This is just my opinion, but I don't think any of those 3 guys are close to worth the 62nd pick. I know Gunner may disagree on Alexander being maybe possible but I am not high on the Cornerbacks after the tier that gets constantly talked about here on the board. I have Cobee Bryant 72nd(but he's probably dropping), then I have Zah Joyner and Alexander back to back. in the 80's

My Top 100 isn't finalized yet but: # 35 Cameron Williams OT Texas #45 Alfred Collins DT Texas #49 T.J. Sanders DT USC #50 Kaleb Johnson RB Iowa #52 Andrew Mukuba S Texas (probably will be dropping him after bad athletic pro day) #54 Omarr Norman Lott DT Tennessee #56 Jonah Savaiinaea OG Arizona #57 Elijah Arroyo TE Miami #63 Brashard Smith RB SMU #64 Quinshon Judkins RB Ohio State #65 Airontae Ersery OT Minnesota #67 Jordan Burch DE Oregon #68 Tre Harris WR Mississippi #69 Tai Felton WR Maryland Those are my guys left in my top 70. Use as you see fit.

For 56 I would honestly at this point, double up and take T.J. Sanders, that would make me feel better about this situation getting a true 1T and following it up with a really solid 3T who has value here versus trying to force something.

I actually think the Bills are in a pretty advantageous spot. With a lack of top QB's, and a lot of team needy teams at the top of round 2, I think the Bills would be a good candidate to drop down early in round 2 and let a team take a Tyler Shough or Jalen Milroe at the end of round 1. I also think that the Bills being one spot ahead of the Chiefs is advantageous because everyone under the sun knows that the Chiefs need a LT and its very possible that Josh Conerly is the last true LT before a big dropoff for Left Tackles in a draft that doesn't have a lot of them to begin with.

And this again is why you have to take a CB at 30 and not hoping one drops to 56. No CB's left worth the pick and there is still Darius Alexander, Alfred Collins, T.J. Sanders, Omarr Norman Lott, Josh Farmer, Jordan Phillips at DT and then you have Jack Sawyer, Jordan Burch, most of these guys are acceptable players for the DL at 56 or 62. There isn't a single CB I would touch left on the board right now. It used to be Cobee Bryant before his rough combine and apparently he hasn't been good in interviews. In this version there isn't even really a safety worth taking with maybe the exception of Andrew Mukuba. I mean you almost have to take a WR with one of these next two picks just due to value. Could have traded back, got a great value DB at 34 in this draft, taken someone like Alfred Collins at 56 and turn around and got either an Edge or WR at 62 and had a 3rd round pick to play with in the 70's but everyone just had to have Kenneth Grant.

No I think he can play the 1T but he will be a converted guy like I was discussing in the earlier post with you

Harmon played the 3T in college though. Caldwell was the NT

I mean let’s be frank most 1Ts in the NFL aren’t pass rush guys. It’s why the Bills have employed undersized 1Ts for most of the tenure. The guys who do go very early in the draft. I suppose you could say Grant has that upside due to his athleticism for his size but the vast majority of 1Ts play two downs and then come off for another 3 T on passing downs. If your looking for pass rush your better off drafting a 3T and trying to convert them like a Harmon

I think they wouldn’t have to wait till 2026. What I’m saying is that the Bills in the 2025 regular season are going to win the vast majority of their games and they can do that with Jackson, another vet, or a mid round draft pick. Revel by all reports is going to be ready for training camp but if the Bills want to work him in slowly(which they have a history of doing) than they can afford to have Revel practice and learn and be a backup for the first half of the season while his knee continues to get stronger. I know that’s not a popular opinion for a first round pick around here but they need their guys ready for the playoffs more than week 1. We know this team is good

Oh I see him as late round priority guy too. I just like his production. I saw Powell live this past year. Smaller back probably a UDFA but I could see him being a guy that excels in preseason and people are like who is that guy. Allen is a great pass catcher and good pass blocker but his knock was his speed and him not running scares me I just think Bartholemew is going to be a good pro. I saw him play a game in HS when he was a 3 star recruit. Went to Buffalo and then Pitt. Just feel there is untapped potential there. Nash Jones would probably be the guy I would watch if I were you. Played tackle but is a guard in the NFL. Think he has a shot to go round 4 and has met with a ton of NFL teams.

