A late day 3 pick I'd be interested.

Higgins was a scary thought at 22 but I’d gladly take him at 54, he seems to be dropping in the rankings and Bills have done their homework on him. They also traded for Diggs the day after they went to his pro day so maybe they hate him too haha.

Not a fan. I just do don't see him getting separation at this level. We already have a tall guy with that trait. I think Higgins has big bust potential.

Testing the waters in case they take CeeDee at 8? Also makes me wonder if he didn’t pick up KK’s system

Is NFL rumors twitter account legit?

a trade back from 3 to 23 would be what...this years 1, 2,  next years 1, 2 and a 1st after that as well?  if they get a hof'er it is worth it

Why trade that many picks when you can just tank this year w/ Stidham and get Trevor next year... That would be a little smarter.

Yep. That’s what we’ve been talking about for a while. I really think they’ll move down from both spots

This is what I've been thinking too. A lot of WRs will be drafted but only a few are in the upper tier of prospects. Bills did the right thing getting their #1 WR before the draft.

 

This WR class is ridiculously deep.  And any scout saying different is blowing smoke.

 

There are two elite prospects who would go Top 5-10 in almost any class:  Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb.  Then you have one borderline elite guy, who is sure-shot First Round in Henry Ruggs.  After that, you have about 10-12 guys who would deserve 1st Round consideration in almost any year.  Many of these guys are getting extra scrutiny and will be pushed down, simply because there are a multitude of other options for WR-needy teams:  Laviska Shenault, Tee Higgins, Jalen Reagor, Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk, KJ Hamler, Michael Pittman, Denzel Mims, Bryan Edwards, Chase Claypool.

 

And then you have dozens of potential sleeper guys, who could slip to Day 3 and be impact starters in the NFL.  Van Jefferson, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Tyler Johnson, Antonio Gandy-Golden, Gabriel Davis, etc.

 

I've been following the draft for 30+ years, and I've never seen a class with this much potential.

I think 100% what Beane did was absolutely the best decision for this team...sure..a year a so down the road, people may say “we could have had X receiver in the 2nd round”..but why even take the risk...get the guaranteed stud on a solid contract.

100%, I don't believe any of it. I didn't think the 2019 class was all that special but then you have Terry McLaurin, Diontae Johnson, Darius Slayton, Hunter Renfrow going in the mid rounds and having sucess, 2020 will have plenty of guys who will be late steals.

[PromoTheRobot]

So is there anyone you could see the Bills moving up to #31 for?

The 2014 WR Class was the best I could remember, up until this point.  Everybody knew that class was going to be fantastic, and for the most part (unless you traded up to #4 to take Sammy Watkins...) it didn't disappoint.  Personally, I think this class is stronger at the very top.  The 2014 class was a little bit better in the back-half of the 1st/early 2nd.  They look to be about the same in the late 2nd Round and early 3rd.  This class has more potential on Day 3.

 

If those two classes were merged and re-drafted (based purely on their draft ranking out of college), I think the 1st Round prospects would go something like this:

 

CeeDee Lamb

Jerry Jeudy

Sammy Watkins

Henry Ruggs

Mike Evans

Odell Beckham

Brandin Cooks

Kelvin Benjamin

Tee Higgins

I don't think the Bills consider any trade-ups until a player they covet is withing striking distance (meaning 10 or less picks), and they are scared he will not fall.

 

I'm fully expecting them to move around on Friday and Saturday, but they won't be making huge jumps.

Interesting. I suspected they'd use #13 on a receiver. If they move back from that spot do they take a second tier receiver later in round 1?

? Spoiler alert for when my mock drops ?
 

I think they move back with Philly, who will want one of the big-3. At 21, I could see SF taking Jefferson to replace Sanders.

 

Then they drop back from 31 to round 2, where they can nab my boy Gallimore to replace Buckner.

The Philly trade makes sense but I just don't think Jefferson there does for the 9ers. I hate him anywhere in round 1 that doesn't already have an established #1 outside guy. 

 

I doubt Gallimore gets to round #2. He might not make #31 but that is right in his range IMO.
