The poll is now closed. The Bills trade #28 and #60 to the Packers for #41, #58, #88, and #169 We are literally going off the trade value chart, to be fair and consistent with all trades. To me, there's players the Bills could take at 28 that will most likely be there in the trade back. Yes, we lose that 5th year option, but we get a better position in round 2 and a 3rd rounder. With that trade, we can still get Franklin (whom the Bills have spent a lot of time with), and are in position to trade back up, or sit still and still get a starting S and DE/DT/OG (whichever you prefer). If they can't trade up to get one of the big 3, I think this is a healthy plan B. And don't forget, AD Mitchell would have been the pick. This is just scenario 2

***Trade Alert*** The Bills trade #28 and #60 to the Packers for #41, #58, #88, and #169 The Packers @MrEpsYtown are on the clock

Wasn't attendance for that game poor because of the weather? It ended up being okay for the game, but people didn't buy tickets prior because it was in the middle of a blizzard. I could be mis-remembering though

The Bills would only be short by 20 points in trade value. I did request another late round pick to balance it out.

If we somehow got Mitchell and Franklin, I would lose my mind with happiness.

He was selected in Mock 1.0, so he's not an option to select him again. We know he would be our choice, so this is Plan B

We have one trade back offer with the Packers: Green Bay would do 41 (490) and 58 (320) and 88 (150) for 28 (660) 60 (320) You good with closing the poll at 3p est? I think we have enough information

Every year, I stick to the rule that we can't draft the same person twice. As of right now, we know that Mitchell is who we would take. Now we are seeing what plan B would become. I've also decided we are going to end up in an Elam/Benford situation. We will draft a WR high, but our 6th round receiver will end up being the man

I agree that we may not be as good as last offseason, but I also think most teams took a step back and the playing field will be level. What's tough for me is there's not a lot of good value between picks 20-60. So you are either going to reach, or lose to teams who reached.

The Bills trading back is the #2 vote getter and it's getting close. If anyone has trade offers to the Bills, please PM to me directly.

@section122 I forgot to mention, we can’t draft the same player twice. Can you please remove AD Mitchell? We already know that’s the preferred pick, so this is meant to be what our second option would be. My apologies for not mentioning that sooner This is why I think the Bills like Franklin from Oregon. His tape looks fairly similar to Diggs IMO The players Carolina wanted are gone. We tried to trade up, but were denied. At this point, we’d have only cared to get a 5th year option on a QB, but they are all gone too

Main page is updated. Bills poll will be up shortly

@BigdaddyinOrlando You have until 8:30p est boss

I plan to make that an option when the Bills hit the clock, because the poll takes more than 8 hours. That will give people plenty of time to make their poll selections, while I also garner trade interest. Then, once the poll is done, I can work through the trade offers

Not a bad idea. Depending on how we are progressing in the draft, we can maybe try that. Or, make the poll with one of the options be a trade back. If we don't a trade back, then we just select the player who got the most votes

I haven’t done that in the past because it’s too ambiguous. We talk about trading up for a certain player, but trading back would be for what exactly? I know the answer and why we would, but I don’t know how to apply that to a mock. Yes, we could agree to trade back, but to where. Do we make a poll for every offer. I feel it would slow things down too much and wouldn’t have a solid direction to it. Long story short, yes, I’ve considered it and thought it through 😋

@NeverOutNick on the clock until 3p est

As posted about, Verse was already selected. Also, when you make your pick, please make sure you post the next person up to draft

You're good to proceed. I just wanted to make sure everyone was on board and someone knew about it. Unfortunately, I've had issues in prior drafts where someone had two trades working at once, and both partners thought they were up to trade. That's where the trade approval process came into play The Eagles have pick #22, not #21. I fixed it for the main page. The values were correct. @Logic is on the clock

Who approved the trade? It looks fine to me, but @Logic did you sign off on this? As a reminder, all trades need to be approved first in a PM with myself, Alphadawg7, and both GM's involved in the trade

Main page is updated. Sorry for the delay, I just needed a moment away from a screen

@Big Blitzyou’re good to make your pick. I’ll update the main page in a bit

How would this differ from throwback uniform week when they wear the standing Buffalo helmet? I’ve never understood that part

Oh my lord, could it finally happen……?!

While there is debate over what future picks are worth, my math shows that, to get to 6, the Bills would have needed to trade: 2024 - Picks 1, 2, 4, and 4 2025 - Pick 1, 2, and 2 I just don't see that happening in any scenario and I haven't seen anyone in polls or messages that would have been okay with that. Now, at number 9, where the value is 300 less, maybe.....
