Logic

Sorry buddy. Time (and the annual TSW message board mock draft) stop for no man. For what it's worth, I do think Noel is a nice pick for the Rams. Nacua, Adams, Noel, Whittington, Atwell is a nice little WR corps.

Fair enough. To me, that guy you're describing is probably Joshua Palmer. I could be mistaken, but I think he's pretty elite in terms of getting open deep and catching the ball. What I want is a gotta have it, game's on the line, convert this 3rd down or we go home, playmaking do-it-all receiver. Maybe Shakir is that guy. Maybe Coleman can become that guy. But as far as I can tell, we don't have that guy on the roster right now. Maybe my thinking is just out of date and old fashioned, and maybe we're going full-on with the "everybody eats", diverse-skillsets approach now. But I can't help but continue to pine for a legitimate WR1, and right now, I don't see one on the roster.

I would just like to point out that @Alphadawg7 missing his pick after waiting so patiently for it to finally come around again might be the funniest thing of the week if it were to happen. I'm sure it won't. I'm betting he's just knee-deep in meticulous research.

I know there's a contingent of people who say the Bills should spend all their most premium picks on defense, and the offense is just fine. Beane may well be one of those people. But me? I'd be happy to see them spend their first pick on a receiver if one was there that warranted the pick. The DL class is deep enough that I think they could snag guys in rounds 2 and 4 that could help them immediately, with the remaining 2nd and another mid-to-late pick being spent on corners. Count me among those who still think the Bills offense is a legitimate WR away from operating at maximum capacity (and who doesn't think that HOPING Joshua Palmer can be that guy is an adequate strategy). I don't think Golden will even be on the board at 30 -- current betting odds have him being drafted ahead of Tet McMillan -- but if he is, that's a pick I'd be happy with.

One of the more fascinating and curious prospects in this draft. Some will point to his RAS or the conference he played in as reasons that his production was fluky. Others will point out that two of his biggest games of the season came against Penn State and Texas A&M, neither of whom are slouches defensively. Looking at the tape itself, do you feel he projects well to the pros? Where do you have him ranked?

You're doin god's work.

With the 82nd pick in the 2025 TSW Mock Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Jared Wilson, C, Georgia We entered the draft needing to rehaul our entire interior offensive line. We got off to a great start earlier with Jonah Savaiinaea, and now we add a player that we believe can compete in year one for the starting center position in Jared Wilson. While he was only a one year starter at Georgia, Jared Wilson has athletic gifts and movement skills that you can't teach. We believe some time in a professional strength and conditioning program will do wonders to help with any anchoring deficiencies he has, but his athleticism should make him a perfect fit for the zone run scheme we'll be operating under new OC Klint Kubiak. We had Wilson ranked 75th on our big board, so aside from liking the player and the position, we felt the value was spot on, too. @frostbitmic and the Pittsburgh Aaron Rodgers' ***** are now on the clock.

I think the Giants are locked on to either Carter or Hunter, whichever is there when they pick. If you could just please not say "tariffs" right now, that would be splendid.

I can definitely understand that point of view, but if we came out of the first two rounds with Amos, Watts, and Farmer, I'd actually be pretty happy! Would rather go with a premium d-lineman first, but Watts is a playmaker and I know the Bills really seem interested in Farmer quite a bit in real life, so...I couldn't complain much.

Yeah he's a fun one. His cutting ability, lateral agility, and ability to accelerate and decelerate so smoothly while doing those things is a joy to watch. As good as he was in college, I think he'll be a better pro.

I know I'm not GunnerBill, and perhaps his answer will differ from mine or be more instructive, but: I believe Henderson is one of the best pass blocking running backs in the class. Really good in that department, especially for his size. I also think he'd form a great 1-2 punch with Audric Estime. Sort of a Mark Ingram/Alvin Kamara redux.

With the 52nd pick in the 2025 TSW Mock Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona Our top priority coming into this draft was to solidify our interior offensive line. We feel that Jonah Savaiinaea is a potential impact player at right guard. Having played in a zone-based run scheme in Arizona, we believe he'll slide in seamlessly and perfectly fit what new OC Klint Kubiak wants to do on offense. He's got a big body and a wide frame, good initial burst out of his stance, good spatial awareness, and was a three-time team captain. We think he's plug-and-play and immediately makes us better in the run game, and we think his deficiencies in pass protection are correctable. Tetairoa McMillan and Jonah Savaiinaea should both make Sam Darnold and Klint Kubiak's life easier. Benjamin Morrison strengthens our depth in the secondary. The Seahawks war room is thrilled with how the board has shaken out thus far. @Bill from NYC and the Tampa Baker Buccaneers are now on the clock.

