Shavon Revel Jr.'s ACL tear makes for an interesting situation.

 

He tore it on 9/18/24. Which would make Week 1 just about 1 full year from injury. So he should be ready to play by then. But will he be able to do anything in Training Camp or the Pre-Season? And would McDermott start a Rookie who hasn't played Football in a year and is making the leap from College to the Pro's on top of that - especially if he's limited or a no go in the Offseason?

 

I think talent wise, if he were to fall to 30 or within striking range - you have to heavily consider him the pick. Though I do worry about McDermott's conservative nature when it comes to his contributions in Year 1. I'd say start Dane Jackson for a little while, easing Revel in and replacing Jackson as soon as possible. But as we saw with Bishop's injury last year and Hamlin starting in his place - I could see a scenario where if he started Jackson it would just be Jackson's job all year with a focus on Revel in Year 2. 

With a Revel yell he cried "more more more (playing time)".

That's very fine, but I'd still prefer Unconditional Surrender.

I’m not conceding that they HAVE to take a CB at 30, but rather it’s a big problem if they don’t - unless they have a credible if aging vet lined up to sign if they don’t take a CB at 30.  I’ll admit that part of my hang up is that I would not want to part with pick 62 to move up far enough to take a CB by mid-2nd.  If they go DT first the candidates that seem to have any potential to start this year will likely be gone by 56.  If they go CB first, I am pretty confident that there will still be a decent 1T prospect at 56 or 62.

 

As many have mentioned, Brandon Beane typically leaves one glaring hole in the starting lineup every single year going into the draft.

 

This year his biggest free agent acquisitions were Joey Bosa at DE (replacing Von Miller) and Josh Palmer at WR (replacing Amari Cooper/Mack Hollins).  At CB, he's basically replaced Rasul Douglas with Dane Jackson... who he was always trying to upgrade during his last stint with the team.  Plus he finally gave up on Kaiir Elam, leaving another depth hole at the position.

 

We are almost certainly going CB with our first pick.  Whether he's the BPA or not.

I think you are right- I hope that their pick won’t be a major reach.  I think a lot of the favorites that have been talked about here will be gone before 30 anyway.  Some of the luster seems to be wearing off of the Grant evaluations.  He might make it to 30 and they still might take Amos, Revel or even Thomas.

If there are not a lot of first round grades on players in the draft, this may be the year to use one of our second round picks to move up to get a player that has a first round grade and can make an immediate contribution.

Yes the higher you draft a player the more likely they can make a difference but you can get impact anywhere as this article shows: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-rookie-rankings-jayden-daniels-goes-wire-to-wire-as-no-1-brian-thomas-jr-tops-wr-hierarchy

You're both wrong... it's MOOT point. Let Google be your friend... look it up.

No.  It WAS a mute point because I wanted @boyst to shut up.

Amos and Revel are about as perfect a fit as you can get for the Bills and their scheme
