2018 NFL Draft Preview: Bills Mock Draft Compilation

By Steve

The draft is tomorrow, lets see what the "experts" are predicting and laugh. Here is our podcast preview, Bills needs, and QB rankings to read first

The Ringer
Josh Rosen (move to 6th)
"The Bills don’t waste any time moving up to take advantage of Rosen’s mini-slide, giving up the 12th and 22nd picks to land their quarterback of the future"
My grade A-

Walter Football
Sam Darnold (trade up to 4)
"The Bills, meanwhile, have to trade up. They don't have a viable starting quarterback, and they've already moved up once. They plan on following the Eagles' blueprint with a double trade."
My grade incomplete.. giving up 3 firsts would be C-, goving up 2 firsts and a 2nd B-

WGR550
Josh Rosen (trade up to 7)
Bills give up 12, 53, and 121
"This is a really good scenario for the Bills. Three quarterbacks are taken ahead of Rosen, considered by most to be the best pure passer in this draft. And with him falling all the way to No. 7, general manager Brandon Beane doesn’t have to give up nearly as much as he would have to get into the top-five"
My grade A.
Seems unlikely

TBN
Josh Rosen (trade to 8 giving up 12 a 2md round pick and 2019 4th)
Dumb site is tough to navigate on my phone so no quotes.
My grade A+

PFF
Roquan Smith LB
Uhh this doesnt have Allen in the first round and Jacksom going at 16. They do have the Bills going Rudolph at 22.
My Grade B+

Pete Prisco
Sam Darnold (move to 4th)
They should make this move up to land their quarterback. Give up their two first-round picks and a second and fourth next year to land Darnold.

MMQB
Josh Allen
"
While we’re hung up on finding a landing spot for all the quarterbacks, I’d remind you of four things at this pick: A) I don’t know if Buffalo loves Allen; B) but I hear they love his ability to throw it through the lake effect winds and snow; C) Allen is a garrulous, genial version of Jim Kelly, a rifle-armed work in progress the fans in western New York will love; and D) I think this trade fits both teams because I’m not sure the Colts would demand both Bills’ first-round picks in return. In fact, because of the strength of the second round, I could see Colts GM Chris Ballard valuing the 53rd and 56th picks collectively higher than the 22nd pick in this draft. So, 12, 53, 56 and, say, 96 for six? Could be equitable. It would leave the Bills with their second of two first-rounders."
My grade C
Flawed logic and expensive

Then at 22 they take a guard James Daniels
"Need pick. Smart of the Bills to insist in their dealings and offers to various teams that they’d have to keep this pick to buttress a part of their team buffeted by a wild offseason. Gone: center Eric Wood and guard Richie Incognito (retired) and tackle Cordy Glenn (traded). If you’d told anyone in the Bills front office that they’d exit day one of the draft with a quarterback of the future and the second-best interior lineman in the draft with lots of experience playing pro-style football, they’d have been very happy."
My grade F
