Let’s bug the kc draft war room. Take all the players they are high on just to pss them off.

I think that when you have Allen at QB then yes, you are a contender. KC has done more with less at WR, and there is no reason why the Bills can survive and thrive without Diggs. We just need to get the work done this offseason, adding young talent, and a few cap casualty cast-offs.

Jared Verse fell to 28 in this mock, which would be crazy..... Then the BPAs in round 2 and 4a were both defensive players. Kinchens is a player I have my eye on due to his connections to the Bills' coaching staff. I'm not sure if heads would explode if we didn't get a WR in rounds one or two, but I do believe that Javon Baker would be a second rounder in most drafts. I ALSO expect a HUGE year from Shakir this season. Not enough to "replace" Diggs (I mean... c'mon...), but he will be a key factor. Loved our FA WR pickups as well so I'm not "scared" if we didn't get a top 5 WR prospect in this draft. I'd PREFER it, but if the draft fell like this one, I'd be pretty psyched. I'd say our PASS RUSH is a GREATER need than WR right now. Von Miller is washed up and can't be relied on. We need a new body, and if Verse was there at 28, that's an absolute no brainer. Sweat fell to 128 due to a boneheaded decision, and I'm happy if he's there in the 4th. I added competition on the interior OL, and picked three safeties to compete. Carlies I think would be SS bound, while Kinchens would compete with Rapp and/or come in for nickel/dime packages, depending on matchups. EIchenberg is my MLB sleeper pick, from a good program.

I'll buy the 25% but only if I can personally make 25% of all draft picks! lol

Haven't done one in a while... I think though, that we will walk away from this draft with only SEVEN picks, so it's tough to do mocks. Expect 2-3 TRADE UPS if we can find trade partners. This team is good enough to not have space for so many rookies on the 53 man roster. FOUR or FIVE could make it, with the rest rolling to the PS. We will without question have a pick in the third round, for example.

Good draft. I’d use the rest of the draft to try to find a pass rusher, OC, and DT. Maybe a linebacker but his group is weak.

If an NFL team has more than 3 freakazoids, that's a good team. I say we have ONE, but my definition of freakazoid is a first ballot HOFer.

In today's mock, I traded down and up and maintained 1 pick in each round of the 2025 draft (i.e. I didn't sell the farm....). I'm all in on Sweat if teams let him slip for one stupid mistake. Remember Laremy Tunsil? Well he's been one of the better Tackles in the NFL for many years now.... Snap Sweat up if he's there at a great value. I got him at 51. Note the SPEED I added at WR to stretch the field with Worthy, and McCaffrey. Added some linemen to compete, some depth at EDGE, a pounding short yardage back, and of course, COOPER DEJEAN who could be a starting safety right out of the gate.

Last one for the day. Used the 2025 2nd rounder draft capital to "spend" and get the players I wanted. Had a lucky trade down to 29 as well....

Did an analysis of the Chiefs' stats... We can beat them with two main differences. 1. Run heavy on them (they have a strong passing D, and weak rush D) 2. Invest in a stellar passing D and pass rush.... Let's play Marty ball.... (Schottenheimer...). Control the clock with a dominant run game and we have Allen's ability to strike deep when they stack the box.. Alternate reality draft:

My "don't panic at WR" draft. I'm honing in on Audric Estime as a short yardage pounder that we need, youth-wise. He's bigger back that would be a nice addition. I'm liking Worthy as a top option due to speed and ability to be that threat downfield. Allen has the arm.... It would open up our passing game more and I think would also open up swing passes and KINCAID, who I see as a candidate for a MASSIVE year. If you're into fantasy.... get Kincaid. Bank on that one.

Haven't read all the posts but just replying to the title. He gets a pass because he built a playoff team from nothing. LP Losman anyone? How about Orton? SINGLE digit win column from 2000-2018? No playoffs? Beane is a very good GM.

"Thirty-one million dead money, a second-rounder next year, and it's a team they're in big-time competition with? That tells you how much they were done with him," Simms said. PERSONALLY, I've always thought Diggs was a POS team mate. Great player, but a ridiculous, selfish, team mate. I can't stand that personality type.

WHEN HEALTHY, he is dominant. Is he healthy??

Now as for draft prospects to replace Diggs.... Give me a few top 10 prospects who will BURN you on the field, but are TEAM FIRST attitude players.

I think he's not a "drama guy", so yes, relief that Diggs is out BUT he must feel some anxiety about the WR room right now. Allen should be IN the draft war room rooting for offensive weapons.....

I vote no to top 8..... but top 15, sure.

THANK-YOU Diggs for the time you spent here. ....but best days are clearly in the rearview mirror and I'm so happy to get COMPENSATION for this move in the form of draft picks in a WR deep draft. Younger, faster, stronger. Let's GO.

He can man up with the Kelce's of the world and at his size, would be able to hold up well I think.

Also, the Bills Secondary Coach Jahmil Addae was James Williams' coach in Miami before he was hired by Buffalo. Inside track on information. It will be interesting to look at ALL Miami secondary draft prospects (i.e. Kinchens....)

Can you post a link to some articles about him or do you just know from experience / as a fan? Article RE: James Williams. Specifically mentions great attitude. Worked out at linebacker but has ball skills of a safety. https://www.si.com/college/miami/football/miami-hurricanes-safety-james-williams-linebacker-senior-bowl-jim-nagy-nfl-scouts-impressed

I've been mocking a bit now, and today I stumbled on a player that is jumping off the page for me in round 4, or therabouts. Listed in some places as a safety, and in others as a linebacker. I'm talking about 6'5" James Williams. As far as I can tell, he played Safety mostly in Florida.

Looking forward to this! Not signing up this time, but will enjoy. Thanks for organizing!

Seeing better and better mocks up here recently! Hope we see something similar on draft day.

This is the second time I've traded up to 22 for EDGE Jared Verse (my #1 non-WR prospect in this entire draft). Also grabbed a top WR, reunited Verse with Fiske on the DL, and rounded out the draft with picks at positions of need (and a TE that I think is a sleeper pick).
