Chaos

Based on NFL.com grades, NFL.com estimates 15 tight ends will be selected in the draft. 10 of these players have grades suggesting they could be selected in the first four rounds. Based on PFF grades, PFF estimates 12 tight ends will be selected in the draft. 8 of these players have rankings suggesting they could be selected in the first four rounds. The are ranked by NFL.com grade, and the relative ranking within postion for PFF for Tight Ends shown in the right hand column.

NFL.com calls them guards. Avila can be chosen in this poll: https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/246549-building-an-entire-draft-boardoffensive-guard-rankings/ Neither NFL.com or PFF ranks someone as likely to be drafted in the first four rounds. Attempting to first build the first three round board, so Patterson is not included

You say you understand setting up a board, but its clear you do not.

It seems clear that no consensus is likely to develop among TBD posters. Bills seem to be in an awkward situtation. At this point either trading up to 11-15, in an effort to get one of the top 3 OTs or any trade down scenario seems preferable to staying at 27. Sadly, the Bills can't really control this.

Very interesting to me, that only Jalen Carter captures the attention of people as a DT worth of #27.

Hopefully not.

Honestly this makes no sense to me. I don't think you answered the question anywhere of whether 10.7 million of cap space is worth more than a 2025 third round comp pick in any direct way.

Proving unpoplular opinions can also be asinine.

We are likely shifting to a 4-1-6 strategy this year, with Milano as our only lineback. Look for the Bills to add depth at safety and CB in the first round.

Well, we still have Ed Oliver on the Dline.

todays best effort so far

He is a wild card.

Is your view, that if Christian Gonzalez or Brian Branch somehow falls to 27, we should automatically skip them?

As the original post mentions, the top four posiitions identified as targets were WR, G, OT and LB. Only 3% identifed TE as a need (and it was a multiple choice question). That is why TEs are not included. Sometimes when building a consensus, you don't get your way.

so far the consensus is that 75%+ of people will be annoyed. This seems about right

The Bills McDefense scheme is exposed and must be completely revamped.

Almost 100% agree, because in the right trade, it seems you could still get one of those three and something else. I prefer Campbell to Simpson though.

what you read is superceded by what can be measured. And the fact is Campbell is faster than any LB the Bills have now. That is logical. This seems like a good draft for TEs.

Campbell is not slow. In fact he is fast. HEIGHT: 6-4 (89%*)WEIGHT: 249 (83%*) HANDS: 10 1/4 (79%*)ARM: 31 7/8 (41%*) SPAN: 79 (90%*) FORTY: 4.65 (C) (67%*) SHUTTLE: 4.24 (C) (66%*) 10 YARD SPLIT: 1.59 (C) (70%*) VERTICAL: 37.5 (C) (85%*) BROAD JUMP: 128 (C) (96%*) THREE CONE: 6.74 (C) (96%*) BENCH PRESS: DNP

You answered the question "what are you disagreeing with?"?

this is fantasy, but it seems to hit some needs:

That is exactly my question. What is optimal? If Oliver at 10.7 makes the team the best it can be with that money, then you don't trade him for nothing. If an replacement is available for $3 million and you can you 7.7 million to sign Bobby Wagner, then maybe trading Oliver for nothing would work.

@GunnerBill what are you disagreeing with? It is a question.

NFL.com ranks Hyatt as the top WR. That seems like an outlier ranking, but makes him a person of interest too me. This is a rational analysis.
