But still draw clicks from people with too much time on their hands (95% of us)... They are actually just pointless clickbait period. i mean ranking prospects? Sure, predicting what teams boards look like? May as well attempt to project the next 6 months’ of “soup of the day”s at the local diner.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I never read mocks that involve trades. Way too hard to predict 1

I think that’s what it is. There are some players I like, but no one knows who will still be there when we pick or what our “needs” will be after FA. Hopefully its a BPA situation but just don’t know who will be there. 1

Not everyone can be an elite “Chris Watson” caliber talent. These gentleman are just about ready to hit their strides! They just needed a decade or two... Don't forget drafting Terrel Troupe one pick before NE took Gronk. 1

I really don’t think they’re worth much at this point except for getting an idea of what part of the draft players are likely to go and team needs. Things will clear up a lot after FA gets going. Then they’ll be worth debating. With that all said, Terrell Lewis at 22 is ridiculous. That’s like two rounds early. I’d expect some major explanation to go with that pick. It really wasn’t given. DE at 22, sure. Lewis at 22, uhhh, no. Edited February 20, 2020 by BarleyNY 1

Argue with science... I dare you, Jay. Bro, our Ovaltine is organic and made with real sheep’s wool and dirt up here. I’d rather spend 7 minutes alone with a guy doing nothing but Fortnite dances.

John from Riverside Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 A lot of these mocks view Buffalo as an afterthought and are concentrating on other teams picks........

Someone started a thread on that and you can go to a simulator and do a 7 round mock. It was pretty cool. I don't know how he dropped but I ended up drafting Jeudy in the 1st. Wish we had that luck.

TigerJ Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I think some times some who create mock drafts get the notion of wanting a certain player to go to a certain team (ie. Gross-Mattos to the Seahawks and Shenault to Green Bay) and just plug in players on some other teams so the matchups they want for the later teams can happen. "Oh, maybe I can make a case for Terrell Lewis to Buffalo."

I kind of feel drafting "sleepers" (aka "thinking we're smarter than everyone else in the room") systematically stymied the Bills for years. I'm for staying away from players who "flash" and have "unknown upside" and a bad injury history. I do feel Beane & Co have been generally drafting very well and less "sleeper"-ish, but of course, the Jury is ultimately still out on QB. Yup, the damage done by a disinterested owner, and bad team management will take at least two more years of continued success for the current owner and team management to rid itself of the “stench” as you put it, that seventeen years of stupid inflicted on this team. I do think that BB Is painfully aware that this draft, and FA absolutely must hit the nail on the head for this team to move forward and reach the goals that they have in mind, I don’t believe sleeper types are on their agenda,. Yes the jury is still out..., kind of the elephant in the room so to speak. ? Go Bills!!! Edited February 20, 2020 by Don Otreply

Well we did select Tre White over Mahomes when we were in need of a QB so it's justifiable. FTR, I really like Josh, but I'm sure if we could all go back? Well, you know.....
