The board has fallen very nicely for the Bills, probably better than they could expect in real life...There are at least three WRs worthy of the 25th pick (I'd prefer both Dotson and Watson to Wilson), as well as McDuffie and Dax Hill. They might also be interested in Karlaftis or Tyler Smith at that spot.

Gotta believe Jacksonville is going to draft Neal to protect their franchise QB.

Why not? That's exactly what he did last year, sitting at 30...

so you think someone would trade a first or second round pick for Johnson AND pay him $20 to $22 million per year? I'll believe it when I see it.

Agreed. Dionte Johnson is a pretty good WR, but not a true WR1 and not someone that really requires special attention from a defense…I doubt anyone would trade a second for him, especially with his contract demands….

I have a feeling Jameson Williams is coming off the board here...

And, to use a more nauseating example, in 2004, ol' Whitey used pick 13 on Lee Evans, then traded up to 22 for the uber-talented JP Losman.

Exactly. If there's a QB they like enough to move up for, they'd likely just take him at 2.

OK, I could see that, but what are the Lions going to offer? 32 and 34 for 25 and 57? I could see Beane doing that, but who would the Lions want to move up for at that point?

There is no way Beane trades back, out of the first round. Absolutely no way.

Ok, but how is this a bad setup for the Bills? Most people expected several of those WRs to be off the board already…

Seriously? I think it's perfect...only one WR off the board and it's one the Bills probably would not be interested in anyway.

So Deebo can only be effective in an offense with an immobile, noodle-armed QB? I don’t agree…

Don't get me wrong; I think Johnson is a really good prospect and may very well be a top-10 pick, but I just don't see KC using their first two picks on defense, especially this year, after losing Tryeek Hill. The Chiefs seem to be a franchise that knows the best way to succeed is to get the most awesome possible weapons for your franchise QB and figure out the defense later. I expect them to use a first and probably a second on pass catchers...

I’m pretty sure the actual Chiefs would never consider trading those picks in order to draft a defensive end…They will use at least one, if not both, firsts on a WR…

On the other hand, Geno Smith is still in the league…he might even be QB1 on Seattle’s depth chart right now🤣🤣

Let me save you the trouble; 2013 was worse, by a lot.

I’ll take whoever is available

Hasn’t it what?

Poyer was Oregon HS baseball player of the year, but I don’t think he played at Oregon State…it’s a top 5 program and they don’t have many guys on the team who play another sport in college. EDIT: Poyer played a few games his junior year at OSU, then quit baseball to focus on football…

What’s Cosell’s track record for evaluating WRs? I don’t really follow him much…

His team does not throw the football. They are run-first. But when they did throw to him, he averaged almost 20 YPC. At any rate, drafting based on college production is a poor way to go about things…see, e.g. Zay Jones, Joshua Allen, etc

That's fine. For this team, I would take Watson over all of those. The point is, there is zero chance the Bills take a RB or a DT at 25. I think it's unlikely that they take IOL there as well, but it wouldn't shock me.

Add Christian Watson, please. The Bills are far more likely to draft him than any RB, IOL or DT in round 1.

You can’t possibly know that…there is every chance that guys like Watson, Dotson and/or Burks, not to mention Alec Pierce, will be available at 25.
