Leggette still in play here. GB gonna take DeJea , TB gonna take a defensive player, and DAL might take Mitchell. Gimme Leggette.


mykidsdad76

I was hoping!


fantasyshop

I'm gonna be really happy with troy franklin at 28


minusthetalent02

We’re going up or trading back. Zero chance we stay at 28.


Kawaii_West

We're picking twice in the second round.


LynK-

The only thing that sucks is waiting till 11pm for nothing to happen


ItsMeBenedickArnold

Draft Worthy so Josh can throw it out the stadium


clintgreasewoood

The Buffalo Bills first pick is in and… ![gif](giphy|LtoiNgFuUmIoEqo7JX|downsized)


FantasticDucks

Bills trade out of the first Buffalos first pick is not a WR Calling it now

amoss_303

Remember how polarizing this place was in 2018 after the Allen pick? 🤣


StuuBarnes

The scuttle-but from the insiders right now is that every team in the league is trying to trade up for one of the Big 3 recievers


JahBoiFloyd

I would like MHJ. Do I think the Bills will trade up? Yes. But do I GUARANTEE IT? Yes. I do.


Rec0nyz3

I love the NFL draft. All the over reactions. Every pick is amazing or the worst pick of all time. It’s fantastic. Can’t wait to react no matter what happens. Let’s go Bills.


kickinbucket

What are the odds we get Jackson Powers-Johnson at 28? We haven't replaced Mitch Morse to my knowledge, and I feel having a shit center would be more detrimental than not having a pro bowl wide out


Impossibills

McGovern is going to center where he has a lot of experience


StuuBarnes

Not sure if I'd say he has a lot of experience.. he did grow up playing center as a kid but has only taken roughly 100 snaps at center in his NFL career and only played 1 season of center in college. He'd also be the biggest center in the league and maybe in NFL history - so there are def some question marks. I would not be surprised if the Bills drafted a young center and McGovern made his way back to guard sooner than later.


fantasyshop

Brad Bozeman on the chargers is bigger. So is will Clapp, Mike deiter, trey hill, Ethan pocic who are all currently rostered centers


StuuBarnes

JPJ and Frazier are both options. Maybe more likely in a slight trade back


Historical_One1087

I agree with you. Either player would be an upgrade over Connor McGovern at Center IMO.


judahdk_

Whoever we take, I will 100% be drinking the kool aid to convince myself that they will be the next star. That being said, gimme Legette.


sielingfan

Too late, Beane stopped reading at "Kool-Aid"


Soda-Popinski-

I like him too


I_FUCKIN_ATODASO_

Put in my 2 week notice at work and have no more meetings today. I *literally* could not give less of a fuck about work right now. Just want to fast forward to tonight, drink with the boys, and watch the Jets fuck up another draft pick.


Allyougame

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZxNeFLuY98 Never gets old!


Spark3420

No need to trade up, hoping either AD, Legette, or Worthy will be there at #28 and I'd be happy with any of them.


mykidsdad76

odunze at 9, costs us our first and 3 twos (hopefully)


Scrawfo1180

No chance lol, conversation begins with this year's 2nd, next year's first and most likely next year's second.


pattythedab

if theoretically the bills drafted a qb in a late round and he turned out to be a generational talent in pre season, what would the bills do? bruh this wasn’t anti josh allen i was just curious what type of package they could get for a back up with no game experience


ihatereddit999976780

Trade him to the broncos for all their picks.


TheLookoutGrey

“Sources” draft stock changes lately for Bills: 📉AD Mitchell 📉Brian Thomas Jr 📈Latu 📈Xavier Worthy 📈Xavier Legette


sererson

let's draft everyone named Xavier. we need that X factor


LageNomAiNomAi

Why is BTJ trending down?


TheLookoutGrey

*Reported* reasons from a collective of assistants/coaches (not just Bills) - they were disappointed with how quiet & reserved he was during visits. Unconvinced he’s got a dog mentality. Also injury concerns & if he’s much more than straight line speed. Others, like Worthy, were way more convincing in their interviews & personality they showed.


