If the picks isn't WR, OT, LB, or a massive DT in the 1st, it's a failure.

To me, there is nobody in this mock that gets us over the hump and makes us a legit SB contender. It’s obvious the Bills are addressing the interior of the offensive line via free agency and aren’t going to use high draft picks for a OG or OC.
This offense needs another weapon, someone to take the pressure off Diggs, and to make this offense unstoppable. Make a trade, move up, do SOMETHING outside or continuing to build through the draft. I’d trade a 2nd or 3rd for a proven, day 1 impact player over anyone in this mock.

The Titans are the fakest "contender" team to ever exist. If Hopkins actually wants to compete for a ring, there shouldn't be any way they are in the discussion.
Agreed.
He followed Allen on IG yesterday and posted that “Buffalo soldier” meme for a reason. He knows where he wants to go.

I just don't see how Buffalo doesn't make this work unless he's asking for some renegotiated contract and wanting crazy money. Where there's smoke there's fire. Beane needs to do whatever it takes to get this done. Offense wins SB;s now days, we've spent years trying to build an elite defense to win and it hasn't happened. Add Hopkins and then spend the draft adding a LB and DT depth.

I would rather go WR/OL than RB, I don't think Robinson is as elite as Barkley was coming out of college and I think Cook/Harris/Hines is a solid RB trio. The Bills would get far more mileage out of pick 27 by protecting Josh or getting him a young receiving option that can be there for 8 years or getting him a young protector at RT to improve the O-line.
Agreed. No chance were going RB in the first.

Where there's smoke there's fire hopefully. Spend most of FA/trade for the offense, then spend the draft on adding to the defense. This team is to close to the SB to just carry on through the draft. Send them a 3rd and a 4th and bring in another elite WR and lets go!

The chiefs laid the blueprint on how to win in the modern nfl. They fixed their oline and the eagles, who had the third most sacks in the regular season in nfl history, couldn’t touch Mahomes in the sb. They didn’t go out and go heavy on d. They built around Mahomes. Offense is the way to go…not drafting to stop other teams offenses. Ask Philly how that worked.
Agree 10000%.
I said the same thing on one of the Bills pages on IG. I think they need to do everything possible to build an unstoppable offense and it starts at the offensive line. An elite QB like Allen does nothing when he's got pressure in his face all game long or running for his life. They need to bring in someone to compete with Brown at RT and add an elite talent at WR opposite of Diggs. A lot of rumors swirling about Hopkins, but if they are serious about winning the SB, they'd do SOMETHING.
The other thing KC and Philly did last year was they traded draft picks for proven players. Philly traded for AJ Brown, KC traded for Toney and both were massive reasons why they 1) made it to the SB and 2) won the SB.

I've got a bit of a different take than the OP, but with some overlap.
I'd say this teams biggest needs as of today are (no particular order):
True #2 WR - I totally agree that we need to draft a WR in this draft, but it can't be forced over other needs that are more immediate, and concerning. I think that even if the board didn't "fall right" to select a WR, we would be okay. I have a good level of confidence that Davis will rebound.
MLB: I think that Bobby Wagner might be asking for too much, and regardless, we would still need to draft the "heir apparent". I think that we have very little choice but to draft MLB in the first round. Easily the #1 need this draft.
Dominant DT - Personally I'm looking for a depth player, with NOSE tackle capabilities. We are lacking in that area.
Right Tackle - I'm just going to call this Offensive Tackle. We did spend a third rounder on RT. He hasn't worked out all that well yet, and needs some competition. We also need a better swing tackle option (maybe the current starter can be a very good backup....).
Backup QB - Yeah sure, but maybe Georgia's Stetson Bennett in round 6 if he's the BPA.
Here's where I differ:
Backup OC: Morse has some injury issues, is older, and we need insurance there. I'd draft an interior O-lineman with versatility at GUARD and CENTER, as early as the second round.
Safety: Although Hyde and Poyer are still playing at a high level, they are geriatric in football years (will they play a full season? Injuries are harder to overcome, and you DO start to slow down as you age). You don't wait until these old dudes fall apart before addressing the position. No disrespect. I LOVE both of Hyde and Poyer, but we have to be realistic and plan for the future. I'm drafting TWO safeties in this draft if it falls that way.
Seeing how they are really focusing on the offensive line in FA, they may very well go OT early. They may have realized they have to protect Allen better and be able to run the ball and in doing so need to invest in their offensive line. I would not be mad at RT, then MLB in the 2nd and then BPA from there on out. There are some good WR's projected to go 3rd-4th rounds and some big boys in mid rounds for DT depth.

I honestly have no idea. I’m just amazed that anyone is ready to put all the eggs in that one basket.
I highly doubt they are banking on Bernard, but they may be thinking between Bernard, Dodson, Spector and then a mid round pick this year they can find someone? Who knows.

So that’s the plan? This’ll be interesting for sure. Have we seen anything that would show he’s ready to assume that role? I’m game if you are! 👍
He struggled last year in his only start against I think the Jets?

