We also did mention TJ Sanders as a possibility as well at one of our picks. A strong 2/3 prediction performance and the 3rd being mentioned extensively is good for a debut in my opinion. What do you have for round 4? 

 

I've just posted by day two debrief. I think one of the vertical outside receivers with speed - Royals, Horton, Thornton - with a trade up would be my preference to start day 3. I still think that element is missing from our offense. And while those guys (maybe less so Royals actually) are probably not down in and down out starters, having that option for Josh within our rotation would be nice. 

 

Otherwise I think linebacker looks like a spot with some value mid 4th through to late 5th and if we are sitting and picking I expect at least one of those picks to go at the spot and another corner to come off the board somewhere - possibly a guy they think can backup / eventually succeed Taron in the slot?

Yea I think Horton fits the bigger WR profile the Bills like. Can’t believe he played 5 seasons in college and is only 22

 

I know Bills fans are hoping, would you consider Dolac at 132 or would you be more of the thought of one of those 5ths if they decide he’s a guy they like enough. I think we both prefer either Paul or Teddye

For anyone interested we recorded a follow up last night where @Virgil joined @gonzo1105 and I to talk about:

- how we got into evaluating draft prospects;

- our respective evaluation processes;

- some of our thoughts on the 2025 NFL Draft;

- thoughts about the Bills' draft process and specifically some of their picks in this class. 

 

Again this is not being promoted anywhere else it is just for the interest of people here. So hope you enjoy.

Thanks for having me on, it was a lot of fun!  I think your audio Gunner was much better this time around.  I may have to get a mic for my laptop if we ever do it again.

Giving it a listen now. This is the first podcast I've heard in a while that didn't feature a Manscaped ad read so we're off to a good start.

 

C’mon, we know you are a manscaping fiend……

Listening to you guys talking about the Mock Draft sites reminded me of the Mock Draft thread, and was curious (and a little drunk) to see if any/all of the Bills actually drafted were identified in the first 10 pages which took us just into March... and I was kind of surprised. It turned out ALL of them had been picked in at least one mock, even Kaden Prather (who was taken in 2 in the 4th round). These are mocks in that early range that identified multiple players that the Bills drafted:

 

2/3 (2) @Pete Deone Walker, Dorian Strong

2/6 (2) @Clyde Smith Landon Jackson, TJ Sanders
2/13 (3) Dorian Strong, Jordan Hancock, Chase Lundt
2/16 (2) @H2o Deone Walker, Dorian Strong
2/24 (2) @RyanC883 Deone Walker, TJ Sanders
3/2 (2) @LyndonvilleBill Landon Jackson, Deone Walker
3/2 (3) Landon Jackson, Maxwell Hairston, Jackson Hawes

 

The first player to be identified in the thread which the Bills actually drafted:

 

1/29 @RyanC883 Chase Lundt 

 

(Full Mocky Awards on the Mock Draft thread)

 

Now that I've heard the whole cast it seems fairly well in sync with Bruce Nolan, Marino, other national media and honestly sounds just as well produced and information. Well worth the listen, kudos.
