There figure to be multiple teams in the top of the second round that want to get in the back end of round one to pick up a QB.

Drafttek currently projects Will Johnson to Buffalo at 30.

Not super exciting, but I could see him turning out to be an excellent pick.

Interesting, I have a tab up on my computer to follow Drafttek's running computer simulation of the draft. Kenneth Grant had been their projection for the Bills' pick, but when Miami took him, Drafttek projected Jalon Walker to the Bills. He would play more edge in Buffalo than linebacker. Oops! Now Will Johnson

So Miami gets Grant. He'll be a bust.

Trey Amos Tyleik Williams/Alfred Collins Xavier Watts

If the draft falls the way you predict and Buffalo doesn't trade down, Trey Amos is almost obvious. Good work!

Your first and second round players total 44 players including some borderline 2nd/3rd round picks. That means that more third round values will be drafted in the second round than second round values.

Actually, Tyliek Williams has played a lot of 3 tech. I agree that they probably won't double up on defensive tackle in the first two rounds.

I think there is a technical difference between off season conditioning workouts (what the Bills are doing now) and OTAs, which will come in May and include the draftees.

I think this is the earliest draft we've had in a while.

He was born 2 years to the day after I was. That's a sobering thought.

What that shows is there is not even a ghost of a consensus as to how the draft will fall or what the Bills are thinking. I even saw one mock recently that projected a guard to Buffalo at #30. The rationale? Sean McDermott wanted to ban the "tush push" because "the Bills were so ineffective at running it." Huh? "A guard would make it more effective."

So, is Carter trying to get bigger and stronger to handle the different demands of 1 tech? If that is the intention of the Bills, then Derrick Harmon as draft pick makes a certain kind of sense. It would give Buffalo a pure 1 tech and a pure 3 tech in Jones and Oliver (even though Oliver has filled in at 1 tech when necessary) plus a couple guys who can flip back and forth in Carter and Harmon. As long as they have enough beef to hold up in run defense, it gives them lots of flexibility, something the Bills seem to love.

What is the value of reporting that some sort of artificial intelligence can project second and third round value players to Buffalo in round 1? I don't get it.

Gunnerbill is the only one that I can think of. He knows his stuff and is one of the very few who appears to have a discipline practice of film study.

Wow! Who would have thought someone living in SoCal could be so deprived. Here in Rochester you can get great pizza at dozens of locations. Most places that have wings have barbeque as an option. BTW, barbeque is my go to choice as I'm not fond of Buffalo sauce. Garlic-parm isn't bad either.

I will attend a Bible study early, then catch up on the early picks. There is not that much drama early, so I don't think I'll be missing that much.

Round 1 depends greatly on who falls, but Amos is a reasonable possibility. It is doubtful that Tyliek is still on the board. Collis is iffy. He might be there and might not. Alexander would not be my choice. T think Bond may have been removed from Buffalo's draft board with his red flag. Royals is still in play. I also agree on Ayomanor

I would shocked and probably disappointed if the Bills climbed higher than about #25, and even then it would need to be a really intriguing player to make me happy. I think the odds favor a trade down more than a trade up, but you never know.

Happy easter. My wife and I went to Church this morning then took a two hour and 15 minute drive to Easter dinner with my wife's family. It was a good day, the only negative was 4 1/2 hours on the road.

I like this draft. I agree the Bills will likely avoid Bond, who has spent his time since college football ended, accumulating red flags. Maybe instead of Bond, they might take a look at Arian Smith, whose negatives include questions about his college production and his hands.

I think both were wrestlers. One of the major strengths of Kyle Williams (the DT) is that he was lightning quick at the snap. Zierlein thinks Hutmacher has below average first step quickness.

House is making light of the fact that WR prospect Kyle Williams shares both first and last names with the venerable defensive tackle who played for the Bills several years back. Haven't you seen examples of House's humor in the past? Here are the weaknesses of Nash Hutmacher according to NFL.com's draft coverage (Lance Zierlein's commentary I believe: Below-average first-step quickness upfield and laterally. Very short arms prevent separation from the block. Struggles getting rid of the blocker to tackle his gap. Range of play won’t extend far beyond his closest gaps. Unable to generate pocket pressure if he doesn’t win quickly. He is rated as a bottom of the roster or practice squad player.

The Bills have the most complete list LOL. All anybody else has is a compilation of bits and pieces cobbled from many sources. My guess is that list has some missing pieces.
