The only thing I can say is that those guys are not going to be there in round two. Maybe Morrison and Thomas. I think rest are all way gone. Last year the first corner did not go until 22 and still 8 corners went before pick 56 and then two more went by 62. In 2023, 8 corners went by pick 56, 9 by 62. In 2022, 8 corners went by pick 56, 9 by 62. Hunter, Johnson, Barron, Hairston, Amos, Revel, will almost certainly be gone in the first 35-40 or so picks. Morrison, Thomas, makes 8. After that it’s Porter. Maybe one of those three guys are there…Morrison coming off an injury, Thomas is slow, and Porter is inexperienced, raw, and old. Just based on trends etc, these guys will likely all be gone by the time we pick at 56. So it’s either trade down from 30 or trade up from 56 if you really want that stud tackle and a corner. You can skip corner all together if you are content with Dane Jackson or JaMarcus Ingram as a starter, which is absurd for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. But as you said, the move up is possible, so who knows. What I do feel very confident saying is that they won’t be able to get their future starting corner at pick 56.

It’s Moulds. But, as currently constituted, this team could really use a Lee Evans or Peerless Price.

I’d take Johnson in a second. Dont care about the timed speed a ton. He doesn’t look slow on film, but I wouldn’t hesitate.

The fundamental issue with this regime is that Beane has backed himself into a corner where he has these two big needs. BPA is never going to happen with the current needs on the roster. But there are avenues in which he can fill both of those needs by trading one of those picks. I don’t you can fill both standing pat, maybe you can, but you will be settling for lesser players and maybe reaching.

Agreed! Makes a lot of sense

Been saying it awhile, but unless they make other additions, it’s going to be a corner. Maybe I’m wrong, but this regime is not clever about all this. I just hope they pick the right one.

Draft Trevor Etienne. He’s James Cook, slightly more explosive and a little shorter. 5 years younger. Very little tread on the tires. Strong bloodlines. That’s how you reset things instead of paying Cook imo. To me he’s a guy no one is talking about and will be the steal of the draft.

I don’t see Grant or Collins as pure 1 techs. Grant can play both and Collins can as well, in addition Collins can probably play a heavy 5 tech like a Calais Campbell with his length. Some draft people see Collins as a better three tech who can play 1 tech because he’s huge. Neither of those guys are pure 1 techs. I think they are versatile pieces. In my mind, on a team who rotates a ton, you get two versatile monsters in the interior to go along with Oliver, Larry O, maybe Carter. It also makes Jones expendable. Same way I feel about receivers and X, Zs and all that stuff. Get versatile pieces who can ball. Sanders is a pure 3 tech only who kinda just becomes the new Jordan Phillips and I am not down for another slow receiver with Harris. He would be like receiver 5 on the depth chart. Makes no sense at this point imo.

So many really good running backs in this draft.

Yeah I suppose they could take their chances later and pivot to one of the vets left after the draft if they don’t get one. I still think a trade for a scheme change guy who has been blocked and fallen out of favor like JuJu Brents makes sense. He’s just as interesting as the second tier guys and only 25.

Dude is massive

Bring back Quentin Morris on a league minimum deal or something of that nature.

I agree, but I do think all the top corners will be gone by the time we pick in round 2.

I am doubling up on DT here with Collins. 6-6, 335 with 35 inch arms is something we don’t really have. So drafting traits here. But he’s massive. Harris is a good player, but I am not sure he is what this offense needs.

Azareye'hThomas and Donovan Jackson have been selected already in draft

Yep I agree 100%. It’s a really strange pattern. I guess it’s better than the teams who leave a million holes like the 49ers I just drafted for. They need a OL, DL, CB, edge and off ball backer. So no one knows where they might go. I give credit to Beane filling most of the holes, but leaving that one spot open really forces their hand and makes them pass on guys like Tyler Linderbaum, Tyler Smith, George Karlaftis and Jermaine Johnson in 2022. Both those edge guys went way later than expected and were there for the taking. But we absolutely had to have the corner so could not take BPA. It’s incredibly short sighted, and for a really intelligent front office, it’s really really dumb.

Agreed 100%. I think the depth at D-tackle allows you to get one later with much less drop-off. The dropoff in corner to the next tier is significant imo. Probably looking at Dorian Strong, though according to draft people this is high for him. I think a small trade back is possible, but some of the draft people are saying they don’t foresee a lot of trade ups, unless maybe it’s a team desperate for extra picks.

Looks like Morrison is the last corner standing

I think with where the board is the Colts would take Tyler Booker, guard, Alabama

I think it’s Amos or Hairston in round 1

Morrrison and Thomas are what’s left here in this range. I think that’s the issue skipping CB in round 1, but we shall how it plays out. There are some interesting rounds 3-4 guys but we don’t have a third so that’s tricky as well.

With the 43rd pick in the TBD mock draft 2.0, the San Francisco 49ers select Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss The Niners have a ton of needs and I think this was good value at a position of need and a really good system fit. Some draft guys feel like Amos is perfect for what the Niners want to do defensively. We’ve talked about Amos a ton on here as a possible Bills target, and I am hopefully they draft him. I thought about DL here, but it seems like the Niners are targeting more 3rd roundish guys. I am happy to come out of this draft with 2 instant starters in Banks and Amos. The Cowgirls and @Might Rather are on the clock.

Bass’s career field goal made percentage is 84.5%. Gay’s is 85.5%. Gay was really good with the Rams over 92%. They are both extremely average. Bass does not deserve the contract he has. Gay did deserve the contract he got when he signed it. He is not worth that anymore. Point being, unless you have an elite kicker, don’t bother paying one. 85% FG percentage is dime a dozen stuff. I know people get emotional about players. The Bills should be looking for an upgrade at the position. He’s a dime a dozen kicker.

I like the fit. What do you think? If he and Revel were not hurt are they projected significantly higher?

I feel like Ulofosio is. He was a core special teams guy towards the end of the season. The other guys are whatever.