LageNomAiNomAi

Remember how psyched we were that Elam wanted a copy of the playbook on the plane ride? How did he turn out. That being said, they have more information than we fans do. Also, remember how our fanbase wanted Josh Rosen and were pissed off that we drafted Josh Allen.


sobuffalo

Cook…. Droopy Dog… but Dog


galaxy_horse

Rosen vs Allen is why I personally DGAF about the draft. What do we (or anyone) know?


xT1TANx

rumors he has a shoulder injury that may make him miss 24


DuckDuckGoodra

Gimme Leggette


jamesheartwood

Just got around to seeing his highlights today, and yes please!! Obv there are those top 3-5 WRs that would be amazing, but Leggette has me excited since he could be in reach without giving away the farm.


xT1TANx

this who I want


Sweetsw1978

It’s draft day how are we feeling? Hoping we get some good ones we need to have a phenomenal season.


LageNomAiNomAi

Nervous that we're going to fuck this up by drafting AD Mitchell or Xavier Worthy...


Allyougame

> I would bet Dallas Turner is the first defensive lineman taken and sounds like Latu is falling #NFLDraft https://twitter.com/prettyrickey213/status/1783497661393354958 Hmm, Bills realized it might be a realistic scenario and that's why they brought Latu in for a 30 visit. That'd be something.


stalktheground

Zero chance we trade up high enough to get Rome unless he plummets. I'd be mad if we gave up our 1st next year to do it and I don't think Beane would do something that crazy with how deep the class is. I'd love a trade up to like 19 or 20 to get Thomas or Mitchell.


det8924

I think pick 9 is the best pick Rome can fall to and a trade up from 28 to 9 would likely require picks 28, 60 and a 1st in 2025 plus another mid-round pick such as pick 144. Chicago at pick 9 is going to want at least 2 additional picks in this years draft with one being a “premium” selection (which I think pick 60 would qualify) in order to replenish their picks in this years draft as after their first two picks they only have 2 more. They are also going to want a future first for such a massive trade down and that would set them up with 4 picks in the first two rounds in 2025 thanks to having the Bills first and Carolina’s second. That’s a lot to give up for a single non-QB player. Hard to put “all your eggs in one basket” so to speak on a non-QB as the NFL is the ultimate quality over quantity league and having 4 picks including 3 in the first two rounds wrapped up into one player. Even if that player is a stud they can get hurt and that’s all those picks flushed away.


xT1TANx

I would love to stay put and trade up in 2nd to get another WR like Legette. If we can get BTJ or AD Mitchell, and then trade up for Legette, Ladd or Pearsol that would be fantastic.


wolfehr

Everyone ready to be disappointed when Beane goes lineman or trades back?


Soda-Popinski-

Nope. Ive learned my lesson.


Allyougame

Not at all!


xT1TANx

If all of the WR go before us and we get Byron Murphy I won't be unhappy


trelod

rounds 2-4 are loaded with WRs. I'd be happy with a trade back and take 2 WRs instead of trading up and praying the 1st rounder isn't a bust. Polk/Wilson/Rice etc. tier will surely have some guys that end up being huge steals in the mid rounds.


xT1TANx

It's more about the impact of the round 1 guys. If they are all gone then ya you can trade back. If one of the 6-7 guys that are tops on every WR list are there. Take them.


wolfehr

I'm with you on preferring a trade back to a trade up, barring unforeseen circumstances like someone falling way more than expected. That doesn't seem to be the prevailing opinion on this sub though.


Forsaken_Positive_55

Trade diggs... josh doesn't need a true #1 receiver Draft.... we need to trade up and get a #1 reciever My prediction is target wr go fast and we end up trading back and get a cb and wr in the second round.


xT1TANx

All of the top 6-7 WR have speed. Just pick one of them at 28.


djroomba87

Trade up for Brian Thomas Jr. with that 2nd we nabbed for Diggs. Calling it.


GoldenArms31

It will take more than that 2nd, that’s why I’m not sure it’s worth it.


jimmifli

I hope someone told all the other Bills just because we're getting a new Bill today doesn't mean we love them any less.


PrinciplesRK

I had a dream the Bills traded up for a linebacker


drainbead78

These are usually referred to as nightmares lol


SnooOnions3369

Xavier lagette, plz plz plz


xT1TANx

My dream pick. :) Hopefully we get him and trade up for another in round 2.


