Hairston was selected #36 by @TPS / the Jaguars. Can you try that again?

Some of these media drafts are so far out of touch that @Best Williams Available is actually a better strategy...

I think @GunnerBill said something about being on a plane today? It's been 3 hours, so based on Chicago's team needs and his posts, I think I have an idea who he might target with this pick. In lieu of Gunner, I think he'd pick: Nic Scourton EDGE Texas A&M Chicago had a huge void at running back that was filled by Ashton Jeanty at pick #10. But, both OL and DL need some serious help. The OL depth has been pretty well plundered, I have Donovan Jackson top of board here and am not convinced he's a value pick here. Montez Sweat is the splash signing for Chicago so while EDGE isn't the greatest need, Odeyingbo is pencilled as the opposite starter. But surely, Scourton is sticking way up on the board at this pick, and we know Gunner likes the player, just a matter if he feels it's a fit in Chicago - but checking with the Chicago media, I see some mocking this player at this spot, so it sure seems like a fit.

They coulda took Dejean last year, but were chasing the WR.

I got a good idea on reasoning... Jags team needs were listed as "CB, DT, CB"

But for as much as the WR room sucked and they all underperformed... the Bills sure scored a bunch of points didn't they? If Beane is going WR before Day 3 this year he'd better have a damn good idea that the guy has #1 upside and is decently likely to achieve it. Coleman was the swing taken early and whether you think that's the guy that the swing should have been taken on, that book isn't written yet. Using the top pick on the same position again? Not a fan.

Conversely, if Mahomes dinks and dunks down the field against Dane Jackson to eliminate the Bills AGAIN, people will blame Beane for drafting BPA with a glaring roster need.

Hi there!

Sooo... Trey Amos?

I want to invest in a WR5 who can play special teams and red zone packages this year and has upside to at least WR2. Teslaa is that guy for me. Check out the Senior Bowl, he was as much a red zone cheat code as a receiver as Josh Allen is as a QB. This is something the Bills could have used like oh I dunno, the last drive of the Rams game.

Big fat slobs are for Day 3. There's a reason skill positions are called skill positions - not everyone can do it.

The pick Dallas holds that might be interesting to the Bills is #76. Your valuation on Cook probably has a floor of whatever his potential comp pick would be if the Bills do let him hit the market in '26, so yeah a 4th. If Dallas is desperate for a RB then 109 + Cook for 76 is probably closest to that ballpark. They downgrade a 3rd to an early 4th for a year of prime Cook and the prospect of extending him or recouping a 4th or 5th comp. Doesn't really help the Bills much in a window year unless they draft someone to take up that backfield slack, but #76 can definitely yield something good...

For the first time in a long time I'm against the Bills entertaining a WR on Days 1-2. Where would they play him? Shakir in the slot and Palmer at boundary are set. Then there's Samuel and Coleman as roster locks. This is the draft to get a traits guy later. Too many people are smart to Donte Thornton from Tennessee, I think someone takes a flyer on Day 2... my combine crush is Isaac Teslaa, he'd certainly be worth a flyer in the middle of Day 3. Kind of a faster Hollins - big frame, willing blocker, great hands, clocks in the low 4.4's. Been deployed mainly as a big slot and needs coached up to play outside, but toolsy.
