I def think Phillips is worth the risk even with his injuries. Solid haul I like getting Josh some high quality weapons! you got it gunner! This would be a great draft Ok everyone, I should be able to swing back before the draft. If anyone wants to help and quote any one else’s submission (and mine) I will appreciate it! Good luck and talk to everyone tonight

Sorry for the delay everyone, thought I’d be able to work on this today during lunch but got caught up. Gonna start quoting now, good luck! 1. Jacksonville Jaguars Trevor Lawrence QB Clemson. Duh 2. New York Jets Zack Wilson QB BYU Such a Jets choice 3. San Francisco 49ers (from Houston Texans through Miami Dolphins) Justin Fields QB OSU Everyone is protesting too much with Fields. He is the second best QB in the draft, the 49ers will make the right call 4. Atlanta Falcons Kyle Pitts TE Florida With Fields gone, interest in a trade up will be less. Arthur Smith gets a versatile weapon for his offense. 5. Cincinnati Bengals JaMarr Chase WR LSU Bengals are going to take the playmaker first and then upgrade their lines in subsequent rounds. 6. Miami Dolphins Jaylen Waddle WR Alabama Miami’s front office gets a lot of credit for fleecing the Texans despite quite a few blunders. Trading back up to 6 backfires when both Pitts and Chase are gone. They take the lesser of the Alabama receivers. 7. **Trade**Los Angeles Chargers Penei Sewell OT Oregon The Charges trade up to get the top tackle available and former college teammate of their franchise QB. 8. Carolina Panthers Christian Darrisaw OT Virginia Tech Many expect Slater to be the second tackle taken, I think Darrisaw is a lock as the second tackle off the board, even if it’s not here. Panthers need CB and Tackle, I think they will like the 2nd round CB talent more. 9.Denver Broncos Tray Lance QB North Dakota State New GM will look want his QB. Elway was hammered this year for letting Josh Allen who played college ball only a few hours down the road get away. ND is a little further away but still is considered Broncos territory. They take Lance and let him sit behind Bridgewater and Drew Lock. 10. Dallas Cowboys Jaycee Horn CB South Carolina Cowboys take their top CB after being awful last year. Horn and his exceptional physical skills gets the nod over Surtain. 11. ***Trade*** Cardinals Devontae Smith WR Alabama Kingsberry is trying to win now and jumps the Eagles to select the Heisman trophy winner to take his air raid to the next level. 12. Philadelphia Eagles Patrick Surtain CB Alabama Howie is forced to address CB after his top target is taken a pick ahead of them. 13. Detroit Lions Micah Parsons LB PSU The Lions are rebuilding and so we’re happy to move back a few picks to add draft capital. They would like to move back further but if no one else is willing they will take the top LB on their board. 14. Minnesota Vikings Rashawn Slater OT Northwestern The Vikings need an overhaul of their OLine, they draft the kid from Chicago and bank on him being able to play LT. 15. New England Patriots Elijah Moore WR Ole Miss Edelman was broken most of last year and retired. They signed several outside receivers, Belichick picks who he feels is the best slot receiver in the draft to pair with a reunited Jimmy G. 16. New York Giants Teven Jenkins OT Oklahoma State After proving to everyone that he can move down in a draft, Gettleman attempts to fortify the RT side of his line with Teven Jenkins. Jenkins nastiness will help protect butterfingers DJones and pave way for Saquon Barkley. 17. Las Vegas Raiders Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky Gus Bradley comes from the Seattle defensive model. They see Davis as a potential Bobby Wagner and a necessity to improving a pretty putrid defense 18. Miami Dolphins Zaven Collins LB Tulsa Brian Flores sees Collins as his version of Donta Hightower 19. Washington Football Team Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, ND Riverboat will be looking for his version of Shaq Thompson to pair with his insane DLine. 20. ***Trade*** Atlanta Falcons Jaelen Phillips, DE, Miami Arthur Smith saw first hand what a lack of pass rush can do to a team. They jump up several spots to get ahead of Indy to secure the top edge rusher in the class. The Bears are looking to save their jobs and more picks In this draft will be a calculation that they need upgrades across a lot of areas 21. Indianapolis Colts Alijah Vera Tucker OT, USC After loosing stalwart LT Anthony Castanzo, the Colts select his replacement to protect Wentz who showed real regression last year, in part from poor OL play. 22. Tennessee Titans Asante Samuel Jr, CB, FSU In a COVID affected season, Vrabel leans on his relationships and selects his old teammates son to fill a big gap left in a depleted secondary. 23. New York Jets (from Seattle Seahawks) Terrence Marshall, WR, LSU The Jets are going to try and avoid the failures of last regime by adding playmakers and offense for Zach Wilson to look good. Marshall is the top WR left on the board. 24. Pittsburgh Steelers Liam Eichenberg, OT, Norte Dame Pitt is in desperate need of line help with an old Big Ben and ineffective running game. They would like to take Najee but make the smart choice and take his teammate. 25. Jacksonville Jaguars Kadarius Toney, WR, Florida Urban Meyer will want to play fast. He may see some ghosts of Percy Harvin in Toney. Adding playmakers on offense trumps everything else. 26. Cleveland Browns Joe Tryon, EDGE, Washington The Browns would have liked a linebacker to fall to them. With a pretty stacked roster, they take the athletic freak to play behind Clowney and eventually take his place opposite Myles Garrett. 27. Baltimore Ravens Payton Turner, EDGE, Houston After losing a lot of edge production to free agency, they select Payton Turner to replace. His length and athleticism Are in line with what the Ravens like. 28. New Orleans Saints Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington The Saints are going to work on rebuilding their Dline (amongst the rest of their team). Bigger needs like WR and CB have been picked over. 29. ***Trade*** Miami Dolphins Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson Miami jumps ahead of where running backs look poised to start going off the board. They know Tua is going to be best with short throws and a good running game. Etienne provides both to their team. As a side bonus the packers keep giving a middle finger to their HOF QB with a few good playmakers still on board. 30. Buffalo Bills Jayson Oweh, EDGE, PSU I think Beane will be getting too antsy not to make a pick tonight. As much as I would prefer a Cornerback or Landon Dickerson, I think Beane is looking hardest at edge. This quote stood out to me from him. “You’re trying to grade the physical tools. What is their speed, what’s their explosiveness, can they change direction, can they re-direct?” Beane said. “They’re rushing hard to their left and all of a sudden the ball goes out to their right -- how quickly can they re-direct and get out there to at least force a throw? Maybe they don’t make the sack but force a guy to throw it or get him down before it becomes a wide-open loose play behind them.” Oweh has been denigrated for having 0 sacks this year. In response, others have pointed to his success generating pressures in his game against Indiana. In the end, Beane goes for the athlete who may be amazing down the line. 31. ***Trade*** Philadelphia Eagles Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota Eagles Trade up to get the last of the second tier of receivers after missing out on the top tier earlier in the draft. 32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia Azeez models his game after Shaq Barrett, the Bucs see him as a good rotation piece to develop. Other Bills picks: Second round: Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky The off field concerns may have Joseph off the board entirely, but if he isn’t he really excelled in Kentucky’s zone scheme and has nice speed for across from Tre. Third Round: Bobby Brown III, NT, Texas A&M The Bills know they need a replacement for Star after this year. They take the best athlete NT prospect in the draft Fifth round: Ihmir Smith Marsette, WR, Iowa The Bills want to continue upgrading the depth of our WR position. Marsette has nice versatility and can handle jet sweeps and returns if called upon Fifth round (B): Shi Smith, WR, South Carolina He was pretty sick at the senior bowl, has 4.3 speed. Stuck on a dysfunctional offense, he could challenge for a role as the 5th or 6th receiver. Sixth Round: Tariq Thompson, nickel, San Diego State Someone to develop behind Taron Johnson who will be a free agent 7th round: Chris Evans, RB, Michigan Dart throw on a talented player who struggled at Michigan Like it a lot! I think you’re on the money with Oweh, if he is there Would really like this draft, Dickerson would be so good here. Going for the playmaker round 1! Closest athletically to Tyreek Hill in the draft Haha everybody wondering who would draft a 40+ year old CB Going for the outright win, I see

