[GreggTX]

I'll be very upset if we draft a RB or LB in the 1st.

I updated it to a top 5

If you remember, please post who were guys 4-5, and if you remember also 6-7. I can only see three finalists now. Thanks.

[John from Riverside]

I voted Phillips but I really wish I could have voted for 2 players

 

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is a ***** beast.....and i would not shed a tear if we drafted him

 

Edit....you know what....I am changing my vote to Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

 

The fact that New England is going to a 2 TE set......this guy is so versitile and just hits like a truck

I really don’t remember.  I didn’t see any reason to retain that info

Please help us select who the Bills will take at #30 overall for our TSW Mock Draft.  Trades were not an option in this draft.

 

If you have any players you see missing from the poll that scream either BPA or position of need, please reply

FWIW Virg, on last Fridays rock the mock on MTC/NFLR Pat had the Bills and he picked  Jaelan Phillips.  I picked Ettiene.

[Thurman#1]

Whoever is their highest rated CB, whether it's Campbell, Kelvin Joseph, or someone else.

 

If I saw your three as the best options, I'd look hard at Phillips to see if he can play DE the way the Bills like. If he couldn't, I'd look at Owusu-Koramoah to see if he could fit what I needed as a big nickel. If I thought he couldn't, I'd trade down a ways.

 

I love the way Owusu-Koramoah plays, but I can't see him lasting long as a pure LB at his weight. Not sure if Phillips can be a hand in the dirt DE.

Alex Leatherwood. In some drafts he would be a top 10 pick. This year happens to be loaded with OL talent or so it seems. 

[CNYfan]

So, if Cleveland had been mocked JOK in this first TSW mock, hypothetically, then we would be looking at Phillips, Etienne and Campbell?  

And @NewEra would be happier?   

In that case I would be torn between Campbell and Phillips

[NewEra]

If those 3 are on the board, JOK should be the runaway winner and that who I would take.  
 

Because I don’t think there’s any chance of that happening, I voted for Phillips. The injuries are super scary, but his positional value and prototypical size and skill set make him the easy choice over Etienne imo

People keep saying this about JOK, but have you all ever checked Milano's playing weight? He's listed at 221lbs. JOK has been listed at 215lbs the last two seasons, but I would bet money that this year he played closer to 220lbs seeing him on the field compared to 2019. He looked thicker. The difference between Milano and JOK is Milano looks filled out at 220lbs. JOK could easily add another 10-15lbs in an NFL strength and conditioning program with no problems or hindrances. The weight thing is overblown. 

[MAJBobby]

JOK remains the best football player on the board. 

[LyndonvilleBill]

So, we have issues with Morse and concussions,  but we are ok with Phillip's? Doesn't make much sense...🤔. Still having a hard time with a RB in the 1st (but starting to warm up to it, keep talking and maybe I'll get there.😉). Najee possibly, just not sold on Etienne yet (ball security ?) Would rather go corner, but JOK is the only one left to choose in my opinion. Guess I'll go with JOK.🤔

15 hours+ running on the poll, 50 votes for (out of a possible 135), and 7 ahead of the next closest choice. Can we call this one yet @Virgil ?

We did 24 hours before or until there was a clear cut winner.  It’s finally starting to trend that way, but a few hours won’t hurt.  I also let the people picking after know noon was probably our re-start time.

Why Etienne over Harris guys? What am I missing here?

Speed and can lineup Etieene at WR etc. 

[Reed83HOF]

 

For all you knuckleheads on here

[34-78-83]

of the 3 available choices its tough... Phillips potentially gives that pass rush we need and an infusion of youth at that position. JOK will be able to help immensely vs schemes like what New England is going to use (12 personnel) and vs. guys like Kelce, and Rb's out of the backfield. Also a good rover and blitzer.

[ROCBillsBeliever]

I voted JOK, mostly because of precisely what @Reed83HOF noted in that YPP Tweet: Of the three players available, JOK would be on the field the most (we rotate DE's, under Beane/Washington) and with the number of RBs in our stable, Etienne would be splitting time, and an LB has the most responsibility of those three position groups. You could argue that for supply, DE's (or at least, good-quality ones) are in shorter supply, but, hey...

 

 

 

[H2o]

This would be a fantastic scenario for our defense, though likely not to happen come April.
