  1. Yup. Local media was stirring the pot and making up stories. Meanwhile Whaley was talking to other GMs and setting his board. It would have been lunacy to have McDermott run the draft 3 months after arriving, with zero scouting experience.

    I know some of these guys football i.q''s are high enough to know this, but unfortunately a lot of good posters just cannot give Whaley some much deserved credit. Snatched an instant starter, aND valuable assets for the future. That's a near perfect first Rd imo

  2. I think they got hosed.

    That 3rd Rd pick , in this draft?? It's worth way more than your typical year. Such a deep class, you can easily strike gold in the 3rd.

    We add an instant starter.

    We receive their 1st Rd next year!

    Again, that 3rd rounder could be gold.

     

    Then they pick Mahomes!?!? And talk about us getting hosed? Lol. They essentially wasted 2 2st Rd picks and a 3rd . This trade will set them back imo,and plunge us forward

  3.  

    Chiefs GM already stated the deal originated when he talked to Whaley and that he talked to Whaley each day this week. If McDermott has all the power and "everyone" knows it, then why wouldn't Dorsey be talking to McDermott?

    Exactly lol

    How can anyone even think McDermott is working on the draft like that lol..

     

    Whaley and the Bills have million dollars invested in scouts..

     

    I'm sure McD had an impact on the pick but he had zero impact on the wheeling and dealing. ..

     

    Gets ,imo, an instant starter/leader/contributor to a suddenly very interesting secondary,a young, talented core, filled with potential.

    Give the man credit when it's due!! We get an extra 3rd , in a remarkably deep draft, that pick could turn out to be gold..

     

    Also gets a 2018 1st round pick! I mean that's an A grade to me...

     

    Would like to see the Whaley haters give him his due! !!!

    I agree, we get an additional first and third out of the deal. I would have been far less happy with another CB pick at #10 and no extra picks as an alternative.

    You hear the story where it was some sort of event, I believe Lattimore or another big time cb was getting absolutely smoked by Amari Cooper. White comes in and shuts him down! I think it's a CBS sports clip..

     

    Point is I feel we got a top 10 talent, people are so hung up on the fact the slot might be his best bet , but teams are in nickel 60% of the time, so it has become extremely important, NE has been exploiting it for years.

     

    Good to see them building up the secondary as a WHOLE... As well as piling up assets for the future. ..

  4. I think you are dreaming if you think Whaley orchastrated this=P

    Also, does this need to be its own thread?

    I don't know, but Whaleys team obviously had this kid on their radar and Whaleys team orchestrated a 1st and 3rd Rd pick additionally. I'd say they did a helluva job. McD''s fingertips are b on it ,but b that's how it should be. Give Whaley props when their Due!
  5. Your read up on White and he's a 4 year starter that is basically ready to jump in on day 1 and perform at a high level.. Seymour-Darby-White is looking like a trio that could realistically emerge as a very good trio of CBS and upgrade the group even with the loss of Gilmore. He's versatile too, Micha Hyde, two guys that can turn into stars in this system.And they'd be together for at least 3 years.

     

    Oh and you get a 3rd and a 1st next year!

    Straight business, building for now and the future. Whaley and Co get an A for this pick. ..Thoughts?

  6. He already knows this after watching the kid play in 11 NFL games?!

     

    I wonder what he would have said about Jerry Hughes after watching him play in HIS first 11 NFL games?

    Exactly and this scheme is a great fit for Shaq. I think he can have a big time impact on a consistent basis, especially if 99 and 95 are playing up to their talent level. He missed everything as a rookie and then near midseason was thrown into a dysfunctional defense and a scheme that lacked identity and communication.

     

    It's simply not fair to judge him from last year. He needs the right coaching but he has the talent to strive as a 43 end. Not only as a pass rusher but also against the run. This DLine just needs to play off each other and I think they get back in the conversation of best DL in the NFL

  7. I feel the seem way about Reggie Ragland

    To me this draft pick, yet to play a single NFL game, is gonna make or break our D in 2017

    After-all we traded up for him, he's a 2nd rounder, with a first round pedigree

    If the guy can really stop the run, its a game changer for us

     

    jc

    I felt this way since before the draft last year. I wanted him in rd 1. I just feel his game will translate perfectly to the NFL level and he will be a huge asset to this D.

     

    His instincts make up for his lack of speed that many claim he has. He is willing to sell out to make a play on every down and he's a natural leader.

     

    I also love Shaq and Washington in a 43.

  8. Marcell was pretty darn good when on the field last year too. Everyone seems to be clouded by anger.

    He was pretty darn good , but that's a bad year for his talent level. He has the ability to be dominant on a weekly basis, af and this D needs that to return to form and this scheme is a great fit and McD seems like a great fit to hold Dareus accountable
  9. If # 99 can stay healthy and motivated he can be one of the best defenders in this league, period. His strength , size and ability to be so nimble on his feet are truly special for a DT. The last time we were in a 4 man front, Dareus and the D line were DOMINANT.