Eh the Patriots cost themselves the first overall pick

I got ya, I like Nash Jones OG from Texas State Lequint Allen RB Syracuse(tho him not running scares me) Gavin Bartholemew TE Pitt Shunderrick Powell RB Central Arkansas Zakhari Franklin WR Illinois Chandler Martin LB Memphis

I’m gonna get on you about Rosengarten a bit because I believe you had him as 4th round grade and I believe I told you he was going to go in round 2 and you fought me on it.

Oh gave that option to Bills fans but no bueno they said lol

I always love posing these questions. If Porter has all of these traits, and I’m not disagreeing with you per se, Athleticism, willing tackler, scheme versatile, stats to back it up. You think he’s a day 1 starter, why do you believe that he will be available at 56 or 62 in an incredibly weak draft. These are the same questions I asked last year when people were like we need a 6’4 200 pound 4.3 sure handed WR at 30 last year. Those perfect prospects don’t grow on trees and they sure don’t last to pick 28, 30, 56, or 62 especially in what you defined as a weaker class. So one of two things is true. He’s either not going to last until 56, or he’s a more flawed prospect than you believe. I happen to think he doesn’t make it to 56 because of what you said but I’d like your opinion on this

I think your better argument is he’s 24 and the Bills typically take younger(21 or under) players in the first round because of upside. The only guy they took that old was Kincaid. He’s also not a polished 24

I disagree on Revel. Yes he has the knee but the Bills know they are good, even if Revel isn’t his old self early in the year the Bills can still win a lot of games regardless. The Bills are very big on character. I told people this last year when everyone was shunning Coleman as a pick and how the Bills will love Coleman as a person. I think the same thing could be said about Revel. All reports are he’s a stand up guy that comes from a good family. Failed school in HS , went to JUCO and thought his career was over, went to the ECU camp while working full time at Amazon and impressed so much that ECU offered him with the contingency he got his grades up at JUCO. He got his grades up and bigger schools started offering but he stuck with ECU because they were the ones who gave him a shot to get out of working a normal job the rest of his life. Then he baled out and was off to a great start before blowing out his knee. He fits the Bills character MO to a tee

Amos is literally a perfect fit for a McDermott system. I see him being the guy they target followed by Revel. They prob will fall in love with a player like Revels character if you know the story on him

WITH THE 41st Pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, THE CHICAGO BEARS Select: MASON TAYLOR TE LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY Why: The GM is trying to give Ben Johnson the same offensive pieces he had in Detroit by first adding Omarion Hampton, following it up with a LT to block for franchise QB Caleb Williams, and now adding Mason Taylor to the mix as the "Sam Laporta" of Ben Johnson's offense. I have always had Taylor as my clear # 3 TE and it wouldn't surprise me if you look back in 3 years and he is the best one to come out of this draft. Taylor has great hands and great pedigree as a pass catcher and with Thibodeaux being added via trade, the need for an edge rusher was lessened. The Bears also have picks 65 acquired via trade with the Giants and their original pick #72 to continue adding pieces to this football team. @section122 and the NY Jets are on the clock

The Bears will consider moving down from # 41 if anyone is interested.

WITH THE 39TH Pick in the 2025 NFL DRAFT, THE CHICAGO BEARS SELECT: Josh Conerly OT University of Oregon Analysis: After trading down and getting Hampton to end the first round, the Bears turn around and get their future franchise LT at pick 39 after missing out on Josh Simmons. Conerly fits the same mold as Simmons, an uber athletic offensive tackle that is just scratching the surface of his development as he is still just a 21 year old prospect. Conerly can slide right into the Left Tackle role while this moves Braxton Jones into a swing tackle role which he seems better suited for. @Alphadawg7 and the New Orleans Saints are on the clock

No to both 2nds

I know people love the story but I do not think that either Ulofoshio, Joe, or Spector are any sort of lock for this roster. I think a mid round LB can unseat any of those 3.

I do think Higgins is going to go around where the Browns took him. Might even slip onto round 1 but more likely the first 5-10 picks of round 2

I moved up solely because I thought Hampton was a possibility at your pick. If the Giants hadn’t offered a deal, I probably would have taken Hampton at 10. My goal was to trade 34 to either 28 or 30 and get Simmons because I knew the Chiefs would take him. Then I was worried you would take Hampton at 33 hence me jumping you at 32 . If my trade went through with the Bills, I then would have traded 39 to the Eagles and gotten both Simmons and Hampton who are much higher in my top 100. Hampton has a true first round grade and Simmons might be my first or 2nd guy with a 2nd round grade. I only have 17 first round grades this year
