additionally, if three and possibly four QB's go before we get to our pick at 9
This would be a dream scenario. Murray, Jones, and Lock all in the top 8. I would feel much better about Oliver being available if that happens.

Ed Oliver but I don't think it is realistic at this point, barring a trade up.

Jawaan Taylor, T, Florida
Oshane Ximines, EDGE, Old Dominion

I am wary of speed guys with suspect hands. I think he will be overdrafted.

I don't get this move for the Chiefs at all. They badly need secondary help. Their 1st would have been a prime spot to take someone like Greedy Williams or Byron Murphy. I get that Clark is a better player than Ford, but I don't see how he moves the needle enough to make the trade worth it.

Question, why did you feel you had to jump to 12 to get him? The only team that might take him would have been the Bills at 15, even that's far from a done deal.
I'd also think Marquise Brown would be the better fit for them. But that's just my opinion
I actually originally tried to trade to 11 because I thought the Packers would want him. But once they put it out there that they wanted to trade down I jumped on it. I see the Dolphins, Bills, Panthers, and Giants as potential landing spots for Metcalf. For me the elite talent is worth an extra 2nd and 4th, especially since I have the extra 3rd available from the Antonio Brown trade.

With the 12th overall pick the Steelers select DK Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss. James Washington was a disappointment last year, and Smith-Schuster is a great #2 but hasn't really flashed #1 ability. Roethlisberger's window to win another Super Bowl is closing so we're going with the elite physical talent to hopefully pick up the slack left by the Antonio Brown trade.
@turftoe and the Dolphins are on the clock.

I think he'll be back in time, but if you want to loop me/virgil in to the PM we can review/pre-approve
Just sent you the final trade terms.

I had a pre-arranged trade in place with Logic as of 2 picks ago. I'm waiting for his final confirmation but if his time passes I'm sure he wouldn't mind allowing it.

I'm curious to see your evaluation on Rashan Gary. Everyone here seems to hate him even though he is a consensus top 10 pick.

Interesting choice of words, if he were to be traded "before Thursday's draft." Perhaps meaning that if there's no takers by then, they'll accept a 2nd. I still think the most sensible trade would be switching 1sts with them.

The only thing that I’ll say to that is that if those were your LBs you’d play less nickel. White is an absolute monster he’s going to be a great pro.
I'm not as high on White as others, I think he projects more like a top end CJ Mosley than Roquon Smith which is the comparison I keep seeing. His tackling technique is highly suspect. I just don't see the fit in a modern NFL defense that already has 2 very talented LBs. If White is still there at 9 I would see what Pittsburgh is willing to give to trade up for him.
-
My only issue with drafting White is nickel defenses are practically base defenses at this point. We're not going to have 3 LBs on the field often enough to take a LB high.

In the last week the Bills have been tied to a trade up, a trade down, Metcalf, Oliver and Jonah Williams. I'm beginning to think no one knows anything.

Tre White rather than Patrick Mahomes
10 hours ago, SoTier said:Historically, over the last twenty years, QBs who aren't clearly the #1 consensus pick in the draft tend to bust about half the time and most drafts produce only 1 franchise QB (and some none), so taking a RB who's considered a generational talent rather than grabbing a lesser QB just because the team needs a young QB makes a lot of sense.
This is a blatant contradiction.

Here's the take of the lead draft analyst from Pro Football Focus:
I couldn't disagree more.

I had more fun doing this than I thought. I'll happily do 3.0, whatever team is needed.
If I could make a suggestion, I think for the last mock draft you should let someone control the Bills rather than doing a community poll. It's all just for fun anyways.
-
Beyond stats, which I don't really care about for college, what are the concerns with Gary? If work ethic is the concern we won't draft him. Is there anything else? He is definitely the Josh Allen of defense this year where everyone outside of NFL scouts want nothing to do with him and I'm wondering why.

I hope he has someone in mind and I REALLY hope it’s on offense ,
We need weapons on offense IMO if we don’t climb out of the basement to at least the middle of the pack to # 15 / 16 on offense we are not making the playoffs no matter how good our defense is ,
No single player that we draft or trade for is going go to make our offense at least average. Only Josh Allen improving can do that. I'm not saying we have any elite offensive talent, but what we have should suffice IF Allen does his job.
But a single stud pass rusher could make our defense elite. My dream scenario is trade our 2nd rounder for Clark (thank you Bilzfancy for pointing out that this is possible) and draft Oliver at #9 overall. Free agency filled out the offense pretty well IMO. Not to say we should completely ignore it in the draft.

That's a tough deal to make. Really can't do either trade unless you know you can sign the guy to a long-term deal, but I don't think they can talk to the agent without the other team's permission.
Not sure about Clowney but I've seen reports that the Seahawks were already fielding offers for Clark. I imagine the Wilson deal will only solidify that. So the Bills would probably already have an extension in place before the trade went through. If they know they can't afford him, there's no harm in letting potential trade partners talk to his agent.
-
I have this hunch that after we pick in the 1st round, Beane will try and trade our 2nd rounder for Frank Clark or Javdeon Clowney. I don't think they want to trade for a player until they know who they get at pick 9. But Beane keeps saying they have the cap space left over to sign another impact player and I don't think he's just making conversation.

At pick 54, the Texans select Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia. After losing Tyrann Mathieu in free agency they need a ball hawk safety, and Thornhill fits the mold.
At pick 55 the Texans select Julian Love, CB, Notre Dame. Their depleted secondary needs help, and a CB with ball skills is a huge need.
@Virgil is on the clock for the Ravens.

I somehow forgot about him. That would be even better.
