It was common for slave owners to rape female slaves. Children were still slaves, but bore the last name of the owner. He could be named for the infamous slave holding family but that doesn't make him guilty of that legacy.

The chance of Albert Collins dropping to #56 isn't great. Who is the next 1 tech on the big board if Collins doesn't drop?

Well, I'm not wary about Hairston's speed.

Wit Tyleik Williams gone, I think Buffalo will try harder to trade down. 1 techs look to be in short supply. If they could trade into the second round, they could try and get Alfred Collins. Then they can try to get their CB at #56 or #62.

Will Johnson is still in play for Buffalo. I'm wary about his lack of speed.

Drafttek nailed the Pittsburgh pick. Derrick Harmon. I think he's the last DT that was in play for Buffalo at #30

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
