He’s a horrendous athlete. That’s why he’s there. Walker is so stiff. Now maybe, he’s decent value as we move forward but he’s not a very good football player. He’s very good at measuring. A year ago, he was thought to be a top 10 pick. The more teams evaluated the more they saw that he wasn’t very good. If you want to drop a 5th on him, that’s cool.

Why do we “hope” that Keon improves but replace the guys on defense that we don’t think are good enough? The goal should be to turbocharge Josh not to rely on him elevating scrubs. I oversee a sales team that has 27 sales people. 37% of our book of business is generated by the top 3 people. Is it better for me to give them everything that they need to go further or to spend time/resources worrying about numbers 25-27? That’s the WR argument. Who cares if your 5th corner or 5th DT sucks? I don’t care if my 25th best sales person isn’t good. I’ll never invest in them in place of those top 3 people that make wins happen.

My goodness, don’t be so simple. It isn’t about how many balls are thrown to him (that’s a part of it). It’s about the impact that he has on the offense. If you draft, Thornton, for example, you have to give cushion and have safety help over the top. He’s 6’4” and runs a 4.30 40. If the safeties are 20 yards back and shading outside of the numbers, what do you think happens in the middle of the field? Do you think that there is space for Kincaid and Shakir to operate? Do you see why that’s a positive? Do you think that a safety being 20 yards from the LOS is better or worse for the running game than a safety playing 8 yards from the LOS?
-
Amari is washed. That’s why they haven’t signed him back yet. Do you think when they traded a 3rd for him they planned on him only being here for 1/2 of a season? Again, that’s a rhetorical question. If he had ANYTHING left, he would already be back. Maybe they get backed into a corner and have to bring him back but anybody with his career, remaining on the market through the draft, should tell you what the league thinks of him.
-
That’s totally fair. I think that they can’t get the number 1 WR that they are lacking here but can get a quality deep threat. It may be a 1 trick pony like Thornton but that skillset alone opens up the field for everyone. There are a bunch of WRs left that will play regular snaps in the league. They just won’t be at the top of depth charts (at least at this point).
-
What do you believe is more important: someone that will play 20 snaps a game to keep the safeties deep or someone that will compete with Dane Jackson & J’Marcus Ingram for the 4th outside corner? It’s a rhetorical question. They were an offense built on scheme and Josh. The Ravens in the first game openly said that they just pushed the LOS and jammed the middle of the field. The Bills immediately traded for Cooper to make teams at least respect them down the field. He’s gone. 40 miles might be an understatement. There’s nuance to this. The Bills scoring a lot of points doesn’t mean that they have good pass catchers. They’re a bottom 5ish WR group. Shakir is the only above average player in the room. He’s a top 30ish WR. We need to stop looking at a stat sheet to tell the story. The defense sucked. The talent sucked. The depth has been, and will be, fine. They were slow. That’s been addressed. Filling out the back of the defensive roster without getting help for the most important player to ever wear a Bills uniform is criminal. IF the Bills are ever going to win a Super Bowl, it’ll be BECAUSE OF Josh Allen, not because of their 5th CB or 5Th DT. 🤣🤣 opening up the entire playbook for him >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> more defensive depth

The most important remaining need is a field stretching WR. There isn’t a close 2nd. Giving Josh Allen someone that can stretch the field vertically not just adds big plays, it opens up the underneath for Kincaid and Shakir. It gets safeties away from the LOS to help the running game. I think that the stat was the Bills saw the most (or at least top 5 most) loaded boxes in the NFL last year. That’s impossible with Josh Allen as your QB. That’s malpractice by the organization. Palmer should help some but it’s the biggest need by 40 miles.

Bills 2nd Rnd pick in 2025 Draft : TJ Sanders - DT South Carolina

That’s a @GunnerBill guy -
Derrick Harmon’s mother passes away after draft
Kirby Jackson replied to KingBoots8's topic in The Stadium Wall
So horrible. May she rest in peace 🙏🏼🙏🏼 -
I don’t care about fit anymore. I care about talent. If we think Sanders is a better football player than Collins, I want Sanders. I’m with you on BPA at those few positions and I’ll add S. Just get quality players.
-
Blank (and Khan) signing off on crazy overpays is something. If the Falcons are 9-8 or whatever they’ll be picking 18 next year or something like that. They trade that and a 2nd for 26 and a 4th. That’s wild.
-
The price paid was shocking (Jags/Browns price too). It wasn’t a shock to see them take another rusher. It was shocking to see a 1st next year and 2nd this year. It is a giant price.

So funny, if you took this poll 2 days ago, Hairston wouldn’t have been top 4 or 5. I’m not saying he shouldn’t have been but Amos, Emmanwori, Campbell, certainly Johnson and probably Green would have gotten more votes. We just did this exercise. I like the pick. The voting here is hilarious though.
-
TJ Sanders Luther Burden I would also be good with one of those edge guys that’s left.
-
I think that the trade & Will Johnson are the right answers. Dart going ahead of Sanders wasn’t a surprise. The winds started blowing that way a few weeks ago. Additionally, Sanders falling out of the 1st became a possibility. I thought someone may come up to the end of the round for him but it has been POSSIBLE lately that he could be QB4. That’s still out there. The other major surprise was the Falcons for a 2nd year in a row.

Lol, this is going to be Dart. -
So the team that created “everybody eats” used a 1st on a WR. 🤷🏻♂️
