I know you’re not asking me but I don’t think Douglas is back and Elam is a disaster and can’t see them committing to playing him next year. I think they would like to draft a Cornerback with one of the 3 picks and draft a guy on day 3 it just didn’t work out as I don’t let guys drop to assist the Bills 

If the zebras can assist KC all day, I don't see why you can't finesse the narrative a little.

Thanks to the OP for all this work …. Much appreciated…

 

Im a little low on the Bills first round pick … but it’s still early in the process 👍

Your going to see a lot of variation in this years mock drafts because there is large group of players from early 20s to probably in the 60s or 70s

Great year to be picking 3 times in that window.

Are you hoping for CB with one of our top 3?  I think I’d rather roll the dice with 2 day 3 picks.  If one doesn’t pan out- we roll with Elam and make a trade in season for a CB if we need to. 
 

At the moment, I don’t think there are any WRs projected to go where we pick that would earn many snaps over any of our current WRs, especially if we bring back Mack.  Mack, Keon, Shakir and Samuels isn’t what most of us want but if we draft a WR in rd 2-3- he’s likely not playing very much in 25 imo.  Maybe Golden?   But he can’t block.  
 

I think our only chance to get a legit 1 is trading for one or signing Higgins.  I don’t think either are going to happen. Our offense isn’t predicated on having a WR1-  which could all change the following year if Brady becomes a HC.  Seems like using tons of resources on WR might be a waste strictly due to Bradys offensive formula. 
 

our best chance to get an impact pass rusher is probably a trade as well- but it’s a decent DL class with some upside.  

 

this is a massive offseason for Beane- I’m praying that we can hit on an impact defensive lineman this season.  

 

Depends who’s there to be honest. There is a lot of quality on the interior DTs so it’ll be interesting to see who goes in the first round outside of the Michigan boys (Graham/Grant). I’d actually like to see them double dip in the draft at line, edge and tackle. It’s not ideal given the history of what we’ve drafted and invested but it is the essential fix to get Sean’s defense playing at a higher level. It also should improve the other guys we have in Groot/AJ/Ed as well as the secondary. 
 

The Elam pick is probably going to put a lot of people off them going CB, and rightly so, but it shouldn’t be out of the picture. I’m not the biggest fan of Benford but he is a great player and one that might end up pricing himself out of Buffalo. Some foresight to address that would be nice but @ 30 there’s only a couple of guys worth it. 
 

Revel, Amos and Thomas. If Thomas tests well and he passes the Commanders going by Gonzo’s draft, I wouldn’t be opposed as I think he’s a quality player. Definitley above where most draft boards have him for the 2nd to 3rd. (First round like Gonzo is where I think he ends up with good testing)

 

Preferably they go DT as it probably remedies a lot more problems we have if they get it right. Then go corner with a later pick if inclined. LSU’s Alexander could be a guy to watch bounce around the board. The measurables are there and he played wel against top opponents. 
 

Tee Higgins is interesting to me, great player but he’s played alongside a pretty decent WR so there’s some questions on the table. He’s also one of the few talents in that FA market and might end up like Ridley last year where he priced himself to teams absolute desperate for and to pay a WR. 

Speed is needed and the ones who test well we could have a chance at nabbing with one of our 2 seconds. 
Stanford’s Ayomanor & Texas’ Isaiah Bond  are ones to watch. Bigger guys who game field stretching speed. Production is there last season too. I also think Bond could have had a more impressive season of Ewers focused on getting him the ball, though forcing the issue is never ideal. 
 

All in all, I agree 100% with you. This is an off-season we need to knock it out of the park in the draft with whichever route they take.

As soon as I read undersized, it was an immediate no. This may not have been a problem in college, but will be a problem in the a NFL. Plus, DB is a bigger need.

The Patriots being virtually guaranteed of Hunter or Carter is not ideal. Both are absolute studs at premier positions. Pairing Hunter with Gonzalez would be nasty

Well to be fair that’s what happens when you suck lol

[RyanC883]

I like this a lot,  but I would take Harmon in Rd 1.

If Revel gets close to us, I could see McD tell Beane to trade up a couple spots. If he's unattainable then get the best DT on the board (Grant/ Harmon/ Nolen).  56 I'm good with either Harris or Bond.  Then get maybe Jack Sawyer or Burch??

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

If we select a 1st and 2nd round edge rusher every year maybe Beane will hit on one eh? 😀

I would much prefer the Bills to trade for a proven end of one is available like Hendrickson, Crosby etc but everyone will be in on that and no guarantee we get one. I guess you gotta keep trying till you hit 

[Special K]

I see you "considered" S Xavier Watts in the 2nd round, and I would go with him there if he were available.

 

I was high on Cole Bishop as a second rounder before the draft last year, and believe he will take a big step forward next year, but I am actually even higher on Watts than Bishop.

 

I think a pairing of Bishop and Watts at the two Safety positions, Bishop at the SS position and Watts at FS, could become a dominant duo for years in the Bills Secondary.

Absolutely....the top priority should be exhausting every trade scenario to land Garrett or Crosby.  At least try Brandon. If it falls thru, then we're at the mercy of Brandon & his scouts.

Cleveland already said they aren't trading Garrett. Looking to extend him if anything.

Because teams never say one thing and do another right? 

[gonzo1105]

Some other guys that I really like that didn’t make this mock draft are:

 

Andrew Mukuba S Texas

Devin Neal RB Kansas

Laquint Allen RB Syracuse

Darius Alexander DT Toledo

Xavier Restrepo WR Miami

Tory Horton WR Colorado State

David Walker DE/LB Central Arkansas

Cobee Bryant CB Kansas 

Oronde Gadsden TE Syracuse

My one of 3 guesses at 30 would be Grant, Harmon or Malaki Starks. Then hope we can get Bond in the 2nd.

 

Won't hold my breath. I thought BB was a fool last year for not moving enough in the draft to take advantage of the fact there were so many teams with multiple picks in the 1st 3 rds. I wanted him to use a 1st or 2nd from 25 to get a couple extra.

 

.......And then he sat on his thumbs while the receivers fell. I did get my crush in Solomon though. He's gonna be our Hassan Reddick.

They will probably do like...sign Cam Heyward to a 2 yr. deal. Then maybe give Reddick a Leonard Floyd type deal. (Assuming they draft a  DT.)

I'm not expect anything over the top. I just don't want Von taking up a roster spot.

Mind if I add my 2 cents: Great work Gonzo:

Me: just picks no explanation; too much work I get paid for to do!!
