Various Experts Mock Draft Predictions

[BCAS Baritone]

Thought it would be interesting to list who the Bills get based on various mock drafts by the "experts".  Here is what I've found so far.  Of course a lot depends on who goes 1-29.

 

NFL.com
Eric Edholm - CB Trey Amos
Chad Reuter - EDGE Mike Green
Mike Band - S Malaki Starks
Lance Zierlein - EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku
Charles Davis - CB Maxwell Hairston
Bucky Brooks - DT Kenneth Grant
Daniel Jeremiah - DT Kenneth Grant

 

The Athletic
Beat Writers Draft - CB Jahdae Barron (pick by Joe Buscaglia)

 

PFF
Mason Cameron - CB Trey Amos

 

CBS
Jonathan Jones - CB Maxwell Hairston
Ryan Wilson - S Malaki Starks
R.J. White - DL Walter Nolen
Pete Prisco - CB Shavon Revel

 

ESPN
Peter Schrager - S Malaki Starks
Beat Writers Draft - DT Kenneth Grant (pick by Alaina Getzenberg)

I am pretty much fine with all of those. I highly doubt Mike Green makes it to us, and then also have character concerns if he WAS available. Not sure how I would feel, but I have a pretty strong idea how our coaching staff would feel and they would likely pass on him. 
 

I feel like Walter Nolan is the guy if he lasts that long, but Grant would be great too. Luckily, even with our needs on defense, we are set up nicely to go BPA, which will most likely also be a position of need as well.

[RyanC883]

Amos or Grant are my top two fav assuming no trade ups.  Barron would be great, can't see him lasting until our pick. 

 

My guess is CB Amos, DT Collins, WR Royals, with the first three, and then some combination of: 

 

DT CJ West

LB Jack Kiser

a safety, hopefully Winston JR, Ransom, Bowman or Sanker

Edge Swinson, Burch, Kennard, Walker, Stewart or Sawyer.  

 

[Virgil]

I can't remember his name, but there was a guy out of Texas years ago that had a really high mock draft success rate.  Anyone like that today?

[buffalostu2]

I just can't see us going safety in round 1.  I think they want to give Bishop a chance.   Also Trey Amos doesn't tackle like a McDermott D back.

Was that Charlie Campbell (from Walter Football)?

Rick Gosselin is the guy you were probably thinking of.

Don't believe anything you hear this week related to the draft. There are more smokescreens going up then you would see at NASCAR races if every car was burning oil.

[BigAl2526]

What that shows is there is not even a ghost of a consensus as to how the draft will fall or what the Bills are thinking.  I even saw one mock recently that projected a guard to Buffalo at #30.  The rationale?  Sean McDermott wanted to ban the "tush push" because "the Bills were so ineffective at running it."  Huh?  "A guard would make it more effective."

I would love either Hairston or Grant, but it seems like both could go early.

Recent years Charlie and Peter Schrager are the two most consistent. Josh Norris was pretty good when he was at Rotoworld but the last couple of year's less so. Guess where he is now he has less access.

[Nihilarian]

I would like to see the Bills go overboard on defense this draft, as the defense falls on its face year after year due to injuries. Fill the positions with studs and depth.

 

I think they find a WR, RB in this draft though...

One thing I’m sure of is that Malaki Starks won’t be the pick…Beane uses the first round to take players at premium positions.  No way we take a safety in round 1, after picking one in round 2 last year.

Plus they really like Taylor Rapp…and Derrick Forest is going to be good, as well.

I just wish Walter Football didn't have so many pop-ups and ads. The content (if you can get to it) is great, but the site runs like-- date I say it?--a Keon Coleman 40-yard dash 😱😳😂

Agreed. Their website is almost completely unusable so I don’t visit it.

 

[Coach Tuesday]

Walter has us taking Revel and I agree his site is full of ad junk.

if a nasty arse guard falls at BPA, then im down for doubling down on a strength and getting younger on the OL. admit its not ideal, but i wouldnt shy from it either

This pick would intrigue the hell outta me.  Look what Coach did with Benford in 6th (5th? 7th?) round.  Imagine him grabbing the #1 Corner prospect on the discount shelf @ #30 due to injury? Absolute physical freak.  We could afford to bring him along during the season too.  Hed be tempting AF if hes sitting there

[Nihilarian]

I'm reading a lot of mocks that have the Bills taking Starks at #30. which, when I think about it, I like it a bunch as I recall how good that Buffalo secondary was with Hyde, Poyer running all over. S, DL, CB, DL are my first four.

[947]

Malaki Starks would be a great pick. He's a Free Safety & that still leaves Strong Safety for Bishop if he can beat out Rapp.

 

Starks is a legit 1st round talent, and you can't say that about most of the players who could be available at #30. He'd be a Day 1 starter & monumental upgrade over Hamlin.

I'm so glad all this useless BS is over tomorrow.  I hate mock draft season...
