I believe that Strong would be the better option in week 3 facing Hill and Waddle, can't see the benefit of him not starting this week after playing well as a week one rookie.

Membou's grading out that well is impressive, give that he is a rookie in week 1! Only 21 years old too. The Jets must be really happy that he's hit the ground running.

Unfortunately the last time KC lost in week one, at home against Detroit in 2023, they retained their Super Bowl crown defeating San Francisco in overtime - Super Bowl LVIII, the only Super Bowl I didn't watch by choice as an adult. Detroit managing to blow their best chance to get to the Super Bowl in the Campbell era to date. KC going and winning on the road twice after the Wild Card at Arrowhead. In the Andy Reid coached KC era they've only been soundly defeated in the postseason by the Buccaneers and the Eagles. Playing five Super Bowls in six years is amazing, painful and frustrating (for every non Chiefs fan). Implications for the Bills? Focus on the Ravens and do your absolute best to get to 1-0 in the final stadium opener at our current home. There is no shame in losing to Baltimore if it does not happen and we have to believe that we can climb the mountain this year. I don't think KC will panic and nobody will count them out yet there are chinks potentially appearing in the armour and there is a first time for everything. What I'd love is for an AFC team to comprehensively defeat them in the playoffs this year, ideally before the AFC Championship game.

I just don't undestand why they didn't say that adverts would happen four or five weeks ago when the transaction happen and they seem to have only informed the audience during an interview a day before the new season kicks off where Hanson is saying "don't shoot the messenger".

It was supposed to retain the same format for this season? I assume we will miss plays because of the advertising. Roger Goodell explained why he doesn’t think ESPN will change NFL RedZone

I loved seeing a number 80 playing for the Buffalo Bills on offense but alas not by Shavers this year. Not seen this posted elsewhere. Still eager to see what he can do when given the opportunity. Bills' promising WR Tyrell Shavers changes jersey number to match two recent Buffalo stars Bills Rising WR Will Have a New Look For Week 1

We really need Bishop to show like he belongs this year as a starting safety, he has got to show something after Hyde being here for the playoffs and now getting in Poyer in for the whole of year two. I wonder what will happen to Justin Simmons this year.

Gabe is only four months older than Tyrell Shavers, both born in 1999, April 1st for Gabe, August 18th for Tyrell - both are 26 years old. Moore is a year younger at 25. Generally people want Shavers to make the 53 to see whether he can do something, he keeps working hard in practice but hasn't got a full opportunity yet to be WR, mostly being a special teamer. Right now I'd assume that Moore is WR4 if the season started this Sunday given Samuel is seemingly injured, Shavers the default WR5 and Samuel probably on IR. Having played three extra seasons than Gabe, Samuel has less than 700 yards extra and has scored less touchdowns, 29 for Gabe versus 23 for Samuel. For me there is not much upside in Samuel, age 29 and injured a lot and to my knowledge doesn not play ST but dead money comes into it. If Gabe does come back I am not going to dwell on the past, can he be a dependable WR4 this season? If he's back we just have to root for him to do well.

Did a trade down with New Orleans - 30 and 206 for 40, 71 and New Orleans' 6th rounder. I just hope that Sanders and Farmer are a sufficient compliment to our existing DT group. 40. Benjamin Morrison CB Notre Dame 56. J.T. Tuimoloau EDGE Ohio State 62. T.J. Sanders DT South Carolina 71. Jalen Royals WR Utah State 109. Demetrius Knight Jr. LB South Carolina 132. Joshua Farmer DT Florida State 169. Jared Ivey EDGE Ole Miss 170. Kitan Crawford S Nevada 173. Zah Frazier CB UTSA 177. Jack Nelson OT Wisconsin 2026 NO 6th

If you still want to do so, Royals has edged ahead by one vote!

Voted Collins. We then at the very least would not be undersized at DT anymore and presumably would feel more confident in containing the opposing running game. 1TDT would then be well stocked for the next 3 seasons.

I voted Revel this time around. He will seemingly miss a lot of this year and this is where you would hope the fifth year option comes into play where it will be IR/ease into pro football in year one, three very good years and then the fifth year option or long term extension happens. I am not sure he would be extended with only 2.25 good years on tape but I could be wrong! This time around I would be alright with any of the options that are available.

@Virgil and everyone else participating in the draft, I am sorry that I was unable to make the pick on schedule. When I was attempting to login there was a warning stating that the security certificate had expired. I was following the thread all day waiting for my turn to pick. Belatedly I welcome Maxwell Hairston to the Minnesota Vikings! I will continue to follow the draft even though the Vikings have no further picks. If I was to have made the pick as the Vikings GM, it would have been Jihaad Campbell (LB), who could have been a versatile chess piece for Brian Flores to unleash. Thanks to to all who stepped in to keep the mock going in my absence.

