Explaining in a little more detail where my mind was when I said that...
We carried 9 OL on the 53 last year:
- Dawkins, Dion
- Brown, Spencer
- Torrence, O'Cyrus
- McGovern, Connor
-
Morse, Mitch -
Bates, Ryan - Edwards, David
- Anderson, Alec
- Van Demark, Ryan
This year 7/9 OL are returning:
Locks (5)
- Dawkins, Dion
- Brown, Spencer
- Torrence, O'Cyrus
- McGovern, Connor
- Edwards, David
This is our presumed starting 5 OL. The only thing that could change is McGovern moving back to LG and Edwards moving back to a reserve role.
High Probability to Make Roster (2)
- Van Demark, Ryan
- Anderson, Alec
These guys are REALLY close to being locks in my opinion.
The Bills signed Alec Anderson as an UDFA, and he spent all of 2022 on the practice squad and the entire 2023 season on the 53. Van Demark was a Colts UDFA in 2022 but like Anderson spent 2022 on our practice squad and all of 2023 on our 53.
The Bills have invested a lot of time/resources into developing both players and I think they clearly have a leg up on the competition.
New Veterans (3)
- Collins, La'el
- Clapp, Will
- Doyle, Tommy*
Collins has some guarantees, but I don't think he's a guarantee to make the roster, although that likely gives him a leg up. I don't think Clapp has a chance to make the roster unless there is an injury at the C position. Tommy Doyle fits here because he's coming off injury, but made the roster in 2021 and 2022, likely would've made it in 2023 before a season ending injury - he's fighting an uphill battle.
Drafted Rookies (3)
- Van Pran-Granger, Sedrick
- Grable, Tylan
- Clayton, Travis
The way Beane spoke about Clayton after the draft, it seems like they've banking on him being the 17th guy on the Practice Squad. My gut tells me that Van Pran-Granger is nearly a lock for the reserve C role (I think this is possible with McGovern and Edwards being able to play G) and pundits seem to think he could end up starting for us this year. Grable is competing for a reserve T role with the likes of Collins, Doyle and Van Demark, if not he's likely another hopeful Practice Squad stash for Beane.
After walking through it I feel pretty comfortable saying we can predict who 8/9 lineman will be on the 53.
- Dawkins, Dion
- Brown, Spencer
- Torrence, O'Cyrus
- McGovern, Connor
- Edwards, David
- Anderson, Alec
- Van Demark, Ryan
- Van Pran-Granger, Sedrick
That leaves Collins, Clapp, Doyle, Grable, Clayton, Edwards, Britton and Bills competing for 1 spot.
Jordan Schultz suggested that Keaton Bills *SHOULD* make this team. I just think that it's going to be an uphill battle for any of the UDFA to break camp on the 53.
just like with other positions…Bills will be a tough team to get a 53 man roster spot. It’s rare to see someone picked in rounds 1-3 gets cut after camp. In their case they are in positions veterans are not returning.you figure their first 3 picks are locks on making the Bills roster if not injured.
with each position group the last spot is up for grabs excluding the top 3 drafted rookies ( WR, S, DT/IDL)

Georgia Gunner Britton from Jeremy Fowler

Look at the top 50 WRs and cross it with their 40 times.
a high 50 time without wearing equip is not a pure indicator of success

This is such a confusing statement to me.
Which player drafted 28 and later would make you stand up and say that?
OP wanted thrm to sell all picks and get in top 20 and get one of those 3 top WRs thinking thst is the missing piecethis teams need to add depth…drafting safety and interior off/ def line isn’t sexy enough.
folks on here do not understand therr is a salary cap….
look across the league, the teams that have stayed good for a long time rely on youth/ picks because you need this picks to balance out the club salary structure.

For those of you that aren’t thrilled about the Keon Coleman pick…remember one thing. Word came out that he was the last receiver left on Allen’s wish list. Thats a big deal. Why would Beane not want to consult the face of his franchise when trying to get him more weapons?
This tells me that Allen’s wish list included Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Coleman, and probably Thomas. Think of it this way…if worthy, pearsall, or legette were on that list, they would have taken them at 28, or at most 32 for legette. I’m sure Beane would have liked to have traded down another time, but he could have risked losing Coleman.
I wasn’t overly thrilled with Coleman being the guy, but while he might lack separation on tape, and a good 40 time, he also had amazing splits in the 40 and other drills. The drills are where the football comes out in these guys…you know, catching the ball. Haha. Anyways…when you look at the bigger picture with Coleman, it’s not a bad pick at all. The guy is really athletic, has great hands and body control…and most of all…Allen wanted him.
im curious one the amount of overlap in the McD/Beane firing and Trading Allen for picks

