In what fantasy land does anyone want Epenesa Hodgins and Moss even if they were FA, let alone giving up major assets for lol them giving us an interest free 1st rd loan... one that started as a 7th and turned into pick 32 lol this is sooooo bad

Oh I don't know....maybe the GM of the Giants and the HC of the Giants who already know the players well

PFN dart board draft, more trades to get what I want. I think that when you decide what players you want for your team, stick to your guns and don't worry about some big board and if your picking a guy to early so what, let the hens cackle and get your guys. There's at least 6 guys who could command significant playing time.

Lol ESPN just had the bills take breece hall over Andrew booth... not saying it's impossible but I would be very upset if beane went RB over arguably the 2nd best CB in the draft.

It was mentioned earlier many in NFL think Booth may not be a 1st round pick

I'm not thrilled with the injuries, and his play in zone. Better off with Elam, I personally like Coby in second or third.

 

 

 

This way they can grab Hall in the first if they want and still get a good corner with allot of experience and ball skills.

True, and many in the NFL have mentioned Hall is not a First rounder especially not last year, he just happens to be maybe the best rb this year. But that's the beauty of mock drafts. Everyone has their opinions, and none of us will know what happens until Thursday.

FINAL MOCK:  Locked in. . No trades in this version.

 

Disappointed in how WR fell in this draft, but I took the BPA approach. 

 

Top 3 rounds addressed the CB hole, potential Safety hole (if Poyer decides that he needs an extension before he plays), and gives competition to Tremaine Edmunds to either step up or step aside.

 

Wasn't planning on an OT but Deisch was a great value in the 4th round.

 

Added depth to interior OL, RB, DL, and also took a flier on Leo Chenal's teammate LB Sanborn.

 

HOPEFUL UDFAs:

CB Derion Kendrick - Georgia

TE Jake Ferguson - Wisconsin

S Brad Hawkins - Michigan

TE/RB/KR Connor Heyward - Mich State

WR Dontario Drummond - Ole Miss

WR Jalen Nailor - Mich State

CB Vincent Gray - Michigan

OG Ben Brown - Ole Miss

TE Cole Turner - Nevada

Needs DB (CB and S)/ IOL/ RB/ WR/ LB

No trades, let the draft fall and see who became available

 

25 - OT- Trevor Penning - Northern Iowa (RAS 9.96) - surprised to see him there. BPA on OL. LT starter but can play RT, so he can be a swing OT this year and push Brown as starting RT. Size and demeanor comparison is Jon Runyan, play style Riley Reiff. If he plays like either of those guys a 5th yr option will be a big plus

57 - RB - Ken Walker III - Michigan St (RAS 9.25) - No brainer here, give JA a Heisman winner in the backfield

89 - TE - Trey McBride - Col State (RAS 8.18) - had 0 plans on drafting TE, much less one this high, but he is the #1 or #2 TE prospect on almost every board and is expected to be drafted in the 40-55 range. Anyone want to add a 2 way Mackey Award Winner to this offense?

130 - CB - Josh Jobe - Alabama (RAS N/A) - excellent Jr season, played with turf toe most of 2021. Better suited to zone or cover 2. 5'11 208, may be a S at NFL

168 - S - Tycen Anderson - Toledo (RAS 9.48) - 6'2" 209, 4.36 40, 4.28 shuttle. Has played as S and big Nickel, the type of clay McDermott and Frazier can mold into a stud NFL DB.

185 - OG - Logan Bruss - Wisconsin (RAS 8.75) - 6'5" 309 - Can play RG or RT, Buffalo loves versatility

203 - OG - Cade Mays - Tennessee (RAS 7.53) - 6'5" 311 - Has started at all T and G positions in college

231 - WR - Tre Turner - Virginia Tech (RAS 3.51) - 6'1 195 4.51 40. Had pretty bad QB play at VT. Averaged 17 YPC in college, bad QB play at VT. Can replace Isaiah Hodgins on the PS 🤣

 

DB and WR didn't get a great lift the way this draft fell, but it got a much needed youth injection at OL. Lot's of talent, athleticism and versatility for Kromer to work with. I could see 2-3 future OL starters from this mock. Adding Walker III and McBride is just adding to an embarrassment of riches on a loaded offense.

 

Maybe McDermott and Frazier can turn Jobe or Anderson to starting calibre DBs, they have a knack for it.

 

Turner brought into an NFL camp to try to shake a bad combine and show what he has.

