Reid's new two-round NFL mock draft: Which prospects are rising in the top 64 picks after the combine?
Jordan Reid projects landing spots for top NFL prospects, three QBs and plenty of combine risers over the opening 64 picks. And he even has an early trade.
Note that oft-discussed DL Tyleik Williams goes 63rd in this mock draft. Also oft-discussed mammoth Kenneth Grant goes 15th.

CB is just about the last position I'd want to see in round 1. I'd be happy to take another receiver if a stud DT doesn't fall to 30. It would be sweet if Burden fell, but Golden, Harris, and Ayomanor all fit what we're missing.
Edit: Jets release Davante Adams. I'd take a swing if he's not looking for a massive payday.

Adams 1st choice is likely to follow Rodgers again I would think ? (who's left, NYG ?, and depending where Darnold lands). But if not I know they liked him in the past.
ps Lazard also given permission to seek a trade (11M cap), likely a release as well.

If he chooses to follow Rodgers again, after that disaster of a season, they truly have the strongest friendship of all time lol

CB is one of the positions that the Bills will be looking for a starter this offseason.
If CB is the best player available at a position of need at that point in time, I wouldn't hate it.

There are plenty of decent enough corners in FA, and McDermott has a long history of getting the best out of mediocre DBs. It's not something I'd want to spend a 1st on when they already have a very good CB1 in Benford and much more glaring needs elsewhere.

There are guys that can fill any number of the primary and secondary needs that they have at DT, DE, CB, S, WR, and RB in FA.
The question always is what do they get done between the start of FA and the draft.
If they don't get a quality starter at CB in FA, then I would be OK if CB is the pick in the 1st round, depending on who else is on the board.
But, there are way many variables for me to say I'm completely out on CB in the 1st. The same goes for safety and WR.
I would prefer that they get the best DL available in the 1st. But, the board & FA may not fall in a way where that makes sense.
Looking at the depth chart, the big areas of need are on defense.
You need:
DE across from Rousseau
CB across from Benford
A DT next to Ed Oliver
And a safety.
On offense, you probably need a boundry WR across from Keon.
Overall, that is adding 5 starters.
Now, I think safety is the easiest to fill via UFA. Lots to pick from that won't break the bank.
And its going to be a rotational one with Rapp/Bishop
DT is probably going to get filled via the draft...just given the relative depth and there should be 1 quality one available
I suppose if a top graded CB/S falls to us at 30, we could pick one up and pick best available DT at 56.
I think at CB it'll be a draft one/sign one strategy where our CB3 is a young player we can develop
At edge/WR....I think these will be the two splash moves. Maybe both via trade.

Josh Allen lands comprehensive deal with Skydance Sports
Football is going Hollywood.
www.nbcsports.com
Skydance sports did the Enigma documentary, NFL Hard Knocks last year....essentially....probably a Josh Allen Docu series coming our way in 2 years or so.
Of course, documenting the MVP to Super Bowl champ would make a GREAT STORY, hint hint, NFL Scriptwriters.

Given how last season went, I doubt they go with a splash move at WR unless it is a perfect culture fit like Cooper.
They have their slot receiver locked up long term. They have Keon on his rookie deal. They also have Samuel as WR4 and (hopefully) Hollins as WR5. There is definitely a need opposite Coleman. I also think with Allen being well established as the top offensive player on the team (and league MVP) the pecking order will be firmly in place for any WR coming in. I don't think they are going to go after any diva WRs

What do we think of Slayton ?
Does he fit ?, will he be expensive as Berry suggests ?
Not sounding likely Cooper will be back
^^Here's my WR take...I rec'd Hollins last year before Beane made the deal, Palmer is my guy right now as far as a 'dumpster dive' with some upside still.
