It is a good question. I think based on traits and on-field performance alone, I could get behind the Abdul Carter choice. However, I know someone at that team who says Carter is not well-liked by teammates because he is self-focused rather than team focused and kind of in-your-face about his Muslim faith. For those reasons I would not want him. Nor would I want any of the QBs. So what's left? Maybe Travis Hunter - if he can be an elite DB and give you a few snaps on offense to stretch the field, could kind of be exactly what we need. Would love to have him, would not mortgage two drafts to get him.

Tre White - takes two years to fully recover from a bad Achilles injury!

Signing Ty is great news. Hope he got paid a bit.

Played baseball with Ron when we were in our early teens. Great kid. Sending good thoughts for the family.

Don't like it. Not sold on Harmon and Texas fans don't care that much for Bond - criticize his effort and they prefer Golden.

1 technique - 1 please, drafted pretty high. DT that can flex between 1 and 3 tech - 1 please CBs - 2 please, one drafted high, one later. Edge - 2 please, one drafted high, one FA Free Safety - starter, drafted pretty high (Rounds 2 or 3?) WR - whenever you see value. Need another pick in rounds 2 or 3, go up and get it!

We are a field goal away from the Super Bowl - and if Kincaid makes a tough catch or we get a fair spot we might well be in it. There is lots of talent, just came up a little short. The previous disappointments we all have just don't count when weighing this roster. Those rosters are done and dusted. And the facts say this roster and coaching staff fell just short of the best. Not all is bleak. But in fairness to your point - I thought the D needed some players all year.

We have 3 premium picks, but I think we need four on defense - I would not use any on offense. 1. Big butt 1 technique that can stuff the run and push the pocket; 2. Edge;; 3. Corner; 4. Safety Need four defensive playmakers. Plus a bunch more defensive depth at corner, linebacker and line.

We have 10 years, more if they are smart and draft Josh's replacement a year or two before he is done. Hopefully, Josh will be helpful with them on timing that out. Rogers and Favre might not have done that, but I could see Josh giving management a heads-up "I plan to play two more years." Fortunately, we are far, far from that day.

No, he will get us there.

The sun rises folks. We have a young and very talented roster. This group outperformed expectations, whether or not it performed to its maximum potential yesterday (I don't think it did). We need more athletes on defense, plain and simple. We are close. We have 10 picks in the draft. There is reason for optimism. Phase II of the "reset" undertaken this year may well push us over the top. Enjoy the ride, and never say die! Go Bills!!

Don't be surprised -- they always come back. Jordan Phillips yo - Micah says hi too. 😀

First year back - rough year. Achilles often takes two years. And we know how he works - he has a chance. He is looking pretty close, Harbaugh is not stupid and he traded for him. Bring him home as a backup at the right price. He is younger than Rasul I think. What would it cost? No idea if this could happen, but I would bet they have the conversation.

19-17 Buffalo

Amari needs to draw that corner -- and everybody else eats. Samuel, Ty Johnson, Cook, tight ends. Let's go! And Shakir and Coleman! And Mack!

Surprised at the number of folks picking Broncs. Maybe just don't want to jinx it. But Josh Allen would not allow this one to get away - he would will them to victory if needed. Buffalos 31 - Orange Slush 24.

I can understand this, but there is a good argument for #3 in that list. Durability matters. But I voted 4-7.

Don't jinx it my friend. Fingers crossed. Chief punishment

Man, I don't know. Very tough to tell from TV. I like all of Ingram, Lewis, Bishop & Elam. And Jackson and Hyde. I think we have amazing secondary depth and trust McD who sees them practice everyday and studies the All-22 to decide who starts. I hope Bishop gets over the hump, but he is more of a strong than a free and I think Rapp has been very good.

Not sure that loss to the Rams won't be good for us in the long run. Admittedly I am an optimist, but I am calling a Bills win in an upset against Detroit.

"Pegula in the background" -- that is one of the keys to our franchise, he does not mess with the football men. Ask the Jets about Woody! I always say how lucky we are to have Beane and McDermott, but Pegula is almost (just?) as important. I was at the Dolphins game in 2014 after he just bought the team. As I am sure many here were. I had cringed for months at the prospect of owner Trump or Bon Jovi - or the Toronto Bills. I remember all the "Pegulaville." signs walking to The Ralph. And many signs saying "staying" or "were not leaving" - which broke out in chants all day. Thankful for the big guy.

McDermott is a great coach who has a chance ro make it to The Hall.

Thank you kindly! What a game tonight1

This is a great interview. Thanks for it. Reminds me, yet again, of why I am so thrilled that Josh is our quarterback and feel very comfortable arguing that he is the best quarterback in the NFL. That Mahomes is playing for a three-peat and Josh is not does not, in my opinion, suggest Mahomes is better. To me, they are close, I prefer Josh, and I think KC just had the better overall team (including crunch-time decision-making by coaches).

I think saying Benford would be average on another team really misses the point - even if true (which I doubt). He is on this team, not any other. And on this team, he is absolutely NOT average, he is terrific. The value of any DB depends in part on how good a fit he is for his team's scheme. Makes no sense to downgrade Benford because he happens to be a perfect fit for the team he plays for.
