Not a big fan of Morrison honestly. Even without the injury question I don't like his fit for our defense. Probably would be a better fit in a more man heavy scheme IMO.

For what this regime looks for I agree he is the most obvious choice. The reason I don't want him in the 1st round is I don't think he offers enough as a pass rusher. I recognize that he has the athletic upside to develop that part of his game more, but in this class I would rather just take a player that I know can cover or rush the passer.

The Pats dynasty never bothered me. If anything I'm glad it happened when it did because the Bills were going to be irrelevant during those years regardless.

Grant is who I think Beane would take in this spot if he's still on the board. Not my preference but he will see it as filling a need with a player that has athletic upside, which is what he usually looks for with his first pick.

With the 29th pick the Commanders select Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia. The Bills are on the clock @Virgil. This is a perfect meeting of need with value. Mykel Williams could easily go in the top 15 so we feel like we got a steal. We need to rebuild basically our entire DL and Williams has the frame and length to develop into a cornerstone.

This is a legit insider. Not 100% that it is Tyreek Hill but that would make the most sense.

This is why I love Hairston's fit for our scheme. His transitions look so fluid on film.

Mine too. They liked him but saw him as more of a slot in their scheme.

I doubt he'll make it out of the top 20, smart to do the work on him though just in case. All athletic upside with no production.

I don't know what I'm missing but Hairston seems like he should be projected higher, he looks like such a clean fit to the NFL. Smaller frame so maybe that worries teams but his movement skills in coverage are elite. His ability to break on routes is rare. I think from day one you put him on the field and just leave him in off coverage and let him read and react.

I've heard there is more to come. This reported allegation is just the first. There were sexual assault allegations against him at both Alabama and Texas. There are multiple active restraining orders against him from different women. It's hard to imagine any team will take a chance on him before round 5 despite his talent.

Finally some clarity on the Isaiah Bond situation:

NY getting Carter and Sanders without having to give up any future 1st or 2nd round picks would be a huge win. The threat of Deion Sanders taking Daboll's job in 2026 would loom large, but if they don't get the QB position figured out it's a lame duck job in any case. Great trade and pick Kirby. It's a semi-realistic move that would shake up the entire draft.

This trade would put Thibodeaux's value as a late 2nd rounder, pick 63 by the draft value chart. I wonder what he would fetch in a trade in real life. If NY takes Carter which seems increasingly likely I could definitely see them trading him. I would think he'd get no higher than a late 3rd or 4th since he would basically be a one year rental unless the trading team picked up his 5th year option which I would not expect.

Let's see if Beane is ruthless enough to trade out of the 1st round this time.

No I don't think they have. But when a 2nd round talent at a position of need might be available in the 5th, no harm in doing their due diligence on him. I don't know the specifics but it doesn't sound like the concerns are criminal in nature. The comparison has been to Jermaine Burton. So you have to figure out if he is going to skip NFL practices like Burton has done which means he's not worth drafting in any round, or can his personality be managed enough to take a flyer on him.

My theory is that maybe he is not really a 2nd round prospect like the draft community thinks. If the reported character concerns are true maybe he is seen by teams as a 4th or even 5th rounder. If that's true then the Bills could be doing their due diligence to see if the talent is worth risking a day three pick on.

Joe Marino said he has heard the rumors on Bond too. He didn't specify the exact details but said he doesn't believe Bond will be on our board if what he heard is true.

Interesting visit. He profiles as a big slot which doesn't seem to fit a need on our roster.