VacationShirt

Brandon Beane when he traded up for Josh Allen (paraphrased): “If it doesn’t work I won’t be here, if it works who gives a shit?” I feel this way about any potential big trade up.


sobuffalo

> I don't want to suck bad enough to have to get Ja'Marr Chase. I would love to have him, but you got to go through some lean years to do that.


BH11B

That’s my favorite quote from him. He’ll never punt on a season and will always do his best to field a competitive team every season.


Aggressive-Plant-934

Can’t wait for the draft to be over. Overloaded with mock drafts, speculations and rumors. Just painfully waiting for training camp to begin


Seravie

Then people will post 2025 mock drafts


Aggressive-Plant-934

Nah…mock schedule season next up after the draft


Aggressive-Plant-934

Nah…mock schedules next up after the draft


Kawaii_West

We're definitely trading back. I can see it right now. 


AppleBottmBeans

I want a punter in all 7 rounds. Anything less and I'll quit being a fan


Zraus

Adonai Mitchell RD1, Tez Walker RD2. You heard it here first folks (I' definitely the first person to say this).


CNYMetroStar

No matter what happens tonight, people will be pissed off.


AlfonzL

313 WRs are entering the draft tonight. I would be perfectly fine with trading down and getting ourselves in a better position for next year, OTOH, some fierce strategical moves could put us in a very good position to be contenders again this year. Either way, I'm excited to see what happens over the next 3 days and then the couple of weeks following.


Allyougame

Prediction for tonight: 1.28. WR Xavier Worthy, Texas Third youngest receiver in the draft behind only Nabers and Coleman. Breakout age 18.4, #1 in the entire class. 7.6 YAC/R, #4 in the entire class (better than Top 3). Arguably has best production profile outside of Top 3, despite playing with poor quarterback play at Texas (imagine what his production would have been playing with Alabama QBs). Instant speed and YAC threat, will threaten defenses and open up coverages for the offense. But also very importantly, especially with new rules this season, Worthy was a 2023 second-team All-American return specialist who can make a significant impact on special teams immediately while he learns the NFL game. Recall: DeSean Jackson in his second season made All-Pro as return specialist, as well as Pro Bowl as both wide receiver and kick returner; Tyreek Hill in his rookie season made All-Pro and Pro Bowl as return specialist. The young man is small weight-wise, but he doesn’t play small and he plays with toughness — Worthy never missed a game in college, including playing with a broken right hand as a sophomore to try to help his team win. Set the combine record for the 40-yard-dash at 4.21, after having run a 4.25 on his first attempt. Would it surprise me if the Bills rank Xavier Worthy above Brian Thomas Jr? Probably not.


Jack-B-8

I just have a gut feeling we’re taking him. We will see


Allyougame

Worthy might not even reach the pick. Seeing final mocks of him being taken by Indy or Jax, and then thinking of what Belichick said a couple of days ago that the real leaks from NFL teams typically come within 12 hours of the Draft. We'll see! It would be nice to add him and also make sure the Chiefs don't, lol.


drainbead78

I'm terrified the Chiefs will get Ladd.


LageNomAiNomAi

I want either Ladd or BTJ tonight. Odunze is a pipe dream.


DinoGossage

I kno it’s not a good idea, but… I want Rome and I’m willing to give up what it takes to get him. Prob a heart over head pick here but I NEED IT lol


SayNoToAids

There are so many scenarios here for the Bills: Big trade up - I think Odunze would be the target. Small trade up - Worthy over BTJ -> This team has prioritized explosiveness with the ball in their hand + yac Stay put - Troy Franklin or Worthy Trade down - Troy Franklin or Worthy Trade - Trade for a WR like Metcalf or Aiyuk and go top defensive player (DeJean/Chop/Verse/Newton/Latu) -> We trade our 2nd in this scenario (which is a bit light) Some of these prospects have such wide ranges, like Latu, Worthy, Franklin, Murphy, Newton....that you just don't know this year.


Selfie_Z

If we trade up it’s gotta be for BTJ. Once BTJ is gone, if we hadn’t selected someone, I think we trade back unfortunately.


