Daniel Jeremiah just posted his top 50 big board. He has Bijan Robinson as his #3 overall player. I still find it extremely unlikely he will be there for us.

The late 2nd has been a wasteland for receivers lately. There's always a run on them between picks 33 and 50. It's a valuable position so you aren't going to get a steal that easily. So would you take Hopkins for 2-3 years with a fairly large cap hit, or a cost controlled random player with likely a 3rd round grade for 4 years? I'll take the known product in that scenario.

I don't agree with that at all. Campbell doesn't have the sideline to sideline range that Edmunds does but he isn't just a downhill thumper. He is at least competent moving laterally and he can more than hold his own in zone coverage. It's just that his instincts make him special instead of his athleticism.

How's Carson Strong working out for the Seahawks?

If he isn't chasing a massive contract, get it done. Beane's 2nd round picks have not been good anyways. Use this one on a player you already know is great.

So everyone understands "former MVP" means nothing, right? Teams don't want to give a fully guaranteed contract to a run first QB who has had trouble finishing each of the last two seasons. Especially since he is notoriously impossible to negotiate with. It isn't any more complicated than that.

He needs to get an agent. He has no endorsement deals, no commercials, nothing. Other teams are shutting down his asking price. He needs someone that isn't a direct relative advising him. Right now he looks like a fool and is costing himself millions.

Are they getting motivated Aaron Rodgers? Or skip offseason workouts to drink ayahuasca Aaron Rodgers? The Packers offense didn't have a lot of talent last year but Rodgers was part of the problem too. It's an upgrade for the Jets either way but I'm not sure it's as big an upgrade as most people think.

Here are the real numbers:

The problem with taking Dawand Jones at 27 is you're basically giving up on Spencer Brown. Two players that exclusively play RT, the 1st round pick is going to win that battle. I'm just not ready to give up on a raw physical specimen entering his 3rd year, and I doubt the Bills are either. Part of the draft investment is the time you spend developing that player. Losing Wyatt Teller didn't hurt because we wasted a 5th round pick, it hurt because we let another team enjoy the fruits of that development. I could see something similar happening with Brown if we give up on him now. Plus RT is a pretty easy position to fill, so the worst case scenario of missing out on Dawand Jones is we lose out on an easy to fill non-premium position. It's like losing out on a 1st round RB who goes on to be elite. It just doesn't hurt your team enough to be worth worrying about. The Chiefs had the 2nd best OL in the league with a meh RT.

Sure he did. Now we wait to see how much he's actually getting paid.

Everyone relax.

Personally I would rather just sign Jamaal Williams to play the same role for much cheaper. Use free agency money on OL and a WR.

This isn't loading for some reason, but the 2nd tweet is Mike Silver saying he doesn't believe the Bills will go after Derrick Henry.

Joe Marino brought up a good name - Jamaal Williams from Detroit. He immediately solves our short yardage/goal line running problem. He's projected to get something like 2 years $8.5 million.

For me on defense it is not about filling holes, it is about filling in a missing "type" of player. The kind that is okay getting in the face of opponents AND teammates and that opposing players are afraid to be hit by. We are missing size and physicality on defense. Many of us want the defense to start playing more of an attack style instead of a passive style against top offenses. Getting a big brute in the middle of the defense would be a good starting point. Drafting a safety in the 1st I agree that would give me the sense of Beane just trying to fill a hole and personally I wouldn't be happy with that pick. The one that has been named, Antonio Johnson, I don't see a ceiling for him where he becomes a truly game changing player. You almost have to be an all-time great to be a game changer at safety. I think I would take any other position, even RB, before considering safety in the 1st.

I hear you. Hypothetically what if in FA we sign OBJ and Isaac Semeulo (or equivalent talents at the same positions), plugging our two biggest offensive holes before the draft? Then would you feel more comfortable with defense at pick 27?

This is a bummer: I saw him mocked to the Bills a few times on day two. Now he's probably a mid day three prospect.

I just put on a video of him and wow I found my newest draft crush. TE wasn't even on my radar in the 1st but his motion looks so fluid and he looks so natural plucking the ball out of the air. You think he complements Knox well if we want to do more 12 personnel? At pick 27 we might have to settle for a weird position like TE or LB if we want to maximize the value of the pick. If the goal is offense only I'd be happy picking a potentially elite pass catching TE like Kincaid and figure out how to fit him into our roster.

This is the spot I'm at as well. The more I look at the class the more I find it hard to believe a 1st round caliber WR or OL will be there at pick 27. Those positions are too valuable. Last year I thought for sure Jahan Dotson would be a possibility for us and instead he went several picks before. It's why I'm thinking as much as most Bills fans would hate it we may be forced to take a front 7 player to use the value of our pick properly.
