    hard to fix years of bad drafts  Hopefully Allen is for real.  Edmunds looks good, Harrison might be ok. Tre White and Dion Dawkins were good picks.  They need to start hiitting on 2-3 above avg starters each draft

     

     

    That at is actually a little false

     

    how many high 1st or 2nd round picks they have signed to second contracts and not see them walk or traded them away or forced to retire dye to injury?

    .

     

    a big issue is head coach stability and stick to a defense system.

    Knowing the Bills' luck, we'll want to trade down from the #1 pick but no team will be willing to break the bank for it. This is a weird period where almost all teams are set or set-ish at QB.

     

     

    New England, San Diego, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Giants, Washington need a QB of the future

     

    Miami, Denver, Minnesota, Detroit, Cincinnati, Indianapolis could be included based on this season

    Yes, I am already  bringing up 2019. We are terrible, in every sense of the word. I think we are a 4-win, at best, team. With that said, I anticipate we'll be in the top 3 for next year's NFL draft. So, here's my hypothetical question. If we are drafting at #1 next year, would  you rather take Oliver or Bosa at #1 pick, or move down to 4, 5, or 6, get a nice package of 2nd and 3rd round picks, and draft O-line & WR. What say you??

     

     

    Depends on draft talent.

     

    trading down from 1-3 will cost teams additional 1sts on top of the pick you would flip with.

     

    team needs in 2019 are...OL , RB, WR, OLB/DE CB,   Some of these can be addressed in free agency with buffalo having I think the 2nd most available capspace.

    Yep.  Let's wait for the waiver claim awards before saying he made the team.   Foster will likely get stashed on the PS after other teams' rosters are set...

     

     

    Practice sqyads arent protected. An nfl team can take from another teams PS as long as they aren’t their next opponent.

    His list has only 51 players.  So, I would add an O-lineman that can play multiple positions, and keep Logan Thomas as a 4th TE.

    My rule use of thumb.....

     

    3 QB

    4 RB/FB

    6 WR

    3 TE

    8 OL

    24 offense

     

    8 DL

    6 LB

    9 DB

    23 on defense

     

    K, P, LS

    3 special teamers

     

    50 roster spits

     

    the 3 extra would fill in fir short term injured players or young rookie picks, ir other raw talent you fear won’t get to PS

     

    if AJ injury is a 6 week injury then buffalo likely has a 4th QB on the roster

     

    The other 2 spots

     

    1 on offense between RB, TE, WRm and IL

     

    1 on defense would be between a LB and DB

    To a degree.  But as the signature columnists in the most important section of the paper, they have to be draws unto themselves as well.   No different than the on-air talent at ESPN or guys like Peter King during his SI stint.   Ratings and clicks matter.

     

    IMO, neither Sully or Bucky delivered on that mandate.   These particular buyouts may be driven as much by house cleaning as cost cuts.   I fully expect the BN to replace both guys and look for cost control elsewhere.    These will be very important hires and Dunne and Fairburn would be very good gets IMO...

     

     

     

    I aleays felt columnists...especial sports columnists are supposed to stir the pot and cause controversy and create click bait.

     

    as far as newspapers in thus day...

     

     

     

    eith the internet niw now you don’t have to rely on the newspapers to hear the news.  On top that people don’t understand that people are paid to write.p rpthus fees cgarged.

     

    with something like newspapers you don’t need to pay high salary for beat reporters.

     

    in BN they skew older where many are 15 or more years vets.

     

    i see newspapers becoming in ways like sports teams where only a few get hugh salary and stay around while 80% if the team us churned every 4 or so years.

    Rosen was talked about as probably the best pure pocket quarterback in the draft. He was available for the Bills to grab but they passed. 

    Any options on why exactly we didn't like him?

     

    -Injury concerns?

    -Attitude?

    -Concerns about playing in the cold weather?

    -Was he just overrated in general?

     

    Thoughts?

    After snorting the blow he got from giving up ssooooo much he wrote the wrong name

    Nate Geary said today in WGR two team sources have told him the bills had a deal in place with the colts to get to 3 and the Jets deal with them really hurt.

     

    He also said that's why they traded Tyrod. Not sure if he meant because they knew they were getting to 3 or if the 3rd round pick from Cleveland was a part of the trade package 

     

     

     

     

    Based on draft chart....12+22+cleveland 3rd=3OA.  Buffali probably also added one of their 2nds.

    When you say fill needs - I assume you mean starting players?  That would be a tough thing to accomplish although I certainly understand the meaning of your post.  

     

     

    You regularly get starters from 1st-3rd round.

     

    I have said this before...they trade 2nd 1st down and pick up another 2nd/3rd round pick that is 6 players, sthey pick a qb with one who competes for a job, then with other 5 picks they get 4 starters by mid season.

     

    With teams only have at most 4 years of team control uou don't sit on high picks.
