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.

Or draft JJ Pegues and hand it off to him

That's not what I'm seeing on Sporting News... this one is worse 30. Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall (6-3, 251 pounds) 56. Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee (6-2, 291 pounds) 62. Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State (6-1, 197 pounds) 109. Savion Williams, WR, TCU (6-4, 222 pounds) 132. Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia (6-0, 206 pounds) 169. Connor Colby, G, Iowa (6-6, 309 pounds) 170. Tonka Hemingway, DT, South Carolina (6-3, 284 pounds) 173. Kitan Crawford, S, Nevada (5-11, 202 pounds) 177. Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State (5-11, 190 pounds) 206. LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse (6-2, 204 pounds) Then there's this one, https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/buffalo-bills/news/latest-mock-draft-features-trade-will-leave-bills-mafia-livid-new-england-patriots-new-york-giants-lenneth-grant/c26a192169dacbaa7adb368c Bills trade down, #30 + #109 to New England for #38 and #77, then shift #38 + #132 to the New York Giants for #34. What the hell is that trade board value anyway? Pats move up 8 spots INTO R1 for the DIFFERENCE between a 3rd and a 4th... but for the Bills to move up only 4 spots in the 2nd, they need to give up a 4th rounder? Who comes up with this stuff.

Commanders have only 5 picks. They have already spewed a lot of 2025 and a fair amount of 2026 draft capital to get win-now pieces. If anything the sense is that they'd be looking to trade down from 29 to try to replenish some picks.

To me the biggest difference is we do see Elam playing on the line but you do not see him disrupting routes physically. He allowed free releases (and was a step behind). With the Bills, that was his biggest weakness - other than grabbitis. He whiffed comically trying to execute on rare occasions he was asked to get a jam off the line. Amos will press and disrupt line releases. This is key to countering what KC did to the Bills in the AFCCG, their free releases and easy yards just bled the defense. Philly molested KC in that 5-yard contact zone and you saw what that did. If anything that Elam rack makes me feel better about Amos - most of it is Elam playing off the ball in zone and crap QB's throwing the ball right to him, or a late throw allowing Elam to react and get back to the spot. For a guy supposed to be a man specialist he seemed to get beat by his man quite a bit, and recover only because the throw was bottom-tier. Amos to me is more reminiscent of McDuffie that Elam in what his rack is showing. Bills need a CB who can jam releases, can plaster and has long speed.

It's fair to argue the point, Elam never showed with the Bills what he did in college for reasons we'll probably never know... to me he still looked markedly stiffer in his movement than what I've seen of Amos. But one of the other reasons he's making plays in this highlight package - my opinion - is those are some unbelievably terrible throws by lousy QB's.

Not really and it doesn't take 40 seconds. The 1st highlight, the INT, he jumps the route and picks it off. I saw Elam do that. The 2nd highlight has Amos pressing a much bigger man, plastering him down the field and breaking up the pass. Elam is lucky if he gets his hands on the guy and probably ends up with cleat marks on his chest if he does. The one right after that, playing off and changing direction, flipping the hips a couple times, never saw Elam do that either.

I was considering Scourton as an edge fit for Washington at 29. I noticed you do not have him in the 1st round in your 2.0 Mock. Just a personal point of curiosity - where was Jihaad on your board? Would you have considered him for Buffalo at #30 had he made it? I think Edge is the greater roster need and positional value, but went Campbell based on his traits outweighing those other factors, I see him as a top-15 or top-20 OA, and I wasnt blown away at Scourton's combine, looked stiff to me.

Just a reminder that this poll is for pick #30 in @Virgil's TSW Draft 1.0, which means 29 players have already been selected of which Grant and Revel are two of them.

I'm fine with Amos at #30. Thrilled with him at #31 or #32 and three Day-2 picks

I like Hairston, he ticks every box except tackling and availability. But he is fast as anyone on a given field, high character, leader, McD would love him... if only he could tackle without breaking himself.

What Gunner said. Back to the subject, if you have Nolen and Amos in a similar tier then it's obvious you take Amos because 1) Plays a position of greater draft value 2) Plays a position of greater roster need 3) Already have a very similar player in Nolen's projected role on the roster. There are MANY 1T DT's which the Bills REALLY need available on Day 2. Collins, Caldwell, Biggers, and more. Especially if Beane trades down with KC to get ahold of pick #95
