    I'll be honest, Bills are 9-3, don't play tomorrow, and I'm not dreading the rest of the season.  I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself right now.  So, I'm going to look at the current FA class, mock drafts, and our salary cap to have some fun.  Feel free to play along or dismiss and move on.

     

    Salary Cap Space: 91 Million (26 mil in rollover, 1 mil in dead cap (Wow Beane!))

    Draft Position:  25th (I'm giving us a first round win)

     

    Current Starters - Unrestricted FA's: 

    Jordan Phillips - Re-sign - 11 mil

    Lorax (Retiring)

    Kevin Johnson - Re-sign - 5 mil

    Shaq Lawson - Let him test the market (probably not re-signed)

    Quinton Spain - Re-Sign - 7 mil

    Frank Gore - Let Go

    Kurt Coleman - Re-Sign - 3 mil

    Corey Liuget - Re-Sign - 4.5 mil

    Dean Marlowe - Re-Sign - 2 mil

    Isiah McKenzie - Re-Sign -  3 mil

    Duke Williams - Not enough room on roster, drafting a WR

    Total Spent on Re-Signings = 35.5 Mil

     

    Starting Players heading into last year of deal:

    Trent Murphy - Cut (Save 7.2 Million.  Dead hit of 1.75 mil)

    Ty Yeldon - Cut (Save 1.6 Mil.  Dead 250k)

    Ty Nsekhe - Let play out

    Jon Feliciano - Let Play Out

    Jordan Poyer - Let Play Out

    Tre White - Trigger 5th year option

    Andre Roberts - Let Play Out

    Patrick DiMarco - Let Play Out

    Matt Barkley - Let Play Out

    Dion Dawkins - Extend - 14 Mil per

    Matt Milano - Extend - 8 Mil per

    Corey Bojorquez - Let Play Out

    Total Spent on Extensions - 13.2 Mil (with the cuts)

     

    ***Total Cap Remaining for Additional Free Agents - 42.2 mil

     

    Positions of Interest:

    OLB - Lorax is retiring

    DE - Murphy and Shaq could be gone

    WR - Need a big bodied #1

    RB - Backup to Singletary

    OLB/MLB - Depth

     

    2020 Free Agents (In order of rank from NFL.com and projected contract from Spodrac)

    OLB/Edge - Jadeveon Clowney (20.3 mil) Seahawks have 78 mil in cap space

    DE - Yannick Ngakoue (17.4 mil) Jaguars with only 7.5 mil in cap space

    OLB/Edge - Bud Dupree

    OLB/Edge - Shaq Barrett

    WR - AJ Green

    OT - Anthony Castonzo

    DT - Gerald McCoy

    DE - Arik Armstead

    DT - DJ Reader

    OLB/Edge - Matthew Judon

    OLB/Edge - Dante Fowler Jr (10.5 mil)

    TE - Austin Hooper

    TE - Hunter Henry

    DT - Javon Hargrave

    WR - Amari Cooper (18.7 mil)

     

    Mock Draft Results

    Walter Football - 1st - Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU, 2nd - Yasir Durant, OT, Missouri, 3rd - Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State

    Draftek - 1st - Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado, 2nd - JK Dobbins, RB, Ohio St, 3rd - Jaylon Johnson, DB, Utah

    Phinsider - 1st - Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU, 2nd - Solomon Kindley, G, Georgia

    Draftsite - 1st - Antonio Golden, WR, Liberty, 2nd - Calvin Throckmorton, OT, Oregon, 3rd - Jabari Zuniga, DE, Florida

     

     

    The long and short of it, we have the money to go after one major prize FA, but I don't see us spending 15+ mil on anyone that's not our own.  Yannick would be the most realistic option for us if we do decide to go after someone.  Everyone else is going to be mid-tier, which has worked for us thus far.  I'm the most concerned about replacing Lorax, but there are quite a few mid-tier guys out there.  Wide Receiver is another position I think will be focused on, and every mock has us going there with our 1st pick.  Fortunately, it's a deep draft there.

     

    For those wondering tops at those positions:

     

    FA Wide Receivers

    AJ Green

    Larry Fitzgerald

    Emmanuel Sanders

    Devin Funchess

    Amari Cooper

    DeVante Parker

    Randall Cobb

    Danny Amendola

    Travis Benjamin

    Bershad Perriman

    Robby Anderson

     

    FA OLB

    Dante Fowler

    Mario Addison

    Whitney Mercilus

    AJ Klein

    Terrell Suggs

    Mychal Hendricks

    Shaquil Barrett

    Bruce Irvin

    Shaq Thompson

     

    Projected Possible 1st Round WR (My Choice is to see which one over 6'2 falls to the second and trade up)

    Jerry Jeudy, Alabama, 6'1", 4.45

    Laviska Shenault Jr, Colorado, 6'2", 4.52

    CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma, 6'2" 4.55

    Jalen Reagor, TCU, 5'11", 4.35

    Antonio Gandy-Golden, Liberty, 6'4", 4.54

    Henry Ruggs 3rd, Alabama, 6', 4.4

    Justin Jefferson, LSU, 6'3", 4.5

    Tamorrion Terry, Florida State, 6'4", 4.5

    Gabriel Davis, UCF, 6'3", 4.5

    DeVonta Smith, Alabama, 6'1", 4.45

    Tee Higgins, Clemson, 6'4" 4.55

     

    Projected Possible 1st Round OLB

    Isaiah Simmons, Clemson *My Choice for our 1st pick)

    Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma (OLB/ILB)

    Terrell Lewis, Alabama (OLB/ILB)

    Jon Greenard, Florida (OLB/DE)

    Julian Okwara, Notre Dame

    Anfernee Jennings, Alabama (OLB/ILB)

     

    Pipe Dream FA Signing -  Austin Hooper, TE, Falcons.  He'll cost some serious money, but the Falcons are in cap hell.  Imagine him and Knox on the field together.  He's the big bodied 3rd down receiver who Allen can high point the ball to.  Also, this is the kind of weapon that Daboll would love to have.  Even if we draft a WR in the first, Hooper would be a top receiver on this team.  He can line up as a receiver as much as  Tight End.  I would gladly cut Kroft and put that money towards Hooper. 

