Victory Formation

I would need their 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks for the next 5 Drafts to even consider it.

28 Brian Thomas Jr. WR | LSU 57 Ja'Lynn Polk WR | Washington TRADE 128 Tykee Smith S | Georgia 133 Malik Mustapha S | Wake Forest 144 Isaac Guerendo RB | Louisville 163 Jordan Jefferson DL | LSU 200 Dwight McGlothern CB | Arkansas 204 Jaylan Ford LB | Texas 248 Grayson Murphy EDGE | UCLA

16 Brian Thomas Jr. WR | LSU TRADE (#28 and 2025 RD2) 84 Dominick Puni IOL | Kansas TRADE 98 DeWayne Carter DL | Duke TRADE 128 Luke McCaffrey WR | Rice 133 Malik Mustapha S | Wake Forest 144 Isaac Guerendo RB | Louisville 160 Mason McCormick IOL | South Dakota State 163 Tommy Eichenberg LB | Ohio State 195 Jalyx Hunt EDGE | Houston Baptist TRADE 200 Myles Cole EDGE | Texas Tech 204 Gabe Hall DL | Baylor 248 Demani Richardson S | Texas A&M

You don’t eat $30M in dead cap just to sign another receiver for $25M/yr.

Troy Franklin and Javon Bullard would not be a bad reality for Buffalo. I could live with that. Take Luke McCaffrey RD4 and double down on receiver and we’re golden.

28 Troy Franklin WR | Oregon 62 Cooper Beebe IOL | Kansas State TRADE 93 DeWayne Carter DL | Duke TRADE 128 Luke McCaffrey WR | Rice 133 Malik Mustapha S | Wake Forest 144 Ben Sinnott TE | Kansas State 160 Tommy Eichenberg LB | Ohio State 163 Justin Eboigbe DL | Alabama 200 Nelson Ceaser EDGE | Houston 204 Sataoa Laumea IOL | Utah 248 Dwight McGlothern CB | Arkansas 250 J.D. Bertrand LB | Notre Dame

I went with Michael Hall Jr.. Perfect player to back up Oliver at that 3T spot and we can pair him up with Ed inside on passing downs. I think we can find depth at safety and OL in RD 4-5.

No worries, you had a great list initially just thought I’d add some food for thought.

Is Michael Hall Jr available? The DT from OSU? Calen Bullock, S, USC Patrick Paul, OT, Houston Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin Cole Bishop, S, Utah

I know that us Bills fans love football, but how do you begin to measure us against other fanbases collectively?

You can’t go wrong with Franklin here.

28 Graham Barton IOL | Duke 63 Michael Hall Jr. DL | Ohio State TRADE 94 Jermaine Burton WR | Alabama TRADE 106 Javon Baker WR | UCF TRADE 132 Tykee Smith S | Georgia TRADE 144 Isaac Guerendo RB | Louisville 160 Mason McCormick IOL | South Dakota State 163 Justin Eboigbe DL | Alabama 200 Jalyx Hunt EDGE | Houston Baptist 204 Braiden McGregor EDGE | Michigan 211 Tyrice Knight LB | UTEP TRADE 248 Evan Williams S | Oregon 251 Jaden Crumedy DL | Mississippi State

The way I see this WR class or at least the top 3 tiers Tier 1 Marvin Harrison Jr Malik Nabers Rome Odunze (Buffalo would have to package up two 1st and two 2nds in a blockbuster trade.) Tier 2 Brian Thomas Jr Xavier Legette (BTJ we would have to trade up for by maybe 10-15 picks. Legette should still be there at 28.) NOTICEABLE DROP OFF AT TALENT HERE. Tier 3 Xavier Worthy Troy Franklin Ja’Lynn Polk Jermaine Burton Javon Baker Ricky Pearsall (These are the guys I like, feel free to add your own.) If it were me, I would see three viable options 1.) Wow somebody away in the top 15-20 picks for Brian Thomas Jr.. maybe a 2024 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and a 2025 3rd. 2.) Stay put and hope that Xavier Legette is there. 3.) Trade down/stay put and double dip and draft two “good” WRs in the third tier. Yes we would lack a true #1 but we would have multiple good options/weapons for Josh Alllen.

@billsfan89 @Dr. Who @nosejob As far as targets go, Cover 1 has a video on this very topic tonight at 7PM on YouTube, make sure you guys check them out, they do a great job over there!

Me too. I wonder if we could get a 3rd for him.

16 Brian Thomas Jr. WR | LSU (TRADE #28, #128, #160 + 2025 3rd for #16 overall) 62 Kris Jenkins DL | Michigan 113 Javon Baker WR | UCF 130 DeWayne Carter DL | Duke 133 Malik Mustapha S | Wake Forest 144 Tykee Smith S | Georgia 163 Jarrian Jones CB | Florida State 165 Dwight McGlothern CB | Arkansas 200 Walter Rouse OT | Oklahoma 204 Cedric Johnson EDGE | Mississippi *traded from #60 down to #62 for a few picks.

Oh, absolutely. Especially if we could get BTJ for 28 and maybe our 4th and 5th and maybe our 3rd next year, I’d feel a lot better about it if the compensation is right. Ideally we hang onto all three of our 2nds.

If you’re Beane, please just take your guy at 28. Don’t get cute. I don’t care if it’s BTJ or Legette, reach 10-15 spots if you have to, this Draft is too good not to.

I love Legette if we stay put. Kid has crazy upside as a true #1 WR. He almost reminds me of Eric Moulds a bit, if not a lot….. Also, I would be pumped if we somehow landed BTJ. Especially if we could hang onto our 2nd round picks and maybe give up a 3rd next year along with some mid round picks… That’s where I’m at now going into the draft. I want BTJ or Legette. Preferably BTJ depending on compensation!

Marino was talking about this on his show today. I love him, great guy, but I could not disagree more. He says we may not go WR in RD1 and he was making a case that we don’t go WR until RD 2-4. You have my word, if we take Cooper DeJean or some other position that is not WR I will lose it.

Don’t forget that Beane traded our #1 WR while taking a $30M cap hit. He has a lot of skin on the line. If he doesn’t deliver, he could be in deep dog doo doo.

Everyone talks about MHJ but Nabers is as good as any prospect that I’ve seen over the last five years, but as good as he is, I can’t justify giving up that much for him. I’d rather we stay put, trade down or trade up in the 2nd round. Only a QB is worth that much capital.

I doubt this will happen it’s so unrealistic but what the heck.. 50 Troy Franklin WR | Oregon TRADE 53 Xavier Legette WR | South Carolina TRADE 60 Patrick Paul OT | Houston 102 Calen Bullock S | USC TRADE 109 Dominick Puni IOL | Kansas TRADE 160 Jarrian Jones CB | Florida State 163 Tykee Smith S | Georgia 171 Jordan Jefferson DL | LSU TRADE 200 Dwight McGlothern CB | Arkansas 204 Gabe Hall DL | Baylor 248 Keith Randolph Jr. DL | Illinois

Don’t mind me, I’m just a “bro scout” at best but wouldn’t it make sense to double down on WR at 28 and 60? This is a very nice class. What other holes do we have?

Oh, absolutely. If you have a good GM like Brandon Beane you can find good players everywhere. I just think that in: RDs 1-2 you should be getting an above average starter. RDs 3-5 A player that may develop into a starter. and RDs 6-7 STs player, backup, TC fodder. There’s exceptions to every rule though like you said. I’m just saying that by the time you get to RDs 5-7, mostly everything has been picked over at that point.
