cancel it. build dome.

they should be unhappy and let Bean know it. All this “we want Josh to run less” is absurd when you don’t get him another top WR or top OL help. perhaps, but have to disagree. Even in your scenario, JA can’t be happy with Diggs going off, and JA can’t get Diggs the ball when Diggs is doubled and JA has little time behind an awful line. I think it’s reasonable to assume they are both unhappy, JA just handling it behind closed doors.

and if this happens and Smith turns out like the other DE Bean drafted Bean should be fired. Would hate this pick. Seems like he needs another year before contributing. Get a day 1 impact guy if trading up. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/nolan-smith/3200534d-4953-6848-fd4d-2f73557d06ca he was high on my Falcons list before I traded down. A great pick for PIT who needs another CB.

guy is a stud and has a nasty streak to his game also.

i mean, the Board along with me will implode at D, D, but overall a good draft with offense help coming with Johnson and Patterson and Wheaton Dorian Williams will be a good player. Rather take him in the 4th but seems to be moving up. how does Mingo get an F. unreal. love that pick

Edge is terrible at 27. There is no top talent projected there. There is the option for high end slot, TE, RB, and OL, and if you need D, safety and perhaps DT (Mazi Smith).

I think the Bengals keep Chase, and let the other talented WRs on its roster walk. Minn is interesting. Hock played well there, if he continues on that path, they may part with Jefferson if they feel he provides the bang that Kelse does--on the other hand, Minn needs to find a top 5 QB first. Otherwise, I think you keep Jefferson and a top 20 QB and hope the overall team gets the job done.

how'd Cam's workout look. I know his arm "was" shot, but perhaps a year off got it back into shape.

With the 8th selection, the Falcons select Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech. The Falcons were last in the NFL last year in QB pressure rate. That has to change. Wilson is a guy who can help immediately, and still has room to grow into his ceiling. I considered RB Robinson here because the Falcons love to run the ball (at a rate of about 51%!), but Patterson was great for them last year, and they do tend to pick RBs later in the draft. Also considered OT/OG, but the pass rush talent falls off quicker than the OL talent in this draft. The Bears @MrEpsYtownare on the clock.

Unless I can swing a trade for L. Jackson, Falcons pick incoming.

Who's Brown (Sidney Brown?). I think this is an issue with everyone at 27: "he'd be great as a 2nd round pick". Would be great to have a few picks at the top of the second. Could get a good G/C (Avila), a LB (Campbell/Sanders) and WR.

wow, lots of snark in your response. (1) Humphrey was rated by many services as the best center prospect in the past few drafts. PFN had him #10 overall on it's big board: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/creed-humphrey-should-be-first-round-nfl-draft-pick-despite-positional-value-centers/ (2) He has the positional flexibility to play Guard, and could have played Guard if drafted by the Bills. Many football services noted that he could play Guard, and a KC Chiefs press release after his draft noted this as well. Not drafting Humphrey was a huge miss by Bean.

great question. If he's there in the 5th, it's worth a flyer on him. Seems like a hard worker, and likely to take rehab seriously.

@Virgil Thanks for running this again. Falcons, Bucs, Raiders. Thanks!

not sure what center went after Humphrey that is an all-pro and can also play guard. Note: we had very weak guard play the last few years.

Dorian Williams, LB Tulane if we don't get Simpson/Sanders/Campbell. Also like Carl Brooks, DL Bowling Green.

Thought it might be entertaining to post all offensive and defensive mock drafts. Clearly, neither scenario will happen, but it gives a good idea of who the BPA or targets may be on offense or defense among us TBD drafters. Here are mine from today on PFN: Offense: 27. Darnell Wright OT Tennessee 59. Marvin Mims Jr. WR Oklahoma 91. Sam LaPorta TE Iowa 130. Jarrett Patterson OC Notre Dame 137. Andrew Vorhees OG USC 205. Aidan O'Connell QB Purdue Defense: 27. Bryan Bresee DT Clemson 59. Mazi Smith DT Michigan 91. Darius Rush CB South Carolina 130. Jammie Robinson S Florida State 137. Dorian Williams LB Tulane 205. Dante Stills DT West Virginia

I don't know. The DL seems to be a victim of poor drafting/asset allocation: drafting Groot in the 1st (a decent player, a number 2 DE, not an impact guy by himself), then Basham, another #2 DE, a year after drafting AJ are huge misses.

did Campbell pick the top 10 last year in their exact spot, or just who went in the top 10? Either one is impressive.

not neglect, just incompetence like with the DL, which ironically contributed to missing on all pro C/Gs.

Bean and the Bills brass have shown an ability to both be: (1) bad at drafting, particularly on the lines; and (2) stubborn in admitting an error and correcting it.

fair point. But who else is out there at this time? Right now we have a worse DL than last year because we are missing a key rotational player. Not sure we will draft one better because we need to focus on OL, WR, LB, S.

Milano may be that guy. Or one of our safeties (Hyde) agreed that without improving the OL everything else falls apart. Our line is terrible/average at BEST. Let's get JA a top line, watch how much better the passing game and everything else becomes. I don't care if it's a TE, OT, IOL--hopefully all three. We could get a top OT in Rd. 1, a C/G in Rd. 2, and a great TE in 3.

Let's get back to talking about Hopkins. Neither OC we have had has been good enough, IMO. Neither has the talent building around JA in terms of secondary WR, RB, and OL--that's totally on Bean as he failed to improve the pass rush while bypassing all-pro OL in the process.

Today's PFN version. Haven't seen Cam Smith available at 27 before. 27. Cam Smith CB South Carolina 59. Steve Avila OG TCU 91. Jonathan Mingo WR Ole Miss 130. Bryce Ford-Wheaton WR West Virginia 137. Dorian Williams LB Tulane 205. Max Duggan QB TCU
