This is whats great about having an MVP-level QB: he makes everyone on the offense better allowing you to focus draft and FA capital on defense. Based on the overwhelming majority of FA signing being on defense, id suspect we draft a CB in either RD1 or RD2 and the remaining draft will be heavy offense with WR, OL, RB

I havent been able to follow closely enough, but does anyone know/think/suspect we couldve had either Jones or Miller and we chose to go with Miller bc of coaching/fit or did Jones not want anything with us? im psyched about Miller.

My post was not meant to be an expansive layout of roster moves. A veteran WR can be signed to replace Sanders or Beasley and/or a WR drafted in the 4th or 3rd rd. Davis moves into the #2 WR slot should be expectation id believe.

Its obviously a gamble. If he shows durability again hes a top 10 player in the NFL.

Lets be honest. Beyond salary cap and skill - it also takes some luck. Will the Bills finally get some of that luck? We’ll see.

This was a very exciting season except the Super Bowl didnt do much for me but thatll happen. The season was phenomenal though. Rating continue to show NFL is king.

They made one super bowl on the back of great draft picks. They made a second super bowl on the back of a trade for a QB, where all the stars aligned, and that happens maybe once every 20yrs in the NFL. Also, McVay has a lot to do with their success. All i'm saying is that what the Rams have done is not necessarily a blueprint that other teams should or even can follow.

I agree. I like Hunter, but the guy is turning 28 this october and does have a history of injuries. That being said, I would do it for a 2nd round pick. I think due to where the Bills are - literally on the brink of a super bowl appearance - giving up a 2nd round pick and taking a gamble on his injuries would be worth it.

I feel this narrative is getting kind of old. The Rams made their first super bowl under McVay based off amazing draft picks (many of which had already been drafted), not FA, and a fresh perspective from their young HC. They drafted Cooper Kupp, they drafted Goff, they drafted Tyler Higbee, they drafted Gurley, and they drafted Donald (off the top of my head). This second super bowl rendition of the Rams is more of a mercenary approach, b/c if you look at the draft history under McVay, there are many more misses than hits. They really haven't drafted well since he's been there. But the entire key in all this was the ability to trade for Stafford. How many times is a player like Stafford available for a trade? All the Ramsey's, OBJ's and Von Miller's in the world would've meant squat without the ability to trade for Stafford. And it was a huge gamble, b/c as we saw multiple times this year, Stafford still almost blew it for them. Where would the Rams be right now without their ability to trade for Stafford? Likely not the super bowl. The Rams have been able to make it work but i'm not sure how their approach can be applied to other teams around the league. There aren't many Stafford-type QB's available for trade every season. If the Rams hadn't been able to trade for Stafford they'd probably be looking at another 9-7/10-6 season, with an early exit in the playoffs, all while being in cap hell. The approach the Chiefs and even Bills have taken is much more sustainable in my opinion. You have to hit on some key draft picks and supplement them with mid-tier veteran FA signings. In my opinion it creates an atmosphere where success can last 10+years, whereas the Rams may be on the brink of collapse within 1-2yrs. Or who knows, maybe they'll trade for Josh Allen in 2 years.

As long as Allen is protected in the pocket, we dont need to have superstars at WR. We already have one in Diggs. Brady is the best QB in history with a bunch of no-names for the majority if his career. How many times did we see him standing like a statue in the pocket for 5-6 seconds? Diggs + Davis + Vet FA WR + mid-round rookie in the draft is plenty. Especially with Knox coming into his own at TE. Take a flier on a speed WR in rd 3 or rd 4. Sure up the oline to protect our greatest asset is my thinking.

If we arent trading up and Linderbaum is there that almost seems like a no brainer. Linderbaum has day 1 starter and perennial pro bowler written all over him. We have to protect Allen.

Its almost impossible

Where do some of you come up with these hot takes?

I never said hes the greatest player ever. Now youre just creating an imaginary discussion. People talking about grabbing Tyreek type players like they’re a dime a dozen. Lets get ourselves a Thurman Thomas type RB too in this draft. Wouldnt mind a TJ Watt type DE in the second round. Finish it off with a deion sanders type CB in the 3rd

Tyreek Hill is an elite player. Perhaps top 3 offensive player in the NFL with his explosiveness. You know whats very likely going to happen searching for a “Tyreek type” this draft? You’ll end up with a McKenzie type player.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Perhaps. I feel when they actually made an effort to incorporate him he was more than good enough. He took over the 2nd patriots game.

Im sure Dick Jauron and Doug Marrone were phenomenal interviews

Why cant McKenzie be that player?

My parents are from Spain. Im ethnically hispanic in this country, but racially white. This country has a hard-on for classifying people. My parents never knew they were hispanic until they came here. Being from Spain, they simply considered themselves european and white. We like our subcategories and creating dozens of boxes that very few people can neatly fit into anymore. Latino and Hispanic arent a race. Flores is ethnically Latino/Hispanic and racially black. So in short, hes both. Its more nuanced than black/white unfortunately. And Flores isnt double-dipping. It simply is what it is.

Grass can be green anywhere as long as you water it.

I dont understand how some people act like gambling on games never occurred before? Like Fanduel is somehow now to blame. Or Vegas hasnt existed for - basically - ever. Like the Romans werent gambling on gladiators. If someone is willing to take a $200k bribe to “throw a game” does anyone think that same person cares whether or not the NFL has finally partnered with Fanduel? That 200k bribe could have just as easily been offered and taken 60yrs, 70, 80 yrs ago bc we have this thing called..wait for it….wait for it…….. WAIT FOR IT: MONEY. This thing we call money has existed since football was invented. Theres this other thing called briefcases where money can be placed. Another thing called telephones allow these conversations to occur. And so far ive only scratched the surface of this revolutionary 1950s/1960s era technology. Wait until we get into wire transfers. All kidding aside.. The legalization of sports gambling brings regulation and taxation into the fold. One can easily argue that this synergy, between the gambling industry, states legalizing it and the NFL only makes it HARDER for this kind of stuff to occur. People need to remind themselves of a couple of simple things when it comes to sports and gambling: 1. The opportunity to cheat will always be present 2. Betting will always occur, regardless of legality. Now i hope you can all sleep soundly at night without the tinfoil on your pillows.
