Top 5 Players Bills Draft

[CEN-CAL17]

Not based on who I like, but who I think the Bills like, fits their system and position of need based on best available.

 

Rd 1- I really think the pick is Trey Amos CB Ole Miss. tons of experience at a high level and excels in zone schemes, good size and speed. CB2 needs a huge upgrade. After the top 3-4 CBs, talent drops off. 

 

RD 2- DT & WR

 

DT- Tyleik Williams Ohio St

Darius Alexander Toledo

Alfred Collins Texas

 

WR- Isaiah Bond Texas

Jalen Royals Utah St

 

Sleeper Pick - I feel may be under rated is Elic Ayomanor WR Stanford. 6’2” 4.45 speed 1.58 10 yard. Big time blocker. Canadian . Vs Travis Hunter 13 catches, 300 yards 3 TDs. Seems like a McBeane type player. Potential move back into rd 3 to grab.

 

Another: I love Carson Schwesinger LB UCLA. Would be a great Milano replacement. LB is a position the Bills need another stud. Outside of Bernard, super weak and vulnerable. Why are we not talking about LBr as a position that needs help????

There is talk about Schwesinger going in round 1 and will most likely go top 40. Bond is probably off the board especially after Araiza situation. Alexander prob goes before the Bills pick as well

I don't know the who exactly but I expect 2 DL and one of a CB/WR in the first two rounds.  I would put CB as 4th out of the need positions because having Dane and Tre produces a pretty good floor for that position.   They have done so many WR visits it makes me think they  want that.   Of course it always depends on how their board falls in the draft.

If we go Isaiah Bond in the 2nd then we really are transitioning from a team of choir boys to a team of outlaws.  It's a bold strategy.

I have a hard time seeing Bond on Buffalo’s board

That’s why I didn’t put specific pick numbers. Yes there will need to be movement. Potentially move out of round 1, and move all around rd 2.

I don’t see anything coming from the Bond accusations. He was quick to flip it on his accusers which convinces me there is actual witnesses that deny allegations and it’s all just a potential money grab.

Big Ayomanor fan. Upside is Mike Evans but he needs a lot of time being taught proper catching form.

 

Tony Pauline is one of my favorite draft guys and he has said twice watch the Ravens and Bills for Scwesinger at the end of round 1.

 

Rd 1. I personally also like Amos but the Bills have only drafted one player in the first round that was older than 22 - Dalton Kincaid. He hasn’t been reported as a top 30 visit but I think Azareye’h Thomas would be in play. Only 20 years old, and healthy. All the other top CBs are either older, have an injury history or both.

 

Either that or a DE they like may drop - Landon Jackson, Nic Scorton, etc

 

Rd 2. This is when they go after a DT with their first second rounder imo. Tyleik Williams, TJ sanders and Josh Farmer would be my top guesses.

 

The second second round pick will probably be BPA - DE, WR or Safety. Kevin Winston, Kyle Kennard, Swinson or Royals.

You don't spend a day two pick on a person currently being criminally charged for sexual allegations (in this case rape).  Plus, he won't make it by the Chiefs at pick 31 or the Browns at pick 34.

Amos is only just older than 22 though. He turned 23 in March. Kincaid turned 24 during his rookie season. So I agree it is a bit of a diversion from their normal process but not a massive one. 

 

I do basically think it is Amos, Hariston or Scourton at #30. 

 

Agree first 2nd rounder I expect a DT

Agree after that it is BPA at those spots.... Swinson and Royals would be the most exciting of those options.

I don’t think you’ll see a WR early.  I think Beane will go after a speed receiver in the 4th rd like Thornton, Arian Smith, Felton or Kyle Williams.   The name of this early draft is bolstering the defense with premium picks.  
 

Our starters at 3 key D positions, run stopping D Line (Jones), CB2 (White) and edge rusher (Bosa), are all on 1 years deals and all have significant age and/or injury history.  Beane will draft their understudies/replacements with his 1st 3 picks.  Given the depth of DT and Edge in the top 70 players and a fair amount of corners who should be available late in the 1st, this draft kind of plays into our needs.

Just based on the list of pre-draft visits,  I think you're right.  They seem to be doing most of their work at WR on guys projected to go on day 3.  

 

I'm not sure I like that,  either,  but if I had to guess,  CB, DT and DE are the likely day 1 and 2 picks, barring trades.

Yea but if Tre White was just a few months younger too then Kincaid would have been the only one not 21 or younger when drafted. Amos was at Louisiana under Billy Napier who the Bills seem to have a good relationship with so that is a plus in his favor.

 

I would be happy with one of those 3 but the more I look at it the less likely I think it will be Hairston. In addition to him being on the smaller side and having that shoulder injury, He just got invited to the draft to I kinda think he goes earlier in round 1. 

 

[Wizard]

The only WR that interests me with our 1st pick at #30 or a small trade up (4 or 5 spots) is Golden. 

 

As GASabresIUFan stated, our three top 70 picks need to be starters/next year replacements at DT, DE, and CB. That is what will most improve our team in the short and long-term.

 

 

[BuffaloBillyG]

Bond has a better chance going undrafted completely then going round 2 to anyone IMO.

[Maynard]

I’m all in on Royals. Really hoping we snag him.

I don’t see us taking a CB at 30. Maybe if we trade down with a QB needy team (Giants at 34), New Orleans at 40.

 

Prediction:

trade 30 and 108 to NYG for 34 and 65

 

34 Grant

56 Harrison, Revel, Morrison (one will drop due to size and injuries)

62  Jalen Royals

65  JT Tuimoloau

I bet he grabs one in the 2nd. We brought in several of them for a visit.  And you are forgetting they signed Michael Hoecht. I be he takes over full time once Bosa is gone.

Golden scares me. He did have a nice 2024 and a killer combine but pre 2024 he was viewed as a 3rd round pick. We’re not trading up for him with our needs at DT and CB. I like taking a chance on Jalen Royals or Kevin Williams in the 2nd or Thornton JR in the 4th.

I expect that too but I'd go DT, CB, DE, and WR in that order as far as positional needs.  If a safety falls to them I wouldn't be surprised if they went that route either.
