I'm not advocating for him to be the first pick, I'm making a comment on his skills and that by adding him to the team, he would be a clear upgrade. But if he was, I wouldn't be upset. The delta to what he can provide to this offense would be significant.

After watching all those additional highlights, I think it’s clear to say that Bryce is a home run runner who can take it to the house, has phenomenal vision, great balance, awesome 1v1 moves, has a nose for the end zone, is an effortless runner and has great hands. He definitely would be a clear upgrade over what we currently have.

The other way around

Albert Breer and Simms both believe that Breece will be the Bills pick as well and both of these guys in 18 believed Allen was going to the Bills as well.

If the Bills are looking to potentially trade up, then this may be a good year to do it. Demand for moving down is greater than moving up, theoretically that means those looking to move up should get better value than in years past.

I think you can sacrifice some of the longevity with someone who looks like they can help you win now.

Devin Lloyd is not just an off the ball LB, he is also a pass rushing edge LB. And a damn good one at that. That dude should be rushing the passer often.

It all boils down to what you believe Devin Lloyd could become. If he is a game changing LB who can get after the QB, plays tough instinctive run stopping with a nose for the football to get some interceptions then it’s a no brainer. So it would all boil down to the scouting team and if they believe he would be THAT guy. Obviously, I haven’t seen him nearly as much of the scouts but from what I have seen of his highlights and stats and reports from other draft dudes, he seems to be that guy. I would be more than ok with it. But as you said, it may take more to get him. Maybe the Bills wait a little longer and see if they can get him in the teens if they really do like him.

Im not sure. Partially depends on what Edmunds value is. But on the surface I would think. Bills: 2022 1st 2022 6th 2022 7th Edmunds 2023 1st 2023 conditional 3rd-5th Giants 2022 1st Bradberry

I think a lot of people on this board truly don’t realize how good of a LB Devin Lloyd is. We have been conditioned to look at CB’s, WR’s and IOL’s as that has been identified as our biggest need. Devin Lloyd can do it all. He’s fast, physical, great run stuffer and tackler, awesome against the pass and a phenomenal pass rusher. He had 111 tackles last year, 8 sacks and 4 interceptions. Watch the highlights. These sacks aren’t garbage sacks, the dude has legitimate pass rushing moves. If the Bills can trade for their 7th pick and get Lloyd, not only would we get ourselves a game changing defensive player who has true MLB instincts and playmaking ability who can get after the QB, but with the trade of Edmunds you free up a lot of money to get more pieces. The Giants could throw in Bradberry and now the Bills could still use their 2nd -4th picks to get quality value WR and CB. I would be very ok with this move. The team most definitely would be upgraded from the past year.

I have been wanting Jameson Williams for a while now but it seems a near certainty he will be gone. Pickens is the guy that I want. Good speed, great size, physical run blocker and can pluck the ball out of the air with the best of them. He has been a baller since day 1 and I think he will be a legitimate #1 WR in this league for years to come. He very well may be available by the time the Bills pick. And if either Walker or Breece Hall are available with the 2nd pick, get two more CB’s with picks 2-4.

This is not a bad look for Poyer at all. It's voluntary practices and he is in the heat of negotiations. He has laid out his heart and soul to the team and I guarantee you that no one inside that locker room views him skipping the practices with any sort of contempt at all. it is part of the business, he is trying to get his last real chance at a difference making pay check for the rest of his life. If they can structure a deal that looks really high on the top line similar to Harrison with only reasonable guarantees of around $22 Millionish or so in the first two years, then the deal may be doable for Beane and the Bills. I hope he finishes his career with the us because without doubt he has been an integral part of the culture building and to the good defense the Bils have.

No it's not. We already have an ALL PRO safety, we would have to trade our ALL PRO and a 1st rounder to get him, in no way shape or form is that a win win for the 2022 season.

That's it? That's the post?

We're definitely getting a CB with one of our premium draft picks. I would say CB is the most likely selection at this point, but I don't believe they will reach too much to get one with the 1st pick. If the Bills can get a quality/serviceable veteran CB in FA, then the likelihood of a CB in the 1st round drops. I would love to see the Bills get a stud WR with the 1st pick, but same principle should apply, to not reach to get one. There are a lot of good WR's to be had in the 2nd/4th round. If we can get a WR and CB with two of the first three picks I will be a very happy camper.

I think his ability to get to the QB is underrated, look at all the big games against top competition he had and he was constantly getting after the QB. With that said, I think we are all set at DT and I wouldn’t want to use any of our premium picks on that position.

Keyshawn has always been an Allen hater. His ego won't let him turn on his view of him, he's just being a hard head about it.

In my view we need three backs. Duke Johnson will most likely be the "Third down" and relief back. Motor has the inside track to be the primary back And I believe that the Bills want a "Homerun" back (speed) who could end up being the primary back. The Bills don't have a speed back and I think Moss at best gives more of the same of what we already have.

I think the Bills going LB with the 1st pick is a real possibility. I just cannot see Beane letting Edmunds walk without getting anything in return. I just can't see it. If that ends up being the case, then he either negotiates a contract with him or he trades Edmunds for most likely a 2nd rounder. If he trades Edmunds then that leaves a gaping hole at LB and the odds of getting a LB with the first pick goes up by a lot. In which you could get a quality WR and DB with the 2nd round picks. I think there is as good a chance of this happening as selecting a WR/CB with the first pick.

This could very well be the case and if so, then they could go with BPA (among their targeted positions) and fill the CB gap afterwards. No matter how you slice it, the Bills will definitely get a FA CB, it's just a matter of whether it will be a value FA CB or a higher FA CB.

At this stage the odds of him not being a hall of famer would have to be a lot lower than him making it, barring injury. His trajectory is too great for it not to happen.

That's not what I said, reread it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of getting a WR with the first pick but with the Diggs deal and the glaring hole at CB, I believe the odds of a CB with the 1st pick are rising, unless they get a quality FA CB. If that happens I could see the Bills drafting CB with either a 2nd-4th round picks and wouldn’t be surprised if they chose two. If they get a value FA CB to compete for a spot then I think they go 1st round CB. There are a lot of good WR’s that I believe will be able to contribute that could be had with 2nd/3rd round picks. I could see Beane holding off until then to get one of those guys. Alec Pearce is a guy I think could be a real steal.

I would not be happy if we did this

This is not a zero-sum proposition, taking away from one side of the ball definitely hurts, look at the Super Bowl, it wasn't a shootout, defense was involved. Or look at what the Bengals did to the Chiefs. I like the idea of stacking Allen with weapons but Poyer and Hyde are the quarterbacks of this defense and personally I wouldn't want to disrupt that.
