If you play enough of these scenarios, one of them is going to throw you a completely unrealistic payoff that hits on multiple needs. I made a small trade back from 62 to add 134. Harmon at 56 is bonkers. Egbuka at 30 isn't happening either. 30. Emeka EgbukaWR Ohio State 56. Derrick HarmonDT Oregon 65. T.J. SandersDT South Carolina 108. Quincy RileyCB Louisville 131.

Almost as expensive as you are.

Teams will analyze the tape. We still lack explosive play capability, and it's a deficiency not to have that. Objectively, boundary receiver is a need on offense. Josh Allen should have that in his arsenal. If you have a problem adding that one piece on offense, I think that is an unbalanced view. You can do that and still grab DL and a corner or two. I'm assuming DL, CB, and S are also the most likely FA targets.

It's not an either/or. I think we need to add a boundary receiver who is a weapon. At minimum, someone good enough to make the opposing defenses account for that part of the field. However one acquires such, there is plenty of draft capital and FA to do that and also build the defense, which definitely needs upgrades. Beyond the talent, I think you need some scheme change. Hopefully McDermott's process has revealed that necessity.

Thanks very much. One last question on this topic: if Egbuka fell a bit, would you consider trading up for him, or is the preference still D line or maybe CB in the first?

We might have to find a way to pick up a third round pick. I like Badger. I had been thinking you could pick him up later on day 3.

Other than Isaiah Bond, perhaps, who is likely to be available late second that is worth a selection? It's a bad draft for WR. Not sure what the FA market is, but Higgins is too expensive. Maybe they resign Cooper and he is healthy and better than what we ultimately got. That's the one position I think has to be accounted for. I'd still like to add at least a developmental WR with speed that can play on the outside.

My understanding is the Bills would be awarded a third round pick for 2026 and another for 2027 if Gray were to be hired.

I like the idea of two huge DTs for the middle. Doubt Amos drops to #56. The UCLA LB is really an Edge. BUF 30. Kenneth GrantDT Michigan 56. Trey AmosCB Ole Miss 62. Savion WilliamsWR TCU 108.

A nuanced and generous response to an unserious and lazy post.

Scenario #1 is more of the same. I would be disappointed if that were the strategy. I agree with those who have suggested that TP will want to build enthusiasm to sell PSLs for the new stadium. Further, there ought to be urgency to get Josh Allen to a Super Bowl while he is in his prime years. It's already a damn shame it hasn't happened.

Grant is my favorite. Watts is excellent, but I'd be a bit surprised if they went safety that early.

Unfortunately, you'd need two first rounders. Don't think either makes it to #30.

I can see trading for a someone like Garrett or Crosby. You'd still have enough draft capital to grab DL. It's a deep draft there. There are some absolute monster DTs. Some can even apply pressure up the middle and get to the QB. I think with the recent D coaching hires, they may be open to expanding the paradigm. I sure hope it includes adding heft in the trenches on the D side.

Even if they get Garrett, they should think about drafting two.
