In real life I'd wonder what Gettleman would do? Okudah? Simmons? OT? Trade back with a team that wants a QB. Or do something maverick and choose a WR

Happy that Levi is doing his bit for the community, he is trying to make the world a better place in a true time of crisis. Some other more famous people just seem to have got it wrong - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/31/the-coronavirus-crisis-has-exposed-the-ugly-truth-about-celebrity-culture-and-capitalism

Given the most recent additions I went RB - WR - Edge - K - P - TE - QB In reality I think CB and OL could replace the K/P/TE/QB come April but I'd take a chance on Keene and Tate with the last 2 picks we have. I used the predicted draft order versus player rankings.

I would have thought that the marketing department would hope Diggs chooses a different number to 14 to have maximum sales. I think the numbers that are available right now are 11, 13, 19, 83 and 87 with 83 having reduced circulation and/or special permission needed to wear it. If 83 is available to Diggs I wouldn't mind seeing that number in use by a good player on gameday, not sure what others think.

Mine is pretty unrealistic, as you can I see I have given priority to the height, weight and speed in the Al Davis method of thinking. I really would push out the boat and risk the first pick on Kmet, I think he will pair well with Knox. Wilson is a massive OT with potential who doesn't need to start right away. Claypool had a great combine and is the biggest receiver in the draft. Fotu will replace Star eventually and Dillon is the biggest back by far. Onwenu appears to have great weight and arm length. I like Jonathan Garvin, young with upside, McDermott and Frazier can mould him well. Muse is a big safety who could be a late round round steal. I'd like the 2020 Bills to be physically imposing, knocking the stuffing out of our opponents.

I agree with DFT - Lamb to Arizona at pick 8 makes too much sense. If Buffalo really wants Lamb, imo they'd have to get to 7 (Carolina) and Carolina will be receiving a lot of calls from all the teams interested in Lamb. Would Rhule really entertain a trade back with, for example Simmons being there? They may be in a full rebuild but in our case a drop from 7 to 22 would be too steep I think. I think a trade up to 12/13/14 is much more feasible for a similar deal to what Pittsburgh gave up for Devin Bush. I think Lamb is a top 10 pick, the Jets would be tempted by Jeudy at 11 and we'd need to make a trade to land Ruggs within the next 3 picks (before Denver). Is Kmet a luxury pick at 22? Or slightly later with a small trade down? Is he the number 1 TE this year? I think he'd work well with Knox and we can run 2TE sets frequently. Just my attempt to think a bit outside the box.

The problem for Higgins is that his decision and how he worded it adds fuel to the fire that he is 'soft' when this was already being mentioned by other posters and pundits. It raises questions it both his physical and mental preparation, especially in comparision to his peers. He could have done 2 or 3 of the exercises I am sure. Woe me, I had the national championship game to prepare for whilst other guys were preparing for the combine at home/gym, how unfortunate am I? This will be a red flag for him and it'll put further pressure for him to have a really good pro day or private workout. I give Shenault credit for giving it a go, attempting to run the 40 even though he may not have been 100%, shows his willingness to gut it out even though things may not go well.

Using The Draft Network. I see Andrew Thomas and/or Mekhi Becton making it to number 22 in recent days. I think my first 3 choices will all go betwen picks 20 to 40 in real life, Aiyuk and Kmet are already trending upwards after the measurables at the combine. Swift and Kmet would give the Bills real offensive firepower in 2020, I wouldn't mind those two in lieu of a wide receiver since they are plentiful in comparison. I could not find a CB and instead went offense with Gandy-Golden and Dillion who I very much assume will not make it to round 6 in April. Any idea when the compensatory picks are announced?

Since 2012 - 8 years - Seattle has always had a winning record and finshed 1st or 2nd in the NFC West, qualifying for the playoffs in 7 out those 8 years, only missing out in 2017 when they finished 9-7. They have won the NFC West 3 times in that span. We cannot compete with that culture of winnning at all, yet..... If Buffalo can win the AFC East in 2020 it will really show to other free agents that Buffalo is truly on the rise with a core of young, hungry players - White, Allen, Edmunds, Oliver, Knox and others. I am curious, for the 2020 season only, would you rather be in the shoes of Seattle or Buffalo? NFC West will be tough, 49ers and the Rams both are worthy opponents and Arizona has year 2 of the Kingsbury/Murray combination and I expect there to be progress. AFC East has a champion in NE with question marks at QB and he'll be 43, should he return, Miami is dangerous and rebuilding but very beatable, Jets are clueless so it seems and Buffalo, I hope, is ready to pounce and bring their home first AFC East title since 1995. Indianapolis has a more recent AFC East title (1999)! I really hope 2020 is our year. Thanks Mr Olsen, I hope BB and SM take note and motivate the team to win.

Wide receivers in rounds 1 & 2. Running back in the 3rd. 3 defensive picks followed by 2 OL and a kicker.

