This is cray.  I got 9 players (including Troy Franklin and Michael Hall), and 29 picks in 2025.  11 4th rounders, 2 seconds, 3 thirds, etc.

that’s some madden stuff right there. If your really good you can flip all those and have about 7-8 picks in the first round. 

 

now I want to go and try and see how many I can accumulate for next year and still get 2-3 starters this year.

Much more movement than I usually allow myself. Only trading back, of course. Never up. As a fan I'd ***** a brick if the Bills waited until their 3rd pick to grab a WR, but I think you'll agree this draft represents a workable restocking of the interior lines (cutting Morse in favor of someone who might be even better already, and adding 2 specimens at DT), while still adding two legitimate receiver prospects. Young numbers at safety, edge, and QB as well.

Won't matter if we score 46 a game, am I right?

I’d be a fan of it. I go back and forth myself on picking C in the draft. Part of me wants to do it to have a backup and give them a year before they get rid of Morse. Part of me wants to draft one of the first 2-3 guys to replace Morse right away. And part of me wants them to extend Morse and clear up some of the cap room and keep him another 2-3 years.

Pro Football Network using their updated Big Board (no trades):

 

28 - Brian Thomas, Wide Receiver, LSU

 

Thomas seems to be getting down as far as the Bills since they updated their big board as Keon Coleman looks to have jumped him. Not sure how realistic it is. I still have Franklin and Legette graded slightly higher than him but the consensus has Thomas ahead of both and he certainly fits my criteria of a dynamic outside receiver for Josh.

 

60 - T'Vondre Sweat, Defensive Tackle, Texas

 

Sweat is a starting 1 tech pretty early in my view and when I watched him I was surprised at how much push he gets in his pass rush for a big guy. I'm not totally sold he is their type and this may be a bit of a low hanging fruit pick but I don't tend to love where the board leaves you as the Bills at the back end of round two. 

 

99 - Jonah Elliss, Edge, Utah

 

Elliss is a little undersized but he has NFL pedigree and he was productive in college. He has a good get off and I think he just finds a way to affect the passer. He is probably a situational pass rusher as a rookie and the Bills would probably want him to add some bulk which I think his frame will take, but is probably needed if he is going to have any impact against the run on early downs.

 

128 - Tykee Smith, Safety, Georgia

 

Smith lacks a little speed but he can play deep, can hit in the box and he can come up and cover slot guys too. I think he is potentially a long term replacement for Micah Hyde even if he might take some time to crack the lineup as a rookie.

 

158 - Javon Baker, Wide Receiver, UCF

 

I like Baker as a mid round fit for the Bills if their early pick is someone like Thomas. Baker's deficit is he isn't the quickest but he is a very good route runner for a guy coming out of college and you can see him playing that flanker role ultimately opposite a downfield receiver like Thomas is. I suppose he has a touch of Stefon Diggs about him and if he lives up to his potential could be a successor to #14.

 

161 - Beaux Limmer, Center, Arkansas

 

Developmental center with good movement skills and a nuanced understanding of how to maintain blocks throughout the rep. He isn't the thickest below the waist and you might want him to bulk up there to improve his anchor. Not a starter as a rookie but could start down the road. 

 

197 - Jo Milton, Quarterback, Tennessee

 

I want the Bills to take a shot on a late round Quarterback but I want a toolsy ceiling guy not a physically limited college smart game manager. Milton was wildly inconsistent in the Senior Bowl, both during the week and the game but the army strength, mobility and quick release were all on display. If he shows some promise I'd even be willing to commit a 3rd roster spot to Quarterback in 2024 if I thought that in 2025 and beyond he could be a cheap as chips backup.

 

201 - Decorian Patterson, Corner, UCF

 

This kid screams Bills. Has experience inside and outside, smart, good instincts, good recovery speed that means he is rarely beaten deep. You know Brandon Beane is always going to throw a late day 3 pick as a DB somewhere. He'd be a nice pickup and could secure a roster spot initially as the primary backup at nickel. 

 

205 - Cedric Johnson, Edge, Ole Miss

 

They need depth at Dline so why not take another shot here. Johnson is more of a bigger end who is going to be stout v the run and more of a straight ahead rusher but he might be an interesting developmental piece. 

 

245 - Darius Muasau, Linebacker, UCLA

 

I know linebacker depth isn't a major need but loved this kid at the Shrine bowl and I reckon he'd play some special teams for you as well as providing depth at middle linebacker.

This accepted a 2 & 4 next year to get up to 12.  Realistically we'd need to give our 1st. 

 

But, this is the first time I've gotten Odunze.  Pretty happy about Burton in the 3rd as well

Keon Coleman seems to have moved way up on different mock simulators.  Any ideas why?   Maybe whispers that a bunch of teams like him enough? 

Edited February 16 by Warriorspikes51

[Warriorspikes51]

Traded next year's 3 to get Adonai in middle of round 2.   Franklin and Mitchell would be extremely exciting 

[Warriorspikes51]

[Warriorspikes51]

Next year's 3rd to secure Sweat.   Happy with other picks too

Yea I think the senior bowl is the first place team scouts and media chat to each other casually about prospects and suddenly you see guys move.
