Buscaglia has Femi Oladejo at #56 in his mock from this morning. But then he has Revel at #62 and Mukuba at #109, and one of my sleeper types at 128 after a trade up, Brashard Smith who'd be plan B if you don't get Giddens... The strategery that has been most successful to me in mocks, has been two trades to turn 30 and 56-or-62 into three picks, mid-late 30's for the CB, something 50ish for Tyleik or Collins, and a 3rd rounder for an edge or safety, taking the other at the remainder of 56/62. 4 picks to fortify the defense on Days 1+2. There are other guys the Bills can target at WR, RB, OL and TE that can be had Day 3. Buscaglia's getting closer to that but it's a lot of assumptions on who might trade up and why - best case is someone needs to jump KC for tackle. Or KC can just give up 95 to move up a slot!

Porter for sure was a reach where he was taken in this mock. He's usually in play at 62 let alone 56.

With pick #54 in the TSW 2.0 draft, the Packers select Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame. This pick is made with an eye toward life after Jaire, and also this is the last of the tier-1/2 CB's left due to a run on them early in the round and is sticking up on our board. While we see a plethora of tier-2 and tier-3 receivers we now feel we can get a productive player later in the draft. Morrison dropped due to injury concerns but when he's right he can absolutely be a shutdown CB1. San Diego and @Doc Brown are on the clock.

Both would be borderline firsts I think. Revel was referenced as potential mid-1st before the knee.

1) Baylon Spector 2) It's the only way to be sure

I'm just thinking now they looked at the options in this draft and just decided to extend Bernard. There really isn't a prototype of the "McD Dream" for Mike in the draft. I did a mock where I had Stutsman come to 132 so I kind of had to pull the trigger on the hopes his coverage shortcoming is experience and not ability based, because he's the one guy who has length and ranges sideline-to-sideline like Tremaine does, but will shed a blocker and fill a hole like Tremaine doesn't. Bernard can do both at an adequate level but is starting to show the toll it takes at his size.

This was the Belichickian "trade all over the board" draft. BUF-TEN #30+177 -> #35+103 BUF-ATL #56+109 -> #46 BUF-ARI #62 -> #78+115 BUF-SF #115 -> #138+147 BUF-CLE #173 -> #192+200 2 DT 2 EDGE 2 CB, S, LB. We're fixing this thing one way or another.

I want to get back to this. Paul seems to be the body type who'd only backup the Will (Milano). Is Dorian Williams going to be backing up Bernard? A lot of the difficulty in the Bills' scheme is you need a Mike who can thump the run AND cover a zone, which is fine when you got Keuchley but you can't just plug in a long rangy guy who can run (see: Tremaine and my concerns about Stutsman) I'm all for shooting Bail Inspector into the sun and all, but I want to understand the need and the fit for Paul for my mocks, I see him at the top of the 4th pretty often but certainly don't see spending 109 on him. Just wondering if he's that much better than a guy like Bassa or Mondon later. I could understand as a set-up to release Milano for '26.

I countered with 30+109. That's the value of 26. If you really need a that second and I don't like my options at 62, i'll think about 90, 101 and 127 and can throw you a 6th... i do like that range of the draft about 80-120.

I suspect the Bills easily decline that one. 26 for 30+109 lines up much better for value (696 vs 700), why would the Bills be paying a draft chart premium of a mid-4th just as vigorish when you're the one making the phone call? Not to mention why are the Bills wanting to add another 6th when they already hold 4 selections 169-177. If the Bills have a guy they want (they might?) then there might be a deal to make, but it won't be those 2nd rounders in play for a 4 spot move...

I'd go up as high as 21 for Harmon alone. It puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the draft, as the tier of CBs I like are pretty much always gone by 40, but if he's a guy who can bust the pocket from 1T it's an element that could really change the entire D. The trade I've been using in mocks to get to 21, it's pretty close on the Rich Hill chart: Bills #30 + 62 + 177 -> Pittsburgh #21 + 123 If Harmon goes top-20 the board usually breaks so that you'd want to trade down from 30 to the 35-40 range and get one of Hairston or Amos or if you have to, Thomas or Revel. Then if you can get to about 45 using 56 + whatever you picked up in the trade down you can try to get Landon Jackson or Nick Scourton, or Tuimoloau if you can't get that high. Or, get Alfred Collins at 56 and Swinson at 62, and there's a few interesting players at the bottom of day 2/top of day 3.

With the 23rd pick in the TSW 2.0 Mock Draft the Cheez Bay Packers select Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College Our two big needs are getting after the quarterback and a burner to get down the field. We liked Golden and were not happy when he went off the board on a trade-up. We don't necessarily like the value/fit of other receivers at this position; the next tier plays more to our needs there. In Ezeiruaku we get a player who can bend around the edge and has shown great production... we've tried betting on traits (cough Van Ness) and that hasn't worked to form as of yet. The Vikings and Jack Klugman... I mean @quincy are on the clock.