I actually pick again right after Warrior and the Broncos, so I'll be ready to go with my pick the second he makes his.

I have a feeling the NFL will like Harmon over Grant, too, and I expect him to be drafted earlier. Harmon seems to have a skillset that's more valuable in the modern game than Grant, who indeed seems like he may only be a two-down run stuffer. Harmon also more closely aligns with the weight, body type, and skillset that we've seen McDermott's defense employ over the years.

With the 50th pick in the 2025 TSW Mock Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame The best strategy when it comes to the draft is to take the best player available, and Benjamin Morrison was sticking out like a sore thumb. While we like our current cornerback rotation, the only corner under contract after 2025 is Devon Witherspoon. Thinking one year ahead is an important virtue in the draft. With that in mind, Morrison is a perfect addition for us. Were it not for his injury and subsequent surgery, we think he would've been drafted much higher. We can afford to let him fully recover, though, with an eye toward the future and toward solidifying our cornerback room for the long term. With outstanding ball production (9 interceptions in 31 games), good size, and a willingness to attack the ball at the catch point, we think Morrison will be a valuable addition to Mike McDonald's diverse defense, and are thrilled that he was available at pick 50. @warrior9 and the Denver Broncos are now on the clock.

I already don't wanna watch football in Christmas. So by all means, please put the team I least enjoy watching on every Christmas day. Will make it that much easier for me to ignore the game and spend time with my family instead.

I don't think there's a solution left at this point, short of trading with another team for a corner. I suppose this would've been a situation where different allocation of cap moneys in free agency would've been the answer. But as you say, there's only so many cap dollars to go around. Still...it's a frustrating pattern with Beane. It has happened this way multiple years now. Too often to be considered an aberration or an occasional "we were just cap strapped this year". It seems like it happens almost every single year. Not ideal.

I really wish the Bills had used one of this year's 2nds to trade up to the late teens LAST year to draft Brian Thomas Jr. I suppose if they do it this year and add an impact defender on the d-line, that'd be great. But... I can't help but feel like this team has been a little bit "day late and a dollar short" the past couple years when it comes to their early round draft picks. Next up: not taking a running back in this year's super deep running back class, then having to take one higher than advisable next year in a less impressive class because Cook doesn't get re-signed.

I (and others) have mentioned here recently: Beane has a frustrating tendency to leave one major need for the draft and then draft a player at that position with an early pick come hell or high water. It's a bad strategy because it telegraphs our draft plans to other teams (allowing them to jump ahead of us) and forces Beane to draft for need instead of taking BPA. He gives lip service to BPA, but he doesn't actually subscribe to it. In round 1 and 2, he's usually a "need" drafter. It's very frustrating. There are only a few things that Beane does that drive me nuts and, in my view, are not good GM practice. This early round draft tendency of his is definitely one of them. Maybe the BIGGEST one. Extremely frustrating.

I would just like to say that seeing Buffalo reach slightly for a corner at the end of the first round to compete with Dane Jackson (again), only to see the world champion Philadelphia Eagles --who just beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl largely thanks to elite D-Line play -- get Walter Nolen two picks later would make me feel....some kinda way. Not a good kinda way. Ugh.

Personally I think the Rasul Douglass shade has gone a bit too far. Did his play drop off a bit last year, and did he lack the splash plays we had seen from him in the past? Yes and yes. Was he "terrible" and not worth an NFL roster spot, as some here are saying? Not in my opinion. I certainly believe he's likely a better option than Dane Jackson. Oh well. It's probably a moot point. Beane seems to be content rolling into the draft with the whole world knowing he needs a CB2 again and being forced to draft one in the first few rounds regardless of commensurate value. FUN!

10 Starters, likely 15 bench spots to start. That's how both of my other dynasty leagues started. One league voted to add an additional bench spot in year three, one voted against it. You wanna try to find the sweet spot. If you make your benches too deep, then the waiver wire is bone dry and it's impossible to make meaningful roster moves.

This is where Beane's "BPA at a position of need" comes into play. If they draft Colston Loveland and give up on Dalton Kincaid after an injury filled sophomore year (after he showed real promise is a rookie), I'd be truly shocked. I won't argue that he may be BPA based on what's sitting there right now, but I just can't realistically see it. We all know Beane doesn't REALLY draft BPA anyway, even if he gives lip service to it.

To back up what TOBoy just said:

Just gonna re-post this, as it pertains to the discussion that immediately followed it in this thread. It certainly seems like the Bills ARE interested in learning from Green Bay, with regard to what its done surrounding its stadium and what its planning to do for the draft.
