Based on how the board is looking now, I would respectfully disagree. We are still in line to get one of the two receivers we spent a lot of time with, and acquired a 3rd round pick.

Fixed. Thank you

No one is ahead of the USA! 😜

I think teams knowing the Bills need a WR might make the Bills need to be erratic and trade up just to catch people off guard. Right now, the Bills have a bright neon sign over them that screams "drafting a receiver" When reviewing tape, I look at how a player separates off the line and how they catch the ball with their hands. I also only really watch highlights against ranked team. In college, getting open or catching a deep ball means nothing to me. That receiver could be playing against a nobody.

@Alphadawg7Not to rush you, and if you have a trade you're working, no worries. Just try to remember that Gunner is picking after you and 5 hours behind us.

When I watch Franklin's tape out of Oregon, it just screams non-attitude Diggs. Dude it all over the field, running every route, and catches with his hands. I know he had some drops issues in 2023, but this kid can really be something in my opinion. With the Bills spending so much time with him, I think he's their guy.

I'm curious. Were you considering WR?

That's what I'm thinking too. I think the GM's talk on some level and Beane knows the big 3 won't make it to 9, and we don't have the ammo to go up higher. I also think Beane believes in our spread it out offensive philosophy, and that these Tier 2 receivers might be just as good for us and allow us to retain picks

Wow, 30 whole minutes have passed and @section122hasn't made a pick yet. I guess he doesn't care about this 😈

For those that want us to trade up for one of the big 3 receivers, do you think the Bills would do that if they hadn't met with them prior?

***Trade Alert*** The Carolina Panthers are sending picks #33, #141, and #142 to the Detroit Lions for pick #29. With the 29th pick in the TSW 2.0 Mock Draft, the Carolina Panthers select AD Mitchell, WR, Texas. The Panthers came into this draft with some veteran receivers, but also need to think about the future. Mitchell falling this far in the draft, and the option of a 5th year, made this trade a no brainer. The Panthers also could see the next 3 picks being receiver, so we wanted to jump up and get our guy. Adonai Mitchell is a tall, long, and highly athletic wide receiver prospect. He has good size for an outside receiver at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds with great athletic traits. Mitchell has the speed to stretch the defense vertically or pick up chunk yardage in run-after-catch situations. He also has the ability to sink his hips and change directions suddenly, allowing him to move like a much smaller receiver. Mitchell flashes the ability to release efficiently off of the line of scrimmage against man coverage. Likewise, he shows some understanding of how to manipulate his route stem to create space for himself at the catch points. He’ll use a quick jab step to create space or hesitation in the cornerback, or bend his route toward the middle of the field before breaking toward the sideline on deeper out routes. He also flashes impressive ball skills down the field. Mitchell does a good job of locating and tracking the ball in the air, making solid adjustments to help ease the difficulty of the catch. Likewise, he flashes the ability to be a true “hands” catcher who extends to maximize his catch radius and grabs the ball away from his frame. Mitchell also understands how to use “late” hands, not extending until the last possible instant to prevent defensive backs who haven’t located the ball from making a play. Mitchell is also a willing blocker for his teammates. He was used as a blocker on the perimeter for off-tackle runs, wide receiver sweeps, and screens. He was also used tight to the offensive line in short-yardage situations. He has enough strength to effectively block most cornerbacks and smaller safeties, as well as the toughness to work to sustain his blocks for as long as possible. The Baltimore Ravens @section122 are on the clock

Now I hope we have time for 3 rounds. I would love to see the Bills trade back up again in the 2nd, or back and get more 3rd round picks.

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

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
