No_Matter_What

Well but if this is the case then this wasn't Beane's best moment.

I feel underwhelmed since I was sure we were picking Booth. I am gonna trust Beane and McDermott on this one just feels weird. What I really don't like is that we gave up 4th rounder. I understand the reasoning but for it to make sense we needed to have Elam much higher than any next guy. Something just feels off. Anyway, since Elam is a Bill now I will root for him. I am going to read through this thread and hopefully there will be enough of you happy with this pick to make me excited.

@GunnerBill, can Ravens take Booth?

If Booth and maybe Johnson is there, don't answer those calls. Otherwise go for it.

A little. I liked Johnson too. But Penning man...

Wow what is going on lol

It hurts me to see Chargers getting Penning.

Is it me or draft couldn't have gone any worse for the Bills so far? EDIT: Saints trade may change that.

Don't worry Seahawks are close they will spice it up.

This means nobody called or that they didn't pick up the phone?

Lol you won. Well done.

Oh "chip on the shoulder" strikes again. Hate that phrase.

Lol Walker it is.

Travon Walker? I'll see it when I believe it.

Ok that is certainly possible. Really depends how they see those OTs and how risky they find that Panthers trade down. Agreed. I didn't realize that there were no trades in this mock. If those guys are falling Bills might be active. This is what I am worried about. I'd hate if Chiefs somehow jump us and take somebody we wanted to draft. And that is certainly possible given how much draft capital they have. I just don't want them to get some top WR or another top player who will be falling because everybody else will have different needs.

I think Tremaine Edmunds would be ecstatic if we drafted Hall. Imagine how less attention he would get from the Bills fans!

Great work as always. My random thoughts. 1. I like how you sorted it out in top 10. I still refuse to believe that Jags take Walker but they are the Jags afterall. 2. I think if top 4 goes like and the Giants want Stingley+OT then it makes more sense for them to pick their OT first and select Stingley at 7. Do you think that Panthers are a threat to take him? Or do you think there is a threat that somebody might jump to take Stingley? That would be costly for a CB. However, if they don't care which OT to take then yes, just take Stingley and let the rest figure itself out (and they still might have chance to choose from them). 3. I like your Smith pick to Eagles. Something like this happens every year and he is a good cadidate for an unexpected jump. 4. If Williams was still on the board at 18 I wouldn't hesitate to offer 3rd round this year and something extra to Eagles to trade up. Same with Saints (which probably wouldn't work if they want him). But Eagles might bite. That is actually one of my dream scenarios. 5. I have a feeling that Cards will do some random selection. It will not be anybody expected. 6. Booth to the Bills at 25 is still my most favorite semirealistic scenario. Please make it happen in 12 hours and 25 minutes 7. I truly appreciate that you let go that crazy idea of Tom Brady Buccanneers drafting QB in the first round you had before However, they imo take either Green or some DL - my guess is Logan Hall. 8. I like who you mocked to Chiefs. They are drafting lot of players high, and if Moore and Mafe is the best what they can do, then great. I am afraid that they will do a lot better in real draft. 9. Cincy takes Kenyon Green if he is available. I doubt that they take corner if they can bolster OL by a prospect expected to go higher. 10. I love Lions picks. I wish them the best, they deserve some success. Hutchinson + Watson? Yes please.

Wow after watching this I want us to draft Garrett Wilson. What and nice and well spoken guy (other two are also very fine).

Yeah I immediately knew this was just badly disguised Edmunds thread!

What's up @GunnerBill. Still trying to figure out how to avoid mocking us Breece Hall at 25 huh?

Yeah good morning everyone. Here in Central Europe it is 12.45 p.m. right now (Noon), so draft starts at 2am. Another night without any sleep Usually I take day off next day but this year I am switching jobs soon so I don't have to work at all. Draft is better than Superbowl and Christmas combined. Really looking forward next 3 days. Good thing is that I am always optimist when it comes to Bills so I'll get excited even if we draft Breece Hall I always try not to get attached to specific players so I can't be dissappointed. That being said, give me somehow Jameson Williams or Andrew Booth. Go Bills!

Ok I just checked final mocks on NFL.com. Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks, Charles Davis, Maurice Jones-Drew and Peter Schrager are all mocking Breece Hall to the Bills. That leads me to a conclusion that in no way, shape or form are Bills drafting Hall at 25. That is just not the way Beane operates. There is absolutely no chance that all these guys can guess correctly what he will do. I love how good he is in creating smoke. I am ready to eat crow I am wrong but I won't be.

Granted I have no inside information but I can imagine that all those talk about possibly taking Ettiene was just smoke and mirrors from Beane (and yes it includes luring Ettiene into thinking he could be drafted by the Bills). That allows other teams to consistently think we are high on RBs and that we want to draft one high, and then do something completely else like we always do. I think we will see it this year. Hall will be there when we pick, and we will not choose him. Instead, we will (in absence of better options) choose someone like Gordon or Hill. I am not saying that we will never draft a RB high, but Beane is NOT drafting a RB who is around 40-45 on most boards at 25. There is a great chart in another thread how in general overdrafting players in the first round usually pans out. Beane is just too smart for that. We will see.

His contract details are on Sportrac. 1,750,000 cap hit 400,000 dead cap https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/david-quessenberry-12458/ So not a minimum contract like Hart, Mancz or Boettger. Seems like he has a bigger shot on making a roster. Right now I'd say it looks like Dawkins-Saffold-Morse-Bates-Brown with Quessenberry, Doyle, draft pick and Ford/Mancz on the bench.

With the 27th pick in the 2022 NFL draft the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Zion Johnson, guard, Boston College. Bucs had two main priorities heading into this draft – DL and IOL. We were strongly considering DT/DE Logan Hall, but at the end of the day, the need to protect a 67-year-old QB and surprising availability of top-rated guard prevailed. We lost both starting guards this offseason – Alex Cappa followed the money to Cincy and Ali Marpet retired while in his prime and, to the big surprise for a couple of his ex-teammates, he doesn’t plan to unretire. We filled one hole by fleecing Bill Belichick, and Zion looks like best candidate to fill the other. Johnson is durable, smart, great teammate and excels in both pass pro and run blocking. Don’t tell anybody but the plan now is to trade up to early 40s for Hall. The Green Bay Packers and @NewEra are on the clock.
