    Lol go buds go !!! Three finals appearances in a row is enough for Tampa.
     I wouldn’t be surprised or upset if Campbell is the pick

     

    I have a confession to make.  I live north of Toronto.

    Go Leafs! (but I'm just a bandwagon playoff Leafs fan....).  

    DIE HARD Bills fan though!

    TSW Mock Draft 3.0 Poll - Who should the Bills take at #27

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Okay, so I didn't vote for the trade option because I thought is was a bit too "pie in the sky"....... and random.

     

    BUT

     

    I'm trying to find out if the Cardinals would even be interested in Oliver, if they need a DT.

    I found this:  https://cardswire.usatoday.com/2019/03/29/ed-oliver-private-visit-az-arizona-cardinals/

    So, I think that there would be mutual interest between the Bills and Cardinals for moving Olver in a trade.  Expect a high pick on DT since most of our DL is in a contract year.....  Moving Oliver helps with that just a bit.

     

    I'm trying to find out if the Cardinals have a DL draft need.

    I found this (I'll take this information for what it's worth):  https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/cardinals-draft-needs-team-nfl-2023/

    So, yes, the Cards could use an upgrade at DT.

     

    Do the Bills want to swap contracts?  How would that look?

    I found this:  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/deandre-hopkins-12307/.  About $19.5 Mill

    And this:  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/ed-oliver-29044/.  About $10.7 Mill

    And this:  https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/buffalo-bills

    I'm not much of a cap expert but we're dealing with an increase in $$ of $9 Million.....

    Someone else let me know if this works......

     

    Do the Bills want to trade down?

    Yes.  Beane has eluded to that even.....

     

    Is Pick 34 a good spot?

    Yes.  I think that Jack Campbell might be there, as well as a few OT options that I think will slide.

     

    Consider my vote changed to the Hopkins trade.

    Your one, and only one, draft hot take?

    You missed Jack Campbell :devil:

    I don't consider him a "top ranked" first rounder!  ;)

     

     

    Hot take #2. 

    We draft Flowers and then he's WR 4 (and does nothing....) underneath a contract-year-motivated Gabe Davis, and Shakir who becomes a pro-bowl caliber slot WR after his training wheels rookie year.  (I'm just poking fun here......)

    ONE of these top ranked players will slip to the bottom of round two or even to round 3.  It seems to happen every year.  Some round 1 talent takes an unexpected tumble.  Last year for example, Utah Linebacker Nakobe Dean who was graded on most sources as a 1st round prospect, tumbled to the third round.  I could see the same thing for SOMEONE on the list below.  I've bolded a few that could have a higher chance of slipping...

     

    Christian Gonzalez CB OREGON

    Nolan Smith ED GEORGIA

    Calijah Kancey DI PITTSBURGH

    Brian Branch S ALABAMA

    Paris Johnson Jr. T OHIO STATE

    Myles Murphy ED CLEMSON

    Deonte Banks CB MARYLAND

    Michael Mayer TE NOTRE DAME

    Broderick Jones T GEORGIA

    Jordan Addison WR USC

    Anton Harrison T OKLAHOMA

    Emmanuel Forbes CB MISS STATE

    Lukas Van Ness ED IOWA

    Tyree Wilson ED TEXAS TECH

    Will McDonald IV ED IOWA STATE

    O'Cyrus Torrence G FLORIDA

    Dawand Jones T OHIO STATE

    Watching game 5 Leafs Lightning.. will have the draft live on my DAZN phone app

    Another Leafs fan?

    I'll be right here with many of you! (kids are going to bet a bit early....)

     

    I've got DAZN and will be at home enjoying the show (crossing off players from the "big board").  At pick 26, I'll likely be annoying everyone (including my wife) chanting.

    Starting to see him mocked a bit higher, somebody had the Giants drafting Campbell at 25. So maybe he slips in. The lack of reported visits is one of those things should raise eyebrows.. Someone is interested in him, probably taking him in the first, and doing everything they can to hide their interest. 

    I think he's the full package.  You don't see that often.  His THINKING ability is amazing.  He reads the play faster than any rookie I've seen recently, and is the ideal MLB.  Great in coverage.  Plus he can hit!

     

    Yeah, there's interest out there......  for sure.

    Seumalo is 29 and coming off a terrific season.

     

    Fluker is 32 and coming off a season where he completely disappeared, and one before that where he was cut from I believe three practice squads. That's two years off (not three as several said above). 

     

    Wouldn't mind taking a flier on him at vet min. Anything beyond that, though, and no thanks.

     

     

    Yep.  I agree.  I think something close to a vet min, but incentive based.  It would become more if he plays a full season, and starts all games.

    It's going to be Zay Flowers so let's just move along.

     

    You know, I've been ragging on the smaller WR prospects saying that we need a big and physical target to add to the team.  I still think that Johnston would be our best fit, but you can't deny Addison's and Flowers' talent.

     

    Not sure who I will pick this time....

     

    Actually I do.

     

    JACK CAMPBELL!  lol..

    The type of fan/consumer who calls a person they never met a "POS" is one who ought to re-evaluate their own world view.

     

     

     

    He's clearly a POS teammate.  I'm sure he's a great son, father, and husband.  Don't get all deep on this.  

     

    You never throw teammates under the bus.  Never.  He worked shoulder to shoulder with Davis, Shakir, Mackenzie, Crowder, and Diggs.....  Everyone woking their tails off day in and day out.  

     

    This guy.....  Sorry but agree to disagree....

    I can't stop thinking about the amazing transformation of DJ Fluker at the Alabama pro day.  AMAZING.  Regardless if you like the guy or not as a prospect, you have to give him credit for his determination and absolute success to a CRAZY level for what he was able to accomplish as a player and as a person.  I'm going to outline why I think the Bills should take a serious look, and even SURPRISE the league (especially us fans) but signing him on an incentive-based contract.  Start him at RT or slide him to RG, let that man compete.  I personally envision him as a mauling RG, more than a RT.  Some might say he's not built for it.  I'll show some comparisons below to help dispel those UNDERSTANDABLE (if kneejerk.....) reaction.  :)

     

    Here's a clip of that transformation (in case you missed it) (more below)

     

     

     

    As a starting point, I think that a good place to look, is at Isaac Seumalo, the ex-Eagle who was by all accounts the most coveted OG on the FA market this offseason.  Here are his measurables.

     

    Seumalo

    Height: 6'4''

    Weight: 305 pounds

    Arm Length: 33''

    Hand Size: 10''

     

    Fluker (compared to Seumalo)

    Measurables

    Height: 6'5'' (+1 inch)

    Weight: 330 pounds (+15 lbs)

    Arm Length: 36 1/4'' (+3 1/4")

    Hand Size: 10.5'' (+0.5")

     

    I understand there's the whole leverage thing, but leverage is mainly created by pad level, and we're talking about ONE inch...   Yes the arm length is 3 inches longer, but the man is a steam roller.  Very strong, so I think if he locks on?  YOU.       ARE.     TOAST.

     

    I'm just going to put my hand up high and say "Hey Beane!  Look over here!"
