They have a glaring need at cornerback and the top cover men will be long gone by the time they are on the clock if they stay put at No. 54. They need to get into the range of picks 35-40 in order to secure a Day One starter at that position, and many around the league expect them to make that happen.
I watched nearly every snap Jackson played and I've been watching Iowa football pretty much every game since Ferentz arrived. Jackson is a playmaker but the concerns about him being able to play press man are founded. The simple fact is that as Boss said, he only started for 1 year and Iowa asks it's CBs to play off the ball and react, keeping the ball in front of them at all times. It's entirely possible he has the physical ability to play in the Chiefs scheme but the people that are concerned about whether or not he can aren't wrong. We simply don't know how well he can press because he wasn't really ever asked to do it. [Reply]

They took almost exactly what I said I thought it would take to move down.
I wonder if Veach offered 54, 122 and next years 2.
i thought the same thing last night, you nailed that one. cept it wasnt us.
i like the depth remaining personally. we can move up to the 35-40 range for a 4th at the discount rate these trades are happening and keep both 3rds. unless youre the aints. man they got jobbed by gb. [Reply]
i think i'd take josh jackson if he's sitting there @54 but i wont move up for him.
after sleepin on it, i think i'd move up for oliver, reid, or maybe carlton davis, but nobody else in the secondary. lorenzo carter is really starting to interest me however.
1 stud edge rusher, with a CB and a S prospect and our defense will be significantly improved!! OG, DE, WR later and i'm pretty happy. [Reply]

They're buttfucking morons half of the time.
Lol! from NFL.com:
Losers
Buffalo Bills: The Bills traded out of their No. 10 overall pick a year ago, passing on the chance to draft Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson in favor of amassing draft capital. This season, the Bills used significant draft capital to trade up for quarterback Josh Allen (moving from 12th overall to seventh). The kids would call that hustling backward, especially when Allen has an uphill climb just to surpass previous Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor's level of production.
Bills fans will point to this being the first draft for GM Brandon Beane, who was hired last May, but that only emphasizes how tricky it is to come up with a cohesive roster when the GM and coach are always in flux. Allen could prove his skeptics wrong, and his athleticism is unquestionable, but Josh Rosen has clearly displayed a more obvious NFL skill set. Allen is reminiscent of a souped-up version of another Bills first-round quarterback: J.P. Losman, a player with accuracy issues who was a star in the pre-draft season because of his measurables. Losman was taken 22nd overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and proceeded to compile a 10-23 record in Buffalo.
Give Beane some credit for his conviction in Allen and talented all-around linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (taken by the Bills at No. 16 overall), who should be a tackle machine in coach Sean McDermott's system. I hope I'm wrong about Allen, because a happy Bills fanbase makes for a better NFL. [Reply]

As usual, it takes Iowa football to drag you out of hiding. :-)
The Bills are far from a complete roster and completely grenade'd its Day 2 to move up for a QB they didn't have to move up for, who will probably suck and 1 LB.
They still have a lot of holes and don't pick again until the end of today. [Reply]

The fans aren’t happy. Neither are the radio hosts [Reply]
