55. T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State (6-0, 194)​

Tampa gets a little sticky with his footwork at the top of routes, but he doesn’t lose much separation and plays with the size, range and ball skills to be disruptive. He has the tools and potential to be a starting perimeter cornerback in various schemes.

56. Dominick Puni, G, Kansas (6-5, 313)​

Puni will get himself in trouble bending at the waist or letting his pads rise, but he plays big, powerful and sends a harsh message with his hands while staying controlled through contact. He can play tackle, if needed, but projects best as an NFL starting guard or center.

58. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon (6-1, 176)​

Franklin’s polish and catch consistency must improve, but he can be a big-play weapon (before and after the catch), because of his linear twitch and gliding acceleration. He projects as a field-stretching Z receiver, similar to DJ Chark.

65. Adisa Isaac, Edge, Penn State (6-4, 247)​

Isaac needs to mature his approach to be more than a flash player, but with his length, energy and athletic tools, he can become an impactful edge presence for a defensive coordinator who continues to unlock his potential. Though he projects best standing up in a 3-4, he has something to offer any NFL scheme as a role player with starting upside (similar in ways to the Philadelphia Eagles’ Josh Sweat).

78. Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas (6-4, 253)​

Booker is lacking in body mass and overall experience (just 505 career college snaps), but he is an ascending player with the ability to maximize his athletic traits and body length/force with proper biomechanics. With his tools and instincts, he projects as a rotational player in Year 1 with the potential to become an impact starter.

88. Payton Wilson, LB, NC State (6-3, 233)​

Wilson’s medicals will be a key factor in his final grade, but he is a rangy and instinctive player who impacts the game in different ways, because of his effort and toughness. His four-down potential will separate him from most linebacker prospects.

90. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia (5-8, 191)​

Washington is undersized and needs to continue refining his route steps, but his explosive movements, rugged toughness and catchpoint skills will make him a factor in the slot for an NFL offense. He also has the skill set to immediately contribute in the return game.

92. Brandon Dorlus, DT, Oregon (6-3, 283)​

Dorlus needs to find better consistency on a snap-to-snap basis, but he has the natural power and agility to be a versatile disruptor in an NFL defensive line rotation. He projects best as a base end (in even or odd fronts) who can also reduce inside on subpackages.

93. Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina (6-1, 193)​

Walker is a vertical/stretch receiver who requires a linear route tree, but he is a big-play threat with a promising catch radius and the speed to climb on top of coverage. He must develop better consistency in his routes and hands to be more than a complementary outside option.

95. Mekhi Wingo, DT, LSU (6-0, 284)​

Wingo has a short-armed, squatty body type with an inconsistent anchor, but his first-step quickness and shock in his hands often gives him early advantages. He has NFL starting potential as a three-technique in a four-man front, projecting as a not-as-explosive version of Ed Oliver.

99. Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College (6-3, 314)​

Mahogany needs to play with more control, especially in space, to survive versus NFL defenders, but he plays like a bouncer outside of a club, looking to bash heads with power and forceful hands. He projects as a guard-versatile NFL starter, ideally suited for a downhill run team.

Sports' media is based almost entirely on horrible takes. For a while it was how the Bills couldn't beat the Chiefs. Then it was how McDermott can't win close games. Then we had the one how the Bills needed a running game to take the load off Josh Allen. Now, the narrative's going to be how the Bills need a number one wide-receiver.

Just give it a year. The wins will stack up because we still have Josh Allen running the offense, and McDermott managing the defense. And eventually, the narrative will die because there will be data to dispel it. After that, some loud mouth with a platform will come up with something else that's equally asinine, just to generate views, and we'll have to go through the same damn process all over again.

100 percent! I was more just saying, however, that it's oftentimes our own fanbase who pulls this crap. Without sounding like an elitist, the conversations/perspectives on this board compared with the average person who calls themselves Bills Mafia members and posts on Twitter or Reddit forums are on a different level. I am a self-loathing fan at this point haha.

That doesn't seem to jive with all the talk by Beane and McDermott about needing to be more explosive offensively.

Bills focus on guys with elite in game athleticism. Young and interesting.
My money is on Austin Booker here.

Seems to be a surprise given the names suggested. The ESPN draft results has a name but I imagine the broadcast hasn't named him yet
