Potentially, he does. Or at least into the very back end of the 1st round. Some teams won't even consider him. Jaelen Philips is a fascinating comp. Went early-ish in 1st and hasn't been healthy enough to justify the investment (despite obvious flashes when he HAS been healthy).

Yes I think its a very fair possibility. I had him at 26 in my first mock for that very reason going to Tampa. It would not surprise me if both Chop Robinson and Darius Robinson go in front of him but I do think a contender such as Buffalo or Baltimore could take a shot at him late in round 1 for sure.

Do it … if it doesn’t require more than a fourth to trade up

The latest whispers I think are that there are enough teams late in round 1 who are willing to take the shot (including Tampa). If he got to #28 I'd pick him. I'm not sure the Bills will though.

It's third on my list of priorities (WR, DB then EDGE) but in the mental tiers I'm constructing, Latu would fall firmly into "exceptional talent that you don't pass up if you get a sniff of"

 

For the record, so far those tiers are:

"Not gonna happen unless Beane bets the farm"

"Go up and get him"

"Exceptional talent that you don't pass up if you get a sniff of"

"Nice bit of value if you stand pat, wouldn't mind an overreach"

"Would be fine with at 28, would love in the mid-30s" 

"Move up in the second if you can" and 

"Hit those scouting reports, we're going value hunting"

I would target the Steelers at 20. I'm trading a 2025 2nd (likely from Minn.) to...

 

swap 28 for 20

swap 60 for 51

receive pick 84

 

If BT is there, great, if he's gone take Latu. No way he gets to 28.

 

BTJR at 20  Sweat at 51 or Latu and move up in the 2nd for WR

This sounds like a haul for the Bills. You sure a 2025 2nd will get us to move up 8 in the first, 9 in the 2nd, and a third rounder?

I can't think of many scenarios where I'd be OK with the Bills taking an EDGE in Round 1.  

They draft an all pro pass rusher? Maybe I missed something and we have 2 good edge players.

I mean on draft night until whenever haha, of course I'd be good with that in a few years!! 

 

We've used high picks on Rousseau, AJ and Basham.

Rousseau is pretty good and AJ is coming on strong.....but neither is anywhere near All Pro

 

Using another high pick on the DL is just not what this team needs

I don't mind the pick at 28,  but if they trade up for a guy with those medical red flags,  the board might well be justified for that reaction.

Who cares, it’s a need. They’ve missed, doesn’t mean you stop drafting them. You don’t pass on a good player because you missed on the position in the past. Such a weird draft strategy people have on here.

 

We lack edge players and WRs. Tough position to be in.

I just don't see a place for DL (particularly DE) to make a major contribution this year.   Realistically,  a late 1st probably isn't going to beat out the established veterans at those spots,  so you're drafting depth for this year.   IMO,  they'd be better off drafting two or three of them early on day 3,  fill the depth need,  and re-evaluate after the season.  I think 2025 is supposed to be a better DL draft, anyway.
