It's not hate. He has not lived up to the hype. Defensive Rookie of the Year predictions fell short. This year, I have seen a Defensive Player of the Year prediction now from LaConfora. I think many agree he is out of position, and he does not play with good instinct. He's an athlete that can chase down plays, better suited as an OLB.

Simms had Jaylon Ferguson as a top 7 edge rusher in 2019, and in 2021, he's already facing a make or break season. Simms gives us an educated guess. That's his job. It's a guess.

If true, we should be seeing Darby the Dinosaur coming out in a new book soon

Cutting Butler would mean a $6mil cap hit, zero savings. Cutting Zimmer and Harry saves the Bills $1.87 mil on their cap. Unless they make an undeniable case for keeping them, the cap says Zimmer and Harry are gone.

Being gay should not be a big thing. Being a lesbian is more commonplace in women's sports, so it's not as big a deal, though the media still seems to enjoy when someone has a preference reveal. That said, he needed to come out now, IMO, because he's overpaid and was benched towards the end of last season. He was in danger of losing his platform. so better to do it while he's an active player vs. being a released player. That way, he can bring an increased attention to the Trevor project. We'll next have the first male athlete to come out while a superstar in their sport.

Which is a good thing. It's tough going from HS to college, playing as a true freshman. He is good, has a cannon arm, but you kind of need to let performance on the field do the talking. He has a learning curve, just like any other rising HS player. Speed increases at each level. He'll be playing against 11 guys now with similar skills to the player that picked him twice in the Championship.

Ewers obviously has some learning to do. Watching his play against Austin Westlake in the State Championship, he made some bad decisions in that game. The #1 QB should be able to overcome High School play, even against a dominant team like Westlake. Give him a year or two before you expect greatness. He's not Trevor Lawrence or even Kyler Murray.

Etienne can't catch as well? To me, he was more effective catching the ball against teams like Bama, OSU, A&M and ND. Harris is a poor man's D.Henry. Big, but not as much speed. I'd wait for Javonte Williams if he gets to us in RD 2. Edge rusher, CB (Samuel) or a trade down for Day 2 picks. I think an EDGE rusher would help us the most to possibly reach the SB

Is anyone considering that Etienne ran up rushing numbers against poor ACC defenses? Ohio State limited him two years in a row, LSU shut him down, and he may have had one decent game against Bama in their blowout win three years ago. Otherwise, I'd rather have a more tested commodity in Najee Harris. I'm sure Daboll would like Harris too.

Apparently, it's a requirement that the drafted pass rusher will put guys in the hospital. 😂

A lot depends on who we get in FA. We could wind up with our DE/pass rusher there 🤞

Corner is always a wild card. Our roster has a 1st rounder (Tre), a 4th (Johnson), and two UDFAs (Wallace and Cam Lewis). I feel better going with a later round CB, while targeting a OT and LB with 1 and 2. We're mostly in a position to take best available.

Bills need to play with the salary cap at this point, getting younger, less expensive contributors. Bills may be shedding DTs, Edge players, and will likely need a LB. They'll also be filling holes in the OL. They need bodies, that can turn into potential starters. At best, we can trade down from the first round, and still get a potential rookie starter or two with the 1st and 2nd picks. After that, it is about cheaper players. If we're talking about scoring some impact FAs, the FO will have to sacrifice somewhere. Trading down gives us cap relief while still filling holes in the roster. And yes, draft depth is there at Tackle, CB and LB, three areas where the Bills can use help.

This is a very deep draft. Trading back and gathering more picks makes the most sense in this draft.

Two players that have my interest as later picks are Elerson Smith EDGE Northern Iowa https://withthefirstpick.com/2021/01/01/elerson-smith-scouting-report/ and Israel Mukuamu, a 6'4" CB out of South Carolina, though Mel Kiper has him rated pretty high https://www.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/usc-football/article242534821.html

Draft with no trades went like this:

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/ Can't say I agree with the Bills team needs if they don't mention LB though

As others have said, Fred Spiller is his Dad. Isaiah is a big Adrian Peterson fan, and that's why he wears #28. He flipped to A&M after Jimbo Fisher's hire. Jimbo runs the ball, Kevin Sumlin not so much. Isaiah has great size, and moves very well. Great kid too. Lots of NFL potential.

All you need is a valid name of a student, their university name and birth date. EZ and done. Used an email that I had created recently. Use TEAMHUDDLE promo code. It'll bring it down to $80

Can we just use our kid's email?

Titans have a good defense, great RB, a good set of young receivers. Agreed that the Titans can outscore or shutdown other teams.

The 2 do come from the practice squad, and can be sent back twice. They'd have to clear waivers to be sent back a third time after being part of the game day roster of 55.

The Raiders want to know. They're back together again.

AFC East plays the NFC South in 2021. I'd think Belichick and Brady stick around for that showdown, assuming Brady plays 2 more years (and signs with Tampa)
