I'd take those first 4 picks. It's a bit "high floor, lower ceiling" other than Morrison but I think they'd all find a role on this team.

I love Grant but I’ll be stunned if he makes it past the Chargers. Harbaugh connection and they have a need for a big DT

Package our picks at 30 and 56 to move up to 17 or 18 to pick wrs Luther Burden or Emeka Egbuka; Hollins and Amari are free agents over 30yrs old, Samuel lacks big play; Josh can turn those draft prospects into uperstars 

 

While the team certainly needs better WR than they have now, not sure I would trade that much for either of those 2.  Love the stout build and running ability of Burden, but is he even a decent route runner at this point and does he need to play slot or maybe Z?  Love Egbuka’s route running,  but he’s not a deep threat and seems to operate away from the bonundary.  Bills already have guys to play in middle of the field with Shakir and Kincaid/Knox.

Like it a lot if Morrison is healthy.  Really think DE is a big need though and there should be someone worth a pick there at 30 or either 2nds.  Still, hard to quarrel with CB, WR, DT and I particularly like Collins as a run stuffer in the middle.

Yes, get a Vet Cb in free agency.

Love these threads... I add zero value here LOL I am so not a draftnik, but I love getting the insight here, one of my favorite parts of this board...

Not crazy about Walker - I don’t know if he is really the dominant run defender that his size suggests.

 

Sawyer end of 2nd is nice, but he’s will probably be gone before that.  Good run defender who can get effort sacks.

 

CB and S are surely needs.  I would guess Winston is gone before that pick.

 

I like Bech, but after his Senior Bowl, I think he will go considerably earlier.

[RyanC883]

here are two attempts from today.  Interested in any thoughts: 

 

 

 

take away here is that there should be solid CB or safety help at 30, and the DL depth continues for a few rounds.  It will be very hard to get an impactful X in this draft.  There is some interesting mid-round WR prospects, but none you can "pencil in."  Some good backup LBs available as well.

Would love if we draft a dl named Jordan Philips and then bring back Jordan Philips. Total chaos 🙂

Not too up on the individual prospects just yet but I see the Bills needs heading into the offseason as the following. This assumes that Ty Johnson, Anderson, and Mack are all back, if the Bills want all 3 back they should be able to bring them back esp Anderson whose a restricted free agent.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing CB/DT/DE/WR hit early although I would also like to see Hamlin resigned and move safety down to more of a "development needed" area lessening the need to find depth at the position and I would like to see the Bills in free agency find a starter at DT/CB/WR/DE take one of those major needs off the board at least. Bills should be with the volume of picks they have and will have once comp picks are determined should be able to address impactfully 2-3 starting needs and 3-4 depth needs at a minimum while adding developmental players as needed. 

 

Starters 

1. WR - Bills need to replace Cooper as a quality boundary WR. 
2. DT- Bills need a big One Tech DT to replace D.Jones who might be washed or at the very least need to recede into being a rotational player. 
3. DE- Bills need more pass rush punch off the edge. 
4. CB- Replacing Douglas on the outside opposite Benford

Key Depth 

1. S- If the Bills don't resign Hamlin this could be a need for at least quality depth given that Rapp seems to get banged up. 
2. CB- Bills need to find more depth even if they sign a vet to replace Douglas they need some development at the position. 
3. DT- Austin Johnson needs to be replaced as a 4/5 DT. Even if the Bills draft a DT high up or acquire a vet some depth there is needed. 
4. LB- Bills always seem to need bodies at LB and with Milano getting older it is key they find a way to add a depth piece here. 

Development needed 

1. Guard - Offensive line seems mostly good but brining in a late round guard seems prudent. I see the offensive line depth as Van Dermark swing tackle, Anderson jumbo offensive line backup interior O-line, SVPG backup center, and Grable as a solid third string tackle. A guard to develop here makes sense. 
2. TE3- Knox and Kincaid are a very strong pairing but Knox is on the older side and Morris while a quality third stringer is what he is (a good marginal player) brining in a later round TE to compete here makes sense. 
3. QB- Doesn't hurt to have a QB developing behind Mitch not a major need but if you have a glut of late round picks grabbing a QB late is not a bad way to develop the edges of the roster. 
4. WR- Adding a WR6 to the roster that can develop behind Mack and Samuel to take a depth slot in a year or so is a need here.

If Beane passed on a more modest trade up for Specimen X Brian Thomas Jr. last year because he entered the draft focused on "recouping their third rounder" then traded up even further for YAC-lord Burton or a speed slot like Egbuka this year I will call for his resignation immediately.

All BTJ would've cost us is Cole Bishop.  The bottom line is Brandon is a collosal fail evaluating wrs and defensive talent.  And those just happen to be our greatest weakness right now. Josh is only going to put up with this crap for so long.

please draft a huge DT in the mid rounds

I've played around with about 5 of these simulators and can't seem to find one whose rankings are great.  Anyone have a suggestion which site has the best rankings?

They’re pretty much all around the same and it’s going to come down to personal preference for most people. Trades on most of those sites are absolutely ridiculous and don’t hold attribute to real value of current or future draft picks. 
 

Besy way is to experiment and see what you like.
