That’s fine I posted because it seems to be one of the core questions the team is going to run into on day 1. also, the reality is nobody’s evaluations mean anything or are worth anything. It’s become its own business and all the scouting and mocks exist to fill the void in content. unless you work for an nfl team and a person above you in the food chain is relying on you for an evaluation and/or comparison for a group of players you are just entertaining yourself. Literally nobody cares nor does it matter. dane brugler spends all his time watching college tape and puts out the biggest draft book there is. A few years ago while working in Dallas he told a story about getting an interview to be a scout with the pats, belichick didn’t care at all about his evaluations and told him to watch tape of a few players and give an evaluation the way they wanted. Long story short, he didn’t get the job. Brugler had Bryan broaddus in his corner a former GM, scout and director of player personnel and he still couldn’t get an nfl job. I say this not to demean anyone or belittle it but it’s no different than me playing the guitar. The e street band won’t be calling me anytime soon if you know what I mean. I do it because I enjoy it, same as the draft analysts.

Of course but it’s a long way from 30 to 56 when you have no starting corner opposite benford.

Why is cook a villain all of a sudden? Is it because people are just desperate to have something to talk about? trading players before the draft is when they are worth the least and you would be losing anyway you go about it at this time of year. Cook should have a great year.

I can't imagine anyone left outside of douglas who could be signed post draft and be considered a starting corner in Buffalo. they have shown year after year they can find veterans to play well on the d line although that is not ideal either.

seems like they have to. I have felt the biggest area of need this offseason was the secondary. They went status quo at safety and are currently short a corner. So the CB position needs seem to come above all else.

Greg Cosell has the opposite opinion fwiw. He even suggest Harmon is a developmental prospect who might not offer much in year 1. He seems to love Grant although also calls him a player to be developed...which i guess is true of every young player, but cosell thinks grant has light, quick feet and is more than a run player. Cosell thinks Nolen is the best of all the DT prospects in the class.

Amen to that. if they trade up for a Defensive tackle in the first round that is just bad business. Although having said that, it seems the demand from teams will be there and the supply will run out shortly, Dane Brugler said this in a chat recently: Don’t be surprised when a third of the top-100 picks come on the defensive line. So from that perspective I guess if it is the only way then its the only way but I am in the camp that a group of similar players will be available when they pick and would move back a little if the opportunity presents itself.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6253459/2025/04/04/bills-2025-nfl-draft-defensive-tackles/ Why Grant falls below Harmon all has to do with current third-down capabilities. At this point, Grant is more of a clean-up pass-rusher than one who disrupts the pocket, and early on in his career, he may be nothing more than an early-down asset who has to come off the field for obvious pass-rushing situations, though there is more of a nimbleness to his movement abilities than other massive one-technique run-stuffers. He’ll never dip and rip through blockers, but through his power and movement skills, there is a path to seeing him develop as an asset on third downs. It will take some projecting by the team that drafts him. He suggests if Harmon is available in the 20's to trade up and go get him. If Harmon is available in the mid-20s or at No. 30 for the Bills, it could be a slam-dunk investment for them. He mentions an interesting day 3 1 tech DT that I find pretty interesting, Jamaree Caldwell Jamaree Caldwell, Oregon — Caldwell is a gap-plugging, space-eating, one-technique-only prospect at 332 pounds with a quick first step. There is some thought he would be best suited to the 0-technique role in a 3-4 defense, but he’s a clear strength as a run defender.

I just heard that mope Mike florio on 105.3 the fan and he said he can’t believe no one except the eagles has figured out how to run the tush push. He said this multiple times. This is a man whose primary income comes from covering the nfl.

Daniel Jeremiah has a new top 50. https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-50-2025-nfl-draft-prospect-rankings-4-0 for fun. 30. Kenneth Grant

They were probably arguing over that goofy hat with the flat brim McDermott was wearing. Does he have an N'Sync tribute album coming out or something?

Oh god this again. The only thing more boring than all the talk about this average player is the faux outrage about the tush push from the attention whores in the nfl media.

Nice. Second best move of the offseason.

If this were to happen the bills would be in a great spot. Someone will trade up for him and teams overpay for qb’s, someone might give us a 3 this year and 2. Ext year to move up a few spots.

The chiefs would have lost to the three teams Buffalo did also.

Kiper and Jeremiah had Grant to the bills at 30 also! Would be great if they stayed put and got a really good player like grant. I am really worried about the corner position at the moment however. I feel like Beane screwed the pooch not paying one and has now created a dire need at the position.

Here is a mock from somone named Ben Standing at the athletic. I did not realize Mike Green has two sexual assaults possibly hanging over his head. If Beane were to trade up for a guy in that situation he should be fired. 26. *Buffalo Bills (via Rams): Mike Green, Edge, Marshall (Projected trade: Bills acquire No. 26 from Rams for Nos. 30 and 109) The Bills (10 picks) get ahead of the Ravens and Lions in pursuit of edge-rusher help. Free-agent signing Joey Bosa is Greg Rousseau’s tag-team partner for 2025, while Green, last season’s FBS leader with 17 sacks, adjusts going from the Thundering Herd to the NFL. Green could be among the first 15 picks if teams are comfortable with his off-the-field controversies.

AT&T stadium in Arlington is awful. If that’s what you want you are way off. that place and what it represents is the opposite of Buffalo. It’s like 40% opposing fans every week. dont even get me started on the rangers ballpark down the street. Just terrible.

no one is going to have to shovel snow at the new stadium nor will fans sit in seats filled with snow in the new building.

Nearly 500 million of the states portion came from the seneca nations revenue they share with the state from slot machines. erie county has a large bill though with 250 million but I believe they issued 125 million in municipal bonds. Again, I agree billionaires should pay the freight for their toys 100%.

while i hate billionaires and believe it is ridiculous they do not pay for these facilities alone, the taxpayers are not paying billions for the stadium.

I don't like trading up for Ezeiruaku. Not a fan of Collins and especially not at 56 when Dane Jackson is currently the other starter across from benford. And then porter seems like a reach at 62 plus he seems like a guy who is not going to be good enough to step right in and play day one opposite benford. It seems the corners who will be good enough to play day one will all be close to gone by pick 56. I would rather they take one at 30 or move back a little and take one as opposed to trading up for a rotational pass rusher. I have no problem with Ezeiruaku at 30 if they get one of the better corners at 56. I just don't see them making it there. I just didn't like Joe Buscaglia's approach here. I am worried all three of those players might be just guys in a year or two on an nfl roster.

Joe Buscaglia has a new mock. I have to say I do not like this one at all. Bills 2025 mock draft class (3/21) The pick at No. 26: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, BC The pick at No. 56: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas The pick at No. 62: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State The pick at No. 128: Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State The pick at No. 132: Caleb Rogers, G/T, Texas Tech The pick at No. 173: Jake Brinningstool, TE, Clemson The pick at No. 177: Dante Trader Jr., S, Maryland The pick at No. 206: James Burnip, P, Alabama

No that is not how it works. the bills 30th pick is worth 620, their first fourth round pick is worth 76. clevelands pick is worth 2600 and the giants pick is worth 2200. buffalo’s total draft is worth 1458 points. So their whole draft this year and next years 1 is still not enough.

I don’t have the chart in front of me but I think the total point value of all of buffalo’s draft picks is somewhere between 1440 and 1500. the picks you are talking about would require the entire 2025 draft plus most of next years. I think the top 5 picks are worth more than 2200 points on the chart
