Who else have they re-signed for big money?

I like what you’ve done here…not just regurgitating the same picks as everyone else, but putting a lot of thought into it. I think your projected Bills picks are zero possibility, but overall, it’s a very interesting mock.

The Chiefs are sticking with their plan: Don’t pay anyone except the Big 3, and keep getting younger and cheaper… it’s worked pretty well…

What good will that do when they don’t call offensive holding in the playoffs?

I don’t know if I agree 100% with my take either🤣….I mean, MHJ might turn out to be a great pro. I just hate the entitled attitude, which IMO is based largely on his name. Go watch the combine interview of Rome Odunze, who had every bit as good a college career as Harrison. They asked why he was there when other top receivers were taking a powder, and he talked about how much he loves to compete and how a guy’s combine performance is something for posterity and how he’s even competing against guys from years past. Give me a guy like Odunze or Josh Allen over the MHJs and Caleb Williamses of the world…

The problem with that strategy is that seemingly every year, there is major run on WRs early in the second round. The year we drafted Cook was an example. I think Beane really wanted one of the WRs, but they were all gone by the time our number came up and Beane kept trading back...I suspect guys like Leggette, Franklin, Worthy, McConkey and Coleman will get snapped up by midway through round 2, if they don't go in the first.

I'm really happy that they've put all their eggs in the Aaron Rodgers basket again...I'm very confident that it's going to blow up in their face--again. I will say though, that the Jets' defense is a problem for the Bills and no matter how bad their offense is, they won't be an easy out for us.

Oh, I don't dispute he'll be drafted high, I just don't think he's going to be a dominant NFL WR.

OK. When was he timed in the 40 and what was his time? I think MHJ will have a nice NFL career, but we're not talking about Megatron, or Randy Moss or Julio Jones here, which is how he's being hyped. I'd put Caleb Williams in the same over-hyped bucket too, but that's a whole 'nother discussion.

Evans is an interesting comp, but I don't think Harrison is nearly as big as Evans. Evans is just a huge WR, and obviously, he's an absolute dog. It remains to be seen whether Harrison can even run a 4.5.

Folks, MHJ is one of the most overrated NFL prospects since Sam Darnold. If it wasn’t for his name, he’d be considered a borderline first rounder. Good hands and good size, but no explosiveness, no YAC ability and obviously an entitled attitude. Wouldn’t surprise me if he runs a 4.6. Anyone who takes him over Nabers or Odunze is making a huge mistake. Please stop with this nonsense.

They’ll never do it. Williams was starting to come around last year. I think he’s about to have a huge year… There were a few plays last season where he absolutely abused defensive backs with his speed…

Hyatt and especially Wilson have been pretty good. Simms also had Zay Flowers as WR1 last year, which was good call. He's had a lot of other hits, too.

My mistake...he had Harrison at 3 and Odunze at 4. What was surprising about Simms's analysis is that he feels that Harrison should be picked no higher than 8 or 9--and definitely not top-5--and he does not see Odunze as a top-10 pick, more of a mid first round guy. He's not predicting that, just talking about where he thinks these guys should go...and when it comes to the lower rated options, he put Franklin in the 40-55 range and Worthy in the fourth round. He was not high on Mitchell, either...thinks he is a late round 2 guy. He predicted 4 or 5 guys to go in round 1.

Maybe we could just trade Diggs for that pick…

Chris Simms just put out his WR draft rankings...had MHJ at 4 and Roman Wilson at 5. His WR rankings have been very good...Not saying he's right or wrong in this case, but this points to the fact that this is a very deep class and there isn't much separating the guys at the top.

What does Emmanuel Sanders think?

If Fields ends up actually playing for Pittsburgh, which is possible, it turns into a fourth round pick. So there's that...

We're talking about giving up a sixth round pick and the Bills have more late-round picks than they could possibly roster, so I don't think that's much of an impediment.

A good 40 time even with a terrible 10-yard split supports the idea that Franklin's got "another gear"...right?

I think it's possible. JA and Fields have somewhat similar playing styles. Trubisky has already proven that he's a barely adequate backup, so the bar is pretty low. I don't think Fields on his rookie deal is a very expensive backup, although honestly, I'm not sure what hit he's going to have on Pittsburgh's cap...

I think it happens a lot with guys who are well-liked within an organization. Ryan Bates is an example.

I haven’t heard, but it would not shock me if the Bills were interested.

If you watch the tape, Franklin’s constantly running away from defensive backs, even when they have the angle on him…he has another gear.

I have to believe Franklin's film is as good as anyone's outside the top 3 guys...and it's not like he ran slow at the combine. 4.41 ain't bad...
