commercial break is annoying. And how does Draft Diamonds always get these early?

wasn't Oliver the #1 prospect a while ago? What happened? Argument with his coach/injury?

I'd trade with the Steelers or a QB needy team in that case. We should get some good offers. I'd trade with the Steelers or a QB needy team in that case. We should get some good offers.

now we are going to take a OT way too high after Oliver goes to Det, since Sweat is apparently off our Board. Wonder if we trade down.

F you Marrone

WOW. Not get all the Allens!!!!!!!!

What's better than one Josh Allen. Two Josh Allens. Lets get it done!

ok. now trade up and get Allen!!!!

trade up for Allen

?

With the 45th pick, the Atlanta Falcons select DreMont Jones, DT--Ohio State University. @section122, and the Buffalo Bills are now on the clock.

Went with Kaleb. Samuel was a close 2nd, but I'd rather take Jalen Hurd later and get an OT now, esp. since the class may be thinner next year? I think we took Hock in the 1st.

I could see the pick being Williams, but only if Oliver and Dillard are gone. I think we would pick a true tackle first. If the pick is Williams, I see us grabbing an OT like Kaleb McCary or Titus Howard in Rd. 2 or 3.

I like it. And we can designate the 2 hour window with, "At 7pm, the Bills select......". @...... is on the clock unitl 9pm.

I agree, I think there is a bit of a drop off between "elite" talent in the top 11 or so picks, and "very very good" the rest of the first round. Ideally, we grab "elite" at 9, and trade back into the first for someone who is "elite" that falls (Simmons, etc.). We did this last year when Edmunds fell.

I'm in to continue. To speed it up, you could do a 2nd-3rd no trades, or 2nd no trades. could do a 3rd round after the 1st, and then only players not taken are available? Just throwing ideas out there.

Make the pick remotely. come on NFL, get this done!

I was torn between Crosby and Dru as my other pick with Love.

Dru Samia Bryce Love

I can see this. But I'm not too worried about other teams. I think whatever happens before our pick, an elite, game changing, perennial pro-bowl prospect will be there at 9. I can't see a scenario where that isn't the case.

I love Hock, and he will be a great and dependable TE in the league for many years, but I do not see him as a "game changer" that other teams will need to plan for. He is very very good in all TE attributes, but he does not seem elite. He seems like a slightly souped-up version of Heath Miller. The NFL has had such poor blocking TE's for a long time that Hock looks like something unusual. I think he is a very important piece for an offense that is a TE away from elite status. Perhaps someone like the Chargers. But for the Bills, and a top 10 pick, we need a legit game changer that other teams plan around. Someone like Oliver, Sweat, Dillard, etc. A very good TE, and perhaps even someone that the Bills could use more out of the gate, will be available in Rd. 2-5 most likely. And as noted by @Reed83HOF, drafting TE's in the first round usually produces sub-optimal results. I'm wondering if the college game makes certain TE's look better than they will be in the NFL, and hides other TE's with more potential? At any rate, even if this is nonsense, I stand by my first two paragraphs. No Rd. 1 TE for Buffalo.

I'd prefer Deebo Samuel from South Carolina, but I'd be good with Parris. I'm thinking we are targeting a taller WR with some speed. Likely Harris.

totally agree. And Buffalo has an adequate night life, IMO. (and I don't live there). Compared to a city like KC, it's more than adequate. It's like how Jim B recruits players to Syracuse when asked about the weather, he said something like, "during winter you are always in the guy. After the season it's spring, summer and fall." And if a player wants to be "the guy" in a city, going to NYC will not do that. Too many athletes competing for attention. In Buffalo, you can be the guy.

I'd take Sweat at 9. His heart condition did not even stop him from doing the combine, where he dominated. Also dominated in college. Simmons (guy was dominant when healthy), in late 1st. Was Tillery really an early 1st rounder? I'm asking, I have no idea. I hear he has "motivation" issues? Gary I want no part of. He is a classic underachiever. 5-star who did not produce in college. Not sure why he is ever considered a top 10 pick. I don't even want him in the 2nd! 3rd or later, okay.

I think you get the BPA. Both Edmunds and White have the ability to play anywhere. You just don't pass on a talent like White because you have a similar player. We have a dominant LB corp for years with White. Then get a DL (Simmons) a bit later. BOOM.
