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

It's not generally wise to trade up in round 1 unless it's for a QB or it's for some presumed "last piece of the championship puzzle"...whatever that really means. So without knowing who we're trading up for, it's really difficult for me to sign off on surrendering what should be multiple future cost-controlled starters for one unknown prospect at DT, WR, or CB. 56 and 62 are VALUABLE picks. I prefer letting the board fall in round 1, and then potentially moving around at reduced cost/risk. Or, I'd understand moving up a handful of picks in round 1 if the guy they truly covet is sticking out and there's intel that he's about to be scooped. Need to hit on multiple impact players every draft, if possible, to continue to grow and evolve. This is what you'd like to see for the 3.0 mock, or the real Bills 2025 draft?

Funny stuff in here with the knee jerk doomers who don't see any room for nuance or uncertainty. A Tre White/Dane Jackson platoon at CB2 DOES unfortunately sound very McBeaney. Think Levi Wallace, Josh Norman, Kevin Johnson, EJ Gaines, Vontae Davis LOL, Dane Jackson et al. But there is ZERO indication that the Bills still won't add one or more prospects to the position group. They might even still spend a top-100 pick on the position. We don't even know the actual guaranteed money in Tre's deal. Maybe it's just an educated gamble, knowing the floor is a Micah Hyde-like presence in the room and on the sidelines, and the ceiling is a steady CB2 who's only 30 and now entering his 2nd year removed from major injury. Would be a bit of an overpay if he just can't play anymore, but could be a nice value if he CAN. Still need at least one more viable CB2 candidate, no doubt. And that will come from the draft and post-draft process. Benford was drafted when? Johnson was drafted when? Good fits are there to be found in his draft. Rounds 2-4 appear to be loaded with potential starters.

When did overtly pushing a ball carrier become legal? I'm remembering the uproar following that Reggie Bush push conversion (ND vs USC). The play was technically illegal at the time. Was that not also true in the NFL? Rugby "ruck" strategies were not meant to be part of the league, until they were. When did that change?

Is everyone forgetting the 80s Bears goal-line MO with Sweetness? Go refresh your memories with the impressive insanity of a HOF RB launching himself over and also directly into head-on car crashes like some kind of residual 19th C trench warfare.

Just nabbed Ransaw (for the first time, and learned a bit about him) in the 5th in my latest mock draft simulation. Nickel flex is welcome, given the nature of Taron Johnson's run fit responsibilities.

But what about Revel, Morrison, Watts, Nolen, Burden III? Are they available? What other DL prospects are currently being UNDER valued by fans/draftniks? Is TJ Sanders a fringe 1st rd guy? What about, gulp, Landon Jackson? (I fear the Bills love him a lot.) (Green's not even on a McBeane draft board tbh. But the others comprise an appealing list of pick #30 prospects. To see the scenario where they're all gone at 30 as "doomsday" is a little silly, depending on the availability of players I mentioned above.)

Can't call it "indefensible" without knowing how the draft plays out. I, too, am stacking mock draft simulations featuring 2 DTs (AND often 2 CBs). Good year for it. But, the board could of course fall in a way that makes pre-determined double-dipping at ANY position unwise or forced. Beane still needs to beef up other position pipelines as those opportunities present themselves. Possible that S and/or CB and/or DE and/or WR value is just screaming at Beane early and often. Maximizing the draft should be each year's goal; the more insulated that process is from the current offseason's depth chart, the better.

No, that would be hilarious. Legendary. (Does anyone qualify among this year's pool? Is Jack Bech "slow"? Wait, Xavier Restrepo IS definitely slow MINGA.)

Can we agree that Mike Green is probably OFF the Bills board due to character concerns? I'll bet they LOVE Donovan Ezeiraku and Landon Jackson and Derrick Harmon and Joshua Farmer and Jamaree Caldwell. (Not some hot take, obviously.) Something fits about those particular prospects/visits and this current organization. Oh and J.T. Tuiamolau.

That list will catch fewer felonies than any single KC position group, though. So, you know...

I prefer instead to employ an aggressive infield shift, leaving 1st or 3rd uncovered when the analytics allow.

I have a bunch of issues with this mock, starting with Revel sliding to 62?! Obviously you'd tear a hammy to get that card submitted at 62, but probably also before that at 56. If Starks falls to 30 I don't HATE that idea for McDermott, but who else has questions about Farmer at 56? And ONLY getting Farmer (more of a 3-tech) at DT seems like a missed opportunity this draft.

Jack Nelson as an Alec Anderson 6th OL replacement (when Anderson moves to LG in 2026). Any thoughts? I see a versatile pro (that Kromer will love) who can provide depth at 4/5 positions at first, and maybe develop into a starter?

His ex was plastic and constructed to be appealing to insta dummies.

It was down to WR Harris, DT Sanders, DT Collins, and S Mukuba for me. And I voted for the lamest pick of the 4 tbh (Mukuba). Sanders or Harris are probably the correct answers.

Jim Kelly's throwing motion is awful.

No one is comparing literal "crimes" here. Just making jokes. Carry on.

Clements didn't earn consideration in this all-time team conversation, but he had 2 or 3 REALLY strong seasons with the Bills, and while he benefitted early from having Winfield on the other side, eventually he became a lockdown guy who would even occasionally "travel" with #1WRs. During the first half of the drought, the Bills did a nice job of transitioning from Winfield+Clements to Clements+McGee. For whatever that's worth.

And Mr Weo was making a joke about speed limits (laws) NOT in fact stopping him from speeding. So as to suggest...

I think Morrison could be valuable in McDermott's scheme (aggression, instincts, character) while Hairston might solve the larger McBeane equation: scheme fit + insane traits - somewhat limited experience. Only way I'd like to see one of these CBs at 30 though is if there is an unexpected run on them in the 20s, and you're grabbing the last remaining of Morrison, Hairston, and maybe Amos? That's a lot of 1st round CBs. Which would hopefully mean some of those nimble giants (DTs) the Bills need are sliding into day two.

So, just now looked at this mock draft so far (through pick 14), and...I have questions. First question: what the ****

Oh but you can

Yeah, my reply to you is really "convicting him"... I only commented on your predictable inclination to give the benefit of the doubt to someone with HOW MANY domestic disturbances in his young adulthood to date? Almost like it's a reflexive behavior for anyone who has to justify pride in a certain Missouri-based organization with an IMPRESSIVE history of disgusting behavior among its employees. No one commenting here has any power to "convict" anyone. We are free to comment on patterns of behavior that are obvious and repugnant. Just like you're free to defend that stench, I guess.

Figures your first thought would be to defend him LOL
