Bills 3rd via CIN (92) for Arizona 3rd (96), 4th (105), and 2024 5th Rounder

If Beane ends up with 13 picks and Campbell in this draft I will wear a Tremaine Edmunds avatar for a month.

If Beane doesn’t do some trading down to get us more picks then I’ll just do what I usually do.

I know your username and all—but half of those draft trades make zero sense.

It’s what the simulator proposed to me. I don’t disagree that they made zero sense.

Sadly there were much worse offers that were even more lopsided.

Re: Draft Network Simulator. Fun!

Have a strong feeling this draft will vex me and I'll take the summer off from the Bills for the first time in my life because they mismanaged their golden window.

I've been wrong before....hope I am again....just feels obvious and clear to me. I think Beane provided the players McDermott was incapable of using when he could have or should have. Just my thoughts.

Re: Draft Network Simulator. Fun!

Maintaining my steadfast belief that 2 of the first 3 picks should be OL. In the end, we've lost one starter on D. This is the year to improve the OL. Just do it. Find your D players later. They are out there.

After 2 small trade downs...

33. Anton Harrison, OT Oklahoma Darnell Wright was gone, I wouldn't have traded down otherwise. Harrison is a nice consolation prize. And no, he's not Cody Ford. One of the faster OT's in the draft, has good feet and knows how to use them. He knew he had to get stronger after last year, so he put extra time in the weight room in the offseason. It paid off. gave up 4 sacks in the past three years.

59. John Michael Schmitz C Minnesota. I probably would have taken Campbell here and hoped for Tippman in the third, but he was gone. So I nabbed one of the best pass protecting IOL in the draft. Im not complaining. The OL just got better.

91. Jonathan Mingo WR Ole Miss 6' 2" 225 lbs. One of the few bigger WR's with talent in this draft. Good hands, big enough to break tackles, fast enough to get some YAC after he does. 4.46 40 at the combine, fast enough to get by an unsuspecting DB, and big enough with strong hands to make the contested catch. A better route runne rthan is given credit, and supposedly killing it in the interviews.

116. Zach Harrison DE OSU the trade down gave me the ability to take a gamble with the latest athletic freak. Nice smile. He's shown flashes and just needs someone to show him how to put it together.

122. Dorian Williams LB Tulane Fast, can cover a lot of ground, good in pass pro and hits like a MOFO. Shedding blocks might be a problem at 225 lbs...but then again, our 250 lb. MLB wasn't much at shedding them either. We haven't lost nearly as many think.

130. Cory Trice CB Purdue big at 6'3", fast enough. Excels in press coverage. Eventual successor at safety, but if not, at big nickel. Over his past 2 years, his opposing passer rating when targeted was70 in2021 and 51.3 in 2022.

137. Nathaniel Dell WR Houston might not be there at 137, but then again, maybe he will. Ill take his separation ability any day. He was littering the practice field in the Senior Bowl practices with the jocks of opposing Dbs. We can find a way to make him work.

235. Karl Brooks. DT Bowling Green Yeah, he's not going to be there...but he was,so I did. His first step and production earned him a higher draft round than here.

Re: Draft Network Simulator. Fun!

Beane really needs to come out of this draft with more than six players. Some of the suggested trades in these sims can be really ridiculous, but there were two that seemed realistic that I hopped on to pick up a couple of extra picks (**) that resulted in a beast WR and second interior lineman. I missed out on DL Brooks in the 4th, taking Schoonmaker and gambling the DL would be there 6 picks later at 137, but love Fehoko in the sixth. This might be my favorite mock to date, and a keeper.

34---Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa (gave up R1/27 for R2/34 and R3/66)
59---Joe Tippman, C, Wisconsin
66---Nathaniel Dell, WR, Houston **
91---Jordan Battle, S, Alabama
131---Luke Schoonmaker, TE Michigan (gave up R4/130 for R4/131 and R5/163)
137---Jalen Redmond, DL, Oklahoma
163---Ricky Stromberg, C/G, Arkansas**
205---Viliami Fehoko, Edge, San Jose State

Re: Draft Network Simulator. Fun!

Two trades down to get two extra picks. Defense and O-line are set for the near future, a speedy slot late along with a raw OLB with legit speed. I mostly ignored the official visit list and went with my own opinion.

31. Bryan Bresee - DT, Clemson

59. Drew Sanders - LB, Ark.

91. Matthew Bergeron - OT, Syr.

95. Jammie Robinson - S, FSU

130. Ricky Stromberg - C/G, Ark.

137. Andrew Vorhees - G, USC

205. Jalen Moreno-Cropper - WR, Fresno St.

257. Yasir Abdullah LB, - Louisville
