37.

Carlos Basham Jr.

EDGE Wake Forest

I traded down from #30 down to #37 and added a few picks. Value wasn’t matching need so I figured it’d be wise to go down and add more picks for more value. 
 

Basham has all the tools necessary to be a top flight DE in the NFL. He may not even make it this far but I know that he is a sleeper and I could get him here. He can be a 10-12 sack per year EDGE rusher if he lives up to his God given potential.

 

61.

Hunter Long

TE Boston College

It seems like he has top flight potential. Seemed like a really good spot to add a quality receiver here. Good value too. Big target for Josh, should be in good shape between him and Knox. Think Sweeney may do some damage this year as well, we’ll see. Has top 10 potential.

 

84.

Marvin Wilson

DT Florida State

93.

Tedarrell Slaton

DT Florida

I actually have Slaton above Wilson but I simply played the board. This is Sam Adams and Ted Washington all over again. These guys cannot be moved and they are decent pass rushers. May not put up gaudy numbers but they will create pressure. Between Boogie, Slaton and Wilson we would have a young and healthy DL, the sky is the limit for them. Throw them in there with Oliver and Epenesa and we got a young nuclei for dirt cheap. Dump all the expensive contracts and go for a youth movement here.

I like the players....I just don’t like 2 of our 1st 4 picks being 1 DTs.  We’d then have to cut Phillips or Zimmer because we can’t cut Star and we aren’t keeping 6 DTs imo. 

I hope we take 1 DT in rd 3-5 and possibly an edge rusher in rd 1-2, but I don’t think they’ll move the pass rush needle enough to make them worth it for 2021-22.  I think we’ll sign a FA pass rusher and not draft any this season....but I’m really hoping for Patrick Jones (as I beat the dead horse)

93. Kelvin Joseph CB Kentucky

94. Tyler Shelvin DT LSU

112. Tyree Gillespie S Missouri

162. Cornell Powell WR Clemson

175. JaCoby Stevens S LSU

214. Brennan Eagles WR Texas

234. Kayode Awosika OT Buffalo

If you take Bolton do you move Edmunds to OLB? MLB is Bolton’s best fit imo. Have to wonder if McBeane will be ready to do that or not. Just curious. 

I think he could play Will given his proficiency in coverage. He could also backup at Mike. I could be wrong, but my thinking is he has a little position flexibility. Seeing as he's closer to 6'0 I don't think he's actually tall enough for MLB though that's where he's played and is most often mocked playing.

100% agree. I don't think the Bills pick Bolton for exactly that reason. He is a good player. If we were looking for a MIKE I'd be totally on board at #30. Maybe even hoping he gets there. But we aren't. McDermott and Beane have their MIKE. I know fans would move Edmunds outside but I don't believe for a second the men that matter will. I have asked a couple of folks whose opinion I trust whether Bolton could play outside. One said no, the other said he thought the Bills could get away with it because they are a two linebacker scheme but that is would be an awkward fit in any base 4-3 sets. The latter is sort of my view too.

My friend, my friend. Why do you puke at the sight of my mock?! 😆 It’s better than your mock where you take a DB at 30!

 

Also, you know I love Zaven Collins, you know. I love Boogie #1, but Zaven Collins is my #2 guy. He would be a stud MLB. Plug Edmunds outside and go after a guy like Kyle Hamilton RD3 to play the LB/S hybrid role.

 

I got nothing but love for you Gunner. 👍

I just hope we dump just about everyone on that DL. Just take the hit now. Find some plug n play LB in free agency and just reinvigorate that DL with lots of mean n nasty talent through the draft. I don’t like Star, he’s weak. Sitting out the season costed this team big. Take the hit now, clear space for next year and extend Josh Allen. Go after a hybrid LB/S like Kyle Hamilton RD3 and just ride it out. We’ll be much better.

I hear ya... I just don’t think it’s wise to take the hit this season....this is probably going to be our best chance at winning a SB, cap wise

Because I think all 4 of the guys in it are high motor, low ceiling lunch pail guys. 