I'm stunned that he's dropped to the 4th round. I remember early mocks where people were cheering the idea of Franklin dropping to us at 28.
Clearly something is warning teams off but I have no idea what
1. routes hr can run2. light body frame breaks warn hit
3. poor interviewing
4. seemed to lack passion of playing in the NFL

7 more picks to go.
1 - 4th - 128
4- 5th - 141, 144, 160 & 163
1 - 6th - 204
1 - 7th - 221
I doubt Beane makes all these picks. Given the FA signings, I’m not sure we have room for 10 rookies. Last year we sent two 7th rd picks to the practice squad and lost them both. I’m also still hoping for a trade up to the top of the 4th.
Needs: Edge, CB, RB, OL & WR
more of …Beane needs to be fired….
it takes 2 to tango…but thr late 4th and the first 5 th can get you into the top 10 picks in the 4th throw another 5 th it can get you high.
what I don’t know in the top 5 who is rebuilding but doesn’t have many picks left.
thry can also trade a 5 th this yr for a 5 th next year

Can someone explain to me how you think the Bills-Chiefs trade came together? Who says what first? Do the Chiefs tell the Bills who they are taking? I don't get it.
Chiefs looking to trade up…they are talking to like 6 teams on trading up and down.
teams don’t discuss who you are picking
its just negotiating value of the pick. You got one team looking to move down, another to move up.
buffalo in their scouting seemed to have only 25 or so 1st round graded players.no 1st round graded players left so thry traded down. Thry traded down again to 2nd round.
they did not trade down again because they likely asked for a 3rd or top round of thr 4th in a trade and teams weren’t doing it.

Mentioned Commish would like an 18 game schedule….herr is how I see it.
2 preseason games
18 games in 20 weeks
4 playoff toundd
Super Bowl
after thr regular season therr would be a “ play-in”/ wild card round
week 1 7-10, 8-9 ( neutral site? )
week 2 winners, top 2 WC, Div winners
week 3 conf semis
week 4 conf championships
week 5 bye
week 6 Super Bowl
Last 2 weeks of august excluding 31st
13 weeks Sept- Nov/ aug 31-nov 29 add up to 7x13=91= 30+31+30
9 weeks= Dec+Jan+Feb 1 / Nov 30-Dec-Jan =31+31+1=63=final 5 weeks+ first 4 weeks of playoffs)
bye week
SB
2+13+5=20 reg weeks.
theyear valentines is a Sunday, they play 1st or 3rd Sunday.
bye weeks will be more concentrated like 4 weeks for all teams in mid sep-mid oct and mid nov-early dec. This will also create A bunch of special games like on Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday

Who would you NOT want…if the pick, or after a small trade down -

I was going to do a poll but then realized I had no clue how to do a poll so here is the question:
How would you feel if the Bills traded the two 2nd round picks and the third rounder (or some other combination of picks) for a (projected) low to mid/low 1st rounder next year?
The cap situation will be a lot better next year and with 2 first round picks and an aggressive free agency that could be the teams "all in" year. Bean went out of his way to say he was already getting calls and I doubt he traded out of the first round twice without the owner in on it so this probably has Pegula's blessing and jobs are safe.
If Bills management reasoned they didn't have the firepower (cap space and picks) to substantially upgrade the team this year, then they might have also rationalized why not start planting the seeds for next year.
You don’t do thst.
it’s common for teams to trade next years 1st for a high 2nd round pick
next year they should have their 1st and 2 2nds

A fair point. But his speed is special. And if you prepared to leverage it schematically, it can have a huge effect on the rest of your offense. That’s my projection anyway, and I’m gonna be watching to see if that’s how it actually plays out.
it’s not hard to get 4.4 and under speed.
IIRC buffalo signed KJ Hamler who has 4.4 speed.
What's the point of this team's philosophy?

Something people seem to forget in throwing a ball 40+ yards doen thr field. How long does it take for the ball to go from release to re river. Given that time,how far can the deep safety need to be away from ball catch point yo grt therr at the same time?
deep balls are just not as simple as you might think, with many defenses playing a defense to prevent. As others have said, you may see these occur once a game excluding end of half/ game Hail Mary throws. These go routes are run to control safeties on underneath routes or you isolate a defender on deciding who to bite
