This is exactly right. Like to have him back. He's a great fit, but not at the money he thinks he deserves and undoubtedly some team will pay him. Star, Harrison and Oliver will be fine. Use the $ for an edge.
Right and I'm hoping to come out of this year's draft & FA, with a new Edge, RT, a number one receiver, a solid number 2 RB, and a veteran TE. Oh and you can throw a linebacker in there as well! Not asking for much!
That's a thought shared by many in my Bills supporters circle. Our time is now and at best we have a two-year window to get this done. After that, contracts and changeover will force a retooling period. That said Beane it's too smart to get us into the situation the Rams are in now.
Nah, Foster never produced in college and wasn't near the route runner or has the ball sense that Ruggs posseses. Foster is raw. Ruggs will produce at this level I just wouldn't trade up for him. But comparing him to Foster is off base.
Absolutely an arguable position. He's fast and jukey, but couldn't dominate on his own team. Seems light to me and I wonder how he'd do against NFL press coverage. Hey if this guy fell to us at 22 I'd do somersaults. I just don't see taking a chance on him being elite with that kind of price tag. I would need to see that elite status in college. Maybe a couple of thousand yard seasons and dominating on his own team would have helped me get there. He is a burner though with both quick separation and breakaway speed. As I told Virgil, if Beane deems it a risk worth taking I got to go with him.
I see the talent and he's actually a decent size, I just don't see the value in trading up for him. If it happens gotta trust Beane on it. Nothing to do with Reed83HOF, great poster, just don't agree. BTW great job on this draft thread. A fun read for a Bill's fan in February!
This. It just seems so evident that this is the way to go. Spain was solid considering what we had before but we need more from LG and a lot more at RT.
I would just hate our draft if we traded up for Ruggs. We already have small speed. This is a deep draft for WRs and Edge. We need both. I guess you believe Ruggs is elite. I don't think he's anywhere worth the price you would pay.
He played 14 games last year, 52 catches and almost 600 yards, more than our TEs combined. Knox had 28 for 322 in 15 games. Sweeney 8 for 119 and penalty machine Lee Smith 4 for 31, Kroft 11 for 71. And he did that without Cam Newton. I think it's a solid move if we get rid of Croft and Smith.
Yeah Sportrac is saying 5 year $50 million but well see. I'd take your scenario we're it the case but I think they like Knox as their #1. I just think they are going to put their money on signing our own and some midling depth players for competition.
Agree. So he's not a leader, not everyone is. Good production these last two key games. Not worth the elite dollars but a really good receiver nonetheless. I just don't see the need to demonize the guy because he didn't work out here in Buffalo.
I just don't see them dropping any FA coin on a TE. I think Kroft fit in well with Mcd's culture, and could be the veteran presence in that group if they move on from Lee Smith. I think they feel Kroft never got a chance to show what he can do on the field and with the cap room they have, why cut him? I think they'll go with Knox, Sweeney and Kroft.
Nice job MAJ B . I myself believe they'll begin working in Johnson next year and then move on from Poyer in 2021. He's been a quality safety and a bargain contract but clearly not going to be worth the payday he'll command afterwards.
