Bills will trade up...and still take Etienne. Bills will trade up a second time and get back up into the 4th to get Tommy Tremble.

This ☝️ 3 firsts to go from 12 to 3 shows just how unrealistic it is for the Bills to go up high enough to land Pitts. I’m not convinced you need to go up that high for Pitts as I don’t see Atlanta taking Pitts at all at 4, but it’s gonna need to likely need to be a top 10 pick to land him still and that’s still going to be an immense price to pay from 30. I am all good trading you, but also don’t want to mortgage our future either by giving up multiple firsts we are going to need to keep restocking talent once we have paid Josh Allen.

JP had all the tools and none of coaching or development needed to hone it. I’ve often wondered if he could have had a much better career had he been drafted somewhere else. Glad to see he is doing so well though

I just have this feeling Rochelle is going to be a Buffalo Bill when this draft is over and I am also really hoping he is. This guy has Beane pick written all over him. He’s probably the best small school DB prospect of the last decade and has all the measurable you want in size and speed. He is an athletic beast too. He dominated FCS competition and has great hands having started as a WR snd showed those skills with 10 INTS in 27 games. He also isn’t afraid to get physical and is a good tackler. His measurables and resume would have him a probable first round pick had he gone to a big school with that production. Given, it’s still a small school with lesser competition, but he dominated at that level which is what you want to see. He’s going to need developing and coaching up given he was dependent a lot on his superior athleticism going against lesser competition. But that is another reason why we are an ideal landing spot for him as well, and honestly probably the best landing spot for him. For me, I think he would be an excellent 3rd round pick for us, but I also would not be surprised to see him come off the board earlier given the premium on corners in today’s NFL. Personally I still think he will more likely goes in 3rd or maybe 4th round given how good and deep the CB class is, so snagging him with our 3rd seems like a good spot. Or if there is another player there Beane has higher on BPA and goes another direction, wouldn’t surprise me to see Beane trade back up into the fourth if he’s still there too. I HAVE NO INSIDER INFO ON THIS...just my opinion only based on that he seems like a Beane and McD kind of player and that the fit here is ideal for us and him. I can really see him being our pick in the 3rd.

Question: Why do people keep listing WR as an immediate need? I dont get why thats an immediate need right now

I agree with you...however the one thing I would say is that Josh Allen had some wow moments and started to also shine down the stretch of his rookie year showing great growth. Coming out of year 1 the arrow was pointing way up. This off-season, Tua doesn’t have that kind of optimism as he didn’t really do enough that made anyone feel like this kid is for sure how he future. But like I said, I agree with you, they need to give him time and the a better cast first before anyone starts giving up on the kid. He has a ton of upside for sure

One, if we trade for Ertz it would only be if we reworked his deal. Two, I said the package would include Ertz, not necessarily be just Ertz. They could throw in a late round pick to lower the cost... But lets also look at that word "cost"...we are literally talking about 7 draft slots lower. It doesn't mean we gave up a real third round pick, its literally moving back 7 spots and I am sure Beane would only do so if they were confident there are guys who will be there 7 spots later they would be happy with too. So I have seen this "3rd round" pick cost over and over again when I suggest this, but its not true in that sense. Thats a theoretical value, the real trade is moving down simply 7 spots. Thats it...its not like we actually are giving up a 3rd round pick.

Beane's Cliff Notes: We could trade up, we could trade down, or stay put at 30 where any position outside of QB, K, or Punter are on the table with the 30th pick as long as they are the BPA on his board. So in other words...DUH everything is on the table 🤣 All kidding aside, my thoughts: The only RB I think he would take at 30 is Etienne. There are guys he think could slide into the 20's he might be willing to go get for the right price. And, he sees the 5th year option that comes with the 30th pick as increasing the value for a team to trade up and anticipates offers to be on the table when they approach their pick, assuming we haven't ourselves already traded up. Call me crazy, but I still think a trade back with the Eagles at 37 still makes a lot of sense where the trade package includes Ertz if Beane doesn't covet someone when on the clock at 30.

Well this makes me happy actually because Rams are my second team...a very distant second team compared to my love of the Bills, but definitely my second team. I would have much preferred to see Bojo stay here after the season he had last year though. Then again, prior to last season, he had been wildly inconsistent, so who knows if he will be as good this year or not. But his last season here was pretty great.

With the 86th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select: Tay Gowan, CB - UCF Having landed our QB of the future, given him some protection and a new weapon, we stuck true to our board again here and taking what we see as a CB with great potential. With only one year of college football under his belt after sitting out the pandemic, his one year was quite impressive and we feel he will only continue to grow. And we realize we need all the help we can get in our secondary with studs like Allen and Diggs in our division. So we are quite excited to see Gowan still on the board and gave consideration taking him with our previous pick too. @Dont Stop Billeiving and the Steelers are now on the clock!

Valid point as well. But my personal philosophy is take the best player when you are on the clock as you are not sure who will be there when you are next up. So for me, needing to protect the young QB is top priority and I would take the guy I am the most confident in as a prospect. That may very well be a CB for them at that pick, just for my humble opinion AVT is my guy. Yup, and thats why he is one of the best GMs in football

I don't disagree with you, but I also think AVT is that much better than anyone they will get in round 2, so its more to do with how high I am on him than anything.

