Listened to @Roto_Frank @CBSScottWhite and @CPTowers this morning. Sounds like they could have used my historical stats on Las Vegas ballpark. https://t.co/fpDJzH44Cq

If this actually happened, this would be one hell of a movie

That's the hope for the next two days. I'm sure, like every other year, Beane will kill some of that hope. For the @BuffaloBills sake, I hope he is right and I am wrong.

Inspired by Day 1 trade backs, I took this @PFSN365 #NFLdraft mock for @BuffaloBills and looked to use those day 3 picks, to improve and increase by Day 2 picks. These are the deals I made and then these are the picks:

In the 7th, making special teams better was key. Reid is tiny (5-6, 174) but is a dangerous returner and caught 75 passes at Pitt. Thorson brings good accuracy (23 of 46 punts inside 20 in ‘25). Don’t forget a 3rd for 2027!

And for the final round, another big WR, playmaking safety and Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia. The almost 5-10 Heisman runner-up is not Doug Flutie. He doesn't have Flutie's strong arm. But he is magical and his teammates love him. Think he will be a preseason game darling.

And for the last of my @BuffaloBills 2026 mock #NFLDraft comes one using @PFSN365 own rankings. For this, I took team trade back to a new level with no picks in 1st or 2nd rounds. I tried to cover each position of need with extra bodies. I also got potentially the best backup QB.

[John Allen @AllenReports]

Waiting until the 6th round for a WR in @BuffaloBills mock #NFLdraft is likely too late. But if the focus is size and speed, Caldwell 6-5+, 216-pound Jeff Caldwell with 4.31 speed and 42" vertical has it.
