Interesting analysis of mocks to Bills

Booth has been mocked to the Bill's 22 times. McDuffie, 17 times. I think 17 times is an omen, I'm going with McDuffie.

Cool review!
 

Outside the top 10 picks, I think mock drafts are pretty unreliable because each pick and/or trade throws a monkey wrench 🙈 🔧 into the analysis. This part of the article would be interesting to track against from a betting perspective:

 

Most popular positions for Bills in 2022 mock drafts (first round)

CB/DB – 64 times

WR – 21 times

IOL – 15 times

I haven’t followed the “depth” of each of these positions in the draft. All that being equal, CB2 is obviously the biggest need. I’ll go SS because I think this is Poyer’s last year in Buffalo.

 

My 2 cents 🪙🪙

While these selections would make the draft feel routine this year, the two are good picks and prudent.

I'm surprised there are that many mocks with McDuffie to the Bills. Most of the ones I see, he's gone well before that. If he dropped to 25, seems like a no brainer for the Bills, even though he has some short arms.

This has a 1999 draft feel when Winfield was linked to the Bills at pick 23 for awhile. I think it’ll be McDuffie, Booth, or Gordon.

If you are looking to match exact team/exact player, mock drafts are usually way off.

If you are looking to get a rough idea which players are going to be available, they are actually pretty helpful.

 

Last year, I was targeting an edge rusher and kept ending up with a choice of Greg Roussea, Jayson Oweh and Azeez Ojulari.  Kwity Paye was always gone.  Jaelen Phillips was gone about 75% of the time.  Low and behold, those three were exactly who were available.

 

I've been doing mock drafts for the last 1-2 months.  Andrew Booth only started popping up available recently, after the injury concerns about his hernia started popping up.  Once that happened, Trent McDuffie started going in the Top 15-20 instead.

I believe if Booth makes it to 25 there’s something to his injury concerns and I would hope the Bills pass on him because he’s not supposed to be there he’s to good.

The problem with having such an obvious need (cornerback) is that teams may try to leap-frog us at #25 to take the best remaining player at the position.

 

I could see us moving up to ~20 to secure our selection, or moving out of the 1st round if the top 5 cb's are gone.

But you’re avoiding what’s staring you in the face!  Those are just analysts and bloggers.  Those aren’t “guys in the know” like Buscaglia, Albright and Simms.

Mock drafts mean absolutely nothing in the real world. It’s more of a “fantasy” than fantasy football. Hall could be mocked to the Bills one hundred billion times and it would mean nothing. Completely nothing…

Why is 17 an omen?

Ive seen and heard several people saying Daxton Hill would be an interesting pick. Can play anywhere in the secondary,able to handle zone or man coverage. Fill in for Tre, eventually replace Poyer?

What if I told you they can get a CB and a SS....?

 

Daxton Hill.

     Hmm, think we got Thurman Thomas because he was supposed to be a 2nd rounder back in the day?   If he's that good but does drop its due to teams hedging over the injury and not willing to wait 9n him to get well.  Bills are very fortunate 8n that they don't really have many glaring needs so they can be a bit more patient.  I also think the Bills have historically had good medical evaluations and if they sign off on his recovery then that's good enough to grab him there if he falls.

[billsherd]

So my first post on the mocks and it will be Booth.

[BigAl2526]

There's been a recent run of Breece Hall to Buffalo projections lately.  I'll bet it's way over 4 by now.
