Kiper and McShay mock draft ???????????????????

[BeastMode54]

I don't take their word as gospel, but I do enjoy looking through as many mock drafts as possible. I don't pay for ESPN+. Does anyone know who they had us taking in their newest 3 round mock drafts?

what does your heart tell you?

 

and keep in mind, it's Kuiper and McShay, who are experts

[Logic]

If they picked they guy I want the Bills to take, they're geniuses. If they didn't, puke emoji.

I need ESPN+ for the Sabres. I got it free this year with a new Verizon account.

 

It looks like they alternate picks and all of Buffalo picks fell to Kiper:

 

27. Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson
59. Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina
91. Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M

He even admits that Simpson had a second round grade and he drafted for “need”

[McBean]

We aren’t taking defense at 27.

 

I just know it.😀

And I feel like Beane has done this in Round 1 every year.  Minus the Diggs trade and even then he went DE in RD 2 with our first pick.  A need then.

I think with Klein back, they're going to wait til day 3 to draft a LB, if they do at all. Just spent a 3rd on Benard, let him, Dodson and Klein battle it out. Playing next to a stud like Milano can only help

Every time I tried to watch them on there it was blacked out.

Here are the details from the ESPN mock. Kiper made all of our picks (which surprisingly I'd prefer). I'd be pretty happy if it went this way, I think. Need to go back and look at who else is available at 27. But Johnson in the 3rd seems like a huge steal.

 

27. Buffalo Bills

Kiper's pick: Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson

I'm breaking my rules a little bit because I don't have a first-round grade on Simpson. The Bills just don't have many starting spots open, but they need a replacement inside for Tremaine Edmunds, who signed with the Bears. Simpson could fill that need; he has the coverage traits to play on third downs.

 

59. Buffalo Bills

Kiper's pick: Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina

This is another fit I had in my two-round mock draft. Downs could fill a role as Buffalo's slot receiver. He is extremely quick.

 

91. Buffalo Bills

Kiper's pick: Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M

I'm surprised Johnson is still on the board. What are we doing, Todd? This is a great pick for Buffalo. Johnson played a ton of nickel corner for the Aggies, and he piled up tackles for them. For the Bills, this is a pick to get some help for their aging safeties.

Predicting a team will go need with their bottom of the 1st round pick is the easy move.  

 

Then again, it's McBeane and they're not all that imaginative so maybe not far off using that pick for need.  They've used plenty of 2nd round picks in that way.  

 

And, their board amazingly lands on a defender more often than not although grades don't indicate the talent is there for 30 first round picks.

I don't like any of these picks.

No one is surprised.

I live in Tampa and the only ones blacked out for me are the Lightning games, home and away.

 

I actually like it because I get the Sabres broadcast unless it's a NHL network or specifically designated ESPN+ game.

I don't hate these picks, but I don't love them either.  I really don't see Downs falling to the end of the second.

 

Johnson in the 3rd would be great though I'd be surprised he's still on the board there too.

 

Picking late round really sucks.

Thanks.  Can you tell me when Addison, Q Johnston, and D Washington went.  And what were the 3-4 picks after us (the top alternatives).  I find it hard to get excited about T Simpson, yes there is a spot for him but it is kind of blah.  Much rather get something more offensive and take J Campbell in the second.

Ah, that's why. You're supposed to watch on MSG, which I understand is a pain for cord cutters.
