    Bills 3rd Rnd pick in 2025 Draft : Landon Jackson - DE - Arkansas

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Was worried we’d take him in a trade down from 30 to the top of the second.  Taking him in the third seems like a sweet deal.  He was mocked higher—he has both the production in college and the RAS.  If he’s the next Maxx Crosby I’ll be elated (heard Greg Cosell’s comp🫰).  
     

    I’m feeling a lot better with a CB, DT and DE in the first three rounds all positions of real need.  Now, get a DT1, a vertical threat WR, LB and RB and I’ll be a happy camper (we have seven picks left and don’t have room for that many so we can use the extra picks to move up where we can).

    Bills 2nd Rnd pick in 2025 Draft : TJ Sanders - DT South Carolina

    in The Stadium Wall

    Five DTs came off the board last night and the ones we’d hoped for went well before us.

     

    Sanders was generally ranked in the 5-7 range of DTs in one of the deepest classes in a long time.  So, the fact that we took him as the 6th DT coupled with the fact that SF took Collins next, seems to validate the range of the pick and the trade was fair based on the charts.

     

    The Bills have their “type” and Sanders seems to be a perfect fit.  Here’s another positive write up on Sanders this one from the ESPN:  

     

    “Sanders is an outstanding run defender who can play two gaps and one gap. He shoots his hands, stacks blockers and sheds in time to make plays. He's light but is strong, and he holds his ground on-on-one. He slips blocks, locates the ball and wraps up in the backfield. Sanders won't have to come off the field in passing situations. He gets to the quarterback by winning with his hands and his ability to change directions. He excels at running stunts.”

     

    There have been a lot of other positive comments about Sanders pre-draft and post-draft so I won’t rush to judgment. The draft is deep at DT so there’s still hope that we can get a traditional two down DT1 to complement the roster much like Hairston hopefully will and he wasn’t seen as a “Billsy pick” so maybe we’ll make a similar move later on.

    Bills First Rnd pick in 2025 draft: Maxwell Hairston - CB - Kentucky

    in The Stadium Wall

    FWIW, here’s the grade and comments on the Maxwell (“Mad Max”) Hairston pick from Rob Rang writing for Fox Sports:  


    30. Buffalo Bills: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

    Rang: The Bills needed defensive playmakers in this draft to help Josh Allen get over the top and into the Super Bowl, and they certainly found a playmaker in the 2025 Combine speed champ. Hairston, who wins with pure man-to-man cover skills and big-play flair, returning half of his six career touchdowns back for touchdowns. This is one of my favorite picks given his talent and fit with a team needing a "finisher."

    Grade: A

    Who do you want the Bills to take/ Who do you think the Bills will take at 30??

    If Grant or Harmon are there at 30, I think we should take one because a good penetrating DT will help stop the run/improve the pass rush/get Ed O back to ‘23 form/help to free up the LBs.  

     

    If they’re not there, I think the “practical” pick will be a CB—preferably either Amos or Hairston.  
     

    If we go CB at 30, with the depth at DT, I think we can still hit on two solid DTs (which I really want) like CJ West, Farmer, Caldwell, etc.  I think the drop off at CB is greater because there isn’t close to the same level of depth.  And, if we take a DT at 30, we have the draft capital to move up if needed from 56 to ease with the drop off at CB.

    Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)

    To help narrow down the real money, Spotrac has his market value as follows:  


    1 years, $1,364,649 (rounded up to to $1.4M).

    NFL Rank:1018

    CB Rank:102

     

    Think that answers the question about what the Bills expect from him and will  certainly fool no other teams about the importance of Beane drafting a CB before the run starts on the second tier (as opposed to DT where we’ll be much safer when the run for the second tier of quality players commences and they’re very good players).
