I’ll guess: vs DAL SNF vs MIA TNF at PHI MNF at KC SNF at NYJ MNF

7 WR’s Diggs Hopkins Davis Hyatt Harty Sherfield Shakir

that’s what makes the draft so fun…anything can happen

Not that we should be reactionary….however there needs to be more urgency from Beane. Impactful players are missing on offense

Post your Final Bills Mock Draft. Trades permitted. Feel free to edit up until the Draft begins. 27. (Trade) -> AZ (+ 2024 Conditional 3rd) -> BUF WR Hopkins + #34 34. WR Jalin Hyatt Tennessee 59. DT Gervon Dexter Florida 91. RB Kendre Miller TCU 130. OT Warren McClendon Georgia 137. C/G Jarrett Patterson Notre Dame 205. LB Isaiah Moore NC State

unlikely. They are now an instant SB contender with a nasty D and strong RB

Please No Safety that high. We have 3 starters at the position.

seeing a common theme: Ole Miss. Mingo would be a strong selection at 59

Oh wow, what's the injury concern with Washington? Maybe he'll fall and we can get him in the mid rounds

Well the chances of us getting JSN, Flowers, Addison or Hyatt just went up a bit Also... why can't anyone decide on Robinson's first name? Is it Bijan or Bijon

I'll take your word for it then. I'd be open to him at 59. I don't think the value is there at 27

Or keep Cook and you have the best backfield in the NFL

This was a few weeks ago....may have changed?

Then at 34, select Hyatt and suddenly you have 2 WR1's, a very good WR3 in Davis and a lethal deep speed rookie. That 4WR set would create A LOT of problems Imagine stacking Diggs & Hopkins to one side...then throwing deep to the other side where Hyatt beat the CB and the S was caught watching Diggs and Hopkins

Coming away with Washington and Hyatt would be a home run to me

Ah yes, you've made my Big Board of another certain list....

Shakir, while I like him...is not a guarantee to take a step forward. I love the Harty signing, but his injury history is a caution flag. Sherfield could really compete for WR3... for me, I want the top 4 to look like this... Diggs ______ Hopkins / Other Accomplished NFL WR via trade Davis ______ Rookie (JSN/Addison/Flowers/Hyatt/Mingo) This would create a ton of competition and put us on the high end of offensive weaponry It's on the outer realms of reality....but certainly would get Bills Mafia very excited for the season

Is Peter King ever right about anything Bills related?

To me, it seems like there are a lot of players Rounds 2-4 that can be plug and play though

He hasn't met with any teams. No thanks on Downs

First time I've seen JSN make it to 27

Joe B seems to think a Trade Up for a WR is likely 6) Who fits the profile this year? Luckily for the Bills, that specific type of receiver makes up most of the top prospects. And in the first round, it boils down to four who should be a legitimate option at No. 27. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ohio State – He mainly played slot receiver at Ohio State, but possesses the skills to move outside. He’s an outstanding, nuanced route runner with the shiftiness and agility to punish interior coverage defenders. At nearly 6-foot-1 and 196 pounds, the biggest of these four. Zay Flowers, Boston College – Has experience playing both the perimeter and inside at slot, but at 5-foot-9, he’s the shortest prospect of these four. Flowers was an outstanding downfield target who’s a lot of fun to watch his speed of getting in and out of his breakdown. He is excellent at gaining yards after the catch, too. Jordan Addison, USC – Addison mostly played the perimeter last year but mainly played as a slot receiver in 2021 at Pitt, so the versatility is there. He is right there with Smith-Njigba as a route runner and gains instant separation. Stylistically, Addison runs his routes similarly to Diggs. The troubling factor is that he weighed 173 pounds at his Pro Day. Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee – The biggest projection of the four but with a legitimately high ceiling. Hyatt mostly played slot receiver and needs to develop his full route tree, but he comes from the same offense that yielded Davis, which could concern the Bills less than others. Like Addison, Hyatt is smaller at 176 pounds but has better deep-field speed. If I had to rank them from a Bills’ perspective, I would probably put Smith-Njigba as the top prospect because he’d be an instant impact as their primary slot receiver. Flowers and Addison would rank 2A and 2B, as both could be excellent contributors in 2023. Either one would be worthy of a move up the board. Hyatt comes in fourth only because he’s more of a projection, though not far behind. But the Bills may have Hyatt a closer to the other two based on their comfortability with the college offense. If the Bills stayed at No. 27 and those first three are off the board, I would not be surprised if Hyatt is the selection. 7) What about TCU’s Quentin Johnston? You may notice he’s missing among the above fits, but it’s because he doesn’t fit that versatile role we laid out as cleanly. Johnston isn’t as shifty as the others and, because of some tightness, doesn’t seem as suited to playing slot receiver as easily as the others. His best fit in the Bills’ offense likely would be in the Davis perimeter role, and the Bills may want to keep Davis for the long term. But if they were trying to find a replacement for Davis past 2023, Johnston would be in the equation. 😎 Why the Bills may need to get aggressive once the WR run starts Even though the top receivers may lack a high-end prospect, that doesn’t reduce the receiver need of teams ahead of the Bills. Early in the pre-draft process, Smith-Njigba was going off the board as early as No. 11 to the Titans, but that has slowly been pushed down with some of the really plugged-in draft pundits. The thought-provoking Peter Schrager of NFL.com had Smith-Njigba off the board at No. 15. In his most recent mock, The Athletic draft expert Dane Brugler had Smith-Njigba being the first receiver selected at No. 20. The Bills will obviously be in a much better spot if the run starts at Brugler’s projection. But the one thing they have in common is picks 20 through 26 being a hot spot for receivers getting selected. So if the Bills want one, they might need to be proactive — and we all know Beane tends to get antsy in the first round. 11) So then what are the ideal trade-up spots that meet cost and logic? This is a layered answer, because it all depends on who is available. If Smith-Njigba is still on the board at No. 20, that would be a potential spot to target because the Seahawks may want him, and the Ravens could be interested. Seattle has a long history of trading down on draft day, too. The Chargers would be another spot to target either Smith-Njigba or the pick of the second-best wide receiver if the Chargers wanted a tight end above all else. They’d still stay ahead of the Bengals at No. 28, while the Jaguars and Cowboys aren’t as big of threats to take one. Plus, the depth of the tight end class could help. But the higher cost might be prohibitive if the Bills are moving up for the second-best receiver. The Ravens likely aren’t moving off a pick for another team to take a receiver. The Vikings and Jaguars don’t seem immediate threats to take a receiver, but the Giants are, which makes the Jaguars at No. 24 potentially the ideal trade-up spot to target. It would cost the Bills to drop 30 picks from No. 91, but that’s an entirely doable cost to potentially secure the second or third-best receiver in this year’s class. But if they don’t want to chance it with the Jaguars, the Vikings have only five picks this year, and would likely be very, very willing trade participants, potentially with the Bills getting a better value on a trade than usual. No. 23 or No. 24 looks like the sweet spot of any Bills draft day trade up.

+ his top end speed is elite. He clocked in at 22.1 mph on a 50 yard completion which is 99 percentile. He also has 10 3/8 inch hands
