ganesh

Or trade down by 10 picks and get an additional 3rd rounder and still pick one of your top of the board CB, WR or OG that will still be present.

The Pegulas will be on the hook for another 200M

Mel Kiper had many several good reasons (on draft day) * Accuracy - Allen threw only an average of 25 times a game whereas the big guns threw 40 times a game...The margin of error on completion % for Allen was way too high. * Success - Wyoming lost multiple players on offense to the NFL in Josh's senior year. You cannot load up in Wyoming. * The kid has heart and works very hard at his craft. He is a best fit for the city of Buffalo *

Agreed. Currently, both Poyer and Hyde have salary cap hits of 11 M and 8M this year. I can't see this team go to next year with that kind of cap hit (by extending Poyer). They will have to use that money to pay Digss, Knox, Edmunds

They will get choked when they have to pay Diggs, Knox, Edmunds and Oliver.

That is why they play the game !!!

It was already in that range last year itself. Hopkins had a deal for 26M per year....the others are simply following suit. I think Beane made a mistake in not extending Diggs early in the off season (like he did with Allen last year when. Browns and Baltimore did not). He could have saved 2M a year in salary/salary cap; now he has to pay the same as Adams, Hill to Diggs. You want to be the market setter and not get behind. I think the Bills will have to now wait to pay Diggs next year (along with Edmunds and Knox) THis year is going to be critically important for some of our top draft picks to come through.

The problem with WR in the 1st (I am not opposed to it). * Your 1st Rd pick will be the 3rd or 4th best WR on the field (Diggs, Knox, Davis, Crowder). However, your 1st Rd CB will need to be a day one starter and continue to be a starter even when the all-pro returns Either way our 1st two Rounds will be CB and WR followed by C/G, Punter, RG.

Also, I believe the Bills top brass called Allen on Draft day morning and spoke to him for 30 minutes about the twitter post that surfaced the previous night, You gotta believe that the must have been on the top of their board for them to have reached out and discussed with him. Go Bills!

The problem with college coaches is that they micro-manage; However, in the NFL they have to delegate and let others do their work. If you don't then you will get beat.

This deal will be good for us. Now the Ravens will be forced to pay 50+M for Lamar....It will hamstring their cap situation. Similarly for Burrows and may be even Tannehill.

There is no price on #17

17 is the only number that is important. The offense runs through the guy wearing that number on his jersey

sportrac says we need about 9M to sign those 9 players. (9M against the cap). What is missing? Do we count only the 1st rounder against the cap?

both are always injured

i think he will do the same thing as Tribusky - Take a step back and learn the nuances of the game and take the next step next season

I hope Carolina lets go of Sam Darnold and we can sign him like we did with Tribusky

I don't think they thought of the two RBs as special players. I don't think they thought of the two RBs as special players.

100% agree. I also love how we are stacking on the DL...We are going to be playing a ton of good RBs or teams that will run the ball (to keep Josh on the sidelines)....This DL needs to dominate and get off the field. The speed of our LBs should help close down on the ball carrier

Hope so. Draft should net in a starting CB, speedy WR and a lot of depth for OL. Everything else is set up for this team to win the SB

No Vonatae Davis ???

CB and WR will be our 2 1st picks. BPA in each area.

It is not about winning the division anymore. It is about getting home field advantage and making teams to come to Buffalo to play in January. Patriots had a similar path for a long time....winning East was easy...but then they had to battle Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Denver and Baltimore in the playoffs

I think there are plenty of RBs available in FA market. The Bills should find a RB who will move the chains in the cold in December and January.

we got Tirbusky for 2.5M....as our backup QB. Barkley is probably in the same range. Recent backup QB jobs like Bridgewater signed is about $10M. The best chance might be for the Panthers to release Darnold and he joins as a 1 year backup to Allen to rejuvenate his career.
