Aj Brown Andy Isabella Parris Campbell DK In that order for the 2nd round pick

Well I don’t think these first 6 picks could have gone much better for Buffalo...

So difficult to enjoy the draft knowing this poor guy is going through this... We all die, but I can’t help but tear up at the thought of having to leave his young children behind. Prayers are with you Pancho, praying for an “Andy Dalton curse breaking” miracle. And even though I know you’re not reading this as I’m sure every waking second is being spent with your wonderful family, hopefully you can take some solace in the fact that the greatest fan base in the world will do whatever it can to look out/take care of your little Pancho Billas. If we can generate all the money for the charities we have as a fan base, there is no doubt in my mind that we will go above and beyond to help out your family, and most importantly make sure the memory and spirit of Pancho Billa lives on as long as their is Buffalo Bills football. Your strength and courage in the face of overwhelming adversity is truly an inspiration on a level that can’t justly be put into words.

This would be an awful move. Impact players can come from all rounds of the draft, giving up early picks to land an interior lineman while your WR Corps is definitely still amongst one of the worst in the league is just a bad move. They need to move down, acquire an extra 2nd atleast, then move back into the 1st and grab a WR. I agree DL needs to be addressed, but this class is deep and this would be like trading up for Sammy all over again in a draft class loaded with premium talent at the WR position (Evans, OBJ taken after him in the 1st, Adams, A Rob and Landry all in the 2nd)... They had a great FA, but I think you have more of a chance at finding players to help you win if you have more choices in the first 3 rounds rather than putting all your eggs in one basket like the last regime did with Sammy. There are lots of quality DL to be had in the first 3 rounds, don’t Whaley this draft.

Lock in Montez Sweat at 9 if this info is true about him being misdiagnosed. I don’t think they will trade out of that spot if he is there.

Dang you're right. Miles Sanders is on the list but doesn't count towards their 30 bc "Penn State is their home market", so they only had 29 visitors listed... Good catch, I wish he wasn't on the list, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt if he is the pick.

Someone on this list - Bills 30 Pre-draft visits Remember, Allen and Edmunds were both pre draft visits last year, so Buffalo's 1st round pick(s) are most probably one of the 30 mentioned here... Beane trades down, selects Sweat, then uses some of that haul to move back into the first to take Metcalf, Brown, or Harry. Judging by the visits, they are definitely committed to upgrading the DL, WR, and RB positions as they have visited with quite a few 1st and 2nd round prospects at those positions. I think they will take OL if they can get one at the right value but definitely won't reach after everything they did to address it in FA, and Taylor/Little are the only two OL with 1st/2nd round projections with whom they brought in for a visit. Judging by the list* (which is incorrect as Brian Burns was a visit, Rumblings missed it), J. Williams, and Hockenson aren't on their radar.

If he's not on this list https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2019/3/22/18269766/2019-nfl-draft-buffalo-bills-top-30-pre-draft-visit-tracker-rumors-notes then I don't think the particular player is on Buffalo's radar for the 1st round. Josh and Tremaine were both pre-draft visits last year, and I think that is likely to be the case this year. Burns I don't think is in consideration at 9.

Both Allen and Edmunds were pre-draft visits. Burns and the frequently mocked to Buffalo Jonah Williams have not been reported to visit One Bills Drive.

Montez Sweat- trade down with Redskins, so they can jump ahead of the Donks for the best QB available. AJ Brown- trade back into the first, get the best overall WR and the all important 5th year option. Both guys have had pre-draft visits, whereas I did not see Jonah Williams or Brian Burns on the list, but perhaps they got all they needed at pro days/combines on those two?

If they are buying into “this is a playoff team”, and will have the cap to acquire FA’s next season like they did this year, then who cares if they give up what would be a late 1st for arguably the best player in the draft???? That’s ridiculous. I would be all for this if Buffalo gets THE top player in the entire draft class. Giving up next years first which I’m sure Beane is hoping is atleast in the late 20’s considering the roster he has put together, and some extra late round picks the Bills have to spare doesn’t seem like a terrible price to pay to move up from 9 to 2 if they think Williams will be the piece that takes the defense from very good to elite.

