I always thought trading down was the more likely scenario. When you get to this late in the first, the 1st round board is wiped out. Now even though I’m sure they have a lot more 2nd round grades, if the Bills have 12 first round grades, by the time 62 comes around their 2nd round board is very likely going to be wiped out as well. I would expect them to either trade up from 56 or 62 especially after moving down from 30 Rumor was that they had Cook as a 3rd round prospect and that’s why they made those two micro trades before taking him in that draft.

This is very true and it’s why this draft will be very fun but also very hard to predict. A guy could go 25th or he could go 55th. Mockers this year including myself, are going to be more wrong than ever this year

Im not a fan of Josh Farmer. I understand that this was a predictive mock more than my opinion but he has a lot of things you like but I watched him a lot and came away very unimpressed when he became a starter. If you are talking about Femi Oladejo from UCLA I did consider him at the Arizona pick and I will acknowledge it’s very possible both could end up in round 2 but I think Oladejo has a much better chance

Trust me you don’t want to see this face

With the 23rd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers Select: Jahdae Barron CB University of Texas The Packers are simply stunned that Barron, the consensus # 1 CB in the draft has dropped all the way to 23. There is already a need at CB and with the possible departure of Jaire Alexander as well, Barron falls right into their laps. I expect Barron to be at worst a top 14 pick in the draft. @Big Blitz and the Minnesota Vikings are on the clock

Yup, these are a couple of quotes. He also mentions 2 down DTs not being drafted as high because of this

He doesn’t have to get bigger for the Bills system. Harrison Phillips was a 307 pound 1T here and Carter is 305. Might they ask him to gain 5-10 pounds, maybe, but there is a misconception on this board that the Bills are going to take a 320+ guy and plug him in there. It’s what fans want but it’s not what the Bills do. Star was 315, Jones is around 315, Phillips is around 307. If Ogunjobi plays there some hes around 305 as well

I think people should really listen to Beanes presser. Beane usually is very honest to media and he’s not blowing smoke. The Bills just don’t value drafting a 2 down 1T high in the draft unless they have good pass rush skills. It’s also been shown in their history of drafting by only selecting one NT in their tenure(Harrison Phillips). Whether they think Grant can be that guy is tbd but guys like Alfred Collins I do not expect them to target

I know not everyone listened to Beane's presser yet but I made mention during our draft special right before his press conference about Dewayne Carter starting to focus more on being a 1 tech instead of playing the 3 Tech based on what he showed last year and wouldn't you know it in Beane's press conference he mentions and hints at the possibility of Carter playing both but putting more of his focus on playing the nose.

I take offense to that lol

My wife doesn’t love football in general but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that she’s absolutely with all her soul hates the draft chime

This is what i look like

We would love to add a Dude Wipes ad for you

I had fun doing this and meeting @GunnerBill and talking college prospects with him and I think the mock is interesting for how it turned out . Thanks to all the mods and people who listen and feel free to given honest feedback. Maybe if it’s a hit we can turn it into something we do annually

Membou Barron Campbell Pearce Jr. Egbuka Hampton Emmanwori are my remaining top guys.

Watch every pick. Usually one day is wing dip, next day is pizza, then I detox day 3

I mean in this scenario yes probably considering there is also a lack of top end talent and you need a QB to be successful

There are some very late rumors that Derrick Harmon will fall due to medical concerns . Smoke or real who knows

Hes 6’2 242 at the combine and 238 at his pro day I wouldn’t call that a lack of size. Speed who knows but he excelled at the explosion drills like the broad and Vertical. Lot of upside still too since he’s a former walk on who didn’t play a lot early in his college career. With that said Schefter is getting this from an agent so it’s very possible he’s trying to put pressure on a team interested in him to move up or for a team ahead of the Commanders and Bills to select him

I think if they are willing to go that direction they must think he’s close. He does have really good natural instincts and is sure tackler but to me it’s like okay Milano is gone next year and Williams remains the primary backup but what does he do in year 1 unless the plan is to play 4-3 more but the. What happens with Taron Johnson. I’d have a lot of questions not on the player but how he’ll be utilized

Schwesinger is very much their type of player. I guess if they took him my question is how are they using him in year 1. I wouldn’t love but I wouldn’t hate it either. I have him going 26th to the Rams but he could go as high as 19 to the Bucs with Campbells uncertain shoulder situation. Oladejo I believe I have going in the 50s but I’m not right in front of of my computer

They have done a much better job of highlighting day 3 guys in recent years. I used to hate when ESPN would just go to roundtables and nfl player interviews and commercials while picks scrolled, or didn’t , on day 3

Yea I get it I’m in round 6 and I don’t have him drafted of my 7 rounder so far debating if someone would take a chance but I doubt it he prob goes undrafted. The Bills won’t even consider it

Haha yes you would think that for sure but man the Bills were really bad at it for years haha

And I 100% can understand that thought process. They were so close were a couple of guys away let’s get the best prospects we can and I agree as well with the UDFA guys . They have had Gouriage for a couple of years developing and I did like what I say from Te’Cory Couch and Dequan Hardy so they could provide the competition at Depth CB. I just go off of Beanes past history. He loves having a pick in every round if he can help it but he sure won’t want to give up 109 and have to wait from pick 62 to 132. Just can’t see him doing that.
