Quite the opposite. As of now, it has potential to be one of the best draft ever. Matt Miller said the other day that the 2027 draft is the best that he’s ever scouted.

Just listed my tickets. Baby is coming out next Friday and we have a newborn photo shoot scheduled for that morning. Still could have swung 4:25. This will take some serious negotiation to get there.

The Bills have a habit of paying role players. That’s not a great strategy for the most part. You should pay stars, some core pieces and then have young players. The Bills have paid guys like Bernard, Knox, Epenesa, Rousseau, Samuel, Bass, etc… It’s not an issue to pay guys with all-pro upside even if it doesn’t work out. You can pay guys like: Oliver, Cook, Benford and Brown. When you start using cap space for a part-time TE, a number 4 WR, “solid” DEs, you put yourself in a tough spot. Those are the cap dollars that get you in trouble. Oliver getting hurt sucks, but when healthy he’s very good. Paying Cook was an easy decision regardless of how hard they wanted it to be.

Sadly, it’s a thread from last week 🤣🤣

The question is who is he getting it from? Eric Turner is Cover 1.

The Bills aren’t as airtight as people think. There are so many people that get this information that it doesn’t take long for the game of telephone to get it out there. I suspect that Cover 1’s info is pretty close to the team. They wouldn’t be reporting distant info. My guess (total guess) is someone in scouting. They must have a lot of connections within there.

This is a fantastic post. A huge reason for my disdain of the Keon pick is this. Why are we so concerned with finding a guy that is good when covered?!? How about we find a guy that avoids getting covered?!? The best WR years in Bills history belong to Diggs. He was/is elite as a route runner. Give me guys that get open over guys that make 50/50 balls 58/42 balls.

If he can do that, he can surely lead this Bills team to a few straight Super Bowls.

Fair. He was the one that I struggled with a little here too. You’re a little higher on him that me but he has a future and another contract after this one (assuming health). I didn’t really mean swing tackle as an insult. I meant it more in a Dan Skipper type of way where he can play, a good amount, and not hurt you.

It shows how they really feel about him as a player. They were like, “we are better off with Moore and Coddrington dressed.” Keon currently sits behind: Shavers, Palmer, Shakir, Moore, Davis, Samuel, Hardman and Coddrington” for a jersey.

Grable looks like a swing tackle. Solomon is a ST guy back of the roster DE. Davis stinks (although he’s done a surprisingly nice job returning kicks). He’s not a NFL player. Carter stinks and is hurt. Coleman stinks and doesn’t commit. Bishop looks like a good starting S. He could be a Pro Bowl guy. To recap they drafted: - A WR with the first pick of the 2nd round that can’t get a jersey on game day after 22 games. - A good and emerging starting S - A DT that’s hurt but couldn’t get a jersey when healthy - A 3rd string RB who is worse at RB than the PS RB - A backup IOL - A LB who is on a PS I think - A special teamer and depth DE - A swing OT - A CB who is on a PS I think - A PS OL that will never play. He’s only here because he was free. I see: 1 good starter (Bishop), 4 career backups (Coleman, Grable, SVPG, Solomon), 2 fringe NFL players (Davis, Carter), and 3 guys that may never play another down (Ulofoshio, Hardy, Clayton). That’s a bad, bad draft. Drafts like this are why the Bills lack high end talent. Hopefully Bishop becomes a Pro Bowler.

This is especially bad when you consider the prime assets invested into the defense. It’s been lots of early picks and most of their cap dollars. It validates the thought that you should build up Josh’s weapons before his defense. You’re 7-3 with them being bad. The delta from the guys that you have to replacement level is small. Build from Josh out. Stop worrying about everything else until he has the weapons & protection that he needs. If you’re ever going to win it’s because of him. That’s all that matters. Go get him better pass catchers and it won’t matter that his defense is bad. Stop investing there until the offense is set.

Wait, Gruden knows what a sideline sheet is?!? What an incredible watch. I think he would make an excellent HC candidate should the Bills choose to move on from McDermott. If not, I saw a video of Marty Morhinweg explaining why they don’t allow the hip drop tackle!! How are guys like this still available?!?

He’s in his 8th year. This is the 17th time that he has been named the AFC’s OPOW. 🤣🤣
