Logic Posted March 27 Posted March 27 There's a tradition amongst draftniks to plant their flags and declare Their Guys for draft season. I figured we could use a thread to that effect. This is the place to tell us: Who are Your Guys this year and why? You certainly CAN name guys like Marvin Harrison Jr or Caleb Williams, but it's not exactly going out on a limb to declare your confidence in consensus top five prospects. Instead, I'm more interested to know of that late round gem WR or day two small school prospect that you're just sure is gonna be a steal. Anyway...you've scoured the game tape, you've read the scouting reports, you've seen the RAS scores and combine results. Who are Your Guys for the 2024 NFL Draft? Quote
gonzo1105 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 (edited) Early round guys: Quinyon Mitchell CB Toledo Ladd McConkey WR Georgia Braden Fiske DT Florida State Kiran Amegadjie OT Yale( might slip due to injuries) Mid Round Guys: Tez Walker WR UNC Tyler Davis DT Clemson Ray Davis RB Kentucky Christian Mahogany OG Boston College Jarrion Jones CB FSU Late Round: JT Clark WR UTSA Kedon Slovis QB BYU Mason McCormick OG SDSU Cody Schrader RB Missouri Jaxon Janke WR SDSU There are more but those are my fav guys Edited March 27 by gonzo1105 7 1 Quote
warrior9 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Wouldn't mind seeing Luke McCaffrey in mid-rounds. I think he can / will play right away, develop a little bit and then will be a very good, if not a stud. 2 1 1 Quote

NastyNateSoldiers Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Here's some of my guys I want to see the Bills draft. Not in any particular order. Wr- AD Mitch 1st Wr- X Leggette 1st/2nd Wr- X Worthy 1st/2nd Wr- Malik Washington 3rd meaning trade up or 4th DT- K Jenkins 2nd DT- B Fiske 2nd DE - M Kneeland 4th DE- M Kamara 4th SS - J Williams 4th FS- J Bullard 2nd/3rd FS- C Kitchens 2nd 1 Quote
Kirby Jackson Posted March 27 Posted March 27 As a bit of a sleeper, I’d take a shot on the talent of Xavier Thomas in the middle rounds. 1 Quote
MJS Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I used to care about the draft a lot more when we sucked and needed a QB. It was like our superbowl. These days, I just let it happen and then get acquainted with the guys the Bills draft. Life is easy. 6 3 1 Quote
H2o Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Day 1: Xavier Legette - Been the WR I wanted since early in this process, even before the Playoffs started. I know Steve Smith said DK, but I think more AJ Brown. Brian Thomas - I think he's more than just a burner. I actually think he's got some Devante Adams to his game. Cooper DeJean - I think the guy is an All-Pro just waiting to happen. Graham Barton - Most versatile OL'man in the draft imo. I think he's a high level starter from day 1. Day 2: T'Vondre Sweat - Truly one of my favorite players in the draft. The LB's from whatever team drafts him will LOVE this guy. Opposing OL's will HATE him. Bo Nix - Say what you will, but I think Nix goes to have a Derek Carr-esque career as a QB drafted in the 2nd. Khyree Jackson - I think the system matters and I believe he would be an excellent CB in a Zone scheme like we play. Day 3: Audric Estime - He didn't time well in the 40 (that's why I think he goes early 4th now), but he's a monster with play speed that sneaks up on you. Marist Liufau - Another ND product, this one at LB. He flies all over the field and loves to hit people. Luke McCaffrey - I just think it's in the blood lines. I think he turns into a serviceable WR ala Brandon Stokley. That's who he reminds me of. 4 1 1 1 Quote
Mat68 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Rd 1. Chop Robinson, Brian Thomas Jr, Xavier Worthy Johnson Powers Rd 2. Ruke Orhorhoro, Kris Jenkins, Khyree Jackson, Roman Wilson, Xavier Leggette Later Vaki, Elijah Jones, Rice, Coleman, Lemmioux 2 Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Lots of "my guys" are already mentioned to include the WRs and T'Vondre Sweat. But now here's a guy.... Would like to take a late round pick and see if we can turn Milton into a long term cheap backup plan. 2 Quote
Sestak4ever Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I think McConkey is going to be star in the NFL. Very fluid, great hands, super route runner. Will be a go-to guy whoever gets him. 6 Quote
GunnerBill Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I'm doing this as just guys I like in the class and am really high on (probably higher than the consensus in some cases) rather than as fits for the Bills. Some are, some aren't and the days are where I have them graded more than where I think they go in some cases. Round 1 Quinyon Mitchell Johnny Newton Xavier Legette Jordan Morgan Day 2 Braden Fiske Christian Haynes Jaylen Wright Javon Baker Dadrion Taylor-Demerson Day 3 (more to come on these guys when I do my sleepers thread) Elijah Jones Deantre Prince Jalyx Hunt Darius Muasau Roger Rosengarten Cornelius Johnson Tip Reiman 5 1 Quote
Prospector Posted March 27 Posted March 27 If you haven't read up on Elijah Jones, CB from BC... he definitely fits the McD defense and late round potential to make an impact... 6'2", 42"vert, 131"broadjump, 4.44 40yd... excels playing zone. All ACC 1st team And David White Jr., WR... looked un-pressable in the East-West and Hula bowl, and constantly got separation off the line, and breaking his routes. I've seen reports saying he's anywhere from 6'2" to 6'4". But a guy that tall that can get separation on corners out of his breaks is impressive. 5 2 1 Quote

My only guy I think we differ on is Roger Rosengarten. I almost slide him into round 2 of my last mock and think he goes somewhere on Day 2 Quote
boyst Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Anyone from Toledo or Bowling Green. or any MAC school that isn't EMU, Ball State, Kent State, WMU, CMU, Buffalo, Akron, OU, Miami... and no one from Ichigan. Quote
GunnerBill Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Just now, gonzo1105 said: I like your list without rehashing, glad we agree on a couple. My only guy I think we differ on is Roger Rosengarten. I almost slide him into round 2 of my last mock and think he goes somewhere on Day 2 I could certainly see that. In a weaker class I think he'd be a cert for day 2. He is above the other more popular names in the tier for me the Foster, Goncalves, Fisher types who have been talked about in the same area of the draft. I have a 4th on Roger but I wouldn't hate on any team taking him in the third. Technically good, played in big games, elite athleticism at the position. It is just size really that is the knock. He will fall for teams who are very rigid on their parameters for tackles. Maybe some thing he can slide into guard? 1 Quote
LEBills Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Troy Franklin is my WR4 after the normal top 3 receivers i think if someone takes Byron Murphy ahead of Johnny Newton they are going to regret it. Payton Wilson is the most fun LB to watch in this draft but Nathaniel Watson will be the biggest bargain Chris Abrams-Draine is small but looked good in reps against Nabers and Legette Give me Mo Komara and Marcus Harris on day 3 Quote
strive_for_five_guy Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Brian Thomas Jr, Chop Robinson or anyone named Xavier 1 Quote
