I didn’t include combine interviews because their too informal to make any judgement on or pro days because those are too broad and they could be there for multiple people. These are guys they met with on zoom, held personal workouts with, had multiple interactions with(I suppose that includes Farmer) , or had in for a 30 visit . I’ll add Farmer even though it personally disgusts me to do so lol

I have no knowledge that the Bills met with him but I really like Jackson Hawes late in this draft as a guy who can replace Reggie Gilliam and be our 3rd TE. Not much of a pass catcher but the man can block and think he can be versatile enough to play STs. Bills want to be a physical running team at times a guy like Hawes will help

I was in Western PA for a couple of years. Scouted the WPIAL especially really hard but all of PA, NY, NJ, MD was an area for me and I agree that those states have a lot of football talent

Yup I actually was long distance from my wife for a couple years but I’m near 40 and this was when I was 30-35 and I wanted to have a child so I took the regular man’s job and let her be the bread winner which I have zero shame in

Nah man I’ve been out of the game for a bit now. My wife makes way too much money to be moving her around the country with the turnover in college ball for not great pay and long hours in the office away from the family. Still love watching tape though and obviously giving my opinions haha

Do you want me to give the standard answer or the truth? haha I organized it by position, you will like it the way it is haha

Haha putting me out there right now. Sure I'll give it my best shot for you. @GunnerBill can also chime in if he disagrees with any of my sentiments.

I don't really have much besides gut feeling. The only TE we know of that they met with was Thomas Fidone from Nebraska but I have to assume they want to add competition for Davidson at least for a roster spot and its a possibility that Knox with his large salary could be a cap casualty after this year or somewhere down the road. I do think its a possibility but not a lock for sure.

As you can see by the Bills first 3 visits, each one of them was here for a 30 visit and they had multiple meetings with the Bills before they were selected. This is by no means obviously a guarantee that any of the remaining 7 picks will be on this list but with their history I think its likely at least some of these picks come from this list. I think we can safely eliminate the Kickers so we're looking at a list of 37 players that we have had serious interaction with left in this draft which clearly means a lot to the Bills. 2.WR Isaiah Bond Texas (Highly Unlikely) (30 Visit) Round 7/UDFA 10.WR Da'Quan Felton Virginia Tech (Zoom Meeting) Round 6-7 11.WR Landon Parker Troy (Zoom Meeting) Round 7/UDFA 12.WR Will Sheppard Colorado (Zoom Meeting) Round 7/UDFA 13.TE Thomas Fidone Nebraska (Private Workout) Round 5-6 14.

If you listen to Beane's press conference, this is the 2nd time that he has mentioned two things that this board should listen to. They aren't interested in investing high capital into a 1T who can only play 2 downs and that pass rush for their DT's is way more important. Secondly, this is the 2nd time he has mentioned that DeWayne Carter is going to be a Nose Tackle in this defense moving forward. I think the next pick is going to go to a WR, they will take a LB, probably a TE for sure, probably a 1T at some point if they don't trade up that leaves 2 picks

Yup and if they want to keep two of the 5ths we're looking at getting up to around 115

So am I. I really like what they have done through the first 3 picks. Got a lot faster and a lot more physical on their defense so far which was two things they definitely had to do. One thing I've noticed and it was this way in the past but even moreso the Bills obviously value character players. Every guy that I have listened to is a well mannered clear sounding communicator. On top of that they are taking guys that are not from broken families which I'd have to go back and see how common that was. Landon Jackson is married, Hairston brought his whole family with him and talked effusively about them and Sanders talked about his family as well being special. Keon was a well spoken kid, Bishop and Kincaid etc etc but I like the sheer athleticism of this group moreso than groups of the past.

Ah there goes the WR I really wanted this draft.

Its not about being a *****. Its about having to deal with Deion, Deions other son who posts and tweets at the public like their idiots, and Shedeur coming off pampered and above everything in interviews hence him literally doing nothing in the pre draft process. Plus there is a difference between being a ***** offensive tackle and the guy who is supposed to be leading your football team.

Nah man there is more to it than that and I get its mostly about Deion being a helicopter coach/parent and teams don't want to deal with that and are concerned about Shedeur taking coaching but there is no way he should be going after Dillon Gabriel

Its like how long will they wait to punish that family before they actually are like okay its deep enough in the draft now to take him.

Ah man this is good tv haha

Probably didn't help Shedeurs case as there was a video out there where a scout was trying to correct a Colorado players 40 yard dash stance and Deion came over and told them not to listen to him mixed with some expletives and to do it the way they want to do it.

I've now gotten Revel to the Cowboys, and Milroe to the Seahawks both correct just a round off.

MacDonald wants that Lamar Jackson clone

Don't forget the elite offensive line people always seem to forget this part

Next year I think I'm going to bring a clicker to the draft to see how many of these people announcing the pick actually do it correctly. Every year it seems like half the guys completely botch it. Lee Evans was actually pretty good for the Bills.

I'd say moving into the end of the 3rd is a possibility for the Bills but Beane is already talking to the media which is a pretty solid indicator that the Bills are done for the day

Gotta think McDuffie negotiations are gonna be a pain for them. McDuffie is going to want to be paid like an outside CB and not sure the Chiefs would agree which makes this selection make sense for this year and the future for them.

Is Mel still on ESPN freaking out about Sanders? Heard it was almost unwatchable yesterday with the Sanders talk and him ranting.
