From NFL Draft Buzz with Random set to 1. I like the DT pairing here. Love getting Watts in the 2nd and Strong in the 4th. Good LB depth. Tuten can likely become a 3 down back if desired. And some developmental WRs, TE, and OT/OG later on. Thoughts? PICK: 30 RND: 1 (BUF) Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss PICK: 56 RND: 2 (BUF) Alfred Collins DT Texas PICK: 62 RND: 2 (BUF) Xavier Watts S Notre Dame PICK: 109 RND: 4 (BUF) Dorian Strong CB Virginia Tech PICK: 132 RND: 4 (BUF) Jeffrey Bassa LB Oregon PICK: 169 RND: 5 (BUF) Bhayshul Tuten RB Virginia Tech PICK: 170 RND: 5 (BUF) Kyle Williams WR Washington State PICK: 173 RND: 5 (BUF) Oronde Gadsden II TE Syracuse PICK: 177 RND: 6 (BUF) Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR Tennessee PICK: 206 RND: 6 (BUF) Caleb Rogers OT Texas Tech

you are likely correct. But, that does not mean it's who he should pick. Although here, even though I voted for Nolen, I'd be fine with a CB since DT Grant, WR Golden, and DT Harmon are all gone.

Nolen. There are some other CBs who could be studs available in Rd. 2 or even 4. High-impact DTs are kind of gone after Rd. 1.

I could see that also. Replacement for Cam Hayward who likely retires soon

I think the Steelers will take a QB next year when the draft is in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are stockpiling picks for next year, likely to trade up in a better QB draft. I think the Steelers likely take a WR or OL this year to bolster their team around a rookie next year.

With 25th pick of the 2025 NFL draft, the Houston Texans select: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State. The Texans have a big need at offensive line to protect CJ Stroud. Simmons would likely have been the top OT off the board if not for his kneed injury last fall. Assuming his medicals are clean, this is a great value and need match for the Texans. The Rams @Alphadawg7 are now on the clock.

well, that was the player the Texans wanted. Will have their pick in a second

I’m definitely interested

Funny was just discussing this with someone at work trying to figure out why the Bills and others would be trying to ban it. Colleague brought up same point as you" trying to eliminate rugby-style plays. " I wish they would just say that: pushing another player is not a "football" play. Then ban tush push and that rugby running-scrum where OL pushes runners, picks people up, etc. I'd be fine with the ban if that's the reason. But the total lack of injuries, and having McD as the spokesperson is a bad choice for the reasons you stated.

I'd be in. Sounds fun! Always looking for more active fantasy leagues. I'd be interested regardless, but I agree with all of Virgil's points. in terms of vetting players, perhaps there is a way to remove non-active members (people who don't engage in trades, or lineup changes, or don't log on for a certain length of time?). I run a season long league which is easy, just don't invite back. But not sure the method for dynasty, if ownership transfer is possible.

consider it a gift. If the NBA is on, this is better than having that playing in the background? Overall since I don't watch the NBA, I'm not really a fan of this. Thanksgiving makes more sense for Football. Put football on the 26th instead.

Here is one. The first round pick is puzzling. I get DE, but with DT Harmon on the board as well as WR Golden, I'm not sure you pass those guys up for a DE with potential character issues. Round 2, they go with a 3T DT. Also puzzling. The CB pick in Rd. 2 is the only one that makes sense here. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-mock-draft-2025-7-rounds/1b40b70c0e02597982466b59

injury not due to the play, however: https://www.totalprosports.com/nfl/did-the-tush-push-cause-any-injuries-nfl-data-reveals-no-players-hurt/ (NFL data reveals no players hurt during tush push).

Was it during a tush push or a sneak? Nothing about the "tush push" itself gives someone a wrist injury.

Interesting article here. Basically McD can't figure out short yardage plays despite having Allen against KC. Another MCD Scapegoat, and one that is more detrimental to the Bills than helpful. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2025/4/1/24398423/sean-mcdermotts-support-of-banning-tush-push-may-bite-buffalo-bills-in-the-end?_gl=1*dcw5t8*_ga*OTQxNjE2MTAxLjE3NDM1MTg5NTc.*_ga_2M5GYNY1YS*MTc0MzUxODk1Ni4xLjEuMTc0MzUxOTAxOS42MC4wLjA.