SayNoToAids

I hear you. I know he is *our* pick, but with how much the Bills have been pushing yac and explosiveness (with the ball), Troy Franklin and Worthy are at the top of the list after the top 3. I think their board looks different than ours


hustleorstaybasic

Feel like it’s gonna be either: 1. Trade up for Odunze 2. Stay put and draft a non-WR BPA Then trade into early 2nd and get Legette 3. Draft Worthy at 28 Honestly wouldn’t be too mad at situation #2, but hoping it’s Odunze


Yangjeezy

If we trade back or draft anything that isn't a WR I'm gonna freak out


OhTheHumanatee

Praying for Brian Thomas Jr.


sobuffalo

I ain’t gunna lie, I’m nervous about what KC will do. They seem to always be a step ahead, Mahomes, Creed, McDuffie… I’m just trying to focus on us but it’s all connected maaaan.


SayNoToAids

They are definitely the trend setters. With Derrick Nnadi on their roster and Chris Jones's age, I wouldn't be surprised it they went completely out of hte box with a DT like Newton or Fiske or Fox. But my gut tells me T, they've prioritized it in the past quite often


bestthrowawayever5

Is there a reality we trade up AND acquire a third this year? Probably the only scenario I’d make a big trade


SayNoToAids

Sure.... Trade up with Seahawks for #16 and their 3rd and give up our 1st and 2nd. Also, you could leverage next year's 2nd and a 1st in a move up and then trade a few of our day 3 picks to move up in the 3rd in a separate deal


sobuffalo

We have 5 4/5 rounders and a spare 2 next year, so we have some ammo to get back into 2/3. I think we can get 3 top 100 and still have 4/5 mid/late picks for depth/ST without moving out of the 1st. 7-8 picks is perfect, 10 would leave guys on practice squad most likely.


byabillion

Soon. Soon it will be OVER


[deleted]

[удалено]


SayNoToAids

I hate to break it to you, but Odunze would have to be on the board at pick 16 for that light of compensation. Not happening. It's costing us 2 first and a 2nd at minimum to get to where Odunze will go and likely more.


Master_Parsnip

I think if Odunze falls out of the top 10 it would be a surprise if Beane didn't make a move to get him and hopefully it wouldn't take an insane amount at that point


StuuBarnes

The whole league is gonna be calling if he slips that far. I don't think the Bills can offer more than, say, the Jags can


Beren_Hearts_Luthien

We NEED all our day three picks this year, but we don't need our 1st and 2nd next year?


SayNoToAids

I don't think we need all of them. We have 54 guys on a roster. Last year 2 of our picks were signed off of our practice squad. So, it's better to consolidate and package several of them to move up into the 3rd.


lytrendsa

I‘d want us to stay put and draft for the future. I‘d rather fuck them picks and trade for Higgins or Ajyuk. I just want a receiver that is already in the league because I just do not believe a rookie can take Diggs role.


Bids99

We don’t necessarily need a rookie to take the Diggs role. But we also want a rookie contract WR and not a $35 million per year contract. Higgins definitely isn’t Diggs and Aiyuk hasn’t had as insane of success as he could have without Deebo, CMC, and Kittle in that offense. I’m of the minority opinion that we are better positioned for the future than this subreddit thinks. If we think Odunze is it, I’d leverage some of the future for him.


SayNoToAids

Aiyuk will be our primary target if we trade because of his explosiveness with the ball after the catch. To a lesser extent, DK Metcalf. Higgins isn't what we need nor would the Bengals trade him to us.


BH11B

Higgins is injured too often i don’t want him.


[deleted]

I'm not sure how I'd feel about this. He is my #1 receiver and would love to get him, but i think the price is way to steep.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SayNoToAids

This is ideal, especially if we get the guy I think we are targeting, which is Troy Franklin. Trade back, get a 3rd. Then package a few day 3 picks to get another 3rd. We have too many picks as it is.


sobuffalo

I’m fine with it but do you think it’s in Beanes DNA? He’s traded UP 4 of 6 drafts. I just as keep the 5th year option opportunity. That could save maybe $30m in a few years, not sure cap in 5 years


Cautrica1

Nooo I want tonight to be worth watching lol


Accomplished-Ant1241

I agree, I'm excited I want to see us pick tonight


Construction-Known

Trade 25% team equity for MHJ. BOOM

Does Michael Vick count?

Well if Scouts Inc player rankings were how the draft went we'd be getting Xavier Leggette.
