why was he not played more? maddening.

I think we could really benefit from Watt. He'd be a difference maker. On the other hand, I'm fine with Sherman, but he's a depth piece. He may (I would be on it even) get beat out by Jackson for CB2.

We'd have a fun team now if we hit on some of these, but then again, so would others. Julio and Adams at WR. But then we don't have Diggs. And if we get Dalton, do we have Allen? But perhaps Dalton not on a mediocrely coached team performs better in his prime?

Sherman only played 5 games this year, so not a huge sample size. Prior to that, very productive. Here is a recap from a new source on TBD main page: "Richard Sherman (33), CB, 49ers Sherman played in just five games last season but is just a year removed from being a key piece for a 49ers defense that reached the Super Bowl. If he joined the Bills he’d be asked to be the team’s no. 2 cornerback next to White. Sherman led the NFL for cornerbacks with 25.3 coverage snaps per reception in 2020."

I would trade this year and next years 1st for him. He's that good. Also, we are likely to be picking at 32 next year if we get him this year.

Sherman is def a Bill this offseason. I was like, "blah, he's washed up," but he seems to thrive in zone concepts and would be a good CB 2, and if he can't do it, then someone please play Jackson, who was very very good in limited playing time.

not a fan of two coaches at the same position. oddly (exception being KC game) we generally had good pass protection but horrid run blocking, and we lacked explosive RB's. I'd say get better run blockers and more explosive RB's. not totally opposed, but seems like too many coaches.

Here is today's with my thoughts--mostly based on analysts reports I've read. Give me yours! 30. Buffalo Bills Jalen Mayfield OT, Michigan (this is becoming my fav pick for Buffalo at 30 if he is available. He can play tackle or guard, and is good against the run and pass. He is insurance against Ford never getting it, and if everyone pans out, there are MUCH worse things than OL depth, just ask KC! (I know we need an Edge, but those are not going to be impactful ones at 30, IMO.). Note, RB Harris was gone or he would have been the pick here. 61. Buffalo Bills Dylan Moses LB, Alabama (do it all MLB, kick Edmunds to outside. I believe he can cover TE's. Physical presence that we need at LB). 93. Buffalo Bills Tyler Shelvin IDL, LSU (yes, here is our 1T. This does several things. Helps solve the run D issues, clears our LB's, and unleashes Oliver and our DE's). 162. Buffalo Bills Rashad Weaver EDGE, Pittsburgh (I think this guy projects mostly as a Shaq Lawson type, with some more sack upside. Not bad for a pick this low). 175. Buffalo Bills Deommodore Lenoir CB, Oregon (guy can play multiple roles in the backfield. I like it. Seems to be able to press, and play well in the zone, which annoyingly to me Frazier likes) 214. Buffalo Bills Jaelon Darden WR, North Texas (according to reports he is speedy, and is a great kick returner. Good guy to pair with McKenzie) 230. Buffalo Bills Quintin Morris TE, Bowling Green (TE who can block and catch. Seems like he develops into a solid TE2).

Hey YOLO, would you take Browning from Ohio State, or Moses from Alabama, Cox from LSU, or Surratt from UNC? You clearly watch more college football than I do (I'm a Cuse and Pitt fan, so um, after week 3 it's usually pointless, haha). Had all 3 available to me in my mock in the 2nd. (see below). Just went off analysist reports. But Browning in the 3rd is a no brainer, IMO.

30. Buffalo Bills Jaelan Phillips EDGE, Miami (really wanted an OT here, perhaps should have taken Clemson RB. Other option was LB Collins, but he seems like a one year wonder to me in a weak conference? I could be totally wrong). 61. Buffalo Bills Trevon Moehrig S, TCU (no way he is available at 61. If he is, he has to be the pick, despite not being a position of clear need). 93. Buffalo Bills Tyler Shelvin IDL, LSU (great 1T DT). 162. Buffalo Bills Chris Evans RB, Michigan (from what I've read, this is a guy who could be a top 3 RB in the draft but had off-field issues. Seems like a good place for that gamble). 175. Buffalo Bills Deommodore Lenoir CB, Oregon (guy has played slot and periminiter CB). 214. Buffalo Bills Ihmir Smith-Marsette WR, Iowa (many feel he will be the "steal of the draft." Let's steal him. He can stretch the field. 230. Buffalo Bills Quintin Morris TE, Bowling Green (Lee Smith or Sweeny Replacement with much more catching upside.)

he has been a HUGE disappointment. Was so happy when we drafted him (and Edmunds). Not sure what happened to these guys. good analysis. I think the issue with Motor for most, or at least me, is the lack of runaway speed. Also, we do need to commit more to the running game. I'm still drafting a RB this year, esp. if Harris is there. But it seems like Bean thinks an issue could be on the OL, will be interesting to see how that's addressed. A versatile guy like OL Mayfield form Michigan could be the answer at 30.

