    Mock draft simulators.

    Question about the mocks (and the real draft coming up).

     

    Have the Bills ever had so many picks??

     

    How many could ACTUALLY make the 53?  I'm expecting MANY trade ups with this wealth of draft capital.

     

    Looking to see more TRADE UP MOCKS here.  Thanks!

    Is drafting Diggs replacement a priority in this draft?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by Yantha

    I'd put drafting Diggs' replacement at a top 4 priority.

     

    1.  Draft Diggs' replacement

    2.  Add S youth to offset Poyer/Hyde

    3.  Add an Edge rusher to offset Von Miller's decline and lack of pass rush.

    4.  Add OC to account for the loss of Mitch Morse

     

    By the end of round 4, all of these positions would be addressed in a perfect world in my opinion.

     

    I'd say we need DT but should be able to pick a few in round 5+.

     

    But again, it depends on BPA..... and you never know how the board falls.  I like WRs right through round 5, so WR in round 1 isn't an absolute MUST in my opinion.

    Everyone is free to have fun with mock drafts, but if one posts them on a public message board, presumably one is inviting comment. As I strongly disagreed with your particular draft, I felt sufficient umbrage to comment. Naturally, it's all just opinion. Mine is that in a strong WR draft, you made a complete botch of it, and I would not use a second round pick on LB. I don't know why you are down on Bernard. However, if I was going to pick a second round LB, it would be Payton Wilson or no one.

     

    Fortunately, from my perspective, there's virtually no chance the draft will play out anywhere close to the scenario you have painted.

     

    Can I have your crystal ball please?

     

    Joking....  Thanks for your comments.  All in good fun.

    You felt compelled to pass on WR in the first, then took a LB in the second, and chose Wilson as your top WR? (He's a bust waiting to happen.) You take 2 LBs? Sorry, you're fired.

     

    No I did this draft assuming our top WRs came off the board.  I didn't like the WRs that fell in that draft during round 2 and went with a value pick at a position I think we need.  I'm not excited about Terrel Bernard as a long term guy.  The second linebacker was way down the line as a late rounder for depth/special teams.

     

    Not a fan of "bust waiting to happen" statements.  The same can be said for every single player in the draft.  We just don't know.

    This is a mock where in an imperfect world (such as it is), Addonai Mitchell and the usual WRs we want are off the board.  And no trade up possibility....

     

    28

    Byron Murphy

    DL | Texas

    Young stability on a DL that needs a boost in production.  Collapse the pocket, stop the run.

     

    60

    Junior Colson

    LB | Michigan

    Cover linebacker that can take TE's out of the game.  

     

    128

    Johnny Wilson

    WR | Florida State

    Some like him, some don't but I'm in the "like" column.  I like our offseason FA additions and see an improvement in our WR room already.  Wilson could be better than advertised, and is a CLEAR target for the red zone at his height.  Put it up there...

     

    133

    Caelen Carson

    CB | Wake Forest

    Wished I had a good safety pick by now, but Carson is excellent value here, and could see the field.

     

    144

    Roger Rosengarten

    OT | Washington

    Another value pick, solid player.

     

    160

    Dadrion Taylor-Demerson

    S | Texas Tech

    Surprised to see Taylor-D here so it was a no brainer for me.  He adds depth with upside at safety.  Starting potential with time.

     

    163

    Ray Davis

    RB | Kentucky

    5'10", 216lbs.  Love his "pop".  Nice replacement for the older guys we used to have in that role.

     

    189

    Ainias Smith

    WR | Texas A&M

    Tweener, gadgety kind of player that is a bit of a RB/WR prospect.  Interesting player.  I'll have to look into his KR/PR ability.

     

    200

    Ty'Ron Hopper

    LB | Missouri

    Excellent prospect on a solid team.  Love what he brought to Missouri.  Should be immediate impactful player on special teams, should he make the roster (or land on PS I guess...  They can't ALL land on the 53.  TOO MANY PICKS!)

     

    204

    Layden Robinson

    IOL | Texas A&M

    There will be some competition at OC.  Robinson can try.

     

    248

    Braiden McGregor

    EDGE | Michigan

    Michigan pass rusher.... I mean at 248, why not give it a shot and develop this guy.  We NEED some youth at EDGE.

    Jeremiah has us taking a DT at 28 in his latest mock

    I'm good with DT round 1 (if it were Byron Murphy) considering the depth at WR in this draft. 

     

    Unless we move UP in round one, I see us having best value and most options at WR anyway, so it's fairly likely that WR is the pick...

     

    Maybe S Tyler Nubin

     

    And I'm looking at SEVERAL OPTIONS in the second round for WR
