How's that 2025 draft look'in?
Okay I'm officially bored and need the real draft already.
-
Keep an eye on the BEARS.
Correct me if I'm wrong but they have the FEWEST picks in the draft and have two first rounders. I could see the Bears trade out of #9.
Interestingly I just mocked the Bears and a trade offer was offered to me from.... THE BILLS.
The offer was:
Bills get: #9
Bears get: #28, #60, #204 AND both 2025 2nd rounders.....
I accepted and the Bills autodraft was:
#6: WR Rome Odunze, Washington
#128: WR Malik Washington, Virginia
#133: DT McKinnley Jackson, Texas A&M
#144: RB Jaylen Wright, Tennessee
#160: WR Jalen Coker, Holy Cross (yes a third wideout....)
#162: S Kitan Oladpo, Oregon State
#200: DT Fabien Lovett, Florida State
#248: WR Ryan Flournoy, Missouri State (......aaaaand a forth wideout)...
So.. save for the excessive WR picks, how would you feel about dropping THREE picks this year plus both 2nd rounders next year to land ROME ODUNZE at #9?

GREEDY MOCK
I only traded our extra 2nd 2025 rounder to make some moves. Most trade ups involved packaging THIS year's picks.
In the end we walk away with SIX picks.
Found SPEIGHTS today..... looks like a steal. Check him out!

Welcome aboard
I’ve long been on the McConkey train, he’s WR5 on my board. I would absolutely be good taking him at 28 or on a trade back.
IMHO he has the highest floor outside the big 3 in the draft (followed by Polk in terms of high floor) and a safe bet to be a significant contributor year 1 IMHO.
I have never seen someone spew assets away the way you do. This trade should and probably would get Beane fired.Whomever has the best hands and RAC when we pick is the player I hope we land. Too much to ask for speed as well?

Let’s bug the kc draft war room. Take all the players they are high on just to pss them off.
-
I think that when you have Allen at QB then yes, you are a contender.
KC has done more with less at WR, and there is no reason why the Bills can survive and thrive without Diggs.
We just need to get the work done this offseason, adding young talent, and a few cap casualty cast-offs.

Jared Verse fell to 28 in this mock, which would be crazy..... Then the BPAs in round 2 and 4a were both defensive players. Kinchens is a player I have my eye on due to his connections to the Bills' coaching staff. I'm not sure if heads would explode if we didn't get a WR in rounds one or two, but I do believe that Javon Baker would be a second rounder in most drafts.
I ALSO expect a HUGE year from Shakir this season. Not enough to "replace" Diggs (I mean... c'mon...), but he will be a key factor. Loved our FA WR pickups as well so I'm not "scared" if we didn't get a top 5 WR prospect in this draft. I'd PREFER it, but if the draft fell like this one, I'd be pretty psyched.
I'd say our PASS RUSH is a GREATER need than WR right now. Von Miller is washed up and can't be relied on. We need a new body, and if Verse was there at 28, that's an absolute no brainer. Sweat fell to 128 due to a boneheaded decision, and I'm happy if he's there in the 4th. I added competition on the interior OL, and picked three safeties to compete. Carlies I think would be SS bound, while Kinchens would compete with Rapp and/or come in for nickel/dime packages, depending on matchups.
EIchenberg is my MLB sleeper pick, from a good program.

I'll buy the 25% but only if I can personally make 25% of all draft picks! lol

Haven't done one in a while... I think though, that we will walk away from this draft with only SEVEN picks, so it's tough to do mocks. Expect 2-3 TRADE UPS if we can find trade partners. This team is good enough to not have space for so many rookies on the 53 man roster. FOUR or FIVE could make it, with the rest rolling to the PS. We will without question have a pick in the third round, for example.

1 rd. Trade the this 28th and our 2025 2nd to Jax for their 17th and draft Brian Thomas Jr. LSU WR. No surprise here.
2 rd. 60th Jermaine Burton Alabama WR. Numbers don’t jump out because of bad quarterback play. 6 feet 196 pounds with 4.45 forty speed. 38 inch vertical 11 foot broad jump. Excellent downfield receiver. Particularly on the sidelines.
4 rd. 128th Braelon Allen Wisconsin RB. 6 foot and 1 inch and 235 pounds of muscle. Bruising back who would be a very good compliment to James Cook. Also ran a 4.40 forty at the combine typical workhorse Wisconsin running back style.
4 rd. 132nd Tykee Smith university of Georgia safety. Doesn’t have ideal height at 5 foot 10 but has a solid built weighing in at 206 pounds. Ran a 4.46 forty at the combine. Recorded for an interceptions and a senior year at Georgia.
The rest of the draft picks might be used for trade ups or just best player available at this point. I thought about using the second round from this year, the third round from next year and the fourth round for this year to trade up to the end of the first for Troy Franklin, but thought against it.
Good draft. I’d use the rest of the draft to try to find a pass rusher, OC, and DT. Maybe a linebacker but his group is weak.

