There will still be DLs who become difference makers at the next level. The key is finding them.

Or does it somehow make him MORE tradable? Giving the acquiring team another year of guaranteed control? They wouldn't make that trade if they didn't think he was worth a 2-year trial run...

Hamlin is NOT the leading candidate to start at either S position. I'd argue that Bishop is in line ahead of him, and maybe even Forrest. Agreed. But that shouldn't prevent a team from drafting a long term high end starter.

Part of me fears the Bills love Landon Johnson a LOT. Not sure why. Like pick him at 30 if he's available kind of love.

TJ Sanders and Darius Alexander will be there in rd 2 maybe? Or Alfred Collins. CJ West in rd 3? There are dudes out there.

some fans on here feeling defeated at pick 16 lol Come on, gang. Can't get hung up on specific players/needs when you're picking at the bottom of the round. Some of the perennially best orgs seem to still do well in the draft by letting it come to them.

But obviously they are currently married to him innit? Like drafting another guy would cause all kinds of noise.

Damn!

I think everyone on this board would prefer a much nerdier broadcast. Really get into the film and analysis.

Still plenty of time for painful runs on CB, DT, S, and WR.

Of course. Just saying it would be sweet to watch the teams try to just do their work. I'm sure the league would simply pump the brakes repeatedly. Most likely what's happening either way.

Agreed, except it's clear that's not how the league and its network partners view it.

San Fran took how long? Seemed almost immediate. Would love it if most teams sprinted through this thing

For those complaining about the TV production: what did you expect? It's mass entertainment almost entirely dictated by viewership metrics/growing their fanbase. Gonna be cheesy and dragged out and plastic. Why I have it on the TV but don't really pay attention to that between picks. For those complaining about the presenters who are women, get a life.

Isn't the JJ chart considered outdated at this point? The Rich Hill chart was the next source of truth from what I'd read. Not sure if that chart (albeit updated) is even still in use...

Brady is only good at one thing in this world. Damn good at it, probably the best ever. But he's kind of a derp otherwise.

Just starting this thread now, and hoping I will be encountering a general consensus of "yawn" and "wake me up when he skips camp"...but we know from the Sabres that "hope" is not a strategy Post-script: would be FINE with trading Cook if someone offers a 3rd tbh

Why not Royals? Seems to me like a sneaky good prospect. But I'm dumb

Well, i HAVE logged 74 google doc pages (and counting) of 2025 Bills mock draft simulations...at roughly 2.4 results per page, that's 178 mocks. So I'm a huge loser who should be kept AWAY from sway...

Gotta be honest: I DESPISE the DT picks compared to what's possible in this draft. 2 EDGE picks is weird, especially at 62. There HAD to be some beasts at 62. And at 56 tbh. LB plus a second EDGE at 56 and 62 is wild.

This plan might reduce the motivation for division clinchers to keep their proverbial feet on the gas late in the season. The current bye imbalance does incentivize the best 3-4 teams leaguewide to field a better viewing product in weeks 15-18, compared to your flatter, more evenly distributed bye system proposal. So that's a big reason the league and its broadcast partners won't go for it.

Commenting on the veracity of Bond's charges like this is dicey, as we don't KNOW much from our limited perspectives. Slandering female accusers is a go-to move for high profile defendants with well paid legal teams, independent of the truth. I agree with the others assuming Bond is off the Bills board all together at this point, or at the very least out of consideration on the first two nights. They're not going to pull the trigger before KC does, for example. Pearce Jr is another guy who might not be considered draftable by McBeane, unless they decide the locker room is ready to absorb such a risk. To my understanding he has off-field chatter, and moreover there's noise about his character "in the building." So football character concerns, if the couple reports I've heard/read are to be believed. Or maybe those "on-field" flags are more addressable with a strong culture. I don't know. Some pundit last week compared Pearce to Javon Kearse ffs.

Jeffrey Simmons, DT - 19th pick by Tennessee in 2019 - coming off torn ACL, he didn't get on the field until mid-October

Thinking about adding difference makers, gave up a 2nd next year (plus some '25 picks) to go up and finally get that dangerous Texas WR prospect, Golden, then nabbed my favorite CB in the 2nd, plus 2 really solid and disruptive DTs who slid a little. Crawford could possibly unseat Hamlin as the last S. Eff it we ball

Copy that. This is not real world commentary. Heard.