With the 21st Pick in the TSW 2.0 Mock Draft The Yinzborough Stillers select Shemar Stewart EDGE Texas A&M This is a boom-bust selection but our impact players on the D-Line are aging out. He has the size, length and play strength we covet and explosion to beat tackles off the edge. He can play anywhere along the line except nose; hand in the dirt on the end or as a standup Sam or Jack. The franchise has a track record of getting the most out of these toolsy prospects, and the book on Stewart is to value him according to how much you like your DL coaches. The Steelers are rolling the dice here on their ability to teach the Steeler way. @Doc Brown and the San Diego Chargers are up, and if they're in a different city just get yourself 1.21 gigawatts and fix it.

If you're a linebacker the size of a safety, you'd better run like a safety. 6' 220lb 30" arms and 4.63... maybe at #173

Small guy, doesn't run fast, t rex arms... it checks out.

Yeah, he's been my combine/Senior Bowl crush. He's a red-zone mismatch unit, but has long speed to go with it. I don't know how much he's been asked to do with route trees in Arkansas but he sure popped in the post-season events. Scourton was a good pick. Then he has the Bills passing on Tyleik Williams at #62 so the Chiefs can draft him at #63. And then it gets worse.

That is odd. Seems similar to Chimere Díke.

That's funny in this thread because Dareus had Ricky Williams type of potential.

Grant's been trending down in mocks. He could make it to 30 and even if he doesn't there's Tyleik and Collins and West and more. Unless it's a small move for a Harmon if he should make it to 25 or 26, nah. Certainly not worth spending a 1 and a 2.

The WOAT is back at it on NFL.com, namely Chad "Roto" Reuter, with another mock of a draft: https://www.nfl.com/news/five-round-2025-nfl-mock-draft-round-1 *** TRADE *** Bills trade #30+109 to Baltimore for #27 and something else not specified (they take Malaki Starks and Deone Walker) #27 Matthew Golden WR Texas - Why does every mock this guy does has the Bills trading up in the 1st using their high 4th? That said, if you think Golden is a top-15 guy I can understand the move. #56 Nic Scourton EDGE Texas A&M - hey, this isn't actually a bad pick. The first I can remember. #62 Joshua Farmer DT Florida - But it doesn't last. I wouldn't crap on this pick so much , except then he has KC taking Tyliek Williams at #63. The better player and the better fit. #132 Cobee Bryant CB Kansas - A guy who's been a faller through the entire pre-draft process and would have been pegged a 4th at best BEFORE all of that. This part of the draft kills me. Here's who comes off the board 133-168 after that reach: Omarr Norman-Lott, Billy Bowman, Saivion Jones, Caleb Ransaw, Jordan James, Zeek Biggers, CJ West, DJ Giddens, Malachi Moore, Kyle Williams, Ahmad Hassanein, Tahj Brooks. Any of them 1000% better than Cobee or trade-down at #132 - or easily justifying a trade-up using say 170 & 177. #169 Jaylen Reed S Penn State - Ok value, but a converted linebacker who plays like a converted linebacker. IOW more of what they got and not what they need. #170 Jackson Slater G Sacramento State - Ok value here. He'll play for someone after getting signed off the Bills' practice squad. It's a sneaky need. #173 Shaun Dolac LB Buffalo - Hometown boys are for UDFA, esp with Teddye Buchanan going 2 picks earlier. Seems lazy to me to peg him for the 5th round because you're only doing a 5 round mock. CB is still an infected wound on the roster. If I'm the GM and Golden shows up at #30 and he's clear BPA I grab him but I don't know about the move up when you've got guys on the board in Hairston, Amos, Revel, Kenneth Grant, Alfred Collins. Would I rather have Trey Amos + Kyle Williams + Deone Walker (pick #109 in the mock) than Golden and Cobee Freakin Bryant... yeah, I think I would. After plotting a lotta mocks there seems to be a few predominant paths for a successful draft for the Bills based on what they do with pick #30: 1) small trade up for an impact DT (Harmon), 2) Trade down 6-10 picks to gain an extra Day 2 pick and take one of Amos/Revel/Hairston, 3) stand pat and take your BPA.

if it gets things moving i'll take Ravens or Iggles or Packers

Pittsburgh could be open to a trade-down to recoup the 2nd spent for DK Metcalf, and has what could be a very interesting pick to the Bills in #21OA, depending on the board. Both teams are looking for help on the DL but run very different schemes. One such move could be something like #30+62+206 for #21+123 [Both 284 points by Rich Hill chart].