His market is low now, it’s not going to be any higher next year at 32 after playing out his deal as the #2 TE on a bad team with a developing QB. He wants to win, this is a good deal for him. And I do have some inside info that is exactly what his top priority is, playing for a contender.

I am personally quite high on Vera-Tucker and his versatility. Nothing is more important in developing a you g QB than protecting him. And you can’t fill every hole in one draft, so as a GM you should prioritize the development of that QB. They are going to likely have a top 15 pick again next year, you can always draft a CB then if you didn’t find one this draft. So I think the Jets must invest in making sure they give Wilson the best chance to succeed. And for me, I think Tucker is too good to pass up at 23, if he’s still on the board even. Especially with his versatility. That being said, I definitely fully agree that CB is probably the only other position they look at with the 23rd pick, or at least should be the only other position. So won’t surprise me to see them go your route and go DB there and look at OL after. But, AVT is who I would target based on how the board is expected to fall right now if I was the Jets.

I think a team friendly 2 year deal is worth it personally.

I understand where you are coming from, but the market has proven really low for Ertz. Right now, a reworked multi year deal with a great organization contending for division titles and Super Bowls with a MVP candidate at QB is going to look like a real nice place to be for him. So I think he is going to be very interested to do that.

Well as I said in my post, he would come with a reworked deal, meaning not a one year rental. I can see is taking back a day 3 pick, and I certainly would expect Beane to try and get that as well. However, I’d be comfortable still without it. We are in a SB push this year, I think the reward here outweighs the risk of a simple 7 spot trade back.

Im secretly praying Alijah Vera-Tucker falls to us at 30 personally. But I honestly don’t think he makes it past the Jets at 23 as they look to build up the line to protect Wilson snd avoid the mistakes they made not protecting Darnold. I think he is going to be a beast at the next level and his versatility will be something McBeane will love. If he is there at 30, I bet they run the pick in. Since I don’t expect him to be there, I’m hoping one of the big 4 at CB slide there, although I unfortunately also think they all more than likely come off the board ahead of our pick too.

I don’t know what’s worse: The OP actual post Or all the people here who fed this troll 9 pages of dinner

I am not enamored with the players projected to be on the board at 30 personally. But then again, the board never falls close to as projected, so there still could be a great fit for us at 30. But assuming there isn’t an obvious pick there, I would say try and trade down with Phi to pick up Ertz. Bills get: Zack Ertz and the 37th pick in the draft. Eagles get: 30th pick in the draft. We move back 7 spots and land Ertz and rework his deal. That’s more appealing to me than taking another 3T DT at 30. Personally I also doubt that happens, and I think we will take BPA per usual and I expect that to likely be a CB or someone on the OL.

I don’t disagree with you, but this draft did not fall very realistic either before my picks. The defense is in way better shape than the offense, especially the mess of an OL IMO. They just flushed a ton of assets down the toilet they used to draft Darnold because they didn’t support him. My target at 23 definitely included DB, but at 23 the DBs I had graded higher were taken in this draft. I’m certain the 23rd pick will be either OL or DB depending how the real draft falls. And there were a ton of DBs taken by the time the 3rd round pick came around, so went for the OL again as I didn’t see one worth taking there. And they need the help on the line. And you took the DB I was gonna take in the third the pick before me too

With the 66th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select: Jackson Carman, OT/G Clemson. Doubling down on doing the opposite of what we did with Darnold, we are adding here second new prospect along our OL to help protect our new QB. Carman brings versatility as well to our OL as we see him projecting into a potential starting guard at the next level after a successful college career at LT. We see a lot of potential for him sliding inside to guard, but with the versatility to backup our starting LT Becton if needed. @RyanC883 and the Houston Texans are now on the clock.

Call me crazy, but I have a hunch 10 years from now Wilson is going to be the best QB from this class. Not saying Trevor will bust or anything, but there’s something about Wilson that just makes me think he has some of those intangibles you can’t teach...things that make guys like Allen and Mahomes special. As a GM, I think there’s too much pressure to take Trevor, and it’s still a great pick. But honestly, if I was the Jags GM I would seriously be tempted to take Wilson. Sucks that the Jets are gonna land Wilson.

No one can

With the 34th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select: Travis Etienne, RB Clemson We here in the Jets front office would like to extend a huge thank you to Le'Veon Bell, whose greatest value to our organization was teaching us its utterly stupid to over pay for a RB in the FA market, especially a slow one with a bad attitude. Not to mention, after ignoring the OL for years. With that lesson in hand, we landed our main target on the line with our second first round pick, and now we are excited to add this exciting prospect to our roster and give our new QB Wilson a real weapon and support to work with. His two way ability as a runner and receiver is everything Bell wishes he still was, but with way more speed and less attitude and more work ethic. In the war room we are popping bottles after landing all 3 of our top targets at all of our first 3 draft selections. Secretly, we are still nervous here as we are still the Jets and know we are just as capable of messing this up still, so fingers crossed. @GunnerBill and the Atlanta Falcons are now on the clock!
