I like the player. I don't like the player for Buffalo due to what we saw from Dorsey last year. Less than confident he will be used to his full potential. Spending what we are already for Knox and now a 1st round pick is a major investment in a position we haven't seen as a priority position in the offense. Like I said, like the player...just unsure about the usage here. Very willing to wait and see what changes are made to the offense to accommodate such a talented player before I can know if I like the pick. Hopefully, Dorsey has a solid plan in place.

Beane moves up...ABC cuts to commercial. Right on cue.

Thought it was WR or TE for a second when they moved up...but defense was really needing a player for them.

Just wait until week 8 when Lamar is hurt again and he's attempting to catch passes from Huntley

Lots of talk that way. But they also need a lot of help on defense.

Levis looks like he was the red herring QB this year. Saw something yesterday about teams uncomfortable with his personality and him not really being dominate against top teams last year. He may still go at the back end of round 1 with someone coming back up for him.

If the Ravens go WR here THEN I can see Beane getting anxious and trading with Jacksonville. That's if WR was his plan in the first. Still a ton of talent on the board.

I think that girl that read the Seahawks pick could compete for our MLB spot. Possible Priority UDFA.

This is the spot Beane said that they would know if they need to move up or not. My gut feeling with the way this draft is falling is to sit tight. Something good will drop right to us.

I hear they will have some pretty good deals on discounted DHop jerseys tomorrow.

Welp, on the bad side we may not make the big move for the offensive weapon many hoped for. On the good point page 250 is fast upon us. So we got that going for us. Which is nice.

Titans 2024 1st would be in play I would think as well.

I just don't see the sense in this from the Titans standpoint. A year after sending Brown to Philly because they didn't want to pay him they turn around and take on DHop's contract? I get wanting to move from 11 to 3 (If Stroud is there I think that's what they are targeting)...but to take on that contract with what it would cost to move up that far and Hopkins will be pretty pricy...wouldn't shock me if it would cost them high picks this year AND next years number 1 pick. That's a LOT to pay for 8 spots.

Man, they are trading Sandy the same day they release that movie? Nick Jr. is cold blooded.

I swear if the Ravens trade for Sandy Cheeks they will win the next 10 Super Bowls.

Sounds fun. I'm expecting to be 0 for 10...but my hot take picks are bolded above!

Step 1: Trade for Hopkins Step 2: Trade Hopkins BACK to Arizona for Ertz Step 3: ??? Step 4: Super Bowl. Beane plays the long game and finally gets his guy.

I have to wonder if they get a nice package of picks for the #3 pick if it would soften their stance even further of what they would take for Hopkins. I'm sure they would still want what they feel is good value...but it doesn't "make or break" their draft to take slightly less at t hat point to get that contract gone.

Off this list I went with Steve Avila. I would love to have a nice power IOL to add to this OL. Feel like it would bring some nasty that McD is looking for. I get the folks that selected WR, however feels like in this scenario the Bills addressed the spot. Not sure I like any of the DTs at this spot either.

Very solid looking Mock. Well thought out. I think this year we see a lot of unexpected picks. I know we talked about him yesterday and you aren't as sold on him...But O'Cyrus Torrence just SCREAMS Detroit at 18 for me. Even more so if they manage a small trade back into the early to mid 20s. Talk about a guy with Dan Campbell DNA. They have a need at RG and at least there (as opposed to here in Buffalo) he is a great fit for their scheme. He was also one of their top 30 visits...brought in late last week just before visit time was over. Hmm. Gibbs to Philly is a pretty scary thought as well. Great fit. All in all great work as usual. Mocking this year is no easy task. Hope your picks hit!

The Bills got several seasons of high volume play on a cheap rookie contract and will likely recoup a 3rd round pick in the trade in. While it's always more optimal for you to hit on your 1st rounders and see them get a second contract with your team...that really isn't bad value for what they got. Had Edmunds signed a low ball 1 year prove it deal and there was no 3rd rounder coming back...then yeah I'd see your point.

You make a lot of valid and not untrue statements here but I feel like there is another train of thought that proves differently. We have seen teams like the Jets and Dolphins for YEARS throw rosters together with elite free agents. Seems like every big name FA is linked to or signs with one of them. They have elite players...but are not elite as a team. It's a bunch of great players that don't compliment each other with a huge revolving door both at the player level and coaching level. There is a lack of on field leadership and team chemistry which leads to being mediocre. We saw the same thing here in Buffalo under Whaley. Added good players be it a fit or not. The Bills on the other hand have a lot of good players that form to make a great team. Hyde and Poyer are an excellent example of this. On their own I don't know if either reaches the heights they have together. It's that way in a lot of the position rooms. Yes, the team has holes and needs upgrades. But they guys they do have are close and their skillset compliments each other well. That bring them up some levels in my opinion. The pieces put in place here for the most part fit what we do and that makes the machine run smoother so to speak.

I actually know of such a team. The Buffalo Bills. It's not crazy to think that Ed steps up in a contract year. Players have done this forever. Ed does seem like the kind of guy that will show out for a big payday. So if you are Brandon Beane...why would you deal him away in a contract year after investing a high pick and 4 years into his development? If he does step up with a great season it would be in our best interest that he does so wearing our laundry and not another teams. If he prices himself out of Buffalo (which may happen with a good year) we still may see that same 3rd or 4th round pick as a comp pick that people here are convinced he could fetch on the open trade market this season. And frankly speaking I would rather get that pick in next years draft class over this years anyway. The only investment is the cap space this year but even with that trading him won't come without the cost of replacing him...which may eat up half of that amount right off the bat. And going cheaper with the draft just means you're losing more draft capitol to fill a hole you created yourself. I would say it's much more likely to see an Oliver extension than trade.