No trades, no early reaches, let draft fall to BUF.

Took SIM best BPA rounds 1-3.

No S or IOL! Draft fell strange in Mid Rounds.

 

25 - OT - Trevor Penning (Northern Iowa) - BPA (K Green/ Z Johnson and D Hill were next best BPA - any of these picks would be aok with me)

57 - RB  - Breece Hall (Iowa State) - BPA - Don't want him in the 1st, love him at 57. Walker III was also available.

89 - TE - Trey McBride (Colorado St) - BPA - some 2nd tier CB and S were available, but McBride was rated 40 slots higher then the next best player

130 - CB - Jalyn Armour Davis (Alabama) - Best DB available, drop off after he and Alabama teammate Jobe was bad (20 or more slots)

168 - WR - Tyquan Thornton (Baylor) - speed size mix Buffalo does not have. Best outside WR prospect left.

185 - P - Matt Araiza - with OL/ DB and WR raided I looked to ST. Fan favorite, flip those fields

203 - WR - Kyle Phillips (UCLA) - slot WR with 4 yrs Punt return duty at UCLA

231 - FB/RB - Zander Horvath (Purdue 6'3" 230) - jack of all trades - Mike Alstott comparisons

 

Trevor Penning - potential to be the best OT in the draft. Biggest concern is FCS competition. I am not 100% on Brown long term. BUF is light at LT after Dawk. Penning can play LT or RT. May need some time to adjust to NFL game speed/ strength. Having Brown hold down RT if needed is a luxury. If Penning is ready then having Brown be a backup RT is a luxury. Was a starting LT in college. John Runyan and Riley Reiff comparisons.

 

Breece Hall - could choose between Hall or Walker III. I like Walker III a bit more, but hard to pass on Hall's 3 down ability (hands).

 

McBride - if the consensus TE #1 or #2 TE is there at 89 it is hard to pass on him. Mackey award winner. Excellent hands, size and ability to block. I am not a fan of OJ Howard. Knox may get expensive next year. Immediate ability to play 11 personnel this year with Knox and McBride. Knox/McBride/Howard is nasty TE depth. Comparison - Austin Hooper.

 

Jalyn Armour-Davis - 6'1" 197 4.39 40. Best DB (CB and S) available at this point. CB and S had a lot of runs in this sim. (Taylor-Britt/ Bryant/ McCollum were all gone). Fall off after JAD was bad. Lots of ability here for McDermott and Frazier to mold. NFL comparison - Dre Kirkpatrick.

 

Picks after 160 were pretty sparse. Lots of RB and TE available. OL/ DB/ WR raided. Looked for traits and ST.

 

Tyrquan Thornton offers a unique size and speed combo. Best option to find outside WR depth at this point of the draft, most guys were small slot guys. Has been used as a KR in college. Traits pick.

 

Matt Araiza - best ST player available in draft. Good bye Haack. The Josh Allen of punters!

 

Kyle Phillips - small slot WR. A plus is he returned punts all 4 years at UCLA

 

Zander Horvath - I just love this kids videos. Total McDermott type guy. Can run/ catch/ sneaky game speed. Could contribute on ST right away, compete with Gilliam.

This would be a GREAT draft , I just don’t  think ( of course I could be wrong) Breece Hall or Tre McBride would be available at those spots , also Kyle Phillips will probably be gone before we pick in round 5 , 

I love the Tyquan Thornton pick , 

What do you think of Josh Johnson WR out of  Tulsa ?

Yeah it went way different than I wanted, but in retrospect what luck. I see Hall/ Walker III in the second a lot.

McBride being there was a glitch or a gift. Would have gone for a CB/S/OG otherwise.

 

Josh Johnson WR - not really on my radar. I've avoided most of the small slot guys because Buffalo has Crowder and McKenzie (and Stevenson). Not sure what he would add to the mix. I was leaning toward outside WRs. I picked Phillips on a bit of a whim looking at experienced returners because that mock fell really weird so I looked ST late.

If Hall is there guy then they should absolutely trade back. Then can easily get him in the mid 30s and probably 40s plus...

[TheBrownBear]

Never did one of these before.  Pretty fun.  I drafted for perceived need.  And come from the Jauron school of no such thing as ever having too many DBs...lol.

If Hall is the guy that they believe can be a difference maker then JUST take him , there’s no guarantee that he’ll be there if we trade back , of course to your point I would love the possibility of getting Hall and an extra 3rd round pick  🤞 !!!
