The Family’s Annual Bills Mock Draft — 2024 Version

Re: The Family’s Annual Bills Mock Draft — 2024 Version

How old is he now?

21?

22?

What happens when a 366 lb man reaches 30?

Even though he carries the weight well, it is a legitimate risk. He went to UT as a 249 lb DE and is now a 360 plus DT.

IF he can stay at the current weight or drop a few pounds he has a chance to be very good/great in the NFL.

He could also Mike Williams his way out of the league.

As a second round pick in an area of need I’d take that chance every single time (as opposed to the number four overall buffoonery when Mckinneie was available with Mike Williams).

Oh oh OH! Let me guess… you hit on him at a pub?

You might have the behind to take on a man of his size butt I do not.

Don’t forget William (Refrigerator) Perry was a pretty successful big man!

You’re right why would a team want a very large athletic man to plug up the middle, that would be silly!

Perry was terrific as was Pat Williams but with these big guys there’s always a real risk that they eat themselves into oblivion.

We always say things like “all we’ll need is for him to drop 35 pounds and get on the NFL diet and strength program”.

The problem is that doesn’t always work and the guy gains weight instead of losing it.

I’d still take the risk but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist and is substantial.

He gets traded to the Bears?

I would love a huge 1DT next to Ed Oliver.

However, when a college player gains so much weight and now weighs 366 lbs, you can’t say there is not a legitimate risk in drafting him.

Big risk. Fat men are a different type of athlete and have to be managed differently by the trainers than anyone else on a football team.

While the team may want to see the fat guys stay fat and strong up top, the trainers want to keep them jogging every day to keep their endurance where it needs to be. Nothing worse that seeing Ted Washington panting on the sideline at the end of the first quarter.

Tough to get a read on what the Bills are thinking after trading Diggs.

Spiked, are you going to re-do your draft? Only 1 day left!

Sure is, could be a fun draft if they don’t use all their draft capitol moving up!