They want to bring Joe’s kid back home

It all depends on who is left, I think their board will be: 1. Etienne 2. Oweh 3. Tryon If all three are gone, I have no idea.

I’m fine with the Pats playing Jimmy G until something hurts him in like week 5 and then watching Billyboy try to win with Jared Stidham. Recipe for another 7-9 season.

the quote is so wrong though, no one comes in with Josh’s profile (I.e. size speed and arm strength) but cheers on us having our unicorn!

Hey all, the draft is almost upon us. I know many of us are anxiously awaiting it and have spent way more time researching prospects than maybe is healthy. I thought it may be fun to do a challenge to see who can be the most accurate this year. The reward is bragging rights so really just for fun and since there is not much else football related to do. The rules are simple: 1. One person, 1 entry 2. You can enter whenever you would like and make edits to your post as much as you would like up until 12 pm on Thursday when I will start quoting everyone’s entries to lock them in. I will try to accommodate any entries after that time and up until the draft starts but I have a job and a family so unless I am able to quote you to lock in your entry it won’t be counted. Scoring System: Five points for getting a pick right Four points for being off by one pick (i.e. saying Penei Sewell goes 7th but he really goes 6th) Three points for being off by two picks Two points for being off by three picks One point for being off by four picks Zero points for being off by five or more picks This is for the FIRST ROUND ONLY. Since this is our Bills message board you can guess the Bills full slate of picks if you would like. Each correct player guessed will warrant an additional 5 points regardless of which round they were drafted. This will act as a reward for your Bills knowledge and hopefully a tie breaker if it comes to this point. *** Once the first round is done I’ll give us a leaderboard and after we can call a winner I will do so. If anybody wants to be a help me run this, that would be great. Just PM me your interest. The order is: 1) Jacksonville Jaguars 2) New York Jets 3) San Francisco 49ers 4) Atlanta Falcons 5) Cincinnati Bengals 6) Miami Dolphins 7) Detroit Lions 8) Carolina Panthers 9) Denver Broncos 10) Dallas Cowboys 11) New York Giants 12) Philadelphia Eagles 13) Los Angeles Chargers 14) Minnesota Vikings 15) New England Patriots 16) Arizona Cardinals 17) Las Vegas Raiders 18) Miami Dolphins 19) Washington Football Team 20) Chicago Bears 21) Indianapolis Colts 22) Tennessee Titans 23) New York Jets 24) Pittsburgh Steelers 25) Jacksonville Jaguars 26) Cleveland Browns 27) Baltimore Ravens 28) New Orleans Saints 29) Green Bay Packers 30) Buffalo Bills 31) Baltimore Ravens 32) Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bills selections: RD1 - RD2- RD3- RD5A- RD5B- RD6- RD7-