     

     

    Alright, that's all I got.  This was more for me than everyone else to just look around at what's going on.  It's strange to not have to care that much about this as we hit December.  But I enjoy these kinds of things.  @whatdrought@BuffaloHokie13Get ready for the mock drafts

     

     

    I think you have put together a quality list of possibilities, but my wish list is pretty easy.

     

    re-sign Phillips (3 years 27 million 20 guaranteed) the guarantee is the key to get players re-signed these days.

    re-sign Keving Johnson, he's been playing great the last few weeks, good depth and good in Dime packages, 2 year 6 million 3.5 guaranteed 

    re-sign Marlowe, he won't command much 

    re-sign McKenzie 2 year 4 million, good gadget player, not in high demand by other teams.

    Offer Spain a 2 year 10 million dollar contract, he might find a better contract elsewhere.  Good not great player.

    let Lawson, Liuget, Coleman and Gore leave.

    release Murphy and Kroft,  $>production, gives us almost enough to re-signed out own.

     

    Since we are a year ahead of where we should be (year two of the rebuild is going ahead of schedule) I think we should spend a little in free agency.

    Sign RG Brandon Scherff 5 year 75 million, 40 million guaranteed.  Top 5 guard.

    Sign CB James Bradberry 4 year 44 million, played for McDermott his rookie year, upgrade over Wallace.

    Sign DE Bud Dupree, yes I have him as a DE, need the outside pass rush 4 year 40 million.

    AJ Klein played for McDermott, should be available as I don't see the Saints re-signing him, not splashy but solid.

    then just a collection of inexpensive camp bodies that need a chance

     

    Draft-

    1-Laviska Shenault WR- not a burner, but is the physical WR Buffalo needs, falls to the end of the first because of the lack of 40 time.

    2-Alex Leatherwood OT- long armed and agile, but not as dominating as he should be, could be a solid RT

    3-Albert Okwuegbunam-disappointing year so far makes him fall.

    4-AJ Dillon-6' 250 power back.

    the rest of the draft BPA.

     

    I'd move Ford to LG.  Dawkins, Ford, Morse, Scherff and Nsekhe/Leatherwood would be my sarting lineup with  Feliciano ready to fill in if Ford can't hold down LG.

  2. I agree with everyone’s take, he should be a Bill for the foreseeable future.

     

    however...these are the people (or at the very a part) who let josh Norman leave, hindsight says it was a good decision, but at the time it seemed like he was the best CB.

     

    how much do they value CB?  They have addressed it with mid round picks, other team’s castaways and an udfa, outside of White.

     

    But, he is special and we need to, maybe not this offseason though.  Sign Phillips, ext Poyer and get more talent in FA.

     

     

  3. That’s why it was painful watching Buffalo not pick up Josh Gordon, the potential was still there.  Buffalo has built the core, now they need to add the playmaking talent

     

    and no way on 3rd and 3 should Allen throw a deep passing into double coverage to the slowest and shortest player in the game.  It wasn’t even close.

  4. I’m not saying a blitzing linebacker should fall into brady’s Knee, but it’s football and those things happen.  A pocket passer should expect that.  

    Van Noy

    Jones

    Gronk

    et cetera, it’s time for buffalo to get a little payback.

     

    (I know McDermott would never do this though)

    He wasn’t making the team. So isn’t getting two picks for him better than nothing?

    Yes, if I felt he wasn’t making the team, but I felt he was.  Last year as a rookie he was a bright spot at the end of the year.  I liked Teller over Spain.

     

    i think this means they might see Ford as a Guard.

    did you ever pick up on how mean he was to booger?  

     

    i know what you mean about charlie.  just listening to the guy makes me sleepy.  

     

    It was a lot of give and take, but it’s the only time with the exception to Quinn and his brother in law AJ Hawk, where there was chemistry on SiriusXM NFL.

     

    I never thought Booger and Tuck disliked each other, just banter 

     

  7. I think last night was the first night Allen didn’t have good field position.  I thought with the exception of one throw (which he was lucky there was a penalty called) he wasn’t bad.  He could’ve been better, but we’ve seen worse.  The game plan of running was a result of the field position.  It started from the special teams play, we couldn’t seem to flip the field and penalties killed them.

     

    edmunds will end up being the best LB in that draft, his reads were spot on. He’s physically superior to any other linebacker in the league and the game is slowing down for him.

     

    i think Johnson is the 4th DE, he had the brightest special team moment of the night too.  I think Mike Love will not make the practice squad, he’ll get picked up.

     

    Duke Williams over Foster, if I’m keeping 6  WRs 

    zay, Beasley, Brown, Williams, McKenzie and Roberts.
