    Former Bills UDFA Eric Striker was a very productive EDGE in college that didn’t have enough sand in his pants to stick in the NFL

    Striker was 6' 220 and maxed out at 9 sacks in college.

     

    Pretty different than 6'1 250 with 16 sacks in one year to lead all of FCS.  Also has an unusually long wingspan for his height

    Defenses really stopped worrying about Diggs getting down field.  The offense was fine without getting production from both.  Coleman in a condensed set will help in the run game and also provide those big slot routes.  Claypool has his best chance since Pittsburgh to produce.  Mcdaniel saw him as a te.  Could be the primary back up for Coleman.  Obvious big role is being developed for him.  

    I think Claypool's best shot is to fill Gabe's role as the vertical threat.  Much of his early success was on vertical routes with Ben.

    1) Tim Graham can be a jerk sometimes but he and Dunne are seemingly the only Buffalo media members willing to publicly speak on PSE’s private matters. Everyone else is too scared to upset the only business in town.

     

    2) The fact that the son-in-law was “fired”, which is very different than resigned, implies that something not great happened. Graham wouldn’t have used that word willy-nilly.

     

    3) The rosy picture that PSE painted when they first rode into town on white horses is being severely eroded in recent years. From the PSE slide-deck release that prioritized the families lifestyle, to the firing of every executive they ever hire, to the disaster that is the Sabres, to now this. As time moves on, I genuinely am becoming convinced that McDermott is keeping this operation stable. I don’t agree with all of his coaching decisions but he is clearly a good man and leader of men.

     

     

    Yeah… Terry is the last owner I think of when I think “loves the limelight”. He won’t even give a once-a-year press conference.

     

    We should be terrified of Beane and McDermott getting fired, not championing it like many here.  God only knows the hires this ownership would make.

    I view Soloman the same way I view Tylan Grable and Travis Clayton: High upside, boom or bust physical specimens. Of course, Soloman was taken in the 5th round, which makes it a riskier selection.

    I think they're different.  Grable and Clayton are projections based on potential.  Soloman has a track record of incredible production but just lacks prototypical size.

    I can't say I'd be happy with that kind of result.   I'd at best be indifferent.

     

    I was hoping they'd pick Austin Booker with that selection they traded to the Bears........and that's who the Bears took.

     

    I liked what I saw of Solomon........I even thought he might have a clearer path to success in the NFL.   As an OLB edge rusher.  

     

    But he's just not a fit for the Bills defense so he was basically off-the-board for me there.   Hopefully they find a way to make it work.   Didn't work with Moats.   On D he did next to nothing well with the Bills.   We were collectively glad to see him go after the 2013 season.   He played WAY better in Pittsburgh, in a scheme that fit his skills.

    I'm pleased with the approach.  Our usual "type" at end seem to lack twitch off the edge.  Even as a designated pass rusher there is value and it is a clear need.

    Don't forget about Newton too...he could be an option here as well.  But I do agree, I think if I had to guess who is BPA right now at this pick on Beane's board it is probably not a WR given the players who are still on the board.  Maybe Mitchell, McConkey, or Franklin could be, or at least close...just the value on a couple of these other guys seems pretty high right now.  

     

    Newton is intriguing.  I like Fiske and Jenkins too, maybe one (obviously not Newton) might last to 60

    Not as sick as I am of people here pretending McDuffie was a Slot Only CB prospect so they can say we didn’t really want him. Revisionist history so they can excuse the Bills’ mistake. 

    Well he was considered a slot and he plays in the slot.  So there's that.

    What are you talking about? We literally went through this when the bills wanted mcduffie and ended up with Elam a few years back. That move cost us and this one will too. Bills are playing checkers, while the chiefs play chess. 

    I’m so sick of this dumb ass Mcduffie narrative.  We were not drafting a slot corner.

    He wasn’t asked to do much at Texas. If he can’t get off the line in the NFL, he will relegate to just that. Speed sweep guy and occasionally catch a nice deep ball. 

    He doesn't even look nearly as fast as his timed speed.  He's high cut with those long legs.  Once he gets going he's electric but I don't see him as very sudden or elusive.  I'd hate the pick.

  10. I think it has to be Brian Thomas Jr.

     

    The Bills, I believe, want Kincaid to be the number one option so a true #1 WR- while nice- is not completely necessary.

     

    What the bills are missing is an explosive vertical threat that can get off press and stretch the field opening up the rest of the field.  That is BTJ.