 

Collins isn't (he wasn't on your draft) he is a high ceiling guy thought not sure an MLB and in any event the Bills are not moving Edmunds.

 

So far Tufele seems to be the only guy we both like 😀

I think DL is more pertinent than OL.. Our OL is acceptable whereas our DL is not. Surely our OL needs to be reshuffled, but I think we’re a year too early.

30.

Buffalo Bills

Jaelan Phillips

EDGE, Miami

(really wanted an OT here, perhaps should have taken Clemson RB.  Other option was LB Collins, but he seems like a one year wonder to me in a weak conference?  I could be totally wrong).  

 

61.

Buffalo Bills

Trevon Moehrig

S, TCU

(no way he is available at 61.  If he is, he has to be the pick, despite not being a position of clear need).  

 

93.

Buffalo Bills

Tyler Shelvin

IDL, LSU

(great 1T DT).  

 

162.

Buffalo Bills

Chris Evans

RB, Michigan

(from what I've read, this is a guy who could be a top 3 RB in the draft but had off-field issues.  Seems like a good place for that gamble).  

 

175.

Buffalo Bills

Deommodore Lenoir

CB, Oregon

(guy has played slot and periminiter CB).  

 

214.

Buffalo Bills

Ihmir Smith-Marsette

WR, Iowa

(many feel he will be the "steal of the draft."  Let's steal him.  He can stretch the field.  

 

230.

Buffalo Bills

Quintin Morris

TE, Bowling Green

(Lee Smith or Sweeny Replacement with much more catching upside.)  

 

[JMF2006]

This is totally unbillievable Darrisaw was still on the board at 30...... Moses at 61

 

I did 2 minor trade downs in the 5th and 6th to get more players so I could double down on Edge and TE

 

30.

Christian Darrisaw

OT Virginia Tech

61.

Dylan Moses

LB Alabama

93.

Dayo Odeyingbo

Hey YOLO, would you take Browning from Ohio State, or Moses from Alabama, Cox from LSU, or Surratt from UNC?  You clearly watch more college football than I do (I'm a Cuse and Pitt fan, so um, after week 3 it's usually pointless, haha).  Had all 3 available to me in my mock in the 2nd.  (see below).  Just went off analysist reports.  But Browning in the 3rd is a no brainer, IMO.  

Edited February 24, 2021 by RyanC883

[RyanC883]

Here is today's with my thoughts--mostly based on analysts reports I've read.  Give me yours! 

 

30.

Buffalo Bills

Jalen Mayfield

OT, Michigan

(this is becoming my fav pick for Buffalo at 30 if he is available.  He can play tackle or guard, and is good against the run and pass.  He is insurance against Ford never getting it, and if everyone pans out, there are MUCH worse things than OL depth, just ask KC!  (I know we need an Edge, but those are not going to be impactful ones at 30, IMO.).  Note, RB Harris was gone or he would have been the pick here.  

 

61.

Buffalo Bills

Dylan Moses

LB, Alabama

(do it all MLB, kick Edmunds to outside.  I believe he can cover TE's.  Physical presence that we need at LB).  

 

93.

Buffalo Bills

Tyler Shelvin

IDL, LSU

(yes, here is our 1T.  This does several things.  Helps solve the run D issues, clears our LB's, and unleashes Oliver and our DE's).  

 

162.

Buffalo Bills

Rashad Weaver

EDGE, Pittsburgh

(I think this guy projects mostly as a Shaq Lawson type, with some more sack upside.  Not bad for a pick this low).  

 

175.

Buffalo Bills

Deommodore Lenoir

CB, Oregon

(guy can play multiple roles in the backfield.  I like it.  Seems to be able to press, and play well in the zone, which annoyingly to me Frazier likes)  

 

214.

Buffalo Bills

Jaelon Darden

WR, North Texas

(according to reports he is speedy, and is a great kick returner.  Good guy to pair with McKenzie)  

 

230.

Buffalo Bills

Quintin Morris

TE, Bowling Green

(TE who can block and catch.  Seems like he develops into a solid TE2).