Wrong. They do have one. They drafted bernard last year with a day 2 pick as insurance in losing edmunds. They need to develop him and make it work. Can’t keep dumping into the d and ignoring the offense with premium picks.
Agreed. He's got a long ways to go though. He's undersized for a MLB first off. I think when he was drafted he's like 6'3 225. He'd need to bulk up this offseason and put on a solid 15-20lbs to even be considered an every down MLB. They also liked Baylon Spencer too and re-signed Tyrel Dodson who has seen some starting action when Edmunds was out. Not saying any of those guys are the answer, but I'm sick of ignoring the offense to continue to try and win a SB through a defense.
This offense needs weapons and to protect Allen. They're working on the protection part, but we need a RT and legit #2 WR more than anything else. Obviously stud LB too but RT, WR, and LB most important.

Excited to see what Shakir can do next year. He showed glimpses last year and hopefully with a full year under his belt he can turn into a legit slot receiver.

The Edwards signing boosts the IOL so, for better or worse, I think they're about done there.
R1 - LB/OT
R2 - OT/LB
R3 - WR/DL
R4 - DL/WR
R5 - S/TE
R6 - TE/S
Problem with this is based on several different big boards, not many LB's ranked high. Most have shown early 2nd rounds for the highest rated LB's.

I'd say this teams biggest needs as of today are (no particular order):
True #2 WR - I know there are a lot of Gabe Davis fans out there, but to me the Bills need more than Gabe Davis. No doubt about it, he's solid, but teams last year showed how to stop the Bills: Double Diggs, put their best #1 CB on Gabe Davis = shut us down. It's probably wishful thinking, but send Ed Oliver and a 3rd or 4th to either Tampa or Arizona for Mike Evans or DeAndre Hopkins. Make a splash Buffalo. Teams in our division are. Miami, the Jets, all are make legit strong pushes to take over the division. Stop trying to build through the draft every year and go after a legit day 1 impact player.
MLB: Bobby Wagner on a 1 year deal here makes so much sense. Granted I know our CAP space is tight, but there's ways to work around this. This draft isn't loaded with great MLB's.
Dominant DT - Right now I think we have Oliver, Settle, and Jones on the roster? We need a stud run stuffer in the middle. Someone 320+, not another 280lb DT like Ed. If we could get a 3rd or 4th out of Oliver, I'd do it in a heart beat.
Right Tackle - Someone has to come in and compete with Spencer Brown. He has ranked near the bottom in his two years in the NFL. I know Beane gave him some praise at the end of year presser, but you can't tell me they're satisfied with what he's shown. He and Saffold were hands down the two worse players on our Oline last year.
Backup QB - I think the Bills are going to try and draft a late round QB to compete with Barkley for the backup spot. A backup QB would cost a lot less than signing a veteran and we've seen in the league the last couple years several late round QB's become decent quality QB's.
So this would mean WR, MLB, DT, and RT are all our biggest needs. Looking at PFF's Big Board
WR: 5 ranked inside the top 30/ 2 inside the top 11
DT: 3 inside the top 30/ 2 inside the top 13
RT: 4 inside the top 30/ 2 inside top 20
MLB: 0 inside the top 30/ 4 from 37 to 66
Obviously their rankings don't really mean much in the grand scheme of things and most NFL teams could look a lot different, but just for reference it does show which positions are strong in the early rounds.
Unless the Bills do the unthinkable and send a pick for a Mike Evans or DeAndre Hopkins, I'd say the likeliest choice at 27 will be WR or RT. Flowers, Addison, Downs, or Harrison, Jones (Georgia), or Jones (OSU).
Whoever it is needs to be a day 1 impact starter.

To be initiated into the gang now you have to admit despite going to the playoffs every year we have one of the worst organizations top to bottom in the history of sports.
The Ralph Wilson days were brutal. He ran this organization so bad for so many years. Great man with great intentions but he was hands down one of the worst owners when it came to putting a winning product on the field.-

Anyone else think Ed Oliver could be on the trading block this off-season? I can see it happening. I think McDermott and Beane know Oliver has underperformed and want to get bigger upfront.
They did not give him a ringing endorsement yesterday in the PC.He’s listed at 6’1 287, and I think the defense needs that 6’2 320lb DT in the middle of the defense.
I think they know there is going to be a lot of expectations next year and have to get agressive with their FA’s and draft picks and maybe getting rid of 1-2 players that haven’t played to the level they want.
I’m not sure what his trade value is, probably a 3rd or 4th rounder? He has hasn’t been terrible, just think he’s not a fit as a 1 tech taking on double teams.
I just think we have to make 1-2 trades this year to make the jump our fan base and front office knows has to be made. The Rams did it two years ago, the Eagles did it this year, the 49ers did it this year, it’s time to trade draft picks for proven players.
Imagine what AJ Brown would have done for our offense like it did to Philly’s this year.
Worst Mock Drafts

I think it's so hard to do mock's right now with the possibility of us trading for Hopkins. You trade for Hopkins, our entire draft outlook changes honestly. You go out and trade Hopkins I'm going into the draft and taking either OT or LB in the 1st. Assuming we trade a 3rd or something for Hopkins then i'm using a 2nd on whatever I didn't draft in the first and then from there on out adding depth guys.
