    Wr Overload and what really needs to get done

    in The Stadium Wall

    I realize the Bills have needs obviously every team has needs and no team has ever won the Super Bowl with a perfect team. Jeremy White and WGR have lead the Wr train this off-season and I feel it’s gotten out of hand . It’s borderline annoying and can’t help but think these guys don’t know anything about football . If u look at the last 25 seasons or even more u will see plenty of teams have won the Lombardi with less WR talent then what the Bills currently have. This idea that we need a Wr in a horrible yr for that position in this draft is insanity to me. Most of these guys are slot type Wrs and u don’t take slot Wrs in the first or second rd of the draft. 
     

    I’ve been doing some research on Super Bowl winning teams and the most common denominator of those winning teams other then QB is in the trenches the lines so to speak and other then that it’s the identity of those teams. Those teams for the most part if not all had a physical identity and a aggressive mentality scheme wise . We definitely know the Bills are not Super bowl caliber in the trenches and we are definitely not Super Bowl caliber in physicality or schematically.
     

    With that all being said i believe the Bills should attack this draft in the trenches and the good news is it’s not a bad yr for Oline or DEs . I know I know we’ve wasted pks on Basham and Epenesa recently but I hate to say it we need to keep drafting edge or even interior players on defense and on offense with need more offensive line.

     

    To quote Doug Whaley the Bills have put themselves in somewhat a purgatory position when it comes to the lines the players they have are not bad enough to be outright replaced but also not good enough to be the difference in a Super Bowl caliber team. We are basically middle of the pack in those spots and middle of the pack doesn’t get the job done. It’s on McBeane now to identify these needs and realize we must get much better in those areas and to cancel out the noise from the Bills fans and media about going Wr early in the draft and continue to build at the LOS. 

    I want a Von Miller clone in the draft: a smaller, quicker pass rusher than Epenesa, for example. Perhaps an Edge that can also play LB.

    Post your Final Bills Mock Draft.

     

    Trades permitted.
     

    Feel free to edit up until the Draft begins.

     

     

    27.  (Trade) -> AZ (+ 2024 Conditional 3rd)

    -> BUF  WR Hopkins + #34
     

    34.  WR Jalin Hyatt Tennessee

     

    59.  DT Gervon Dexter Florida

     

    91.  RB Kendre Miller TCU

     

    130.  OT Warren McClendon Georgia

     

    137.  C/G Jarrett Patterson Notre Dame

     

    205.  LB Isaiah Moore NC State

    Assuming Bills can PAY Hopkins,why would they also add Hyatt? Now,if the Bills add additional picks,I would consider drafting TWO WRs,but this looks overdone. I would draft a LB early.

    Matt Miller (ESPN+) new 7 round mock draft........who would you have selected if it fell this way?

    Personally, I'm not a fan of projecting an Olineman at another position and dont care so much about "versatility ". The Bills seem to like that in their linemen,so you end up with mediocre vets like Van Roten and Quessenberry. 

    My philosophy is,if you need to replace,for example, Brown at RT,draft a guy who has already proven himself at RT in college. 

    Sure,its good to have RESERVES that can play a couple positions in case of injury. 

    I'm good with an OLineman within our first 3 selections.

    DHopkins would cost a 2nd round pick...would you do it?

    I would do it, I like Diggs, but I don't love him.  There just something about him I'm not comfortable with.   I think having  D hop still gives us some flexibility, if Diggs files off the handle a bit.  I would try to send a 3rd and a player or 2, but nor Rouso.   Maybe oliver, Aj, or Boogie.

    Again I have to ask...how would the Bills PAY Hopkins?

    No Saldiveri is not a tackle in the NFL he’s either a G/C 

    People are starting to see what I’ve been saying about Quan Martin and Saldiveri for awhile. Both steaming up mock draft boards . Don’t love the first round. Like 2 and 3 don’t see how battle is necessary and the last two are Meh players 

    Saldiveri is not a guard YET. Played one game at RG in college,a couple at LT and the vast majority at RT.

    Right. But whoever did this mock describes him as a GUARD

    I like the consideration of Bergeron, but assume people want to replace Brown,not Dawkins ,so why the concern about Bergeron not being a LEFT tackle?

    I'm curious as to how you think Bills would utilize Kincaid. 

    How many "12 " plays will they actually run?

    To justify being the first round pick, he has to get significant playing time,and Knox won't be benched.

    Will Bills use him as a 3rd "wideout" , start him in the slot or move Diggs there?

    I'd bring in 3 DTs and 3 or 4 edge guys. Hope one of them pans out. 

    I dont think they are going to draft a TE so I would sign one or two, preferably with that former basketball player history. 

    Sign a punter and kicker to handle camp kicks to keep our guys fresh. 

     

    If you count Von Miller as a DE, Bills already have 14 DLINE guys. With other position groups to fill out,they aren't going to bring in 6 more.

    Honestly why does the NFL care about that so much when they don't care about women abusers? 


    The league makes BILLIONS from Gambling.  Hypocrisy 

    Because gambling on football games affects their own business; I don't know of there are any CRIMINAL charges pending. 

    "Abuse" cases ARE criminal cases and any NFL suspension would be in ADDITION to criminal penalties. 

    That's the short explanation.

    Once again Beane ignoring the oline 😡

    Are you implying  Beane extended Bass rather than sign an OLineman? Ridiculous. 

    This is an extension for a guy already on the roster. 

    Who is out there worth signing for OL? Look at Bass's deal and realize that money wouldn't get you much OLine help.

    Pre-Draft: Bills already much better than last year

    Without a OL pick in the top of the draft we're only marginally better on the OLine. Beane is doing his OL thing again, quantity not quality.  If what we have now is the starting line up we'll be throwing 40 times a game and relying on Super Josh to move the chains on 3rd and short. I am hoping for a new OL starter in this draft. RT preferably, but will be happy for a C or IOL that can actually move the LOS a few inches.

    Morse isn't going anywhere.  So you think Brown is the weak link?

    I am tired of signing older, washed up veterans who,big deal, are 'versatile" . Give me a guy who EXCELS at ONE position

    After a year in which his elbow injury impacted him more than many knew, and in which he was adjusting to the first offensive coordinator change of his pro career, and which ended with a bunch of NFL fans again questioning Allen's place among the best passers in the league...

    I predict Josh will have a monster season in 2023, re-assert his place as a top three player in the league, and set career high marks in several categories.

    I mostly care about Bills winning a Super Bowl in my lifetime. I'm not getting any younger!
