He was atrocious last year. I don't want him back. Unless there was some unknown injury, he fell off a cliff fast.
That said, I'm betting sometime the week before the draft he's re-signed to the Beane special...1yr $2M deal.

Emeka isn't very likely to go top 10, this would be like when they took Clelin Ferrel 4th overall...and they don't have those kinds of people in their war room now. I do very much think Jeanty is in play or someone in the trenches. But I would be stunned if it was Emeka. And I know its the "Raiders", but they got real people in charge now not Gruden and a mock drafter at GM like they did when they took Ferrel, who was such a reach Gruden said pre draft they were going to surprise some people at #4.
I don't disagree with you on many of your points. Jeanty there wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact, I think that's probably the actual pick in that spot. Especially with how much Carroll likes to lean on the run game. That's where my own bias came into play where I personally could not pull the trigger on a nongenerational RB that high.
Once I decided to go with a weapon the options came down to TE (and they are good there) or WR. And as I said, I personally like other WRs better, but often it comes down to who fits what teams want to do best as to where and when they are picked. I see Emeka as a natural fit for that offense more than someone like Golden. Teams rate players different based on system all the time
When you talk about where a player is rated and if it's a reach, remember, people largely base that off a generic scouting report not team specified due to system. One teams #1 WR may be another teams #4. Or vice versa.
Many who talk "reach" base it off guys like Mayock, Jeremiah, and Kiper (and the rest)'s generic list and their mock drafts that are typically nowhere close to what plays out on draft day. And anyone who cares step outside the conventional "group think" about a prospect is bonkers.

The New York Jets are proud to select Armand Membou OT.
Shadeur Sanders was a consideration however bookend tackles and we will look for our franchise QB in the next 2 years
Good pick. And intriguing how far Sanders falls now. He should make it to the Saints at 9. And if they pass it could be a deep drop. Seattle at 18? Pittsburgh at 21? Rams at 26? Those being the most likely IMO.

With the 6th pick of the 2025 NFL draft the Oak...uh ..Los Ange...er...LAS VEGAS RAIDERS SELECT:
Emeka Egbuka, WR, THE Ohio State.
There were so many picks here I could have made. The Raider roster is just that void of talent. Had this been a draft with trades I would have included myself in the growing list of teams willing to trade out!
Ashton Jeanty was strongly considered and knowing how Pete Carroll loves running the ball, it wouldn't shock me if he is the pick here. However if I'm picking a RB in the top 10, he better be legitimately 'generational'. Jeanty is in the very good to potentially great category just below that IMO. Finding a RB can wait in this draft. It's deep. A WR? Now there's some value.
Sanders here would make some sense as well, however I hate the destination for a player with maturity concerns. And I'm not convinced there isn't a QB that can be had later or next season that has just as much upside
And while personally I like other WRs more than Egbuka, namely Golden and McMillan, I see a Temu DK Metcalf/JSN hybrid with Egbuka. Something I think Carroll won't pass on if WR is the pick. Is 6 a reach for him? Absolutely. But no franchise has the reputation of reaching for players that the Raiders do...no matter who is making the pick.
The Jersey Jets and @DJBare on the clock.
However with how often their fans cling to that Super Bowl III win, we are unsure if they can tell time.😂😂😂

I think only the Raiders will be dumb enough to take a RB in the top 10. Especially in a draft with a lot of RB talent. With there only being roughly 16 players with first round grades, it would dumb to not take one of them and get a RB later. Hence, the Raiders.
As the Raiders acting GM in this one I resent that lol
I already have my pick made. Just waiting on Jacksonville. But it will shake some up for sure 😉

With the 4th pick in the TSW 1.0 Mock draft, the New England Patriots select Mason Graham, DT, Michigan.
GM - We were in a tough spot watching Carter and Hunter come off the board before our pick. In a trade draft, we would definitely been open for business. We have need at WR, but there wasn't anyone with value at 4. Graham is the consensus best overall defensive interior lineman in a deep draft, so we are happy to build up the trenches for our new defensive minded coach.
The Jaguars @TPS are on the clock
***TPS has until 10am tomorrow morning to make his pick. The draft runs from 9a-10p. With it being almost 8p EST, he has that time. However, if people want to make picks throughout the night, that's entirely up to them.
I like the pick based on them not being 100% on what Barmore will be next year. Can't have enough in the trenches.

