    Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Round 1 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)

    Perception is noise, but noise can also be a weapon. Ask Manuel Noriega.

     

    I do think Beane gains within the GM-club by making the deal, without demanding a gouge deal. His willingness to accomodate Veach will presumably lead to his own cachet for moving up or down a little, fairly, to be looked favorably among other GMs. Part of GM'ing is political and making your trading partner look like not a fool is not insignificant.

     

    My own strategery for the Bills in this draft was to try to get 4 top-100 picks. There may be fallers or sleepers later but the most useful players in this draft seem to get scarce between 100 and 120. Bills having the chasm from pick 60 to 128, it was imperative for them to gain at least one, preferably 2, additional picks in that Goldilocks zone of players who may be capable of contributing this year. 

     

    To me, Beane's doing what I would have done to try to marry value and need by using the juice of a higher pick to elevate other picks into that sweet spot - IF the player(s) you've honed in on at the top end are likely to still be available at the trade-down. 

    I also know we are short on the DL and in the defensive backfield.  We would like a decent RB to pair with Jimbo Cook.  There are WRs available, but the Buffalo Bills need players and it is nice to have players on rookie contracts at this point. 

    The centers are on the board, the G from CT is on the board, a number of nice DBs are on the board, fgs Newton is on the Board!    Big Baller is doing fine.

    TSW Mock Draft 3.0 - Completed!

    in The Stadium Wall

    spelling

    With the 8th Pick in the Stadium wall Mock Draft the Atlanta Falcons select Edge Rusher Dallas Turner Alabama.

     

    After spending serious capital and resources on the Offense over the past years the Falcons draft someone who should help their Defense.  They had Turner in their sites all along unless someone fell unsuspectedly. 

    They are happy in Atlanta.   

     

    The Chicago Bears and @HappyDays are on the clock