Vikings, Packers, Eagles Thank you

Traded with the Raiders 62 for 68 and 143 - they got Q. Judkins RB and we got Alfred Collins and Jamaree Caldwell - two genuine 1TDT. Jags wanted a late trade 173 and 2026 NYJ7th for 182 and 221 - took Colby OG and local darling Dolac with the "bonus" pick 30. Shavon Revel CB East Carolina 56. J.T. Tuimoloau EDGE Ohio State 68. Alfred Collins DT Texas 109. Dont'e Thornton WR Tennessee 132. Quincy Riley CB Louisville 143. Jamaree Caldwell DT Oregon 169. Kyle McCord QB Syracuse 170. Jack Sawyer EDGE Ohio State 177. Jalen Travis OT Iowa State 182. Connor Colby OG Iowa 206. Ty Robinson DT Nebraska 221. Shaun Dolac LB Buffalo

When you go to the PFN draft simulator and see the CB profiles, I like Strong's the best. Seems potentially a bit undervalued considering that at least 3 of the top CB prospects have injury concerns of some kind, (Johnson, Revel and Morrison). Zy Alexander is also considered to be a better than average CB in terms of tackling, he is someone else that i find interesting especially if 2 cornerbacks are drafted by Buffalo in this upcoming draft.

Voted Amos out of the two available choices. From the highlights earlier in the thread he plays both outside CB positions and he has a better chance of being a week one starter, as of now, versus Nolen. You'd assume he'd be on the field at least 80% of the snaps on D, Nolen would be lucky to hit 45% on a constant basis under this regime.

Looking at PFN simulator, here are the candidates from their rankings that are still available in the TSW mock draft but not in the poll; DB Benjamin Morrison Notre Dame #39 DT Tyleik Williams Ohio State #29 LB Carson Schwesigner UCLA #46 ED Nic Scourton Texas A&M #26 WR Jaylin Noel Iowa State #49 The cut off limit for the above was pick number 50 - they believe the needs for Buffalo are CB-DT-LB-Edge-WR There are two further players in the top 40 not in the poll which are not in their top 5 needs; TE Colston Loveland Michigan #18 DB Xavier Watts Notre Dame #38 They have Morrison higher than Amos. Williams above the already picked Grant. I would vote for Scourton, with Amos as the 2nd choice.

Trading with Cleveland to get back pick 94 at using that on WR Thornton. Taking 2 Wide Receivers and 2 Cornerbacks. 33. Donovan Ezeiruaku EDGE Boston College 56. Darien Porter CB Iowa State 62. Jayden Higgins WR Iowa State 94. Dont'e Thornton WR Tennessee 111. Zy Alexander CB LSU 132. Smael Mondon Jr. LB Georgia 163. Jamaree Caldwell DT Oregon 169. Kitan Crawford S Nevada 173. Jarquez Hunter RB Auburn 177. Riley Leonard QB Notre Dame 206. Vernon Broughton DT Texas

Here is one I just did on PFN What I have seen recently is that at least 85% of the time both Williams and Grant at DT make it to our pick. Sawyer seems to have fallen around 70 spots since the combine. 31. Kenneth Grant DT Michigan 56. J.T. Tuimoloau EDGE Ohio State 62. Alfred Collins DT Texas 95. Dorian Strong CB Virginia Tech 110. Jack Sawyer EDGE Ohio State 132. Tory Horton WR Colorado State 133. Demetrius Knight Jr. LB South Carolina 169. Kitan Crawford S Nevada 170. Oluwafemi Oladejo EDGE UCLA 177. Kyle McCord QB Syracuse 206. Carson Vinson OT Alabama A&M 207. Phil Mafah RB Clemson With the obligatory trade down with KC!

To me it sounds like Beane is accepting the 6 weeks for both players - roughly at 13 minutes in.

If this news had happened to the Browns, we would be laughing hard at them. A real shame it happened to us. Hoecht i would have avoided in FA, since it was known whilst negotiating.

I assume the players you are referring to are making plays against the Bills D - no surprises there. The three immediate standout plays from that game on the Buffalo side are made by Mack Hollins, Jordan Phillips and James Cook. One has left, the other will probably retire (or take PS deal here) and the third is wanting an upgraded contract and if unresolved could be an issue. Mack Hollins is making that catch whilst being fouled by an All-Pro, coached by Spags, down 11 at the end of the 2nd half at Arrowhead. He delivered. We are losing two quirky, edgy guys who bring the "juice", that energy needs to be replaced somehow.

I just hope our next JAG WR can make plays like this when the season is on the line. https://youtu.be/K5Dva8aPEwE

It'd be nice to come away from FA with one genuine 1-tech DT and draft one in the draft too