Kid was so stupid. And don’t pretend the Bills won’t curtail his reps. It only makes sense to get Davis and Johnson more involved! Not gonna be a fun season for Jimbo…
If he does any kind of hold out/hold in he may make it harder on himself then he should have. Common to see guys coming out of that situation suffer from soft tissue injury that hampers them for chunks of the season as well.

I'd go with the uniforms they used when they opened the stadium in 1973. Might as well close it with the same and go with something completely new for their new stadium.
I know those are well liked especially by a lot of the super old timers here...but I cannot stand them
The buffalo standing there is just so passive looking.

We have a punt competition coming to TC. LOVE IT

Waste of a draft pick. Unless teams are dumb enough to run right at him he’s not catching anyone.
I like the kid from Oregon and FSU for Buffalo. I think the big Michigan kid will be gone by 30
If we draft him wait til the TC reports of him chasing down Keon Coleman...

Weird. WTH could this have been about. Eagles clearly want to keep it, im very much assuming we do as well??? I cant see how this topic would get heated
Heated conversation can happen when 2 people agree. There's no saying what was said. They could have all been calling Green Bay an ####### together.

Just going off the words I see here my impression is:
Next off-season Beane will be saying James Cook has Earned the right to test the market.
I believe that Douglas has a floating offer from the Bills on his agents desk with a "expiration date". The week before the draft a vet CB will be brought in.
WR is something we are looking at but not near the top of the draft. He's looking for competition and relying on Keon to take a step forward. If we do select one get ready to hear the phrase "We feel he can help out in Teams (special teams) this year."
We have 1 definitely locked in starter at safety in Rapp. And wouldn't shock me if they still view Hamlin as the second safety. I think a lot of hope needs to come from hoping a fully healthy TC leads to Bishop taking major steps and possibly move Rapp to Hamlin's spot.
1T is a huge need. I think we are moving up for one this year. And it wouldn't surprise me if it's much higher than most people may think.
Whatever happens, this board will be on red alert meltdown mode for weeks.

Or he'll tag him and keep him for a 5th year.
Honesty I kinda doubt it. I don't believe Beane has used the tag in his GM career.
Also, if I saw it right the franchise tag # for RB this year was $13.6M. If Beane doesn't want to pay $15M AAV I sincerely doubt he would be into paying $13.6M for a one year deal at the position.

Really good deal at the initial number, will likely be even better once "actual" numbers come out. Even better, being they have access to his medicals, good chance he's looking healthy if they were willing to do this deal now.

Some positive comments from Stefon.
“I really look forward to (playing with Drake Maye). It’s crazy because when you ask around, he has a lot of similarities — people say through the grapevine, he acts a lot like Josh. That was my guy, so I look forward to meeting and connecting with him.”
https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/stefon-diggs-on-drake-maye-im-excited-people-say-hes-like-josh-allenWhen Stef was traded here, Josh contacted him rather quickly. It's been a few days and Stef has been in the building multiple times and Maye still hasn't reached out or met him.
That's NOTHING like Josh.

I am not even sure I’d take Bond with pick 62. I know that just because the Bills met with him it doesn’t mean they are consider him at 30 - I hope not.
I agree about 30. Better players to be had. At 62? Maybe. You can't teach speed and we could use a guy with elite speed. Even as a one trick pony I may be willing to roll the dice there and add an element that we have been missing. Between that and maybe he can be taught the KR game a bit he could have value.

He won't make it to 30 at this rate.
That's a win. Let him jump up the board and shove a DT or EDGE one spot closer to us ...

would be quite surprising if we went WR Bond at 30!It would. Maybe he's in the "Keon Coleman" package of this year's draft for the Bills where a slight trade back and they would pull the trigger top of second round? Or package the 2 2nds and jump up if he's there? I still think high second would be a bit rich for him, but if they are desperate enough....

How far up in the 1st round could we move up with one of our 2nds?

I do think we will be pretty active. While I do believe that you can't believe anything you hear this time of year from a GM, sometimes human nature slips up and hands get tipped a bit.
In the past Beane has always said "I like my picks" when talking about the draft. This year when asked in a couple interviews he said "I like my ammunition". A slight change in vocabulary is notable here. He isn't sitting still.
I think if a guy they love drops in the first they are making a move. If the board falls and several guys grades high stay on the board they sit tight round one and make a move up either in round 2 or 3. Either way, don't walk too far from the TV on draft nights 1 or 2... because the Bills may be in the clock far sooner than estimated.
