And from what I hear that is two we know about..... I was told by a journo from another market that people are sniffing around his past and there is a pattern of behaviour. Interesting. That would definitely cool me on him. The Bills have met him a ton, right? They presumably are trying to work it all out.

Ha! I mean he was awful last year. I think he needs a HUGE step forward in 2025 to win a starting job. It is possible. He missed an entire camp and that hurts a rookie. I just am a little sceptical whether it is likely. So I don't know where that falls on the Hail Mary - Our Father continuum.... but I suspect upper range?

They did but at the moment I have only seen that one single report. Which you have to remember is in lying season. If there are others out there it might be a warning to stay away.... but for now the people I have spoken to the one guy I think I'd say "no way" to based on character is Mike Green.

I just worry a lot about that offensive line. I think it has the potential to be bad enough to sink the offense and that will keep them in the 6-8 win range at best. But let's see what they look like post draft.

Proven backups and a hope and a prayer for big improvement from Bishop. That is absolutely the state of the safety room.

Yea he never took a visit here last year. Now it is fair to say we had less than zero dollars cap wise at that time and we have a bit more wiggle room now.... so that may have been a factor. But equally if there was minimal interest last year and he is a year older and was okay but no more than that this past year with Atlanta I'm not sure I see a move.

I would HATE this.

He showed he can run straight as well as anyone. For sure.

It is Gilmore or White in my era (since 2002).

Yea that makes sense too.

I love his tape, probably because it so fun and unusual. But my original grade which was a low 2nd has been modfied down in my second go round of tight ends. I have somewhat reluctantly moved him down to a mid 3rd and TE4. But in every class you have guys you just actively root for. He is one of those for me this year. I see him as a time share tight end in an offense where the #1 is kind of all athleticism but questionable production. Fannin matched with someone like that could be a productive duo. Seattle (with Fant) or Denver (with Engram) if they pass on a TE at #20 make sense to me.

Agree. One of the most fun watches in the entire class.

Love him. Great pick.

Don't worry. None of you 'mericans use proper English anyway

Yea I have heard DJ say it. I disagree with him. I'm not going to say "time will tell" though because I think that would be disingenuous as the easier usage is to be full time at corner and get a package of plays at WR (hard to do it the other way around) and so I think the likelihood is we will not get a chance to see his ceiling as a full time WR.... which means it is hard for those on your side of the conversation to be proven correct, which doesn't make you wrong... just means I think we probably won't get chance to find out.

This is probably a tad early, I think he is more early day 3... but he does have a chance to sneak into the back end of day 2. He is my 101st player by my board. A pocket size version of Brian Branch who I loved a couple of years ago when he came out. I suspect like Branch he ends up a nickel corner rather than a safety in the NFL. But someone is gonna be really pleased they picked him a couple of years from now.

Like if someone took him before Hunter, Carter or Ward (who isn't a better prospect but is a Quarterback) I think they'd deserve criticism. But before anyone else.... yea I'd struggle to crab it in this class.

I take that point to an extent. But this top 10 isn't like many other top 10s. The opportunity cost of a stud running back isn't that high this time because there just aren't that many must have guys in this class. I think it is a decent draft with some good depth in spots. But it lacks top 10/15 types.

Yea obviously DE and CB/WR have higher position tariffs and so they do have that separation but Jeanty is a stud prospect.

I think there are three. The third is Jeanty.

That's another great pick. I disagree with you on Banks as you know but I like Williams a fair amount too. He is in my top 50.

Best player remaining. Great pick.

To be clear I totally agree with this half of the post.

Individual meetings, sure. But when a team puts that focus on a position does normally indicate they are at least considering it as an option. For example, is Starks was head and shoulders their BPA at #30 I think they'd take him.

My preference is for them not to use a high pick on a safety. I wanted them to do more in FA last year at the spot and more in FA this year at the spot... instead of yet more middling rotational DL last year and two DL this year who can't play until week 7. But when they did spend the pick they selected a player I liked (although I had Bullock and Hicks higher). I'd like to think they wouldn't spend another day 2 pick but as another poster noted the consensus top 3 safeties all met with the Bills at the combine (they met 6 safeties total). That says to me that it is at least an active possibility for them.
