BADOLBILZ

They've spent A LOT more money/cap space in unrestricted free agency on defense in AND used most of their #1 picks on defense. It's not very close to split evenly.

The defense was great last season. The offense declined from their great 2020 season..........they lost 3 games in 5 weeks scoring a feeble 9, 15 and 10 points.........and they allowed a horrific 125 combined sacks and pressures and finished last in YAC yardage. Those struggles put them on the road in the playoffs where they were 0-3 under McDermott. But they again spent their top assets on defense.........big FA money on a new pass rusher and their top pick on a CB.

So you are predicting another decline in passing yardage for Allen? If Allen just gets back to his 2020 production.....about 285 yards per game.......then he will throw for 4800+. Remember.........his numbers last year were tamped down by some pretty bad games........like the 120 yard day against the Falcons.........and some really terrible weather. I think he puts up Brady/Herbert/Stafford/Mahomes type yardage this year.......if the OL or an injury to Diggs/Davis doesn't sabotage him. Last season was a relative struggle.

The only game you saw Rodger Saffold play in last year was the Bills/Titans game. Let me educate you. They graded out pretty similarly except in the most important ability..............availability. Daryl Williams played 98% of the Bills offensive snaps and moved between two positions........playing almost 300 more snaps than Rodger Saffold. Saffold basically missed 5 games worth of snaps. That's because he was constantly leaving games last year with his chronic shoulder injury.

I agree that Mancz is like Feliciano.....circling the drain......they are about the same age.......it wasn't any kind of upgrade IMO........the Miami OL was terrible. Jeremiah Sirles was that way when he came to Buffalo too......couple years removed from starting 10 games.......but there was more interior OL depth....or at least the perception of it because they had some young, seemingly promising options at that time. And they also have nobody who they can have any confidence in whatsoever to back up Dawkins at LT. They could stand to add 3 more reserve OL..........two interior and a swing tackle. I like Kromer a lot but I sure ain't counting on him turning Cody Ford into a serviceable option.

Beane striking out with the WR crop...........

Mancz is the equivalent of Jeremiah Sirles.........who half the board had no idea he was on the team.............and Ike tore his achilles this past season and even the homer Sal Capaccio says he isn't sure if Boettger will be healthy enough to make the team in September. This IS before injuries and covid list(which is still a thing in sports). Their depth is VERY suspect at interior OL depth.

He ain't making that roster.

Who is an UNRESTRICTED free agent who played and played well for $2M last season. Just sayin' Beane. Could use someone who could actually play some LT if Dawkins goes down.

So Crowder 1,000+ yards? The top 3 WR's should probably end up with 3000+ total. 812 is just 48 yards per game.

Maybe Daryl Williams is on his way back. Definitely was weird that they didn't address interior OL at all. Same with the outside WR position.........they can say what they want but Shakir is most likely a slot receiver...........hell if they had another big guy like Gabe Davis then Stef Diggs might be taking more slot snaps. Still some HUGE names left at WR........they all just have injuries/age against them.

If a WR with 29" T Rex arms ends up playing well outside the hashes..........then he will deserve a lot of credit. Those type of builds end up in the slot because it's a lot easier to generate free releases there and because they likely have a small catch radius so they become a real small target downfield.

Maybe but that's the same as Beane saying he would take a 1st round RB.............nothing good can come of saying otherwise...........especially when he already has 2 veteran slot receivers who aren't going to want to hear that noise.

Simplifies it for people who are too stubborn to learn which positions are X, Y and Z.

Josh Johnson can play. He's a dog out there. The question is whether he is too damn slow for it to translate to the NFL. I will echo the person who was interested in Isaiah Weston. Would like to see more of a traits guy.

I think it's a scout thing. Which is one of the inefficiencies of the scouting business..........sometimes more stones get turned at places where teams have relationships than at others. I remember the John Butler Bills had some tight connections at UNC........which was good (Thomas Smith and Keith Newman for example) and bad (bust WR Bucky Brooks).

You are really going out on a limb there. I think it's pretty much assumed that he is going to catch something like 80+ passes for 1200 yards. He'd pretty much have to in order to replace the combined production while basically splitting time with Sanders.

He looked like a future superstar as a freshman in that NCG against Alabama. GREAT ball skills. The neck issues really killed his pro stock since.

As a fellow Canes fan I agree. Modest traits and not great hands. But they brought him in for a visit.........so they liked him.

They met with Max. The Cook pick probably ruined it for Sherlock.

Long arms. Man bun.

I know you are a big Mel Kiper fan.........he loved the pick........wouldn't stop going on about it........they almost had to give Mel the hook.

Yeah Buffalo should be very appealing to: WR (boundary type)........maybe Charleston Rambo who they met with TE ........like maybe Wydermeyer if he is still there QB ........like Cole Kelley if AFC East teams don't get him to mimic Josh Allen on their practice squad OG.........need bodies there The amazing depth of the Bills roster is greatly overstated.......especially on the offensive side of the ball.......this UDFA class is going to be the largest ever so they should be able to get some competition and maybe even a guy or two who will actually MAKE the 53.

Singletary would be a lot more popular with Bills fans if he just posted a fake video of him running a 4.4 40 yard dash.........nobody will know that it was only 37 yards........perception is reality apparently because the fact that he has averaged an excellent 4.7 ypr in his career clearly doesn't register.
