    That makes sense.  I agree with you, my post was likely confusing in return.  

     

    I've been a big fan of Hodgins, and Speedy, both having solid camps (hoping Hodgins stays healthy and Speedy recovers soon).

     

    Definitely some difficult decisions.  I'm already liking the Cook at KR and Shakir at PR idea, if that holds up to start the season.  Gives more flexibility with gameday roster, essentially 1 more player, if we don't have to dress a dedicated returner.

    I could argue the flip side too if Austin is not the primary returner (as you mention) then he is the cut and Crowder stays. The coaching staff might like this better as they get a proven guy in the slot. In any scenario I think they WANT Hodgins to make it. They developed the kid and he knows the system.

    with this offense slot skill set works everywhere imo

    That’s true but they all can play any position. If Hodgins makes it, for example, would not surprise me to see him in the slot at times.

  3. We have 4 guys in the slot: McKenzie, Shakir, Austin, and Crowder. Don’t need that many. IF Austin becomes the primary returner he’s safe. McKenzie and Shakir aren’t going anywhere. That leaves Crowder as the odd man out.

  4. They're not great for trying to figure exactly who will pick who once you get past the early picks.  However, I think they have value for seeing where players fall in relation to one another.  On a similar note, Every year I print out a copy of the big board rankings with 300 (or whatever it is) players and, broadly speaking, the players tend to get selected in that pattern by rounds.  I might track the first three rounds or so before I give up and concentrate on 🍺

    It’s just terrible how McDermott drives people away!

    I think the Bills need a little bit of love.  Last year due to circumstances that won't be mentioned, I think the team lost some chemistry.  They finally regrouped at the end of the year, but the damage was done in the loss column.  Glad to see new guys fired up to be on the team with one mission ahead.  This D-line could be outstanding, especially if another DE besides Miller steps up with a pass rush.

    Breece Hall has been this ^ player at Iowa State 

    I've just started watched some tape of these guys (RBs) and Hall looks terrific.  This draft is deep at WR and CB, so the Bills could target folks that could be available in round 3 or later.  Maybe the best possible scenario for the Bills is to hope to trade back and grab an extra pick that could land us Hall.  Still have to think CB is round 1 is the plan as of this minute, though.  

  7. Hall looks like a terrific prospect but I don't think the Bills will pull the trigger on a back that early in the draft.  I would guess round 4 to be the earliest round for a RB.  I have always thought that one big weakness this current team has is the lack of a back with size who can push the pile when needed.  Hate to see Josh having to keep it on third and short.  He'll get hurt eventually.  For that reason, I'd like to see the Bills go after someone with size (220+) and power, even if not the fastest in the world.  Would a guy like Hassan Haskins be available in the 4th round?

    He has not returned a punt as a pro and only 23 in college where he was nothing special.  3 pro teams have decided not to let him even try. 

    Might be worth a try on KOs only.  Interesting WFT never let him return these either.  No returns since 2019 and only a career 19 YPR average

    Seattle had thoughts of using him for punt returns so he's had work in that area.  I think he'll get a look see here.

    I don’t mind McK on this roster. But to say he is our #3 so we are all set is scary. He is a fringe player. In the right match up he could have an impact but he could just as easily be inactive. You still upgrade at WR if you have the opportunity. 

    You’re a fringe player until you’re not. He wasn’t used until halfway through the season and he has produced when called on. While I haven’t been a fan of his for punt returns, I like McKenzie a lot in the slot. He is a mismatch with his speed. If the Bills were to go after and get Engram, I think the WR room is complete except for the possibility of a late round flyer on someone for punt returns. Not a fan of Stevenson, who I think get replaced.
