Here's a good place for that. They keep a lot of info and update it accordingly. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2024/03/nfl-draft-2024-buffalo-bills-top-30-visitors-zoom-meetings-and-private-workout-tracker.html%3foutputType=amp

The Poyer family as well. Here's the thing with athletes. As long as a fan base is worshipping then it's the best and smartest fan base in the world. The nanosecond that a portion of the fan base starts saying "Player is getting older and less productive" it's a different story, even if it's the truth. I think many players get locked into the thought that people are fans of a team because of them, when in reality it's the opposite. I'm a fan of the player because they play on my team. When they're done in Buffalo I don't follow them to another city.

It's been unpinned! FREE AT LAST!

🚨BREAKING NEWS: The New York Giants are listening to calls about the #6 pick.

Keon Coleman. I think his Combine sunk his stock a bit with the draft community. But watching the tale he plays very fluid and smooth I see some Mike Williams in him and he's going to EAT in the red zone. That said, he's not a match for what I feel Buffalo should draft.

Giants Commanders Bears Please. And thanks again for hosting the draft!

I think he'll still be a day 2 pick. Some teams don't care character concerns if they can find a deal. As you pointed out, Philly showed last year they're cool with it. Kansas City and Cleveland come to mind as well. If he goes to a team with solid leadership and not much on the party scene he may overcome. Miami or Las Vegas...he may be out of the league in 3 years if he can't get past the demons

He's also been a 150-160 target guy in Buffalo. I don't think he sniffs that in Houston. With Dell, Collins and Shultz also in the pass game, decline or not his target share will likely drop. If healthy I see more of a 75-80 catch, 750-850 yard season.

He is a player in decline. How much remains to be seen. Last year we saw some things out of him we really haven't seen before. The drops. Not just against KC but he had a lot by his standards during the year. Lack of concentration? Declining skills? We will see. He also took himself out in some key spots last year. He didn't take himself out as much as some make it out to be. However some of the places he did (such as some key 3rd downs) was surprising for a guy that "wants to win" more than anyone ever in the human race (as his supporters make it out to be). IMO, he was either hurt or had checked out. And though he had some injuries I believe it was more the former than the latter. We'll see how he does this year. I'm betting he doesn't crack 1,000 yards

Trade him to Arizona

I've never had the opportunity to sit in an interview with the kid. I've never hired anyone to look into his past. I've never had dinner with him. That said, being he's a complete stranger I cannot with factual information say if this is a one time mistake or a pattern of behavior behind the curtain. What I can say is that lack of restraint leading up to one of his most important days of his life shows poor judgement. It makes one wonder if this is how he's behaving with the Draft just ahead of him...how does he act when he's here and has "made it"? Would obviously be a situation to dig into his background....but it's a horrible look for him.

I've wanted this guy the whole draft process. This COULD be what gets him to slide to pick 69. This could also be a reason Beane takes him off the Bills board completely.

With the 70 pick of the draft, The New Jersey Football Giants select: KAMREN KINCHENS, SAFETY, MIAMI (FLA) After shoring up the WR and QB spots in the first 2 rounds, we turn our attention to a defense that needs some serious upgrades. We were VERY tempted by some of the RBs still on the board, but will attempt to address that in later rounds. We love the versatility Kinchens offers. He can play a true safety role, he can play up in the box and pkay a "big nickle" role. He displays toughness and the smarts that we like in a safety as well as playmaking ability; coming away with 11 turnovers over the last 2 seasons. While his combine numbers and speed were underwhelming, he entered the off-season testing cycle at or near the top of the list for the position. We feel that he is a ballplayer and will show up and show out with the pads on. @gonzo1105and the Arizona Cardinals are on the clock.

Agree. And I feel we have seen that potential with Kincaid. Year 2 I think he'll not only take steps forward, but Brady will have a much better idea of how to implement him and help him grow in his system. He had a very big 1st year by rookie TE standards. I expect a breakout if health hold up

Cooper and Cooks both had some really good moments last year. Now they have to get through this year and will be yet another year older next year. At some point a dropoff can be expected. I think that day is soon for both. A 1 year Emmanuel Sanders type contract? Possibly. I think ultimately, both Jefferson and Lamb are signed to large large deals with their current teams. And I think eventually, the Bengals loosen up the purse strings and get Higgins under contract. But like you point out, even if push came to shove the trade price for any of them would be way too much for my liking. Especially since in addition to the picks each of them will want to reset the WR market, or in Higgins case maybe be real close to it.

Yes, solid right now. Out of that group I think Cooks and maybe Cooper make it to FA. Neither are really that tempting in 2025.

Agree. It's time to build up for that next run and the way you do that is by adding young talent through the draft at smaller contracts. Why anyone would give up draft assets for a WR with this class staring them in the face is truly baffling. If WR is deemed that big a need..take 2 early. Josh showed last year he no longer needs that big name target hog on the outside as a security blanket. He played his best football last year by being able to spread the ball around IMO. Lean into that.

Man, that's like lining up a Corvette and a Lamborghini next to each other. What could go wrong.

You...you find Stef "pretty"?

It's not that I think he will "slide". It's what the reality often is between the draft expert community and actual team boards is typically pretty different. We tend to hear "Player X is the #4 WR" and then other" experts parrot that enough until it becomes thought of as a common fact. WR this year will come down to the eye of the beholder. And even though Thomas is talented the odds that another team may see more upside in another player is there. Add in, the teams see the medicals. They talk in person to the draftees. They do background checks and look into things on a whole different level than just watching the film.

Maybe not as much of an overdraft, but I think at least 1 of the WRs people see as late 1st early 2nd may go ahead of Brian Thomas. On the flip side one of McCarthy, Penix or Nix will slide way further than most mock drafters want to believe.

One thing is as true in sports as it is in regular life. Time marches on. This isn't to say that Morse, Poyer, Hyde and the rest won't be missed. As a matter of fact we lost a LOT of guys that wore that "C" on their chest at one point or another here in Buffalo. This year will be about who steps up to the plate and takes leadership. Josh and Milano are both more "quiet leaders". But who is going to be the group guys turn to? I remember when we traded for Rasul Douglas, there were a good portion of guys on that team that pointed to his leadership. I expect him to step up an one guy. Taron Johnson spoke about being more vocal this year. But we will need some young guys to step into those roles as well. Knox? Maybe Bernard? Rapp?

This seems like an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Also Diggs thoughts: I am sitting at my fashion show in France wondering why my quarterback isn't working his tail off during this off-season. While I get a workout (reminder to post parts to social media as proof) in between the vast media appearances I do in the off season to make cryptic comments....what is Josh doing? Why is he forsaken me? I just cannot believe the lack of accountability that surrounds me. Surrounds the organization. Also, I must be quicker in the locker room after a playoff loss...the press almost found me last year. Thankful that Bass tied them up so I may make my yearly escape to darkness. Why has Joe Brady made me less important in the offense. Also, who put grease on the ball? Gabe was right. These things are tough to catch. Who knew?

I think Kitchens in this spot would be firmly in play with the hiring of his DB coach from Miami. Lots of Intel on him at OBD right now I'm sure.
