@corta765 I believe it is only three London games in 2025.

Reed would be a de-facto #1 here like he has been in Green Bay by virtue of being the best receiver but he isn't a #1 receiver talent IMO. He is a very good #2.

Reed and Doubs are also not #1s. The closest guy they have is Watson but he can't stay healthy.

Haha and now you are mixing up FA fullbacks. It was Jerome Felton, signed as a FA in 2015, cut at final cutdowns in 2016 for baby Gronk, a move reversed before week 2. DiMarco was a McDermott signing in 2017.

If you are thinking the first play of the Rex era in 2015 it was Tyrod at WR. Matt Cassell under center. Home v Colts. And it cost Tyrod a QB win stat as Cassell was recorded as the starter. Famously Rex had boasted to the refs beforehand that our first play was a touchdown on a trick play. Typical Rex. All bluster, clown show execution.

They used to play NFL in baseball stadiums. I'm sure they can find a way to make it work.

1. Hunter, Colorado 2. Barron, Texas 3. Johnson, Michigan 4. Revel, East Carolina - - - 5. Thomas, Florida State 6. Morrison, Notre Dame 7. Amos, Ole Miss 8. Hariston, Kentucky - - - 9. Bryant, Kansas 10. Alexander, LSU That's my top 10 right now. Think the top two tiers are the only guys I'd consider in the first two rounds.

MCG is an incredible venue.

I am not sure after the Elam experiment they will go for a guy like Thomas with the idea that he will be great when we play more man and we can coach him up in zone. Yea. I agree. I think they will sign a vet. It is where in the market they pitch it that will tell us what they think of drafting one.

Yea it is one of the commonalities between our two mocks. We have both cleared out the corner board way before the Bills pick in round two. If they don't get one in FA then I think my version 2.0 will have to have them taking one at #30. Who, I am less sure on. I think Revel, Morrison and Hariston all coming off injuries of some degree, Thomas a slightly less obvious scheme fit... maybe that leads to Amos (who is their type and would be perfect for this scheme) even if #30 feels a tad early for him.

Have the Bills ever taken a guy off a major injury under this regime? I don't think they have (though happy to be corrected). I think Revel had he stayed healthy is a slam dunk top 15 player. But even so, I just don't think taking guys coming off major injuries is their MO.

Nah Barron is an outside corner (he can play nickel and safety but his best tape was this year on the boundary). And if you exclude Hunter he is the best corner in the draft. I'd bet good money on him being a better pro than the Michigan kid. Agree, that is pretty much how I see him too. If they are taking a chance with one of their 2nds I am fine with that. But he is a reach at 30 IMO. I don't think he will end up in the first round.

Pretty similar. He played 86% last Sunday. His highest ever playoff snap count. His highest in a Superbowl was 81% two years ago. Other Bills meetings: 74, 78, 78.

And it shows. Average age of DCs in the league is significantly older than OCs these days. I did the numbers in another thread somewhere the other day. Think it was 14 or 15 current OCs are 40 or younger.

I like him and he is definitely an upgrade on what we have at free safety but I am not sure he is their type. 5'10 and sub 30 inch arms If he gets that it's probably a bit rich for us. I'd go to $15-16m AAV though. I don't want Douglas back even if he is playing for free.

Yea I have Holland as my #1 FA target. And Stokes and Fulton both make sense although after the year he had with the Chargers not sure Fulton will be buy low. He took a 1 year prove it last year, played really well, I expect him to get a decent deal. Nope, he is a boundary corner. Despite being a shorter guy he has long arms and huge hands. Like freakish size on a guy that short. His arms are an inch longer than Kaiir Elam who is 3 inches taller.

But was a bad Head Coach for the most part because he lacked attention to detail on the finer points of managing a team.

Yea he was always super high risk. Primarily the off field but also the lack of a developed route tree. There is no way he was on the Bills board IMO.

I actually expect them to. Whether it is a Reed or a Davis or maybe someone more like a Paulson Adebo or a Byron Murphy I'm not sure. But I'd be surprised if they go into the draft with their outside corners as just Benford and Elam. If they do they are forced to use a 1st or 2nd round pick on one and last time that was the case they reached on Elam.

Jones never played 85%. This year at 83% was the highest of his career. Most years he has been high 60s to mid 70s.

Who is playing Quarterback? Nick Foles?

The NFL of 1992 has zero relevance to today.

Oliver did miss basically two and a half games. One injured (think v Texans?), week 18, and almost all the 2nd half of week 17 when they sat him early. That is why his snap % went down. I disagree on both being over 85%. You have to keep Dlinemen fresh.

I will do the numbers for this year at some point but last year the Bills were smack bang in the middle for season long (regular and post season) DL rotation rates among playoff teams.

I get that and I understand your perspective, I do think Higgins might the best upgrade available at boundary receiver this offseason. But I also think long term in this league it is separation that wins.