I agree, but it'd have to be a day 1 difference maker at Edge for me, which I'm not sure there are any. (could be wrong). I'd trade up for the LB from ND or the one from PSU, or, if TE Pitts drops past 10, I'm trading up for him. otherwise, when I've done mocks online, (I don't trade), I'm often left thinking, eh, I could trade down here and still grab RB Williams, a great OT, DT, Guard, etc.

would you be required to attend the game, or could I go to the beach instead? to be honest, I'm not worried about the "anti-vax" crowd. They can stay away from situations where they could get COVID.

get errr done Bean! serisouly, didn't this guy have red flags prior to the draft. That said, I think Tenn got him rather late in round 1, so I don't blame them for taking this risk. I think many had him as the top OT in the draft minus the red flags. I'd actually take him on a "prove it" and see if the process/structure helps him.

Cleveland. They have the most money, he also gets to form a dominant duo with Garrett. They have crazy fans who will love him. Buffalo has the benefit of a better QB and he would instantly be the "face" of our defense. Bean would have to sell him on how he will improve other areas of the defense, however. (are we going to still target Yannick, who is our 1T, etc). I think we can have nice things. If not for Cleveland, I think the Bills are #2. We could also land him due to the "process" and McD selling him on a rapid defensive improvement.

do this, and cut some of the dead weight on the DL to get better production on the DL. We really need impactful Edge rushers in FA, followed by TE. Those seem to take time to develop. My dream would be Hunter Henry, Yannick, and Watt. Draft will fill out OL, LB, and RB. I think it's doable, just difficult. Yeah, I agree. I think for most, it's not that they want to get rid of Brown, but they prefer a stud edge, etc.

I’d go OL or LB, or even RB at 30. ppl that can make an instant impact. Heck, I’d take TCU safety if somehow he is there. BTW, when are you doing round 3?! 😜 kidding, this is awesome. Giants getting Pitts is steal of the draft and will make that offense top 15 IMo.

First, this is awesome and thanks for taking the time to do this again!! I like a lot of your picks. I think for the Bills I’d take OT Mayfield in Rd. 1, and hope Surratt is there in Rd. 2. If not, might trade back or grab J. Williams from UNC. In other picks, I have Fields as QB2, and Lance as QB 3. I even think that if the Jets are stuck with Darnold they (or the Falcons) could take a flyer on Lance hoping a year to learn turns him into a Josh Allen type.

agree. DE takes a while, and we need instant impact. I’d get 2 de in FA and get 1 tech DT in the draft. unless a value DE is there later on as a project type. But we do not have the time for a 1st round project IMo.

yes, please. Hudson in Rd. 4. wow. This is a fantastic draft. Today's Mock Draft with comments. Would like any of yours. Used Draftnetwork, no trades: 30. Buffalo Bills Trevon Moehrig S, TCU (was BPA. Figure we can use him as a TE eraser. Although perhaps should have taken a "lesser" OT such as Leatherwood or a OG like Davis at this juncture) 62. Buffalo Bills Chazz Surratt LB, North Carolina (love this value. Milano replacement and a pass rusher) 93. Buffalo Bills Tyler Shelvin IDL, LSU (another pick I love. A 1 tech who can also get after the passer. Shelvin and Oliver look like a dream team). 162. Buffalo Bills Deommodore Lenoir CB, Oregon (CB depth. Seems to be a good fit for our zone D concepts). 175. Buffalo Bills Drake Jackson IOL, Kentucky (interior OL help, backup center. Not sure if he can play Guard or not). 215. Buffalo Bills Jermar Jefferson RB, Oregon State (RB with home run hitting potential and some size (well, weight). 230. Buffalo Bills Jaelon Darden WR, North Texas (WR with home run hitting potential, also a special teams player at returner as a backup).

wearing a raiders shirt? No wonder he had no backup.

Tomlinson!!

thanks. either guy of interest here? From the little research I did Allen looks like an interesting guy to bring in at CB depth.

I can't see either there. If not them, OG Davis from Ohio State? yeah he does. It just seems DE's take 1-3 years to fully develop, with the rare exception. I think we need FA pass rush help and draft at a more plug and play position (OL, DT, LB, RB), but I won't be upset with an Edge pick like Phillips either.

shed some DL, get a 1 tech and Watt. We can draft and have depth to fill in the other gaps.
