One of the NFL schedule makers was on Murphy this afternoon and Justified the Dallas Thanksgiving game as the Bills primetime game meanwhile the Giants on like four or five times. Typically Murphy and Tasker through lightweight questions at him.

Nate usually has a good feel for the draft but I don't see them moving up for the cost in the early first. He does a good job hosting WGR's day 2-3 draft coverage when our radio volume usually goes up and television volume goes down.

Sounds a lot like moving up for Watkins when they could have stayed and taken Beckham or Evans or Cooks. I really hope they don’t make this mistake. Even if Williams is the best DT to come out of this draft, doesn’t mean Oliver and the other assets wouldn’t have been a better combination for the Bills.
And that’s not even considering that if the Bucs do take a DT like Williams or Oliver, that DT Gerald McCoy is definitely on the block. Just trade for him!
I know I'm like a broken record - but McBeane went all in on Allen.
Now they have to give him the tools to succeed. Last season was one of the most anaemic nfl offences ever.
I get that they addressed many positions in FA but none of these guys maybe save Morse could be described as anywhere near elite.
They have to use the high pick(s) on the offensive side of the ball.
I'll be so mad if/when they go for D.

Thank you for stating would I've been feeling and bringing me back to where I was.
I've been slipping. I think I've started to resign myself to going D and have been thinking about how I'd rather have Sweat or Oliver than Gary or Wilkins. Like it's a foregone conclusion.
But yes, I still prefer O over any defensive position. As much as I hate the idea of a highly drafted TE, I'd even be ok with OK at this point if they want to do that thing. My number one favorite option is this Marquise Brown, but I feel like he's not even on their radar. I have big concerns about Metcalf, but if they're sold on him I'm willing to give it a try. Any OL would also be fine with me. More offense please.

I've decided to do a mock draft, against my better judgment. This will be my only one. I don't expect the Bills draft to look anything like this, but here we go:
Trade: Down with someone and pick up an extra second. I don't know how realistic this is or the optics of it. I'm hoping someone wants a QB or DL enough to make the deal. Let's say Redskins at 15? I don't know. Just assume this deal is sitting there.
Round 1: Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma: My absolute favorite player in the draft. I think he's getting very underrated. Had he ran at the combine, I think he would've had the best time and would be looked at as a top 10 pick. But his small size (why do we still care about this) and coming off an injury will ding him. But what he is is a lightning fast receiver with solid hands, great route running, and impeccable college production. Everyone compares him to Desean Jackson, but what I actually see is Tyreek Hill. Yes, he can burn you deep like Jackson has made a career doing. But his tape is actually littered with him doing Hill's favorite play, running a 10-15 yard button hook and being wide open because they have to respect you deep. That's an NFL route and play. He has elite run away speed before and after the catch and I think he has higher potential than any receiver in the draft. Worst case scenario is a run deep one trick pony. Best case scenario he's Tyreek Hill (who quietly was top 5 in yards, touchdowns, and yards per reception last year). This is my guy.
Round 2A: Best offensive lineman available. I don't know who these guys are. Just infuse more talent into the line. Get someone at some position.
Round 2B: Dawson Knox, TE, Mississippi: Knox is kind of the perfect TE for the Bills. His blocking is NFL-ready, something the Bills have made clear they value. This means he will be able to get on the field early (as opposed to a guy that needs to learn to block, who they would sideline). Also, although his route running and receiving abilities are undeveloped, the potential is clear. He has great measurable (size and speed) for a TE and it's easy to envision him leveraging those advantages into starting quality play. Kroft ends up being the perfect bridge to Knox.
Round 3: Bryce Love, RB, Stanford: You will say this is a reach, that I could get him day 3, fine. I don't care. I think Love is the best RB in the draft and if he's there in the third I'm taking him, no questions asked. He is, in my opinion, the model of an NFL RB. He has electric speed, is great in open space, and is a stellar receive. Think McCaffrey-lite. He's coming off a bad injury and a bad season before the injury, but coming into this season he was talked about as a first round pick. Ease him into the rotation during McCoy's last year, then watch him emerge as the clear starter by year's end. He's exactly what I want in our backfield.
Round 4A: Vosean Joseph, LB, Florida: The Bills need to add some depth to their LB corp. Joseph is a guy they brought in and he seems like a great fit. Think the typical model of Bills LBs: undersized but very fast and athletic. He slots in as Milano's immediate backup.
Round 4B: Some defensive lineman. No idea who. Give me an undersized DT that has good speed and college production but fell for some stupid reason.
Round 5A: Another defensive lineman. Maybe a SLB/DE combo player like Lorenzo? I'm sure that player exists, just haven't had time to find him yet.
Round 5B: I'm sure we'll take a corner. Probably someone that can play safety too. Might as well be here.
Round 6: James Williams, RB, Washington State: This guy isn't getting talked about at all, and I don't understand it. He's a RB that 48, 71, and then 83 receptions his three years in college. His last two years he actually had more receiving yards than rushing yards. These are the kind of players I fervently believe the NFL is trending toward. I could just see him being a James White type. Unspectacular without great measurables or tape, but consistently puts down great receiving numbers. I feel like so many good offenses have a player like this, and I want our version. I see him instantly stepping in as a pass catching specialist, not just on third down, but as a second back, out of the backfield, in the slot, etc.
Round 7A&B: Don't care. Trade for picks next year? We probably have too many picks as is.

Keep in mind it would be very difficult for them to have room to roster 10 draft picks, even if they hit on all of them on some level.
I think they're very likely to trade up to land target players on Day 3.
I would also be very happy with them drafting a high impact defensive lineman at 9.
my Bills Board
1. Q Williams
2. N Bosa
3. E Oliver
4. J Allen
5. J Williams
6. TJ Hockenson
7. M Sweat (if he passes character issues after getting kicked out of Michigan State)
8. Brian Burns
9. DK Metcalf
10. Christian Wilkins
11. J Taylor

The smoke keeps coming. I do not see Oliver lasting until 9 but perhaps his weight will scare some away.

Daniel Jeremiah: Usually try to do something to support the young QB (10:16)
NFL Network Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah discussed who he thinks is a good mock draft fit for the Bills, some of the top QB prospects, and which teams could look to take one.

As a Seminoles fan, Burns is quite the talented player, but he's not a top-15 pick in my eyes.
The Cards and whether they take Kyler Murray will have a big impact on the draft landscape in the early 1st round.

Why because you read that he struggled in the national championship versus Clemson? He's a very solid lineman, intelligent, passionate, and 3 year starter. whether or not he is the pick at 9 who knows. I also would suggest Dillard as a distinct possibility if there other choices are gone or the trade back a few spots.

Why gross? I’d be satisfied with any of the olineman
