Last year, we knew about all of the combine, college pro day, phone/virtual, and in person visits the Bills had.  Does anyone have that for this year?

 

Granted, last year it made me think we were definitely going to draft either Troy Franklin or Xavier Legette, but still....

Based on this list, the Bills have not met with anyone more than twice.  I feel like that seems low.

 

We have met with:

8 DBs

15 DTs

8 Edge

2 K

5 LB

1 LS

2 OL

2 P

3 RB

9 S

1 TE

17 WR

As always, depends on a lot of variables. Who is there? Who is left? Did we trade up/down/stay put?

 

All depends on how the board falls and who and where Beane sees the value at the pick as opposed to waiting to address the position. 

 

Safety or EDGE  rusher could easily push into those top 3 picks IMO as well. I would venture that it's darn near 100% 2 of the 3 you mentioned will be picked in the first 2 rounds.

Smokescreen, I think we’re going Long Snapper in R1.

It's pretty clear that if we stay put at 30, there is a near certainty that we will come away with the first 2 rounds with both a DT and CB, in no particular order.  Personally, I think the drop off at CB from 30 to 56 is greater than the drop off of expected DT's at 30 and 56.  WR is clearly a need and priority based on their visits, but I don't love the value at 56, I think the value will be higher at both DT and CB at 56 than WR and not sure WR is BPA at our next pick either.

 

So if I was to put a wager on the draft, it would be CB - DT order with out first 2 picks.  While WR is clearly on deck, I am not expecting one in the 2nd round as I am not convinced that at either of our picks WR will be the best value.  I can see one at 30 or a move up from 30 if the right guy was there, but I think its a much lower possibility than DB/DL.  

 

I think we are going to end up with a pick in the 3rd round...either regaining it through a trade back somewhere or using our large pool of day 3 picks to move up from 109.  And I can see WR there and it wouldn't surprise me if it was WR Donte Thornton, he makes too much sense for us, they have had him in for private workouts and we seem to be showing a lot of interest.  At 6'5" with 4.3 speed and good hands, he isn't likely reaching us at 109.

 yes, he seems almost like the DJ Metcalf of this draft. Not great college production but athletic tests are incredible. I would love to find that in the third.

At a glance,  matching player visits with the round I'd expect them to be selected,  I'm thinking DT, CB and DE in some order with those first three picks,  with the WR being a R4 or 5 guy.  

 

I don't necessarily like that,  either.  I'd like to see them take a WR earlier,  assuming the value isn't out of balance.

A lot of those WRs are day 3 type guys. There's certainly a pretty good chance you're right. I'd expect more CB, DT, and DE. But ultimately, I'm sure it depends on which prospects are there when they pick.

No quite that high because I think edge and safety are in the mix there too. But I think CB and DT as 2 of the 3 picks are close to 99.9%.

The only way I want a safety drafted in the first 2 days is if after he’s drafted Hamlin is immediately released.

Didn’t realize they spent so much time with Isaiah Bond. Don’t love that.

I don’t see Kenneth Grant’s name anywhere on Talbots list besides just combine visit. He did a full Buffalo visit?

This list isn't correct. Scourton visited. I hadn't heard Thomas or Grant did but wouldn't surprise me on either.
