All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Re: BuffaloBlitz83's 7 Round Bills Mock. Grade it folks!
Some more specific critique...
I see DE as a huge need for Buffalo. I think Bailey will be gone by 75, and if you wait until the fourth round, I don't think you'll find a 5T which is an upgrade over your current roster.
Based on the feedback I got in the Team Needs thread, OT is a pretty pressing need for you guys. If you wait until the 6th to pick a guy, I don't think you'll find someone nearly as good or versatile as Brewer. You might not even get a guy like Jah Reid. (Yes, I know DB likes Reid better than Brewer, but he's in the minority and people are entitled to their own opinions.)
I think there are better wideouts to be had than Gates. He's very fast, but what else? Jerrell Jernigan and Vincent Brown have both been able to make terrific competition look very bad. Gates hasn't even played against that level of competition.
Peterson, I think everyone can agree, is a terrific player, but to modify an argument someone made on here against Miller... who's he going to cover on 3rd and 1? Buff needs to fix the front 7.
Those are the major things for me. I don't necessarily agree on some of the other players you picked, but that's more a preference thing than a strategy thing, so no complaints.

Not too bad, but why would the Bills take a db at 3, and then turn around and grab a safety at 7? We are pretty well stocked at both positions. The rest looks pretty balanced though. Overall grade if I had to give it one would be a C. Taking a defensive back at 3 would be a reach no matter how talented that player may be. If your defensive back is the face of your franchise when you cant stop the run, you have problems. That's the kind of thing that gets a HC and GM fired. JMO