Emmanuel Acho (I think) on "Speak!" alluded to every team having 3 or so "freakazoids", freakishly talented players who could ruin your day at any time during the game.
Who are the Bills "freakazoids" on offense, defense, and ST?
Offense:
Josh Allen, no question
I think James Cook has freakazoid potential, but to date, not fully realized - too many drops in the passing game, some amazing runs and some stuffs.
I think Dalton Kincaid could grow into a freakazoid but not there yet
Really, that's it. Dion Dawkins is a freakishly athletic "big guy" who does a good job, but it's hard for me to call him a "freakazoid".
Defense:
Matt Milano
would we give this to Ed Oliver, the last season and a half? He's been claiming more and more snaps, and had 9.5 sacks last year - which isn't Justin Madubuike, I think is 4th for DT and is one fewer than Nick Bosa or Chris Jones?
what about Terrel Bernard? he was 12th for combined tackles in the league last year - not Roquan Smith, but he's getting up there.
ST:
I got no one. They're all gone, and Bass-o-matic seemed to have the "yips".
If an NFL team has more than 3 freakazoids, that's a good team.
I say we have ONE, but my definition of freakazoid is a first ballot HOFer.

In today's mock, I traded down and up and maintained 1 pick in each round of the 2025 draft (i.e. I didn't sell the farm....).
I'm all in on Sweat if teams let him slip for one stupid mistake. Remember Laremy Tunsil? Well he's been one of the better Tackles in the NFL for many years now.... Snap Sweat up if he's there at a great value. I got him at 51. Note the SPEED I added at WR to stretch the field with Worthy, and McCaffrey.
Added some linemen to compete, some depth at EDGE, a pounding short yardage back, and of course, COOPER DEJEAN who could be a starting safety right out of the gate.

Last one for the day.
Used the 2025 2nd rounder draft capital to "spend" and get the players I wanted. Had a lucky trade down to 29 as well....

Did an analysis of the Chiefs' stats...
We can beat them with two main differences.
1. Run heavy on them (they have a strong passing D, and weak rush D)
2. Invest in a stellar passing D and pass rush....
Let's play Marty ball.... (Schottenheimer...).
Control the clock with a dominant run game and we have Allen's ability to strike deep when they stack the box..
Alternate reality draft:

My "don't panic at WR" draft. I'm honing in on Audric Estime as a short yardage pounder that we need, youth-wise. He's bigger back that would be a nice addition. I'm liking Worthy as a top option due to speed and ability to be that threat downfield. Allen has the arm.... It would open up our passing game more and I think would also open up swing passes and KINCAID, who I see as a candidate for a MASSIVE year.
If you're into fantasy.... get Kincaid. Bank on that one.

Haven't read all the posts but just replying to the title.
He gets a pass because he built a playoff team from nothing.
LP Losman anyone? How about Orton?
SINGLE digit win column from 2000-2018?
No playoffs?
Beane is a very good GM.

Lost in the Diggs news of this week is how wrong the Buffalo media have been about Diggs over the past year:
- WGR hosts routinely dismissed callers who raised Diggs' behavior as an issue
- Team beat reporters took pride in pushing back on the national narrative that Diggs was an issue and could be traded. They would boast about how they're local, on the ground and more tuned into the team. They'd highlight the cap hit and claim that anyone from the national media who suggested a Diggs trade didn't understand the cap implications. They loved going on national shows to tell everyone how much they know about the team and how the national narrative about a Diggs issue was wrong and potential trade wasn't happening. Matt Bove even tweeted that Diggs wasn't getting traded literally less than 10 minutes before the trade was reported
- Tim Graham (who I previously thought was one of the few good ones) is now reporting how Allen snapped at Diggs after the Week 1 loss to the Jets. It's such a disservice and somewhat disingenuous to withhold information like this until he's gone. It highlights how many of these folks care far more about maintaining relationships/access to the players than holistically reporting what's going on with the team - especially a week 1 incident involving a player who was the talk of the offseason
It's unfortunate we don't have media members covering the team who we can trust. I can only wonder what will continue to come out about the Diggs situation, or what would come out about McDermott re: 13 seconds if he gets fired.
"Thirty-one million dead money, a second-rounder next year, and it's a team they're in big-time competition with? That tells you how much they were done with him," Simms said.
PERSONALLY, I've always thought Diggs was a POS team mate. Great player, but a ridiculous, selfish, team mate. I can't stand that personality type.

WHEN HEALTHY, he is dominant.
Is he healthy??

Now as for draft prospects to replace Diggs....
Give me a few top 10 prospects who will BURN you on the field, but are TEAM FIRST attitude players.

I think he's not a "drama guy", so yes, relief that Diggs is out BUT he must feel some anxiety about the WR room right now.
Allen should be IN the draft war room rooting for offensive weapons.....

I vote no to top 8..... but top 15, sure.

THANK-YOU Diggs for the time you spent here.
....but best days are clearly in the rearview mirror and I'm so happy to get COMPENSATION for this move in the form of draft picks in a WR deep draft.
Younger, faster, stronger.
Let's GO.

I really like Williams. Listed as both a S and LB I feel like he’s a perfect fit for our defense. Could love him around anywhere. Maybe he’s not perfect at either but he’s a Swiss Army knife that can do both of needed. Keep him on the field in pass heavy downs as a S and run heavy downs as a LB. Can literally have in him on any down and move him all over.
He can man up with the Kelce's of the world and at his size, would be able to hold up well I think.

Also, the Bills Secondary Coach Jahmil Addae was James Williams' coach in Miami before he was hired by Buffalo. Inside track on information. It will be interesting to look at ALL Miami secondary draft prospects (i.e. Kinchens....)
