  1. I'm not too worried about the safety position because Poyer and Hyde were noticeably slower last year, yet we still had a top ranked defense.

     

    I think Rapp is the odd man out at safety. He showed very little in the way of coverage skills for us last season and I was surprised that he was re-signed. He'll still probably get some reps as a big nickel and in 3 safety looks.

     

    I'm more worried about our depth at outside cornerback considering our only option behind Benford and Douglas is Kaiir "Healthy Scratch" Elam

  2. This draft is absolutely loaded with wide receivers and I would consider trading away our 2025 2nd rounder we got from the Diggs Trade to get back into the 3rd round.

     

    My sleepers are:

    Javon Baker

    Ja’Lynn Polk

    Jamari Thrash

     

    They won't wow you with their measurables, but they get open and catch the ball.

     

  3. The Bills do need a dominant wide receiver after losing Diggs, but the weapons that we have left allow for some flexibility.

     

    We have bigger body receivers in Kincaid, Shorter and Hollins, Speed receivers in Samuel, Isabella, and Hamler, and a budding star slot receiver in Shakir.

     

    We need a talented receiver who can beat press coverage and get open downfield. 

     

    My hope is that Beane double dips and takes receivers with different skill sets to exploit matchups.

    Take one guy at #28 like Adonai Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, or Troy Franklin (I'm assuming Brian Thomas will be gone)

    Pick #60 can be used to address another need like DT or Safety

    Then, move up into the 3rd for a guy like Javon Baker, Malachi Corley, or Roman Wilson using the 2025 2nd rounder from the Diggs trade

    Safety?  I pray they don't take one with their 1st pick.

    I think the only safety with a 1st round grade is Tyler Nubin, but I'm confident we'll address wide receiver before safety.  Kamren Kinchens had a bad combine that will probably drop him to the 3rd. I would be happy with Javon Bullard in the 2nd, but I could see Beane taking a couple safety prospects later in the draft.

  5. Getting separation is the most important component of playing wide receiver. It's difficult to tell whether Keon Coleman will be N'Keal Harry or Drake London at the next level.

     

    Josh doesn't tend to throw a lot of 50-50 balls or fades, and only throws to a guy when they're in the open.

     

    A receiver like Troy Franklin at #28 or trading up for Brian Thomas could be electric with Josh throwing them the ball.

    Unlikely Thomas is there, and only possible Mitchell will be. McConkey and Franklin for sure are gone well before #60. 

    If you want two early, you have to trade up from #60, imo. I would add Legette to the list, personally.

     

    Someone from the top group has to fall because I don't think we'll have 7 receivers go in the 1st round like a lot of mocks are showing. Teams also have access to prospects'  medical information that isn't publicly known, which can cause a prospect to fall.

     

    I just hope Beane doesn't get antsy and trade up for a wide receiver in a draft with this much depth.
