I would be ecstatic if we came away with Odunze!! He’s the most clutch WR in this class imo and the perfect Robin to Josh’s Batman. Being active after the draft is fine but beforehand I don’t think we need to be players in that. Time to finally build this team long term and invest in Josh… not big splash defensive free agents past their prime. Have confidence in your draft like the lions and chiefs are doing the last few years

I don’t disagree on Haack and Rapp but Trubisky was an awesome backup for us. I’m none of them hurt the comp formula so that’s probably the main reason but Rapp isn’t a very good safety imo. He’s heat seeking missile with no feel for coverage and Haack is just why…

Good call on RB too. Get a thumper somewhere later in the draft. Would love if Corum fell late but he won’t

I know free agency is about to begin but I'm hoping we do nothing until after the draft...hear me out Today was a good day. Beane made some tough but needed changes. I loved what Morse, Poyer and Tre brought to the culture of our current team and I wish we could've won a SB with them on the roster (2021, what should've been). Signing Trubisky to be our backup again was a great move and since he was cut nothing hurting those comp numbers. Beane is really going to be working that comp formula to get those extra picks and I love it. The ONLY other guy from our team last year that I'm hoping he brings back is Daquan Jones because I think he'll be affordable (sorry AJ and Floyd but I don't think we're getting a hometown discount for either). Moving on and to preface my thinking I'll explain my draft strategy going into this unique offseason: 1st - Don't get cute. Draft the premier and loaded talent. It's not a safety or LB draft. THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE WR! It's freaking loaded! (i'll send my WR breakdown and rankings later) 2nd - When in doubt always draft the big money positions. These are the positions that you know after that first contract are going to get paid huge (OTs, Dline, WRs, Corners) 3rd - Let the teams with the cap room overspend on free agency early. We aren't in that market and even if we were screw that noise. This isn't a great free agent class for any position we need. BUT it's deep with safety talent. There are so many safeties available and there is no way they all get signed to big contracts early. Safeties don't get paid as much as other positions. We will be sitting pretty after the draft to nab a safety or 2 that hasn't gotten the contract they want but wants to play for a contender Now to the draft. I'm not going to go deep into where I think a player will land yet because honestly outside of the top guys (Harrison, Odunze, Nabers) no one really knows who will be off the board but because this is such a stacked WR draft that's where my focus is. Josh and everyone in this organization will be happy with this decision next year and years to come I guarantee it. I'm going to hear it all day about how dumb it is to load up multiple times early at WR but I don't care because it's where the talent is overloaded and it's what we need most to get us a SB title. If I'm Beane I'm sending McD off to a fully paid family vacation the week before and the week during the draft. I'm trusting what this year shows me and what my scouting department has worked the whole year towards. Get your franchise QB some consistent speed, hands and separation. 1st and 2nd round I'm going WR - You're going to get 2 of the following : Brian Thomas, Troy Franklin, Ladd McConkey, AD Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, Keon Coleman, Tez Walker (I think he falls because people think he's raw but dude is going to beast), Ricky Pearsall, Roman Wilson 3rd/4th round - This is where you get the best D lineman available (maybe 2). If a safety they love and think can compete to start is here that's fine as well 5th round (we have THREE) - Like I said earlier go for those premier big money positions; OT, D line, WR (I'd love Luke McCaffrey in this range. You know he'll succeed, He's a McCaffrey and a slot with good hands) 6th round (THREE again) and one 7th rounder - O line and D line baby and here's also where they can get another corner since this regime is awesome at finding a late corner After the draft we fill the missing holes with one-year contracts to guys who want to win a championship. Go Bills

100% dude is awful in coverage. He’s a Heat Seeking missile and a good tackler. Not a fan and honestly surprised this is the direction we’re going at safety

I agree all of this was needed but I hope we’re not real players in free agency. I hope we hit on our draft picks then whatever we don’t fill in the draft we address in free agency once the dust settles and good players like Floyd last year are sitting there looking for one year bargain deals. Let’s be smart this time around Beane

loved Winfield and Clements but at his best Tre was better. True lockdown #1. Winfield was the best tackling CB we’ve ever had though I’ll concede that.

Man, I just saw this. That’s a classy move from a guy that didn’t need to do anything. Hope he comes back strong to finish out his career here in Buffalo. We all give Brandon Bean some flack when it comes to some of his draft decisions, but man does he shine this time of year. I hope he knocks the draft out of the park because I don’t really think we need to go hard on free agency.

Best CB we’ve ever had when healthy. Loved his attitude and everything about him but I understand the move. Hope he rebounds and plays great for an NFC team.

I don’t believe drops are comparable, I’ll have to look it up. QB play makes a huge difference in those numbers. When all you’re good at is the go route of course your RAC is going to be better. Anyone who actually watches Cortland Sutton knows he’s the far superior talent to Davis. It’s not even close

That's not even a little true. Sutton can run more than just the go route, he gets good separation for a big dude and MOST importantly he's clutch. Dude is a difference maker.

Edwards and Alec Anderson must've shown enough for Beane and company to feel confident on the youth movement. Love Morse but I understand completely.

I want the bills go hard at WR in the draft BUT the one guy I'd be ecstatic to get is Sutton. That dude is about to explode into a bonafide stud WR. He's basically there but had Wilson as his QB. Sign me up if it only costs a 3rd rounder or so

That is the ONLY thing that worries me about him. He’s a special talent but you can’t teach that Odunze drive. I honestly think 10 years from now we’ll be talking about Odunze over even Harrison because of that dawg trait…so many great WR options in this class. Hopeful Beane makes the right choice early and often this year

I love everything about Mitchell from athleticism to route running. The only question I have is why does he not show up in games as much as Worthy. Does he take plays off or is the QB just missing him? If he loves football and has that Odunze competitiveness I don’t see how he’s not a first round pick and a likely target of ours

Exactly my first thoughts. Good move

If a DE could create separation and catch the ball in big playoff moments then I’m all for it

Maybe Zay Flowers too 😉

Agreed

Absolutely love your takes. You definitely watch the wolverines. And I agree all 3 would be welcomed additions to the bills depending on the round we take them

I don’t think that’s true. He switched over from wide receiver to cornerback and you can stick him outside or inside and he’s going to make plays. He’s just a really smart really good football player and I would love him on the bills as well. Even though it’s not a need.

I think a lot of teams know how good of a football player this dude is. He may not be a first rounder, but I bet he goes on day two.

I like the strategy and agree WR is a must multiple times in this loaded class. I don’t think we need to go crazy with DBs as we can get a couple cheap options if need be in FA. I’d save a couple draft picks for O line (tackle, center options) as those are pricier players after the rookie contracts and Brown is one back injury from sucking again and Dawkins is getting older and chunkier…Morse is old too. All these guys can play but good to not handcuff yourself later on by not having quality guys waiting when contract talks get pricey

All it takes is one team to fall in love with his “potential”. I just think his issues with inconsistency and inaccuracy are not worthy of the first round risk. I hope NE loves him at 3 though lol

I may be in the minority but I like Gardner-Johnson. He would be cheap because of his injury history but would be a good FS/nickel for us if we got a good deal. His biggest weakness is tackling but McD and company are good at getting our DBs to be more physical and he’s still relatively young.
