In 2022 and 2023 when D.Jones was out there and healthy as a dominant run stuffing pocket collapsing DT the defense was completely different and much more dominant. I doubt Walker is gonna come in his rookie year and be that. But if they can patchwork something with an older an older Jones and Walker rotating in maybe that’s the difference they need?

Its all people got to do.

Reminds me of when in 2023 the Bills after the draft didn’t hit edge rusher as a need and signed Leonard Floyd. Bills likely just didn’t like what fell to them at WR so they are now in the market for a veteran makes sense. Moore reminds me of MVS last year, vet burner type but Moore is a bit younger than MVS.

The league is so starved for offensive line play that it’s gonna be hard for him to clear waivers. He’s right now competing with Green for the 10th offensive line spot. If they feel like he’s not ready maybe they find a way to IR him for a season and get him to pesudo redshirt

Typo I made the edit. He’s a better blocker than Morris but not as good a pass catcher

Are people really thinking Hairston is short? Corners on average range between 5 foot 10 and 6 feet so Hairston seems to be right in that range.

Bills got that niche TE3 with some upside. Much more of a blocker than Morris but not that great a pass catcher but has some traits as a receiver. Viewed as the best blocking TE in the draft so getting him for a 5th round pick is not bad at all. Bills had a lot of niche roles open and they filled one with a 5th rounder. Solid piece of business.

Hoping he can step into the Smoot role this season, and then in years 2-3 develop into a monster DE. But he definitely adds more physicality to the defensive line which is much needed.

I am thinking the Bills probably feel like the back injury held him back in 2024 and that proper rehab is gonna help him get back to his 2023 form where he was a much more dominant player. I think they feel like a return to health and a NFL strength and conditioning could sure up his lower body. Not too many men on the planet are that size.

Oliver is a very good player, you could argue has he been good enough for a top 10 pick but let’s not pretend Oliver isn’t a good player. The Lions had a top 2 Offensive line last season and Oliver took over that game. Yeah Ed’s had some bad or subpar games too but that’s dam near every single defensive player

I would think the Larry O suspension keeps him a bit safer. You got Ed, D.Jones, and the two draft picks likely to make the roster and the Bills like to carry 5 so with Larry O out 6 weeks that’s gonna keep Carter in a good spot to hold down slot 5.

Seems like a “fair” trade” basically amounts to a pair of mid round picks to trade up 16 slots in round 2. Bills got a DT just not the big run stuffing player the fans wanted. Still plenty of picks to go

I like the pick. Harmon/Grant/Nolan were all gone at DT the value was at DE and CB and the team took the CB which you could argue was the teams biggest need. I like what the Bills could do at in round 2 at DE and DT or WR. Cross CB off as a need nice move just wish one of the better DT’s fell.

100% knows the system and is a locker room fit, is older (29 turns 30 in January) but not ancient, and is going to be coming up on two years removed from his last serious injury. He's a starting caliber option which is what the Bills needed. Not gonna take CB off he draft need list but it makes the Bills at least a little less desperate there which is a positive.

Jets are tearing it all down and have no direction at QB. Fins are heading for an implosion and are already in a tough cap situation. Two divisional rivals that are not likely doing too well. The Pats could also still be a year away and if Maye isn't the guy or isn't quite good enough then it's looking like a few more years of dominance in the division.
