Perfect fit for this defense. Essentially a Milano clone. I don’t care where he was or should have been drafted.

You may be right. Moss better show some significant improvement.

Haven’t read through this thread but I think Duke Johnson’s days are numbered as a Buffalo Bill. Cook will fill the role of 3rd down and passing game back.

Yeah, at this point you’re simply coming across like a bitter, out of touch old fart. Hope that was what you were going for because you nailed it. Cheers.

That was outstanding

I’m trying to figure out why you’re interested in watching the draft at all. This happens every year. We already know that teams are going to select players who will try to make their roster for the upcoming season. I don’t get why you are excited about watching it.

Diggs is a top-10 WR. Knox is a top-10 TE. Davis just set an NFL record in a playoff game and enters his 3rd season. Did I want a WR in the 1st round? Hell yes I did, but the top 6 were gone in a flash. If Beane grabs the 7th best WR in a deep class over a player with a first round grade at a position of need, that’s GM negligence.

Why do you post crap like this? The top 6 WRs were off the board when the Bills traded up to get the last player for whom they had a 1st round grade. Yep, that signifies they want to dumb down the offense and play 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust football!

@GunnerBill I don’t recall your RB rankings but obviously you have Walker ahead of Hall. Reason? Do you think one of the two will be there when the Bills pick?

Well, my goodness, aren’t we all fortunate an adult chose to enter the conversation and put us in our immature places!!

Correct. He probably has every team’s sweater and reports on the entire league. Bob, it’s still too fresh and we were all told how dumb and awful the Sabres were for mistreating Jack and getting fleeced I’m the trade. It feels really good to watch how the tide has turned and telling everyone to keep quiet about it is premature. People will be evaluating Eichel and this trade for years.

I think the Edmunds detractors just have to get used to the idea that he'll get an extension soon and be a part of this defense for years to come.

I've had multiple non-Bills fans tell me it was the best playoff game they've ever watched, period.

Yeah, when I heard Gabe say 150 lbs. I was like "whoa, who the hell needs a pit bull that size?"

And here I thought you were just a schedule prediction guy!

Right, forgot about that. Good catch.

Top 10 protected. If Vegas' pick is top 10 then it defers to next year's pick. Lottery is only for the top two picks. After that, teams are slotted by record. So if Vegas doesn't get the 1st or 2nd pick (with the worst odds) then it will be pick 15 or 16 and the Sabres get it this year.

Yeah the league really seems to be struggling right now.

Dallas really tried to lose that game…some of the dumbest play I’ve seen in their own end the last few minutes of regulation and OT. Goalie saved ‘em. Eichel played “ok” but was on the ice more than any other forward and only notched one assist on the PP. He was -1 for the game and 3/13 on face offs. Just like you expect a superstar to play in a life and death game. Buffalo SO won that trade. Edit: and with Vegas probably winding up as the 15th or 16th “seed” for the draft lottery the odds of them getting the 1st or 2nd pick are minuscule. So it’s almost certain the Sabres will get their 1st rounder next year and we can really put the Eichel “error” behind us.

Pretty exciting game; 5 min to go tied at 2.

I've got a Billa Poncho I wear to the games when it rains.

It makes more sense because in trading down you acquired another asset. But if you love the player at 25 you shouldn't be afraid to take him there if you don't think he'll last until 33.

First two are easy...do I even have to answer? On #3 for some reason I feel like I need to say a Honda Fit.

We do this every year (and I'm guilty of it as well) -- we think that the guy we got in the 6th or 7th round the year before is going to "make a big jump" in his 2nd (or 3rd) year and obviate the need to draft talented players in early rounds at that position. I mean, we're all still waiting for Isaiah Hodgins to break out, amiright? Those "surprises" happen once in a blue moon, and anyone expecting Stevenson to play a major role in this offense is naive (at best). A stud WR in the 1st round absolutely helps the team this year, but I do agree with you that the Bills should not trade up in this year's 1st round.
