Except perhaps Simpson's 1975 season (which he put up at age 28)...

We can only hope...

The Bills have not shown an inclination to take a chance on guys with significant injury histories...

Coleman is a phenomenal athlete who will have a long career in the NFL...people who don't like him seem to be obsessed with his 40 time, which has been shown to have little correlation with NFL success...He's not my favorite WR prospect, but I would not mourn if the Bills were to take him in round 1 or 2.

Don't bet on it...

But why stop at round two? If you look at the even later rounds, you'd get guys like Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs, Tryreek Hill, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nakua, Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Terry McLaurin, Amon-Re St Brown, Romeo Dobbs, Dionte Johnson, Rashid Shaheed (undrafted), etc...

And yet, under our binary system, "not guilty" is the only available verdict besides guilty. So, even a person who is 100% verifiably innocent of a crime cannot obtain a verdict that is more favorable than "not guilty", at least in a criminal trial. FWIW, it's my understanding that a person who was wrongly convicted of a crime can later be set free based upon a showing of "actual innocence", but that's not what we're talking about here.

Semantics. What is the practical difference? Under our system, “not guilty” is the only available “vindication” for someone wrongly accused of a crime. No one has ever been found “innocent”.

The only Bills player who was, for a time, inarguably the best player in the NFL. IMO, the best running back of all time.

Ok, he was found not guilty. Can you explain the difference?

Yep…like it or not, that’s our system.

Is it a Bills football website, or not? Simpson was found not guilty of murder, just like Tyreek Hill was never convicted of domestic abuse or whatever it is that people here constantly smear him with. I don’t see the hypocrisy you’re talking about.

Well, it is a Bills football website and he was the best Bills player of all time, so I don’t understand your point…

With the 12th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Brian Thomas, Jr., WR, LSU. We are excited to be able to add Thomas, Jr after trading back and adding a second round pick next year from a Denver team that probably won’t win many games in 2024. Thomas is the most explosive receiver in this stacked WR class…6’3” guys with insane athletic ability, 4.3 speed and great college production don’t come around too often. We thought about going OT here, but the chance to add a guy like Thomas—and pair him with his college QB—was too good to pass up. We don’t have a second round pick, and we were concerned that we would lose out on a top WR if we waited. @CNYfan and the LV Raiders are on the clock.

No one wants to move back that far, especially in a mock like this one. It’s not at all realistic to think the Bills could move into the top seven. It won’t happen in real life, either.

I tried

Recognizing that Williams is the consensus pick, I tried to trade out of this slot, but there was only one team I was willing to trade with and they didn’t go for it. In real life, I think that trade would have got done if the Bears liked someone other than Williams. FWIW, I don’t think this is nearly as outlandish as Daniels lasting until 11, which is what happened in version 1.0.

That’s fine. I don’t like the player and I’m not picking him for my team, especially when there are other options.

Then why haven’t they announced it?

That’s actually the proper attitude. No one knows, even with regard to the big 3. Few of the highest paid WRs in the league were first round picks…FWIW, I’m warming to the idea of Keon Coleman, regardless where the Bills take him. The guy is a great athlete and a baller, despite his lack of burning speed. I just think he’s going to be in the league for a long time and will be very productive.

It’s what I would do. I don’t think a predictive mock is very interesting or worthwhile. i suspect that Chicago will take Williams, if for no other reason than he is the safe pick…no one will second guess them if they pick him. But I think the guy is going to struggle greatly in the NFL. He holds the ball way too long, doesn’t take care of the football, and I have serous questions about his attitude.

Other than the fact that they haven’t said they are, no. But if I’m the GM, I don’t want Caleb Darnold.

Yeah, OK

With the very first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU. Chicago is not the place for a crybaby with pink fingernails and a pink iPhone protector. Daniels was the most accurate QB in college football, has incredible speed and mobility, and most importantly, has a good head on his shoulders. Daniels’s arm is plenty strong and he is a very quick processor. He is not Justin Fields 2.0. Flame away! Spoiler alert: We’re willing to listen to offers for pick 9. @H2o and the team formerly known as the Redskins are on the clock.

I’m getting on a plane in an hour and would like permission to turn in the Bears’ pick a little early…we know who we’re taking (and not taking)😲
