Yea I agree, I was taught at the college level. So I evaluated and recruited players from the HS to the D1 College ranks so I’ve never been in an NFL arena but I do know quite a few people at the Division 1 &2 levels as well as a couple of NFL scouts and a handful of personnel people at the college level but sometimes you have to be careful talking to college coaches cause they’ll inflate their own guys

I 100% agree with this. I think I have 15 but I have like 30+ players in the 2nd and 3rd round graded but even the 4th and 5th round will have some good value.

Its not about what we have right now though necessarily. I'm not trying to harp on you as they easily could just roster 7 guys like your saying and be fine. With that said, the Bills have safety depth but I'm not sure that Hamlin/Forrest are by any means locks to make this roster so they should have some competition. We need 1 CB and wouldn't surprise me if we add a 2nd to challenge Ingram & Dane Jackson who I don't think are locks to make it. We have 6 LB's but really only 3 of them are locks to make this roster as Andreessen, Spector, and Ulofoshio are going to have to battle for a spot with a draft pick. Then we look at the Dline. Epenesa and Bosa are free agents, Jones and Ogunjobi are free agents. To me we need to draft 2 DT's in this draft and one edge with the depth of the class. We are pretty set on the offensive line with the exception of David Edwards who is a UFA after this year. Most Bills fans will tell you that Alec Anderson should step into that role and he could for sure but then they need to either find a position versatile guy like him to replace him or they need to find a starting guard and leave him in that role. TE3 you already discussed and WR. This doesn't even include Punter which we can probably get another UDFA guy to compete but if they want to lock it down they can use one of their 6ths. So to me if you really want to press for spots TE3, WR, OG, DE, DT, DT, LB, CB,CB, S, P. Thats 11 possible positions. Will they all make it probably not but there is enough space on the roster for legit competition for 10 guys to be selected. I personally think they'll take 8 or 9.

People also said we wouldn’t roster all the guys last year and we did between active and PS and a UDFA made the roster. Trading down though isn’t necessarily about acquiring more picks to me. It’s more about acquiring a more valuable pick like in the 3rd and then that allows the Bills to move around in the mid rounds for guys if they like if they choose. Right now I don’t think the Bills will move up in round 2 because they won’t want to give up a 4th unless they get an additional 3rd or 4th

When was the last time we took an Ohio State guy? Cardale Jones or Adolphus Washington? We haven’t had really good luck outside of the DBs back in the day

Thanks for the kind words and same for you @FireChans. There is a lot of time spent watching college tape and I am never 100% right like anyone else. I have missed plenty so if you disagree with an evaluation that’s perfectly fine. @GunnerBilland I don’t always agree either on evaluations. One thing that we don’t have is all the medical and character info that goes into it so sometimes that hampers proper evaluation. Im currently working on a 7 rounder for the board that I will readily admit is just as much for fun but gives you a full look at why I have Bills players taking certain players. I’m through 4 rounds right now so hopefully by tomorrow and @GunnerBill and I are going to hopefully be collaborating on something the board can enjoy before Thursday

It’s only been one year but so far last years class was highly overrated. I suspect he’ll find a way into the 3rd round somehow if the guy he wants is off the board

My top 5 players that are great fits for the Bills are: Trey Amos CB Miss Ty Robinson DT Nebraska Teddye Buchanan LB Cal Jaydon Blue/Brashard Smith RB Jalen Royals WR Utah State

I think everyone in there is a round or more off with the exception of Golden (who will go earlier than the Bills pick ) and the Punter

I believe he’s going to be there and I believe the Bills are going to break the hearts of most posters here

Chargers, Packers, Vikings

I don't disagree that they will double dip. Morrison is not my first choice but I think he would be ahead of Tyleik Williams on the pecking order for 30 is what I'm saying. I think Morrison will go before Williams in the draft.

I’ll never say never but I think the chances are incredibly slim Williams is the pick. I think they’d take Morrison, Revel amongst others not listed before him. I think there is a chance he’s there at 56

There is talk about Schwesinger going in round 1 and will most likely go top 40. Bond is probably off the board especially after Araiza situation. Alexander prob goes before the Bills pick as well

I’ve watched it , it gets more disappointing every time I watch it

Out of curiousity, would you have any interest in doing a rotating mock with me like Mel and Field Yates do. I don’t know how we’d get it done but just a thought that had come into my head

Oh I know he dropped a lot of weight. Even so I’d say he relies on power more than sure speed to get around Tackles even in his Purdue tape. I have also stated that A&M is kind of a place where DL production seems to go to die. Why that is who knows

I do agree that Scourton is more of a power DE than an athletic one. He does have a repertoire of moves which is nice. I’d say he’s like George Karlaftis who has had a nice career but will admit I’ve been dropping him a bit in my rankings. He fits the Bills first choice criteria of visiting and he is 20 years old. I’d prefer him after a trade down

I highly doubt they have Tre a lot of base money

I don’t at all believe that I could I guess see why someone would but not I

Nothing imo

I wouldn’t say he was like wow good but again for a team struggling with Brandon Stephens I thought he filled in serviceably. I think the Ravens, like the Bills want to upgrade from that

Yea I don’t know where all this Golden talk came from , he’s probably the consensus # 1 WR in the draft now. Hes most likely going in the top 20 if not to the Cowboys at 12

He actually wasn’t , he was abysmal for the Rams. He was a serviceable player for the Ravens

The upside is a quality cheap backup who knows your system and is loved by the locker room. A guy who can mentor a young guy or two. His deal is likely between 3-4 million not including escalators
