I have to get over my unfair biased against Oklahoma offensive lineman after the Cody Ford fiasco so I can give this guy a fair assessment lol

Lol I totally get that perspective because I’ve always thought Love was a huge reach and next year’s QB class is looking pretty special

I will say that I would much rather have Addison than Hyatt and that’s not even close

it’s a small sample size, but the kid looked special and played bigger than he was. They even thought he was 6 foot three when he was actually only 6 foot one. I don’t see that with Addison, so I don’t think it’s a fair comparison, but if we do take Addison, I hope he is even a little close to Justin Jefferson’s level.

Looks like he has amazing hand not hands lol but it just doesn’t look like he’s a natural hands catcher but there also isn’t a lot of tape of him catching balls so maybe I’m wrong

Wait are you talking about Justin Jefferson? That dude was 100% a wow player at LSU. I always said when I watched him with Chase and Burrow that he’s just as good as Chase and more dependable. He also played bigger than he was and looks like it as well. Addison does not wow at all. He’ll be a decent #2 I’m sure but no way is he in the same category as Justin Jefferson in college and will never be where Justin Jefferson is now

Same I’m for sure able to take any remaining if needed

They bite knee caps bro

Lions Seahawks or Texans in that order please. And thank you again.

Man I hope you’re right.

I drool over his potential but as of right now he would be nothing more than a 6th O lineman and red zone specialist because he’s not a natural pass catcher or route runner. I think he can develop and could be a top 10 TE in the league some day but for the next year or 2 when we’re in our Super Bowl prime I’m not sure we want to invest our first round pick on a great blocking TE. If he falls to us in the 2nd then heck ya I’m in

Shoot that would be one of the few ways I’d be ok with taking a DT first round. We take White and then trade Oliver and a 5th to AZ for Hopkins and they eat half his contract this year. It’s fun to dream about a scenario where we get Hopkins and Diggs on the same team with Josh throwing them the ball

Just hope the bills feel the same way. Beanes wheelhouse is the trade so I think he can move back if the board fell like this

With the contracts given out this offseason, the only O lineman that will 100% make the team is McGovern and the O line is in dire need. They will 100% look at O line both inside and outside in the early rounds of the draft and if they don’t then they’re not watching the games the same way we are with Josh having to play hero ball running for his life. I believe (moreso hope) Beane understands this and is going to invest heavily in the offense this draft

I’ve been wondering when does signing free agents stop affecting comp picks. Is it right after the draft?

I like Kincaid a lot too but I don’t want to trade up in this draft unless for a premier OT. Too many good TEs later and honestly the top 10 WRs in this class are all between 2-3rd rounders normally but will be pushed up because of team needs

I’d for sure be fine with Mayer here if the board fell like this. Then round 2 and 3 get the O line and WR. Goes against the grain on what Buffalo has done in the McBeane era but man let’s make this draft about Josh and the offense. Can still pick up some LB and DT depth later and we know LBs can be had post draft on a one year deal if needed. Plus like I said before for all the pro LB folk, Rapp is going to be used in a hybrid LB/S roll. I have a feeling McDermott is going to be creative here and yes thank you Gunner! You’re awesome at this stuff

I like the reasoning that comes with a lot of your picks but even though this is a deep corner class if Joey Porter Jr slides to Ravens he’s the pick. I also understand the reasoning for Bills taking a WR but I would be sick to my stomach if we took Hyatt first round. He just doesn’t do it for me as a first round talent. He’s fast and is good at the deep ball but doesn’t run routes well and doesn’t feel like a first round talent. You’re right that trading down would have to be on their mind at that point with all the first round grades being gone and a lot of O line and WR prospects with 2nd round grades remaining

Dude can play Tackle or Guard. It’s not a wasted pick taking one of the best offensive lineman in a good O line draft. Honestly best case scenario is drafting him lights a fire under Browns butt and he wins the RT job while Wright takes one of the guard spots. Then McGovern and Bates fight for the other guard spot and then when when Morse retires one of them takes his spot if we don’t find someone better in the draft this or next year. Also as Dawkins gets more expensive and older it would be nice to have an heir apparent already working on our line. I hope Wright falls to us and is the pick. He will only make our team better and protecting Josh is priority #1. You can never have too many good o linemen

Man not bad. Probably one of the only ways I’d be ok not taking an OT in the draft lol

I like him too because of the potential and would be ecstatic getting him in round 3 but because he needs refinement with route running he doesn’t separate very well at this point in his career. He has that WR 1 upside but needs a year or 2 learning from Diggs on how to run routes. I want at least one plug and play O lineman before we take him so the highest I’d take him is round 2 if we take OL round 1

Deuce Vaughn

My protect Josh 2023 NFL draft: 27. Best OL available out of Skoronski, Paris Johnson Jr, Wright, B Jones, or Torrence 59. Best OL available out of Schmitz, Tippman, Avila, Bergeron, Mauch 91. Best WR remaining Michael Wilson or Jonathan Mingo 130. Dorian Williams LB, Tulane 137. Brenton Strange TE, Penn State 205. Max Duggan - perfect backup to Josh QB, TCU

Good call on Mazi Smith. Don’t want DT early but I would be as mad at him or Kancey being the pick

Man I hope not. Just nab Cunningham on a one year $1.7 mil contract and call it a day lol. I have a feeling Rapp is going to play a lot of Big Nickel/Hybrid LB for us anyways… I hope Wright or Broderick Jones falls and is the pick but if we have to go defense we better either better trade back for that LB or take a dude that dropped like maybe Kancey who would rotate in for Oliver and eventually be his replacement next year
