You don’t find it slightly dumb to go into a draft with only liking 3 guys for a late first round pick 2 of which have an incredibly low percentage of happening. I just think the common fan is a fool for not looking at the totality of the roster and understanding that yea DT is a possibility and a huge need and is a very possible pick at 28. Newton is a good player and Jeremiah is one of the best in the business

This is why most fans can’t be taken seriously because they get on one track minds have their favorites are told by media when a guy is going to go then act crazy when we don’t take their guy only to watch him drop another full round. Just like this thread it makes a lot of sense to take Newton if he falls to the Bills but 90% of people want a WR but not only a WR but one that fits a very specific criteria at 28. If they take a guy like McConkey or Roman Wilson this place will still go apeshit. It has to be Brian Thomas or Mitchell or Legette. Thomas will be gone and Legette isn’t going in round 1. So basically that leaves Mitchell one player they lost fans will be happy with. There was a small percentage of people hyping up Dalton Kincaid last year and it was met with this same resistance about WR. I’m sure the vast majority of that 90% is thrilled we have Kincaid now but some will still B word because it could have been Sam LaPorta

The argument I would make is teams are going to reach for guys like Jenkins/Fiske and the two Robinsons because they’re the last “difference maker” guys on the DLine. Chop is going in the 20s, Darius is going in the 30s imo and Jenkins and Fiske will be gone before pick 50

Well I already had this argument today and Jeremiah is on the same thought I have is. DT is a huge need and it drops off big time from end of round 1 to end of round 2 much more than it would for a WR. If you want to take WR, drop down 10 spots you’re going to get the same guy allowing you to trade up for a DT in round 2.

I didn’t say Samuel was but they put an investment in the position that they could have put into DT/DE or S and they didn’t unless you include the re-signings. WR play is also highly contingent on QB play. If you have a crap QB you’re probably not sniffing 1,000 yards unless you’re a long established # 1 guy who gets fed the ball. I would venture to guess out of the 27 guys you speak of the vast majority of them either have a an average to Superstar QB or were the only real weapon on their team and had to get the ball quite a bit

Roman Wilson isn’t talked about enough here as a possibility if they got WR in round 1

Im not talking myself into anything. I follow the draft and watch film just as much if not more than you do. I was in the WR train but they put our very little FA dollars into a WR making it highly likely they go in another direction in round 1. If they take a WR in round 1 that’s fine but to me the tea leaves would indicate they’re going to wait a round. This combined with the fact that the top 2 DTs are going to go around where the Bills pick makes me think it’s a strong possibility looking at our depth chart. If people can’t see that as a strong possibility and just tell me WR or bust than there is no point in this conversation Be the same players they are now. If that’s the case then why hasn’t the Titans DEs had a lot of success with Jeffrey Simmons who is the most comparable guy to Jones? Guys still have to have to be talent to win 1 on 1 even with a high end DT getting doubled

Ugh no they don’t they have George Karlaftis who had 10.5 sacks last year in his 2nd season.

We don’t have a 3rd as it sits right now and again the DT class isn’t good you wait till round 5 your not getting a guy who can contribute in round 1. I can have Diggs, Samuel, Kincaid, Knox, Shakir as my main pass catchers get a guy like Javon Baker at 60 and still get my Diggs replacement. Then I can take another guy in round 4 to play X I can get Newton in round 1 Baker in round 2 A safety in 4 and another WR who can play X with the other 4th and get all quality players there

I’m not sensitive. It’s not stockpiling talent on defense. They literally have no one NFL quality behind their starters at DT People have made the case for DE before DT to me as well but at least we have 4 DEs on the roster with NFL game experience in Groot, Epenesa, Miller, and Kingsley

The guy taken in round 2. If 33 year old Jones gets hurt again who’s playing? Literally no one right now. Eli Ankou who they’ve cut 7 times already ? The value at DT drops much quicker than at WR

This is why I keep saying DT is a huge need. Yes we have the starters but there is nothing behind them. The value at 28 seems to be trending towards matching with the Bills as well. Very possible one of Murphy and Newton are there or a trade down to take someone like Fiske. I know everyone loves the WR first round train but it’s not a necessity anymore with the Samuel signing. We can get one at the end of round 2

The reason why interior lineman are getting paid like tackles now is because there are so few quality offensive lineman that play at a high level. It’s the same at DE. I don’t think the Bills go that route as I think JPJ can go in the late teens and would be excellent value for the Bills at 28. I wouldnt be upset if they take him While he has never drafted IOL in the first he did make Mitch Morse the highest paid tackle at the time and he had Ryan Kalil at Center while in Carolina so he does see the value in Center

There is a better shot that Legette is there at 60 than JPJ being there at 28 imo

Brady did use the RBs on wheels and seems last year. That was the biggest change I saw was the utilization of Cook in the passing game. My hope is they’ll stretch Kincaid more downfield. TEs chipped way too much last year for my liking. Hopefully that changes now that Brown has hopefully reached his potential that he showed late last year

It gets plenty cold in Colorado in November

6th rounder I believe but could be a 7th as it’s on the fringe

It is unless someone hires a minority to be your HC or GM than it can but players only is 4

Looks like OTC updated Morrows contract at 1.5 million and Hollins at 2.6 million. Neither qualify against the Bills comp picks. Bills currently sit at 2 comp picks a 4th and a 5th for 2025 and still have not found the exact numbers for Settle, Dodson, and Ford. Hopefully 2 of the 3 qualify

I think they will use 8 to 9 this year that will make the roster

He was seen as an up and coming DT with the Rams who played well and parlayed that into a semi big deal with the Chargers and didn’t pan out as well as they’d hope. I still think he’d be a good add depending on price.

Rumor is the 4 QBs are going to go in the top 6. Can’t say I’m super surprised.

Marvin Harrison- Cardinals Rome Odunze- Bears Ladd McConkey- Patriots Brian Thomas- Bills Xavier Worthy- Cowboys Bills pick: Brian Thomas

I was doing my mock and didn’t but I did seriously think about putting McCarthy at 3. Don’t think he was getting out of the top 15 and now he might not get out of the top 10 after seeing this

I think NE is passing on a QB which is dumb but maybe it’s to get McCarthy ahead of the Giants but either way it’s a dumb decision one way or the other
