ONE of these top ranked players will slip to the bottom of round two or even to round 3.  It seems to happen every year.  Some round 1 talent takes an unexpected tumble.  Last year for example, Utah Linebacker Nakobe Dean who was graded on most sources as a 1st round prospect, tumbled to the third round.  I could see the same thing for SOMEONE on the list below.  I've bolded a few that could have a higher chance of slipping...

 

Christian Gonzalez CB OREGON

Nolan Smith ED GEORGIA

Calijah Kancey DI PITTSBURGH

Brian Branch S ALABAMA

Paris Johnson Jr. T OHIO STATE

Myles Murphy ED CLEMSON

Deonte Banks CB MARYLAND

Michael Mayer TE NOTRE DAME

Broderick Jones T GEORGIA

Jordan Addison WR USC

Anton Harrison T OKLAHOMA

Emmanuel Forbes CB MISS STATE

Lukas Van Ness ED IOWA

Tyree Wilson ED TEXAS TECH

Will McDonald IV ED IOWA STATE

O'Cyrus Torrence G FLORIDA

Dawand Jones T OHIO STATE

 

You missed Jack Campbell

Beanie trades down to get an extra 2nd, and then trades a 2nd for Hopkins.

 

🤔 💪 And Oliver to off set the cap hit 🤔 ??

Hot Take:

 

Somebody on our current roster will have a bigger starting impact than any of our draft picks.

[Royale with Cheese]

We trade for Hopkins by swapping our 1st (27th) for their 2nd (34th) and giving a 4th as well.  Those who do draft value charts...is that unrealistic?

 

We draft a DT in the 1st round.  We have 4 on one year deals right now.

We draft a WR in the 2nd round.  

We draft two tackles in a row in the 3rd and 5th round.

I don't consider him a "top ranked" first rounder! 

 

 

Hot take #2. 

We draft Flowers and then he's WR 4 (and does nothing....) underneath a contract-year-motivated Gabe Davis, and Shakir who becomes a pro-bowl caliber slot WR after his training wheels rookie year.  (I'm just poking fun here......)

Pats trade down and take the best available OT. BB later stated he did this because he hates all these Gen Z kids affirming he is a cranky old man. Lol

[Logic]

ESPN will cut to commercial as soon as the Bills go on the clock. 

[frostbitmic]

The Bills will sign Taiwan Jones today to help build excitement for the draft.

 

Nolan Smith DE/Edge will be the 1st pick... Pitchforks will be seen, making the 2nd round meh pick more interesting.

[mjt328]

Bills will trade out of the 1st Round, and end up taking Jalin Hyatt.

 

DeAndre Hopkins will be traded to the Chiefs, not us.

 

Jack Campbell will last to our 2nd Round pick, and we still won't take him.

 

We will take an Edge Rusher on Day 2, but not address the Offensive Line until Day 3.

 

The Jets will absolutely kill this draft, and be the clear AFC East favorite by the weekend.

I would rather sit in the war room for a Bills draft than attend a Super Bowl, even if the Bills are playing. We attended one Bills SB (vs Washington in Minneapolis) so I’ve kinda checked that box.  Sitting in on a draft would be new and fascinating.

the embedded video they did that year in the war room as one of my absolute favs. I would watch it every single year if they decided to film it

[Freddie's Dead]

Just say no to Zay Flowers.  It's in the name.

[Max Fischer]

New England will try to trade up for a new QB. 

[Toomstone.Part.Duex]

Cleveland will.... pull a Cleveland.

We are less than 48hrs out from the completion of the first found of the draft. What is your biggest hot take?

 

Mine is Darnell Washington being the first tight end off the board.
 

I think this still qualifies as a hot take. I have seen some recent rankings and mocks that have Washington as the first tight end off the board or the second highest graded right end in the draft. 
 

Still, the overall consensus I think is that he is a second round prospect and the #3 TE. 
 

Some rumblings of possible medical issues but those could maybe be smoke screens. And after seeing how Gronk’s career panned out after his serious medical red flags I think more than one GM will be willing to take a gamble on him.

 

Gronk panning out though didn't change the fact he did have legit medical flags.  There are a significantly more amount of players with medical concerns and red flags who didn't pan out.  So if Darnell Washington's medicals are a legit concern, he is going to drop for sure into 2nd round or possibly lower if they are significant concerns, especially in a rich TE class at the top.  Now if the medicals are being exaggerated (very possible) to try and drive his price down, then he could go in the first still.

Hot take.... Jack Campbell will still be on the board at #59.

 

Is this really a hot take though?  I mean I think this is the range most people expect him to go

In most places, no. Here? Certainly warmish. 

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

Beane will draft one S/LB hybrid on day three.  It will be someone that profiles like Milano (size, speed, etc.).

Marte Mapu, S/LB hybrid Sacramento St, 6'3", 217 lbs, Bills met with him.

[kenny3000]

The Bills will finally address the trenches and draft a DL + OL with their 1st two picks, like championship caliber teams do.
