TC in St. Louis

JOK is a Swiss Army knife. Would be tremendous value. We won’t get him.

Might be smart to trade down. Lots of great picks left.

I like how hard Motor is working. He's got moves that would put every member in our community into the hospital. Get him in the open field and he's awesome. I can't stand how people say he's mediocre. He had an off year, I guess. This is his third year. Let's hope his hard work pays off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfxTTwE73Fk, his highlights from last year.

I would rather they take a pass rush guy or a CB, but in the back of my mind I see Etienne being a huge asset. I'd love to see him in the backfield. People seem to forget they signed the pass rush guy Obidi, or whatever his name is. I think he'll make a big difference. I also believe the pass rush will just get better with Star clogging up the middle, freeing other guys to get in there. We can get a good DB in the 2nd or 3rd. I think they should take a look at Koonce in the 5th. I know nothing. I think if anybody quotes this post, that will be the quote. Pretty much applies to all of us.

Great post.

Maybe we just played a bad game vs. the Chiefs. Sometimes you lose, lick your wounds and move on. We've got a few guys heading into year #3 who might just get to their "ceiling." Ed Oliver, Tremaine Edmunds, Knox. We signed some nice pieces in the offseason. I like our chances. I'd suggest a super fast cornerback and maybe Oweh, who can outrun just about everybody on the field. We need to focus on our team rather than the Chiefs. While we're looking at them there are other teams getting much better. Focus on us, not them.

Yeah, well....I agree that drafting a person based on the three cone drill of a chicken is not advisable. They are pretty elusive little bastards, though.

I posted something like this a few weeks ago and ran into some disagreements. (one guy posted to avoid anybody I recommended, which I took personally.) His injury history is the biggest concern. But he gets a lot of attention from the pundits....due to his natural talent, strength, and potential. 4.29 speed, squats 600. Elusive. If he is healthy he will be a star.

This could be Kiper showing off again. When Koonce emerges as a solid player in the league, he'll reference this repeatedly as an example of his thoughtful brilliance. I'd like to see where he mocked Tom Brady. Probably right where he was taken.

Mocks are weird. I have done at least a couple hundred. In one, and I'm not kidding, Kyle Pitts was on the board at #30. I took him. The next mock he was gone at #4. The second round pick obviously depends on the first round pick. There is no need to take another end rusher. We need a corner, and I suggest we take the best fit for corner. Unless, of course, somebody fantastic drops into our lap. Many people thought I was nuts when I posted my support for Rondale Moore, but if he was there at this point I would dance my way to the podium and snag him.

Might be a good pick for us in the 5th. Hometown kid, you know?

I was listening to a pod with Kiper and Wingo, and they were going through the first 2 rounds. At one point in round 2, Kiper said, "Malcolm Koonce is still on the board." I haven't seen him ranked that high. Is he on the rise? Have any of you watched him in action? Is he a good guy for the Bills?

Easy pal. I'm as entitled to be wrong as anybody in here.

I learned quite a bit from this. I think we have 2 good players here. Lots of people are down on Singletary, but he had some good moments. And, as a previous poster pointed out, Moss is a great blocker. Breida might be a great addition. I'm feeling a lot better after watching this.

Darnold was on a crappy team. He has natural talent. I think it's a great move for him. Much like Trubisky to the Bills, except we didn't have to give up anything.

OP here. Backpedaling. I love Rondale's potential, but can see the issues. Let's just see what happens. There have been smurfs who never lived up to their potential....like that guy the Rams traded with us to move up and draft (when we got EJ Manuel and Kiko).....Tavon Austin. Never really did much.

Hamstrings. I think he's squatted past those.

Slot guy, jet sweep, punt/kickoff returns. Somebody who can take over for Cole. But some say he'll start right away. He's got explosive lower body strength, which is unusual for a guy that short. Great route runner, so he'll probably be open more often than not.

He's rated mid 2nd to early 3rd. Just keep an eye on him and make a deal when the time is right.

Dude ran a 4.29, jumped 42.5, squats 600...I just did a mock, which was probably stacked before his pro day, and traded down to #52 to get him; picked up a 2022 2nd round pick in the process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOPrnt8mIvU

They can't stop everybody.

Who knows? They don't just make random signings. Maybe they think with their coaching he'll be a good backup. I am not qualified to assess this nor any signings. I'm just a fan who happens to like what Beane is doing for this team.

I think the key phrase is "I believe." I think they got their guy. That's my opinion. Obviously people disagree. This is a forum for opinions. And by the way, I agree that you may be right. But I do believe Josh was their guy.

I believe the Bills knew Josh Allen wasn't going #1 to Cleveland. They knew Barkley was going to the Giants. They likely knew the Jets weren't taking Allen, and the Browns were expected to take Bradley Chubb. The Bills had set up the trade with Denver for the 5th pick, but Denver had let them know they would cancel the trade if Chubb became available. When Cleveland chose Denzel Ward, the trade was canceled. Indy had Andrew Luck, so they weren't QB shopping, and Indy took Nelson. Tampa made the deal with us and we got Josh. The Bills aren't going to tell anybody before the draft they're taking Josh Allen, but they wanted Josh Allen, and we got him. I actually wanted them to get Mayfield, and I'm glad they didn't.

I agree that it's a strange draft, but I do think they've targeted a player. They've spent the offseason on this.