If last year’s draft showed us anything, it’s that Beane definitely likes players with elite physical traits and trusts his coaching staff to take elite specimens like Allen and Edmunds to mold them into elite NFL players. For that reason alone I believe Metcalf is definitely in play at 9. Not my preferred choice at 9, but it should hardly shock anybody if D.K. is a Buffalo Bill come Thursday evening...

They likely see a player with some exceptional, unteachable intangibles, likely a 6th-UDFA, who they feel could have potential at the next level with the right coaching. (See Foster, Robert). I think it’s the common sense approach to take, load up on the guys with the intangibles you can’t teach and see how many can absorb good coaching and take their play to the next level, that’s how you find those late round gems. Especially when you already have most needs met, worst case scenario the player usually contributes in some capacity on ST. Besides, everybody’s gotta eat.

Oliver at 9, then jump ahead of the Pats and grab Fant at the end of round 1. not that I don’t like Joe B’s draft, just not sure Hock lasts til 15.

It makes sense to try and trade back into the later part of the 1st if you are really high on a player, because you get the 5th year option if things pan out. I could see Beane following a similar train of thought, especially this draft with an abundance of picks and coming off a very active FA period. The draft will be about quality > quantity.

So there no chance Josh Allen falls to 9??? I can’t be the only guy hoping we draft a Josh Allen in the top 10 in consecutive years.

If they trade back with say Houston for Clowney, then sure grab a TE, but not if they stay at 9. TE is just too much of a risk that early. Granted plenty of prospects at all positions don’t live up to their potential, but TE’s rarely make an immediate impact. Even Vernon Davis who was regarded as a can’t miss prospect, drafted 6th overall, took 3 full seasons before the light finally went on. He had more receiving yards in his 4th season than his first 3 combined. Ebron was another more recently who never looked the part until getting to a new team and being paired up with an elite QB who throws 50 times a game.

Still have needs on the Edge, DT, OL (both G and T), OLB (that can cover and spell, potentially replace Lorax), TE, WR (Zay is garbage), HB (upgrade over Ivory, Gore and possibly Shady after last year), CB (K Johnson is injury prone, one concussion from it being a career for him, T Johnson coming off injury), and I would like a QB to replace Anderson after the debacle last season. Find a prospect who is a poor man’s JA, not sold on Barkley either after just one good game. Point is this team still has plenty of areas to upgrade, no need to squander draft picks. We will undoubtedly see some maneuvering. Could he trade up? Sure... Will he? It’s just as likely that he trades down. Btw, that’s 10 positions, if you count both G and T. Hopefully there is a couple more signings before draft day to give them even more flexibility, but those 10 spots should be addressed one way or another still.

I see the XFL in his future.

I swear life is just the Truman show... I mean seriously, the Buffalo Bills are going to be what finally does Drumpf in??? Would be a fitting end I a suppose to what is easily the most bizarre presidency ever. Surely this would be enough to lift the curse and get us back into the good graces of the football gods.

Clowney is also only 26 still, and Ansah is... 30 something? Nobody seems quite sure about that. The injury concerns seem a little overblown however, last year was an issue, but Ziggy is one year removed from a 12 sack season, and last year was the first season he played fewer than 13 games. If the price wasn’t egregious, I would prefer Clowney, but if Ansah can be had on a reasonable deal (nothing longer than 3 years with an out after 1-2) it would still be a great move to solidify the pass rush and provides more flexibility on draft day.

Well they clearly won the offseason... but it’s still Cleveland, they’ll figure out a way to “Browns it up.”

Harder to find a really good C than it is to find a productive RB... Buffalo should just be drafting 1 RB every year, from the range of rounds 3-5.

I don’t think Beane ever even considered dropping a bunch of $$$ on a malcontent at the most easily replaceable position in the game. I hope the Jets dropped a boatload on him like Mosley. Might be homer glasses but I think Beane has done a much better job than the clown in Jersey (who probably shouldn’t even have one) and is now spending profusely to try and make up for his shortcomings.