You animals are gonna make me vote for Deonte Brown to try and avoid Nasirildeen

There are always surprise slides in the draft. I think likely you are right and he will fall later than expected. He is a great player but with his size and the depth of WR in the draft each year I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes late first. In the worst of worst case scenarios for him he would go to JAX in the second round.

With the 83rd selection in the 2021 TSW Mock Draft, the Chicago Bears select, Carlos “Boogie” Basham, DL, Wake Forest. The Eagles and @Watkins101 are on the clock. The Bears are very excited to have added CB Greg Newsome, OT Sam Cosmi and DL Carlos Basham. All of which we had graded much higher than where we had selected them. Outside of QB, Cornerback and RT were out two biggest needs and we believe we have filled them with athletic Day 1 starters. Our DLine situation is complicated in that we have Khalil Mack on one side and an underperforming Robert Quinn on the other. We believe Boogie can give us good play early to compliment Mack and grow into a player that can work along the DLine in different pressure packages. Thank you to everyone for a great time!

I hope move back. I think we pick at 30.

We don’t have too many leaks since Beane took over. I could see them liking Levi Onwuzurike. Barmore will likely be gone. Don’t think their is much to take out of this.

Even weak draft classes have players from all rounds and all positions that become great players in the league. I think especially with how weird last year was for all sports we are undervaluing some of the guys coming out.

i agree I don’t like either very much personally but trying to give a little positional diversity

In no particular order: Paulson Adebo CB Stanford Elijah Molden Slot CB/S Washington Nico Collins WR Michigan Richie Grant S Central Florida Jabril Cox LB LSU Quinn Meinerz OG Wisconsin Whitewater Dillon Radunz OT North Dakota State Brevin Jordan TE Miami Milton Williams DL Louisiana Tech Tyler Shelvin DT LSU

With the 52nd pick in the 2021 TSW Mock the Chicago Bears select, Sam Cosmi, OT, Texas. The Chargers and @glazeduckare on the clock. Our interior OL is a strength but as of now our RT position is a question mark. We view Cosmi as our RT with the athleticism to eventually take over as a left tackle. And with our QB1, Andy Dalton, we are going to need a good OLine.

I like Warren Sharps posts, kinda reinforces what we saw watching games last year. Schopp is just so predictable lol

Ohh Mike Schopp

I think most likely one person didn’t want her name to go public and to deal with all the troubles that come along with that rather than a settlement.

Can I write in Creed Humphries?

With the 20th pick in the TSW mock draft, the Chicago Bears select Greg Newsome II, CB, Northwestern. The Colts and @mannc are on the clock. To be honest, the Bears took one more desperate pass at the Seahawks for Russ Wilson to the point that the Commish had to step in to tell them it’s never happening. With that dream gone, the Bears return to their defense where the biggest need is at CB after the release of Kyle Fuller. Luckily for the Bears a talented local kid fell to us at 20. Born in Chicago and going to college down the road in Evanston, Newsome blends athleticism and playmaking that is always at a premium. We are excited to add a premier talent to our secondary and look forward to leaning on our defense and run game this season.

You may be right, if Weaver hadn’t torn his ACL in 2019 I think I would disagree. He wasn’t quite the same this past year but you get him somewhere in round 3-5 instead of 30.

From poking around some draft people that specifically deal with the Cowboys I think you are right that Horn is their preferred pick if Sewell, Slater and Pitts are gone. Id be very surprised to see Rousseau go that high though your reasoning was well though out. And I think in this situation the Raiders probably go OLine Vera-Tucker after gutting their interior this offseason. Not a big Ossai fan for the Bills in that spot. I get the spot you are in though because who really should the Bills pick in that instance? Ossai has some nice traits and the future health of our DE position requires us finding someone that can replace Hughes and Ossai is not a bad comp for Hughes. But I think we probably address DE in the middle rounds with a Weaver or Turner. Similarly we could look at a Creed Humphrey, someone that blows the RAS out of the water (which Bean loves) and is a decorated wrestler (which McDermott loves) and a replacement for Morse who is not long for this team but who can also compete to improve our interior this year. Or maybe he goes for another wide receiver like Rondale Moore who is a special athlete and could slot in behind Sanders and Beasley this year and then step up later in the playoffs and next year. Really difficult projection, I think if I had to in this scenario it would be between Moore or Humphries, then CB in rd2 and DE/DT to follow. Finally great job grinding through a full 32, that’s a lot of work.

Bears, cardinals, giants
