The LBs being signed are lower salaries than expected. Money is being spent on the front and back end but not the middle of defenses. Interesting to see this play out.

Denver is serious about improving their O line.

Love the old school huge shoulder pads.

AMEN!

Smart move on the part of both parties. Nines will have a full season to impress.

Interesting trade. I have not been a fan of his but he is an upgrade. Look forward to the Bills playing the Dolphins.

I read back in January on the comp picks. Official today. Thanks for posting this. SF is in a prime position to really improve their team.

I have watched him and think he is a very good player primarily in pass defense Long term is rosy if they draft a good inside LB. A stud OG and a competent WR to build on. Reload with Allen at QB. I am optimistic.

I wait until FA is over before paying attention to them.

I concur with these options.

Having him play out of position did him ho favors. Fascinating is how people outside of Buffalo view him. I was at the Chicago game and the fans next to us said they were hoping to get him in the off season. Where ever he goes, I wish him the best. I think he is ready to become a dominant player.

Losing both in the short term will hurt. The Edmunds haters will be happy but his loss will really impact the pass defense. Reload with rookies and possibly a FA player or two will transform this defense. No longer thinking Super Bowl this season. Daunting schedule will be trial by fire for the new guys. Long term this team will be set.

Thanks! Hard to type on a phone with eyes that are over 60 years old. Chuckled at my error.

Plenty of talented O linemen at the combine. If the Bills do not land two O linemen in FA they have a good group to draft and plug in at OG.

Bills will have major hoes to fill. O line, Safety and LB are major areas. I hope they trade out of 27 and move into the second round. Pick up extra picks. Deep draft in Safety so that can be addressed in mid rounds. Building a successful team you do it front to back, inside out. O line for the first or second pick. With Edmunds hitting FA the glaring need for an LB is obvious. I expect the Bills to use the first pick to replace him. Defense will be different next season. Whoever gets Edmunds will get a difference maker.

What you want and what you get are two different things. He is an average QB and no one is tearing down the door to land him.

Poyer is expendable. Age and injuries are catching up with him. Draft a young guy and sign a FA. Loss of Edmunds hurts more.

He needs to regroup. Get a fresh out look on defense. I doubt that the Bills will have him back. Moving on!

Let him walk and draft a young QB. He is starting to get injury prone.

If you have a glaring need and it was not addressed in free agency then you will draft accordingly. Now if the talent does not meet your drafting position you either trade down, garnering additional picks) or taking a talent that bolsters another position. You draft for now and the future.

Nope

The totality of his tenure. The article covers several years of drafting. Cody Ford was mentioned. You can not focus just on last year. Overall they draft well. Their success on the field means drafting later and the chance of failure goes up. Also each year the talent level available varies. I am a realist and not an emotional fan.

Hindsight is 20/20. Context counts. Forgetting the Bills had weapons brought in through FA and that is why they drafted the way they did. They needed a pass rusher and there was none in FA that fit their needs. Spent draft capital on DLine instead of WR. I have little issue with Beane.

Injury prone running QB? He has to stay healthy and prove he can be a pocket QB. I would draft a young QB that would match the new offense and part ways with him. Cleveland owner is insane. AFC version of Jerry Jones .

You realize his presence freed up Milano? Removing him will alter the defense greatly. Your logic is flawed. They should not resign any of their UFA since the Bills got to the Super Bowl. I saw this and wonder....why create a huge need when you have two already? Use a premium draft pick on a LB instead of a WR or OL? Pessimistic view is Beane lets many of their UFA walk.
