"He" is Hamlin here, yes? If so, I agree that is what should happen, unless Bishop fails to progress at all. We all know McD will often play the steady, undersized/unathletic/old hand who KNOWS the defense and doesn't blow assignments over a more dynamic, but inconsistent, alternative. So Bishop needs to show substantial growth to be trusted ahead of Hamlin and even potentially Forrest (who is a sleeper candidate to earn snaps in 2025). He has a real opportunity to grab the #2 or #3 S job, of course. Has to be better to do so, though. I'll bet S gets at least one serious addition next offseason, alongside an otherwise offensive focus.

I think drafting Royals actually DOES that. Whereas drafting Bond MAYBE does that, or at least eventually does that, until the next allegations.

Isn't Farmer all potential and limited production? That's what I've surmised from draft profiles.

If both are available when the Bills pick next, they have to go with Royals who has no pending disciplinary reviews by the court system, the public, or the league.

Yes, but...the "fall" isn't exactly a real thing, but instead is the public finally learning how the league actually values a prospect.

132 (4th) + 173 + 177 = 1 more point than 103 (1st pick of 4th) according to Rich Hill chart. Probably would take 1 more 5th or at least the 2 better 5ths instead to work.

100%. Growing need for Chiefs by the end of last season was a boundary guy who could allow McDuffie to align where he's most effective, inside. Seems like KC was forced to line him up wide more often than they'd like. He can take reps anywhere, but he's ideally suited to nickel. Williams projects nicely into an aggressive pressure defense. The other two picks are solid rotational additions who can get after the passer.

Can't see the Bills going anywhere near the circus being referenced, but 100% agree that Mitchell Trubisky is awful on the field. Really hesitant.

Hating the obsession with a certain prospect's circus in this thread, HOWEVER, I am loving the sheer volume of different spellings for such a popular person's first name (not even that outlandish a spelling, even for the avg NFL fan to grasp).

Solid picks, those. Maybe a little early, yeah? Even though that doesn't matter much if they can play.

Harbaugh remains truly devoted to Bo Schembechler football.

If I control+F'd for "Sanders" or misspelled permutations of "Shedeur"...how many results would show to this point just tonight? What's the ongoing obsession? I get the story overall, but it's nonstop even in this thread. **and yes, I know the Bills 2nd round pick would skew the results

When the QB was throwing quick game to the opposite sideline, sure

Very pleased with first 2 days. Very pleased.

Obviously

LFG

Gave up a bunch of value to draft TeSlaa. Strongly suggests they had whispers of him going soon

I don't know enough about Noel, but he sounds like a poor fit in that he doesn't offer boundary flex?

Because, in large part, of the additional 96 minutes allowed, no doubt?

Agree. Swinson more likely to still be available, yeah? Also, Solomon was called out alongside Carter, and so far the Bills have already added to Carter's position group.

Liking their presenters playing the heel role (in GB) to perfection.

Watts, Jackson, or Royals would all be excellent picks. I fear none of them will last another 9 picks

Royals over Thornton for me, and Caldwell would be a major reach at 72 imho, while West would be a minor reach.

or not lol (DB to GB)

just wait like 20 seconds maybe?
