    NIL deals keeping more players in college now and diluting the draft talent pool?

    At worst, it would only be hurting the talent pool for one year.  Say, for example, all the eligible Jr.'s stay in school this year.  That would hurt the talent pool this year, but next year they would all be coming out,  PLUS they would have one more year of experience.  There would be fewer one year wonders to tempt GMs and then crash and burn.  Seems that long term it would really help the talent pool....now, as for the quality of their poo, I really couldn't say.

    Right... all this does is push some guys back a little, then we will have the same number coming out every year very shortly. Nothing really to see here

    We have a lot of late picks that are not worth much in trade.  We only have 3 picks in top 100.  IF they have more than Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, Eli Ankou and Kingsley Jonathan under contract at DL before the draft, OK trade away 99 if they must, but I think more likely they trade back from 28 and trade up in maybe 4th or 5th round.  They need young, cheap, players who can play some snaps early.  It’s the cap that is driving that.

    Makes sense... but I also like a lot of DLine in this draft even in later rounds

    Most notable of these collected mocks:


    February 22: The Athletic, The Athletic NFL Staff

    TRADE No. 28, No. 99, No. 192 to MIAMI for No. 21 – WR Brian Thomas Jr., LSU

    With Gabe Davis set to hit free agency and the Bills already lacking explosiveness, adding a young, home-run threat with tantalizing potential is top of mind this offseason. Thomas possesses everything the Bills would be after: speed, deep threat, size, leaping ability and a high ceiling to become one of the best in his class. He could quickly take over the X-receiver role Davis vacates and would complement Stefon Diggs nicely. For ever-aggressive Bills GM Brandon Beane, giving up a late third-round pick and a sixth-round pick to move up for Thomas is an easy decision. —Joe Buscaglia

    We have so many picks, I would be ok with trading up to early 20s to grab him. I think there is a noticeable drop-off after him.

    I am puzzled by the lack of hype for Legette.  I think the concerns with him are: 1 year production, a bit older than other prospects, long speed but not instant acceleration and he doesn’t look like a “smooth” mover like say Troy Franklin.  But man, he looks pretty fast, is built VERY strong and seems to catch pretty well with his hands.  If they could be sure he would be available at 60, I would say take a DL in round 1 and him in round 2.

     

    We will see how he (and others) test this week, but my guess is 4.5ish 40, pretty good jumps and just OK short area quickness and agility.

    Unless the Bills manage to sign a decent DT and DE in FA, I don’t think they will take a 2nd receiver until late because the DL and S are in limbo right now.

    From my Youtube scouting, I wouldn't be upset getting him in the second

    I admittedly have not watched him at all, but one thing that feels extremely alarming to me is that even playing at a low competition level, his target rate is extremely low. Feels weird that someone that wasn't even getting targets amongst relatively lackluster peers would be expected to take off in the NFL.

    I can agree with this, but there may also be coaching issues, offensive designs, play calls, coverages, sub-par QB play. Being from a smaller school, he may not have been used properly. He did stand out at the Hula Bowl and Shrine Bowl practices daily.

    St. George is amazing. We absolutely love it here.  Gorgeous, safe and this city understands growth….. unlike Vegas, which is a mess, has shootings everywhere and seems to be the current landing spot for 50% of the California transplants.  
     

    I am missing th food options in Vegas, but it’s only a 2 hour drive, so I head back to my bills bar for every bills game

    Agreed on this... I still live in Vegas, but we head to Utah all the time to get away

    I'm just glad that the 2023 season is over, so that we can all watch big and fast men run and jump in their underwear, and can resume passionately advocating for and against drafting players we've only seen a two minute YouTube highlight clip of.

    I go the extra distance and watch some 8 minute highlight videos also
