I was mad because they wouldn't let me trade back from 33 to 36 with Washington no matter how hard I tried.PFN’s mock simulator is up.

I am early to bed and early to rise person.
As a card carrying member of #TeamTradeBack, I am happy this morning.
And for everyone freaking out on Worthy to KC, if Beane wasn’t high on the guy, why worry about it?
Brugler, Joe Marino, Bruce Nolan, and others weren’t high on Worthy, either.
Agreed. I think it's likely.I see a potential move up from 60 and/or the KC 3rd using some of our low day 3 picks
I would not be surprised if BUF makes a ton of trades and - with even more picks in hand - ends up drafting 6 players totalSUMMARY:
Bills trade: 28, 133, 200, 248
Bills get: 33, 95, 141, 221
Tidy haul. Losing the 5th year option hurts a bit, but.....
5 spot drop from bottom 1 to literally top 2.......giant move from 4 to 3, giant move from 6 to 5 and a mild move up in 7.
So what we're left with:
Round 2: #33, 60
Round 3: #95
Round 4: #128
Round 5: 141, 144, 160, 163
Round 6: 204
Round 7: 221
My predictions:In my opinion the true value of these moves is yet to come. In addition to most likely still getting the player we wanted at #28 at #33 (or beyond if we continue to deal) we also significantly upgraded our remaining tradebait picks for added ammo for more trades. Beane is nowhere near done, we can’t actually use all these picks but we can certainly make more deals to maximize them.
Not local so I dont know the meltdown benchmark isI didn’t know that I enjoyed Jeremy White meltdowns so much. Never really got over the tank stupidity, I suppose.
I'm aware we won both trades. I'm saying that the profits seemed kinda small.We won both on here
70 pts between 1sts. About 80 between 3rd and 5th. Buffalo gained 10 pts and got a better 7th
Carolina pick ffg difference is 10 pts. Pick flip gain 20 pts
We had 10 draft picks before the trades. We have 10 draft picks after the trades. We gained 0 draft picks.I think the mock draft fever gets people over hyped at certain prospects.
The draft is about good scouting and operating in volume.
Trust your scouts
We are going to get the same guy we wanted at 28 and got two more picks
We had 10 draft picks before the trades. We have 10 draft picks after the trades. We gained 0 draft picks.
I’d almost be upset if they don’t trade down.Agreed. I think it's likely.

My predictions:
1. Trade back from #33. Too many teams will be calling. The challenge will be to do a 3-way with one of NE, ARI, WAS, so the calling team gets #33, BUF drops a couple spots and one of NE, ARI, WAS gets the calling team's 2nd, plus sweeteners. I can't see the Bills dropping lower than #36.
2. There will be no trade for a Tee Higgins or Brandon Aiyuk, etc. Bills can't afford the contract / cap, and even with a high likelihood of a re-sign in BUF to play with Allen, why take the chance when you could own a rookie deal for 4 years at a fraction of the cost?
3. I could see Beane being done by pick ~150 with 6 guys drafted, all through trade backs and move ups.
4. Ace will not follow-through on his promise to stop following the Bills.
I was responding to Doak saying we "got two more picks". As in going from 10 picks to 12. Which did not happen.We didn't need more picks -- there are only so many roster spots. What we got was better day 3 picks, so the guys we pick there have a better chance of being on that roster (rather than the practice squad or poached by another team). Or maybe we use some of those picks to draft up with our later 2nd.

Could be. If so, I’m also fine with it.He did make a good point though - if the Bills were targeting a WR I doubt that they trade down with two different teams targeting a WR, and then trading down behind a third team that also took a WR.
It seems much more likely now that they grab a guy like Dejean or perhaps one of the IOL prospects.
I'm not going to lie, he was the WR that I was really intrigued by because of that 40 time and because he did get 100+ targets in three seasons at Texas.But but but.....he us fast
I wonder if they move back 3 or 4 spots and figure that their guy will still be there.I would only trade down here if the value blows me out of the park. Another 5th wouldn’t move the needle for me
As long as Cousin's contract is easy to get out of towards the backend of it, I think what they did was smart and good long term planning.Agent: Cousins confused by Falcons' Penix pick
The Falcons selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 pick in the NFL draft, a decision that caught Kirk Cousins off-guard, according to his agent.www.espn.com
At least we aren't Falcons fans.
Either that - or they have a guy higher on their board than they suspect other teams do.He did make a good point though - if the Bills were targeting a WR I doubt that they trade down with two different teams targeting a WR, and then trading down behind a third team that also took a WR.

Given that Wilson is very slot heavy i don't think he'd be a fit though.My initial thought process was that a trade back made the most sense, then I got hypnotized by the hype train. But there are still about 10 or 11 WRs available that are really good players. If they can move around the board and get three good players, I’ll be happy. There are two guys that are being slept on hard, and that’s Roman’s Wilson and Jermaine Burton. If you can get either of those guys in the late 2nd, it’s a home run.
