I tend to agree. The only time this really makes sense is if you want to reset your cap allotment at the position. You draft a top guy you get a very cheap cap hit for 4 years with a 5th-year option. You figure if they were to draft Campbell, by 2026 Matt Milano is 32-33 and you can pay Campbell if you want at that point and try to find Milano's replacement. When they decided to keep Milano I think it sealed Edmunds' fate. The same idea applies at corner. When Elam is done with his rookie contract, White's contract is up. So you decide if you want to keep Elam and draft White's replacement and rinse and repeat. it is the best way to work the cap imo. You really can't pay both. I would agree, however, that it isn't the best use of first-round picks but is a great and efficient way to stay cap compliant with flexibility.

He opened things up for Ojabo and Hutchinson to have a all the production they had. He's a beast. My draft crush.

It doesn't have to be a 350 lb plugger. This regime values versatility. This would do:

I think DaQuan Jones has mostly been that guy with a little Tim Settle mixed in. If they do go to more of a 4-3 under look which is what McDermott was doing in Carolina, then I think a shade 1 tech is a really important position. Jones does fill that spot for now. Ika wouldn't bother me as long as he isn't drafted too high. Unless you are getting Dexter Lawrence or Vita Vea, who play with ridiculous power and give you pass rush, then you have to wait until later in the draft for a nose tackle. The guy I like is Jaquelin Roy who the Bills hosted for a private workout. Roy kind of pushed Ika out of LSU as he followed Dave Aranda to Baylor. Mazi Smith and Gervonn Dexter also played a lot of 1 tech and are versatile enough to play the 3 tech as well.

Wilson came out with some of the same issues with block shedding a bit. Wilson was the first pick of the third round in a loaded draft class as a smaller school guy. Cambell is bigger and slightly more athletic. Split the difference, he is probably a high second-round pick. Considering where the Bills are picking, they probably have to take him in the first.

I've seen some Logan Wilson comps thrown around. Again, I really like Campbell, brought him up a long time ago and I think he surely has the highest floor, without the upside of maybe a Sanders or Simpson. I think it just depends on what you want to do. If I want a guy to plug a hole who will give me top production on a rookie deal and helps me win a Super Bowl, I am taking Campbell. Perhaps, long term, he isn't the upside investment. But if I am getting Logan Wilson at 27 in a weak draft, I am going with it 100%. Side note, bowl game vs Kentucky, a game Will Levis sat out and Campbell could have totally sat out, he decides to play. His grandpa is in town to watch him play and the night before the game grandpa gets hit by a car and dies. Campbell's parents don't tell him because they know how much he wants to finish things out and play with his teammates, they wait to tell him until after the game. It kind of shows you how important football is to him and his family. I don't know what his ceiling is going to be, but I can tell you that this kid will not fail.

How about this guy? It's close.

There are probably only a handful of guys who can do that deep dive. I know I can't. Then it's just throwing names up. I like the current format.

All you You also wind up really deep diving on prospects at that point, which might be a fun exercise but may also be super difficult for most of us. Virgil usually runs more than one of these though.

Sack the quarterback. That’s how you beat the Chiefs imo.

Yeah I think the overall issue with this trade up is @Sherlock Holmes has no more picks, so won’t be able to draft WR Charlie Jones…maybe next draft.

Totally Drew Sanders

He’s definitely messing around. Doesn’t want you trading up to take his guy. Very tongue in cheek and in other places.

That’s one of the fun things about this type of exercise, it kind of gives an idea of what could be left when we pick. Not super promising!

Would be great if we were running Greg Roman’s offense

I’d rather have Tippmann, personal preference, I just really like his upside and ceiling being two years younger than Schmitz. Tippmann is a Mitch Morse clone and I love Mitch, great fit here. But I agree that Schmitz is probably the higher graded player to this point. I think Schmitz goes in the second and Tippmann late two maybe the third.

Big drop off to those guys imo

That’s what college is. Pickett left and the OC left and was replaced with run first OC, so he went to go boost his stock. Instead of playing with a nobody QB and new OC, he went to go play for Riley and with Williams. Totally the right move.

I gotcha. If he wasn’t injured I would say yes. But with his injury and age, I think there is zero chance he goes 1.

They aren’t likely to trade up. And if they do it ain’t going to be for a guard or RT. C’mon.

Bobo seemed like an interesting rd 6-7 guy until he ran 4.99 at the combine.

He’s also white. That’s his other criteria.

Rudolph went in the third, did nothing, and now is a free agent who nobody wants.

Did you just watch Kevin Costner’s Draft Day? Also, I like Hooker. But he’s 25 and hurt with an ACL. This year is his redshirt injury year. So he will maybe be a 26 year old rookie in 2024, coming off a significant injury. People don’t trade future value for guys like that.

Do you feel there is a huge drop off after the top 4? Are they your top 4?
