Nobody is a lock to pick anybody outside of the first few picks, but I do agree that he's the guy that the Bills will like.

Buffalo like drafting guys they view as "tough" and physical.

It's a McDermott thing so it comes down to how Adonai presents himself in the interviews.

Bryan Thomas Jr would be so awesome here but he’s going to 20. We’d have to give up so much to get him. Just not happening

Tyreek was a complete outlier. Most of those small fast guys don’t pan out as anything more than either gadget guys or limited role-players of little impact.

I really hope we don’t get yet another smallish burner with limited WR skills. Just saying.

I think Worthy will be a better WR than Hardman but he doesn't have the overall skillset for a small player to merit a 1st round selection.

Elite speed needs to be paired with another + NFL trait and he doesn't have one that will be functional or useful.

I honestly haven’t seen him play, so I don’t really have an opinion about him. I’ve heard that he’s just 5’9”, and that he’s 6 feet. I’ve heard that he is a great route runner and that he isn’t.

I’ll let you guys figure that shit out. I’m just saying that I’d rather he have some skill besides running really fast. So in that we agree.

It's not just at CP there is huge disagreement.

The Twitter analytics guys love him (unless he gets drafted later!) They love guys that were hyped early and are focal in college.

The KC Sports Network guys love him. They think his route running is great, I have no idea what they are looking at.

Mel Kiper Jr has him high in his mocks.

Then NFL.com has him as a 2nd rounder (as do I)

Former NFL GM Spielman also likes Mitchell better on his draft podcast.

We shall see.

I personally think Worthy should be a 2nd rounder. I do think he goes in the 2nd, that's my prediction.

But if the Chiefs want him at 32, great.

I think Mitchell should be a 2nd rounder too though, so....

Mel Kiper is an idiot about 50% of the time.

I’d have more faith in Spielman

Brett Kollman seems to think the Bills would like Xavier Legette, which would make sense.

Hmmm

Doesn't seem to make sense from a football perspective as they have Kincaid and Shakir and Samuel who all excel from the slot.

Sure McConk can line up outside but still...

The worry I have is that Mcdermott, McConkey...

McDermott might just be biased because of his name.

What do you all think about Ryan Flournoy on Day 3? He's got a great RAS score. Coming from a small school, you'd have to think that he hasn't been coached up to his potential yet.

Johnny Wilson is a mid-round guy who intrigues me. I have daydreams about a big fast guy with a big catch radius running deep under a Mahomes pass.

Who's your guy at WR for each of the first 4 rounds?

1st Xavier Worthy
2nd Ricky Pearsall
3rd Javon Baker
4th Luke McCaffrey

Mitchell
Walker
Baker
McCaffrey is probably fine here. I don't see a better probable 4th rounder.