Given the way Jeremiah's mock draft has fallen, I think Javon Kinlaw would be the McBeane pick at 22. Kinlaw is long and has good length and can take over Trent Murphy's position and move inside on obvious passing downs alongside Oliver. I am a fan of Mekhi Becton. If he is somehow available at 22 I would strongly consider him, his anticipated draft slot seems to vary a lot. Our offensive line would be more physically imposing with him in it: Becton - Feliciano - Morse - Ford - Dawkins with Ty and the swing backup OT and Spain walking or retained as depth. Is Dawkins set in stone at LT? Can Becton play RT? Sort it out at training camp?! The coaches/front office are invested in Ford and I assume he'd start on the line somewhere.

Immensely sad news to hear. I hope Pancho is remembered forever more in a manner deemed appropriate - whether that is a uniform patch, wall of fame, statue or jumbotron reminders, I don't know. Trust that ownership or marketing or fan outreach will determine what is best. At the very least a VIVA LOS BILLS chant at every home game, classy guy should be actively remembered.

Smith is a physically bigger TE, at 6 foot 6 & 265lbs. All the others seem to be at maximum 6 foot 4 & 255lbs. Good to have multiple body types. Still surprised that Jake Fisher was cut so early. Extremely unlikely the practice squad OL will amount to much in the long run. I hope Sweeney makes the 53, 5 yard catches are important too and he like more NFL ready than Knox at this moment.

I would like to ask, are there any places not in New York State that will receive all 16 Buffalo Bills games free to air? Thanks.

I think Singletary should take a low digit number and change later in season, if I am not mistaken Ray-Ray McCloud did this last year. I like it when receivers wear numbers in the 80-89 range, even more reason to root for Duke Williams and his #82 jersey.

I also wanted Winovich in round 3. Considering what the Bills gave up in round 4. Chase Winovich, Justice Hill and Foster Moreau vs Devin Singletary and Dawson Knox Obviously going to root for the guys chosen but I think we needed a day 2 edge rusher.

If another team is willing to part with a 4th for Zay, I am seriously tempted. At best he is WR4 after Brown, Foster & Beasley. My 6 WR would be: Size D. Williams & D. Sills Speed J. Brown & R. Foster Slot C. Beasley & N. Easley List Roberts as a pure PR/KR somehow, potentially cut DiMarco and keep Jake Fisher as TE4/FB1/Emergency OL. If the undrafted guys do not impress, cut or send to practice squad and keep Zay.

Dawkins Spain Morse Ford Nsekhe - the largest line we can field or Dawkins Spain Morse Long Ford - the most likely variant. Hard on Nsekhe with lineup two, I hope there is a fair LT competition with best man winning the starting role. Wonder whether Spain being on a one year contract will also be a factor as from what I have read, he is a specialist LG.

My partial answer is the market and the marketplace. Last years draft had a quantity of quarterbacks and teams wanting them - 5 picks in round 1. Browns, Jets, Bills, Cardinals as known suitors. This year quarterback needs were somewhat solved before the draft, e.g. Foles to Jaguars, Flacco to Denver. This years crop was much weaker and with limited demand. Imagine Murray did not declare, only 2 quarterbacks would have been taken in round 1. With Jones arguably not having a round one grade but on the plus side he did have the Cunliffe (Manning) connection. Tyree did work out with Jordan Palmer but it didn't boost him enough to be drafted. Let us hope that him not being drafted can benefit him and the Bills. Maybe some gimmick plays with Tyree and Josh on the field together.

Tyree Jackson and David Sills V are very good UDFA signings. Both should have been drafted, Sills V had college production and Jackson rare measurements and arm strength. Glad they decided to sign with Buffalo.

Jalen Jenks is still available - Defensive End Mitch Hyatt OT Tyree Jackson QB Benschawel OG Not bad choices for round 7!

Maybe unpopular, but I want a kicker and a fullback. DiMarco and Hauschka to have competition. Alec ingold - Wisconsin Cole Tracy - LSU Looks like Buffalo will not pick a WR.

Sorry, double post!

McDermott has locked Beane in the lavatory or something! If David Sills or Anthony Johnson make it to round 7, I cross my fingers.

No issue in picking Cody Ford, was surprised he wasn't a day 1 selection. Happy. I would have preferred a DE in round 3 - any of the players picked in that round - Winovich, Ferguson or Ximines. I thought that Sternberger and Winovich were round 2 picks and a bit disappointed that an RB was the choice in round 3. In fact I would have preferred any of the 5 picks immediately after Singletary at 73 - Sternberger - McLaurin - Winovich - Dieter - Long Preferred Foster Moreau to Knox but going to root for Singletary and Knox in any case. Expecting day 3 to feature more defense - Maxx Crosby, Blake Cashman, Hemp Cheevers, Vosean Joseph are prospects the Bills have met. Would be great if we can trade 147 and 181 for 124 (Seattle) and get a Kelvin Harmon or Hakeem Butler if available.
