This is where I am. You can probably add Murphy to that list too if they sign Ansah.

The way they structured these contracts though they have plenty of flexibility. Nsekhe is going to be the RT. You’d still have the 23rd pick which is probably prime territory for an OT (Dillard, Ford, or Little). You may even have a shot at Jonah Williams there. If you are taking a pass rusher at 9 you are hoping he becomes a pro bowler. Clowney is already that. With Hughes being in the final year of his deal (and Shaq) you need a known quantity. I’m fine with Ansah too and am fine drafting one early. I just think it needs to be addressed.

Personally, I have no issue giving up the 4th. The Bills have 10 picks and probably don’t have 10 roster spots. If they go to 23 they will have a chance to get Noah Fant or maybe even Hockenson or Wilkins. I’d rather have Clowney (and his salary) + Fant over Ferrell (for example) + a 4th. The money is irrelevant to the Bills. They have plenty now and lots moving forward.

I’m not a believer in the source but I’ll play. How about a swap of 1’s (the equivalent of pick 32) and a 4th?

I LOVE that Barr backed out. I can’t believe that they didn’t get Paradis at that number. That feels like it should have been an easy one. From the sounds of it Bell isn’t dying to go there either. He may end up there but...

You might want to read it again. You are missing a few key words “at this point.” FWIW, Barr was the worst of their signings IMO. As I said, both teams have improved. I’m not sure what you are debating?

This makes me smile

That’s your guy I’d release Bodine, Vlad and Ivory. That makes him basically free

I think it’s safe to say that they will pick BPA (which they have been saying the whole time). It is likely a lineman but I even think that Devin White is an option. If I had to guess it is pass rush of some sort.

I add Bodine and potentially Murphy

So Justin Houston it is... Am I reading between the lines?

It has to be Darryl Williams right? Maybe Williams and Ansah

It feels like a lot for the player but I’d be a hypocrite if I objected to the speed. He’s a good fit here.

This is a signing that I can 100% get behind at the right price. He is the defensive version of Tyler Eiffert this offseason IMO. He’s a guy that has had big pass rushing stats in the past but is never healthy. This should be an incentive-laden deal and hope that it ends up being an expensive one.

It depends on your perspective

His two most recent follows are Richie incognito and Shawne Merriman ?

Ehh, it is what it is. If they start winning that will change. Players who go there love it (regardless of their agents). Overspend if necessary

Yep The Bills are nowhere near an “either/or” type of scenario. They have LOTS of cap space and can make lots more without anyone noticing.

It does mean improvement if they are better than the guys previously occupying those spots. It is inarguable that Osemele, Mosley and Crowder do not upgrade their respective spots. I’m lower on Barr than some others but he has had succcess.

If you look at it objectively at the moment they are probably the team that has improved the most since the start of FA. They added, Mosley, Barr, Osemele, Bellamy and Crowder. They are a much better team today than they were 2 days ago. The Bills are a better team than they were 2 days ago too. The Jets, at this point, have improved more than the Bills. That can certainly change but it is perfectly reasonable for both teams to improve.

I can get behind it. He is instantly our best runner and pass catcher.

Yes
