The runningback depth is so good in this draft, I wasn’t going to rush one. Too much value at other positions. Also, our WR core has been in shambles for years.

The Cleveland Browns select Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa St. This has been a very lucky draft for us so long. First, Ward falls into our lap, and now Higgins falls to the 2nd round, who was our third ranked WR. Higgins has the size, speed, and production we believe will translate to the NFL and gives Ward time to build chemistry early. The Eagles @Mike in Horseheads are on the clock.

Grant is the pick. Thank you all

The Buffalo Bills select Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan. The Kansas City Chiefs @NewEra are on the clock.

This would be exactly how it goes

Brought the poll down to four. I left Revel Jr on since he was a later ad. I'm setting the poll to end at 2p EST.

I get that. I just don’t why they would delay so long. Just to strip it for parts to sell?

I’m going to update the poll soon. If it doesn’t get closer, I will call it early

Revel Jr has been added. He was graded mid 2nd round on ESPN and CBS, most likely due to injury, which is why I did not have him on the poll. Thomas and Morrison were rated higher. Amos was rated the same as Revel, but he's not being added since we drafted him last time. Feel free to adjust your votes if you want

fixed it

Poll is up: This was a harder poll to make, as there weren't as many reached before us. There's a steep drop off in the ratings for a lot of positions.

The Bills are up at pick #30 in the TSW 2.0 Mock draft. Please check the link below to see the players that have already been selected. Please also note that DB Trey Amos is not available in this poll, as we was already selected at #30 in our TSW 1.0 mock. We've played out the scenario, so it's not an option again. I've also included the option for two trade back scenarios, based upon trade offers we've already received. As we obtain more votes, the selection process will be reduced incrementally. The poll will be closed at 7p EST.

Oh how I hated that movie. 3 years of 2nd round picks to trade into the top 10 completely ruined that movie for me.

Can you please DM this to me?

Amos won’t be listed on the poll, even if he is available. We don’t list players we’ve drafted in prior mocks. We’ve already established him as a player we’d want. I feel like Grant or trade back will be the poll winners.

The Commanders @HappyDays are on the clock

I don’t disagree with any of what you said. But since we do three of these, part of the idea is to see how things could play out. So I think one trade up would be a decent exercise. And if we hate it after the fact, then we can live out that scenario. We will now have two scenarios where the Bills stay put. I don’t see a need for 3. And we’ve done at least one trade in all the prior mock drafts, for the same reason. The Baltimore Ravens select Malaki Starks, S, Georgia. GM - The board fell beautifully for us and we had some tough choices to make. We wanted to reinforce our offensive line, but it's tough to argue the success we had running the ball last year. Starks provides us a top tier piece to line up beside Hamilton, and our Safety duo is set for years to come. The Lions @K-No are on the clock

The Minnesota Vikings select Maxwell Hairston, DB, Kentuck GM - Minnesota's aggressive defensive scheme puts a lot on the cornerbacks at times. They must be comfortable triggering and attacking spots as pressure comes, and Hairston just so happens to have one of the quickest transitions in the class and offers great ball skills. Also, the Seattle Seahhawks (as DM'd by GunnerBill) select Nick Emmanwori, Safety, South Carolina GM - This pick comes down to the Seattle Head Coach being Mike Macdonald whose defenses in Baltimore took full advantage of the speed, athleticism and playmaking ability of Kyle Hamilton at all three levels of the defense. Emmanwori is a an almost identical size and is a more explosive athlete. While he doesn't have the fluidity or nuance that Hamilton had coming out he can be used in that same role and will be a major upgrade to a moribund safety room with the Seahawks. It is no surprise that they interviewed him at the Combine and have had him in for a top 30 visit. The Rams are on the clock @Big Blitz

If a major player fell, I would have made a new poll. But no one did. if the poll was more yes, I would have a proactively traded up and made a poll based on who was available. 3.0 will most likely have a Bills trade up. Just so we have one draft that shows the scenario.

Hold up, 2027? Why are they leaving it up for a full season while the new stadium is being used? Don't they need the parking? Why would they not tear it down immediately after this season? Is it insurance in case the new stadium isn't ready?

Sanders went #10 He has until 8pm EST. Yes, if you want to message me your two pick options, I'll make the pick for you if it's later.

I just noticed. He has 3 hours from the last pick. Hopefully he makes it. If not, this is why we had the tenure/activity requirement. Agreed, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone left moving up for. Personally, I think more QBs and WRs will go than we took, and more players will fall.

Trade incoming and already approved. May take me a min to update the main page.

The Bills have an offer to trade up to #20. The poll indicates wanting to stay at 30. To me, the players we would have wanted to trade up for are gone, and everyone left is in the same tier, so 30 will get us someone. Figured I'd at least put it out there. @LEBills Don't wait responses to make your pick. Proceed currently as if the Bills aren't interested.

If these first two mock drafts have taught us anything. It’s that the Bills would need to get to around 15 for most of the players people want.