     

    Yes we had Mario in his prime but we still have Kyle who seems to be ageless, Jerry who has to be licking his lips to get back in a 4-3 and play next to # 99 and 95.

     

    Throw in Lawson who is a question mark but has serious potential and whose game I feel is MUCH better suited for a 43 End. Shaq is a strong,big dude guys, and that spin move is going to be some trademark.

     

    These guys are all very good players in their own right but if Dareus plays dominating football on a consistent basis he makes the whole line and defense much better and get this DLine back into the conversation of 'Best DL in the NFL'.

     

    As well as getting our defense back into the Top 10 , if not Top 5. And remember when we had that great defense, they were consistently bailing out a terrible , joke of an offense.

     

    An improved D will make our already top 10 Offense look much better and allow Dareus and Co. to be more aggressive as a DL, which imo, adds up to more W's!!!

  10. They only realize if you win a bunch of games. 10+

    Facts very excited to see McD utilize this talent after Rex clearly did a horrendous job. Like a poster said , we still went into Sea on primetime and we're apart of one of the best MNF games. I see those close L's turning to W's if 25, 14 and 5 stay healthy and the D should upgrade strictly off of not having one of the worse schemes I've seen in recent memory
  11. Or better yet its ok to express your opinions we don't live in Russia . If you guys really think that he killed himself in prison with a sheet after winning his court case for double murder and was planning to retry the first . I got some beach front property to sell you near childrens hospital. That was an execution plain and simple

    Im reading that besides his wife and daughter and paid legal team , literally everyone else abandoned him and wasn't in court to show love and support.

     

    His mom. His brother, aunts , uncles, etc...

    No love in this latest trial, just the hate and hurt of the victims families.

     

    I think Hernandez seeing that was the final straw . Reports are he joked about it, saying "it's sad".

     

    Imagine viewing that ,your own mom and brother aren't even in attendance. That's heartbreaking. I think it brought out those deep emotions he stuffed and he figured F it.

     

    Saying that, I wouldn't rule out foul play but it'd be a shocker.

     

    R.I.P Aaron Hernandez

  12. Your welcome guys!!

    how's his speed? 4.56 isnt' fast. at all.

     

    corey graham ran roughly a 4.32-4.4

    Yea but some guys play faster/slower. Hyde seems to have natural instincts and awareness, he plays much faster than his time suggests imo. I personally feel Ragland fits this mold too..

    GB let him walk because he was neither a starting safety or cornerback and at S they had way better players

    Hyde was only GB's sometimes starting nickel back

    And Hyde is not necessarily an upgrade on either of the Bills starting safeties from last year

    Unless Hyde based on his age makes a leap in his 5th year in the NFL or is coached up

    His Walter football rating as the the 7th best FA safety

     

    Micah Hyde, a solid return specialist, is very good in run support

    but could stand to improve as a coverage safety/nickel corner.

    He won't be 27 until New Year's Eve

    So he'll have plenty of time to improve that facet of his game.

     

    Hyde's PFF rating was only as a CB cos that's where he took the majority of snaps last year

    Not safety

    He was rated a little outside the best starting 48 CB's in the NFL

    So a superb depth player, but unknown potential and or status as a starter

     

    Hyde's Dave Koch sports rating was a full point less than our S starters last year

    IMO Koch ratings are better than Madden but all metrics have their pros and cons

    But the point is he'll have to improve his game quite a bit to be equal to Graham

    Let alone automatically be an upgrade

     

    jc

    Hey Jc.

    I remember you from bbmb. It's UnBillieviable.

    I disagree here, Hyde is a defensive playmaker, and in alot of big time games.

     

    I can't remember the last time Grahm made a clutch play for us when we really needed it...Stats and ratings only tell you so much...

  13. Randomly came across this on YouTube. I said it when we signed him, that he's going to be a steal and just look at him in this highlight reel. His awareness is off the charts. His ball skills are top notch and he was a leader on a SB contending team. I love that we signed him and other pieces rather than retain Gilmore. Also, look at the competition and games he made some of these plays, he's a plyer! Glad he's a Bill. Enjoy fellas.

  14. I'm always amazed how our fans put Gilmore down.....you read this thread and for the most part, you'd think he was a complete disaster.......The best coach in the NFL just gave him a huge contract and we tell ourselves that Gilmore sucked.....

     

    Doesn't make any sense....

    He certainly has never ducked but for the amount of money he cost and the new scheme being mainly zone forDB's + strong tackling, I am very happy we did not keep him . I'm loving the Hyde pickup.
  15. No Watkins, Dareus, Lawson and Ragland injuries/suspensions (HOPEFULLY!) before they even take a snap. We were EXTREMELY injured last year. Dareus/ Watkins missed 16 games combined last year!! That is a massive loss.. Lawson missed 8 , as a rookie , Ragland 16.. Both have serious potential to be impact players in the NFL.

     

    So I couldn't disagree with you more that losing Gilly, Woods and Brown equates to this team having no chance....
