30: Donovan Ezeiraku, EDGE, BC. Undersized but with long arms. Even if Nolen, Grant and Tyliek are gone that means there's a higher-rated CB or EDGE here. Ezeiraku has to rise significantly in the process to not be a reach here, he's mid-late 2nd on most boards. Can't believe Mike Green, Shemar Stewart, Princely Umanmielen and Jack Sawyer are all gone at this point, not to mention the former DT's, and CBs Barron and Revel. 56: Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State. Fast yes, 4.38, but lack of length and blocking acumen brings questions to whether he can be an X. Elic Ayomanor projects to an X 62: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame. This is a fine pick. In a tier below Revel and Barron, but right there with Thomas, Alexander and Amos. 107: JJ Pegues, DT, Ole Miss. Two schools of thought on the DL depth in the draft: get your choice at the top, or wait and see who's left. This is the latter, but no problem with the player for this spot. Could go Jordan Phillips too, or if you took the DT R1, David Walker. 130: Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma. Lacks length but has the long speed. Bills can use that. This is fine. 171: Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State. Bills mold of fast, versatile, but slightly undersized LB. Still, toolsy and athletic. 174: Joquavious Marks, RB, USC. Dual-threat back for 3rd down chain moving, would be potentially replacing Ty Johnson. 177: Jack Nelson, T, Wisconsin. Has inside/outside position flex but seems the type Kromer likes more at T. 179: Kurtis Rourke, QB, Indiana. Because he's Canadian. Could just as well be Shough or Leonard I suppose. 206: James Burnip, P, Alabama. I like the idea of punter for salary cap reasons, but the knock on Burnip is he can be slow to get the kick off. Oh boy.

nflmockdraftdatabase.com too-early attempt: Grant and Ayomanor have been popular in these mocks, and are very good gets at those slots. Xavier Watts is just too much of a difference maker at 62 to pass on. Dorian Strong is another CB with length capable of pressing the LOS, I'm assuming the Bills are looking for those. Saivion Jones is a big edge who can get to the QB, possibly flex inside on passing downs to hopefully do better than Jefferson against Baltimore. Jay Higgins screams process and scouts a bit like Bernard, but if you think he's a Will maybe you go a more Mike-projection leaving Dorian behind Milano. Miles Frazier is what the Bills do at guard, road-grader, not a puller. Jordan Hancock is a nickel/safety flex like Cam Lewis, but with long speed. Riley Leonard, don't really have to change the playbook. Sanders has injury concerns but is a 230 sub-4.5 guy. Lundt profiles a bit like Van Demark, seems to fit the Kromer mold. Roberts is another developmental big edge. I'd have rather gone with Oladejo to lead off "the cluster" of 5th's but he went just prior, maybe irl would have pulled a trade-up.

After plunking a few mocks at a few sites, starting to get a sense of what the Bills need to do: they must combo up on: CB, DT, EDGE, WR in the early picks. Taking a crack at PFN engine, it looks like it's constantly refining itself with data from mock drafters. With a couple strategic trade-downs this is how it fell, and something unexpected happened on the way... 31. Kenneth Grant DT Michigan. This was always the guy, but at 30 Tyleik, Grant, and Nolen were still on the board so took the cheese from KC to drop, & they took Tyliek. 56. Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss. Excuse me wtf. Why is this guy here. This is NOT Boogie, we're doubling up. We're gonna rotate the **** out of opposing OLs. 62. Isaiah Bond WR Texas. A flat-out burner who can take the top off in the 4.3 range. If there was a true X in this spot like Savion Williams or Elric of Melinbonor then I'd probably have gone that way. Tez Johnson also in consideration. 108. Zy Alexander CB LSU. It would have been Azarayeh Thomas at 56 if Nolen wasn't there but we're happy dancing to get Zy here for the impending philosophy change. 131. Tyler Baron EDGE Miami. The ripple from 56 continues, as 108 would have been targeting David Walker. 175. Jordan James RB Oregon. In case Cook is not extended, fills the quota for Jimbo, dreads. 179. Cody Lindenberg LB Minnesota. A true Mike who can back-up TB and provide diagnosis & green-dot ability in a more Tremainey size. 181. Hunter Wohler S Wisconsin. This is with an eye to replacing Hamlin, brings more size & tackling ability. 197. Mitchell Evans TE Notre Dame. With an eye toward Knox's role as an inline guy. 207. Nohl Williams CB Cal. Developmental press boundary corner. 208. Que Robinson EDGE Alabama. Former safety has length and frame but will need to add strength, can be a core-4 ST guy in the meantime. 227. Tyler Shough QB Louisville. The eternal search for a developmental guy behind Allen.

If that's the kind of big receiver you're going for you can maybe look toward someone like Savion Williams with one of the 2nds. Most Bills fans seem to be calling for the vertical threat type like an Egbuka. Someone like Golden or Isaiah Bond or Tez Johnson stands a good chance of being there for the 2nds.

Taking a cut at Draft Buzz. My justification is, let's steal the Eagles plan. Getting guys to cover will allow your DL to be better. TBH I haven't got deep into the late round guys, hence P and dev QB instead of a real player like a sleeper edge. Tez is a poor man's Worthy, just steal some KC plays for him. DL and EDGE especially got violently drafted early by the sim, so rather than reach... (Let's No, Brandon).

Elliott's kick is good! Oh wait, there's a flag on the play! Seriously, even the garbage time scoring drives for the Chiefs, both tackles were holding every play, Taylor never lines up within 2 yards of LoS, numerous false starts. The 22 pity points just make it look like the\ Chiefs didn't get completely splattered by the Eagles to people getting the "NFL Stats and Records" proprietary brainchip download 50 years on from now.

[10:09] 2 minutes 1) Bosch tools Macho Madness 2) Totino's Pizza Rolls 3) GoDaddy something 4) Fetch app Blah not a good year. Nothing I really really liked and a lot that were just weird and/or disgusting

Another false start, and that costs me the 6-0 squares pot

Big time pick play

Yeah, go ahead and highstep down 5 scores.

Even if the return doesn't count, those seconds don't get put back on the clock. Good move to run it back.

And another blatant hold to allow the pass there.

They let an absolute tackle by Chiefs IOL go there.

The toss from Devonta to the refs with the arms raised for touchdown was elite.

[9:16] 1) Hims & Hers. Obesity. The system is the problem? Well the food industry isn't concerned about health and the health industry isn't concerned about food. Hint: Ozempic isn't the answer. 2) Poppi diet soda and more people standing on classic cars.

The Bills have offensive tackles. The Chiefs, not so much.
