2. I agree with you in that I bet Beane sits to see if any of his guys make it to 27 before pulling the trigger on a Hopkins trade.

I think one of the more interesting debates is whether we should be prioritizing targeting competition for Brown at RT or a guy who can come in to compete/start at OG with the long term plan being Morse’s heir apparent at C. Probably need to take a swing at each at some point this draft.

Avila seems to be a very popular 2nd round pick to mock to BUF

Fanspeak: 27: R1 P27 WR Zay Flowers - Boston College 59: R2 P28 C Steve Avila - TCU 91: R3 P28 S Ji'Ayir Brown - Penn State 130: R4 P28 LB Ivan Pace Jr. - Cincinnati 137: R5 P2 TE Zack Kuntz - Old Dominion 205: R6 P28 OT Richard Gouraige - Florida

My Mock: 27: Jordan Addison - WR - USC 59: Steve Avila - OG - TCU 91: Noah Sewell - LB - Oregon 130: Luke Musgrave - TE - Oregon State 137: Jartavius Martin - S - Illinois 205: Shakel Brown - DT - Troy Tear it apart.

What about Dan Smith BYU?

Ironically enough, Jim is forgetting 2 key guys to this analysis both named James: Lofton and Cook.

Luke Musgrave & Jartavius Martin

Agreed, but assuming they add to Mahomes’ targets, starting off with Kelce, MVS, Toney, and Moore ain’t half bad.

The question then becomes… Klein or deKlein? I think he’s a good LB3/4 and like him as a player generally. Don’t want him starting or playing significant snaps especially in passing situations.

I expect Allen, Knox, Diggs, Dawkins, Morse, Miller, Rousseau, Milano, White, Poyer, Hyde, and Bass to all play for Buffalo well into their 40s, so really no worries anytime soon.

I’ll take BS clickbait article title wording for 500.

That or his market has cooled so much he’s visiting CFL teams

I’d be cool with Addison, JSN, or Flowers at 27 if they fall. One of those 3, Diggs, and Davis is a solid top 3, especially with Shakir, Harty, and Sherfield fighting for snaps. You also never know who might be cut between now and September.

I’m not against further OL help high in the draft. But if we haven’t gotten Hopkins then adding a WR on a possibly 5 year cost-controlled deal sounds like the better route. Flowers to me is just the most dynamic option.
