    Story of the draft is Nolan Smith sliding all the way to 36 😵.

     

    And also! 49ers Trade Aiyuk and pick #102 to Saints for Taysum Hill ☠️.

    Tampa Bay tried to trade up several times to get Nolan Smith.  Finally found a partner at 36.  BOOM.  lol....

    This might be the perfect WR class for the Bills to draft one in the mid rounds

    First of all, has anyone listened to Beane and McDermott talk about Gabe Davis? They freaking love the guy. 

     

    I don't think our efforts to add to WR this offseason have been/will be about replacing Gabe Davis so much as getting him back to what he does best. I think Davis is a good starting WR, just not great. But Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Miami are the exceptions, not the rule when it comes to 1-2 punches at WR. 

     

    What Josh Allen really thrives with is an Elite slot WR, as we learned with Beas.

     

    What's this draft full of?

     

    Potentially good to great slot WRs.

     

    I looked at Dane Brugler's "The Beast" over at The Athletic and the VAAAASSSST majority of the top 14 WRs are slot WRs.

     

    And all 14 of those are in his top 100

     

    And also, Brugler has 15 WRs in his top 100. From JSN to Jordan Addison to Zay Flowers to Josh Downs to A.T Perry to Tank Dell... this draft is STACKED with WRs who project to the slot.

     

    It really makes me think this might be a repeat of last year and 2020 when we knew WR was a need but we waited to draft one til the mid to late rounds.

     

    That said... I would friggin LOVE JSN on this team!

    I agree that there are some darn good, even potentially elite slot WRs in this class, but personally I think that Shakir is also in that category.  I'm still in the mindset that you go with linebacker or OL UNLESS by some chance an amazing talent slips to us at WR.

     

    In our TSW mock draft we selected Addison but then look what happened...  we went D-line??? with linebacker and OT still the biggest need.  I voted D-line too, but it was a "painted into a corner" pick.

     

    Nah I'd rather do a minor reach for linebacker in the first, and then have more freedom to pick WR in round two.  The GREAT thing is that to your original point this draft is fairly deep with WRs that could make an impact (including second and third round prospects).

    I don't have a dog in this fight but participating in the mock draft here, when the Bills have come up, there is alot of debate about who they should or should NOT take.

     

    Post your guys that you hope the Bills avoid at all costs....who would piss you off if the Bills call their name and why.

    1.  Any quarterback earlier than a round 6 flier.

    2.  Any pass rusher in the first 3 rounds.

    3.  Any cornerback in the first 3 rounds.

    4.  DT Bryan Bresee

    5.  WR Zay Flowers.  5'9".  I'm sorry but just no....

    There are others...

    Draft Sleepers 2023

    We do these sleeper things every year and then the thread ends up being about guys everyone has heard of or guys going in the first couple of rounds. Those are not sleeper picks. Mingo, Bryce Ford Wheaton etc. everyone has heard of those guys if you even remotely pay close attention to college football/combine. 

    Ben vansumeren.  Check my post above.

    Reposting this here.  It was buried in the Bernard thread but better here.  Thanks for posting.

     

     

    For all the discussion about "the top 3", and a few mentioning Noah Sewell, there is another linebacker that has grabbed my attention from a pretty darn good football program.

     

    Ben VanSumeren, Michigan State.

    This is a player that has flown curiously under the radar, battled some injuries LAST year, and is really starting to peak (in my opinion at the right time).  I see this guy as someone worthy of discussion and honestly, I think that he could come in and compete with Bernard and others on our current roster.

     

    He's 6'3, 240lbs and had a good showing for the scouts.

    4.40 40

    Benched 29X

    42.5" vertical

    10.11' Broad Jump

     

    Here's a nice article:  https://www.si.com/college/michiganstate/football/michigan-state-spartans-football-nfl-draft-pro-day-ben-vansumeren-kendall-brooks-msu-032123

     

    Here's an snippet:  "VanSumeren’s performance at Michigan State’s Pro Day showed his strength, athleticism and speed for all NFL scouts to see. In the evolving professional game, linebackers need to be quick to cover space and be able to run with running backs and tight ends in pass coverage. Was VanSumeren’s Pro Day success enough to get him drafted? Maybe late in Day 3 (Rounds 4-7), as game film is still the biggest factor for NFL franchises. "

     

    Projected WIDELY from rounds 4-7

    And he’s not a bad running back in Michigan before e transferred to State

    Linebackers:  Henley and Dorian Williams.  Both may not be a prototypical MLB, but we could use some good linebackers on the depth chart across the board.

    Safeties:  Anthony Johnson, Battle, Jammie Robinson, Sydney Brown

    In my "painful" opinion, the safeties might be the best fits...... for this round..... and good value.

    Offensive Tackle:  I'll PM you.... it's a secret.
