I think you’re probably right.

Trading back is a good idea but not too far. I would trade back to #33–#41 but I would not go back further than that. I like the talent available in the first 40-50 picks but beyond that I question whether or not we’d get an impact player there.

I’m no expert in the matter but it seems cap space is limited.. Think the Bills need to dump salary wherever they can. Obviously we’re not in terrible shape but I think we need to trim some fat in order to extend Josh next year. Josh will cost $38M-$40M/aav I’m guessing.. Jefferson, Butler, Lotulelei and even Hughes need to go. Probably hang onto Morse, Feliciano and Williams for at least another year but overwhelmingly I think the defense needs to be gutted and then rebuilt through the draft.. But yeah, I don’t think Josh will be extended this year. I could be completely wrong but I think we need to free up cap for next year in order to do that.

I think DL is more pertinent than OL.. Our OL is acceptable whereas our DL is not. Surely our OL needs to be reshuffled, but I think we’re a year too early.

Charity is good by principle alone, not greed.

I think his best fit is Buffalo.. We sorely need help on the DL and he would see lots of playing time. Money factors in though. I don’t think McBeane are willing to pay him the way other cities will. I want him in Buffalo, but I’m kind of skeptical it’ll happen.

I think the Bills need to dump salary. Maybe our cap situation isn’t as severe as say the Rams or the Eagles, but we do need to dump salary. Get ready for Josh’s contract and Diggs contract. Save that money for a rainy day. Who knows, maybe a premier FA comes along next year and we can make a play for them? At this point I’m hoping for a plug n play LB in FA and I’m hoping we draft lots of DL and front seven guys in general.. Boogie or Collins RD1 or bust.

Think Collins would be a good fit at MLB. He’s better in coverage than people think and he doesn’t get bossed around by OL, can rush the passer.

You always draft at least one. I’d probably wait until RD3 at the earliest. A hybrid LB/S would be huge for this team, more so than just a straight up corner.

This is why it’s important to know and love the LORD. Time is short. Praise Jesus and I hope greatly for a speedy recovery. 🙏

This is true, but Knox gets open. That’s the most frustrating thing about it. He gets open and then drops the ball. If his hands were better he’d be great (IMO).

I understand the desire to beef up the OL, but we may be a year out from that. It needs to happen, but our front seven needs the love more.

Tremaine Edmunds, no doubt.

Hasta la vista baby.

I just hope we dump just about everyone on that DL. Just take the hit now. Find some plug n play LB in free agency and just reinvigorate that DL with lots of mean n nasty talent through the draft. I don’t like Star, he’s weak. Sitting out the season costed this team big. Take the hit now, clear space for next year and extend Josh Allen. Go after a hybrid LB/S like Kyle Hamilton RD3 and just ride it out. We’ll be much better.

My friend, my friend. Why do you puke at the sight of my mock?! 😆 It’s better than your mock where you take a DB at 30! Also, you know I love Zaven Collins, you know. I love Boogie #1, but Zaven Collins is my #2 guy. He would be a stud MLB. Plug Edmunds outside and go after a guy like Kyle Hamilton RD3 to play the LB/S hybrid role. I got nothing but love for you Gunner. 👍

37. Carlos Basham Jr. EDGE Wake Forest I traded down from #30 down to #37 and added a few picks. Value wasn’t matching need so I figured it’d be wise to go down and add more picks for more value. Basham has all the tools necessary to be a top flight DE in the NFL. He may not even make it this far but I know that he is a sleeper and I could get him here. He can be a 10-12 sack per year EDGE rusher if he lives up to his God given potential. 61. Hunter Long TE Boston College It seems like he has top flight potential. Seemed like a really good spot to add a quality receiver here. Good value too. Big target for Josh, should be in good shape between him and Knox. Think Sweeney may do some damage this year as well, we’ll see. Has top 10 potential. 84. Marvin Wilson DT Florida State 93. Tedarrell Slaton DT Florida I actually have Slaton above Wilson but I simply played the board. This is Sam Adams and Ted Washington all over again. These guys cannot be moved and they are decent pass rushers. May not put up gaudy numbers but they will create pressure. Between Boogie, Slaton and Wilson we would have a young and healthy DL, the sky is the limit for them. Throw them in there with Oliver and Epenesa and we got a young nuclei for dirt cheap. Dump all the expensive contracts and go for a youth movement here.

Leonard Floyd would be a good pickup at the right price. $4M-$5M/yr. Not a full time starter but maybe a decent rotational guy. As far as the draft goes, it’s deeper than just an EDGE rusher being there, obviously Boogie Basham or Zaven Collins would be ideal pieces, but you could go for a LB or DT there too.. Owusu would be great, but probably gone. Could go with Jay Tufele, a very good DT prospect, can stuff the run and provide a pass rush. Can drop down even further than that and go after Tedarrell Slaton or Marvin Wilson. Basically, if the value isn’t there for us at need positions, you trade down until the value matches up. Acquire draft picks for this year and beyond.

Very cool, he would be a great pickup in RD2.

Especially since we rarely play man. We seem to be in zone more often than not. Correct me if I’m wrong. Think the earliest we should draft a corner is RD3. Get a big physical press corner. It wouldn’t make me break my tv. It’s not a stupid approach, but definitely not the approach I’d take.

Problem I’m having is our front seven still remains in shambles. Bear with me, I just woke up and my IQ hovers around zero until I get my cigarettes and caffeine in (not much higher than it usually is when I’m caffeinated). Ultimately I think we should go DL back to back in RD1 & RD2. Ain’t it a shame that Zaven Collins is gone before we pick and obviously I’m beating the Boogie Basham drum hard but if you took him out of the equation and that was my reality at #30 and I was forced to go by your board for arguments sake, I think I’d have to go Najee Harris there. I’m very high on Jay Tufele as well, you have him at #40, which is a nice spot for him. Maybe he rises, I don’t know but I would not be against trading back and taking him at the top of RD2 or maybe even at #30, but it may make sense to wait and see if Tedarrell Slaton is there or Marvin Wilson at #61. I have Tufele considerably higher than both but Slaton and Wilson would be very good pieces on that IDL.

I expect a big salary dump. Could easily see us dumping $15M-$20M in contracts.

For the right price anyway. Barkley is league minimum for a reason.. Trubisky was the second overall pick at one point. Good arm, decent mobility, good size.. His issues are all mental. I think Daboll and Dorsey would provide good structure for him and I think he could win us games if Allen goes down, Barkley can’t do that.. Also think in a year or two Trubisky could get us a couple draft picks.. 2yr $10M/deal? Sure, why not?

Jordan Jenkins may be a decent option, I have no idea what he’ll get but if he came at a reasonable rate I’d be pretty happy about picking him up. Wonder if there’s any budget LBs we can get in the $4M-$5M range that can offer us something like Klein from last year. Thought he did pretty well for us.. I hope Beane strikes gold again.

30. Carlos Basham Jr. EDGE Wake Forest 61. Jay Tufele DT USC Bills go DL. Basham starts immediately on the left side and Tufele is a plug and play player at DT next to Ed Oliver.
