I am not confident that is the case. It might have been a good run with Donahoe if the Bills traded up and drafted Rotho something. It would have changed the trajectory with the butterfly effect. Donahoe had some good qualities. Ralph Wilson would have trusted him more if we had Roethlisberger and had more success. In all reality, if we drafted Roethlisberger the last 20 years would be totally different.

Denney and Reed were JAGs. Wire was a useful late round pick. Which Williams? Was that Mike Williams at #4?

Totally agree and especially with a year of rehab as well. However, RB was more valued then, but, I still don't get it and still don't like it.

Agreed, but, that is a lot of options and leverage of safeties. But, no clear path. I like all the hedging and options. But, not sure on anything. Poyer and Hyde are awesome! But, getting old and have concerns. Rapp is possibly a good fill in. Hamlin May or may not play again and is not a complete safety, but, a good back up. Andersen and Mayden….meh on meh JMO

Championship!

Oliver would need to exit to take on Hopkins. Maybe the Bills draft a 1 technique on Day 2 of the draft and then can trade Oliver to free up the cap space. It is more like Madden and probably not happening at all, but.............go Bills! Haha, very funny because it is very true!

Nice, thanks

We could use a safety. Will Cory Trice make it to the 4th or 5th round?

My participation in this thread is this. No more comments other than Brady is a wussy who points the fingers, not the thumbs guy. Top 10 QB ever. Takes the praise, gives the blame. Goodell and America wanted the success and drove it. It is like Barry Bonds, you would have possibly and probably have been the best ever without steroids. Why did you do it, ego! Brady could have been the best ever, why cheat over and over again and scream at people for calling you out. Lance Armstrong anyone?! Brady is a clown, who could have been GOAT, but, I don't consider him in the conversation since there are too many asterisks, like Bonds and Armstrong. I wish Brady nothing good.

Interesting point. I think a trade up would need to be with 2024 pick(s).

Trading up for Reggie Ragland was extremely disappointing. F Rex Ryan!

Sorry, could not resist.... Nobody really knows how players will turn out. Read the pre-draft analysis on just about anybody and you might think he's gonna be great. I'll wait on Bernard. When he got on the field, it was due to injury and he wasn't ready. They chose him to develop over time, and it's time now to see him develop. Maybe he'll put on 15 pounds and get taller and become a beast. Biggest surprise for me was probably Whitner. I freaked out. I remember thinking they had the USC QB in their hands, and they surely could've traded down. Nobody really knows how players will turn out.

100% agree! I was doing quite a bit of Draft research those years. My friend and I who also is a huge Bills fan and was doing research at the time......we thought "you gotta Ngata" and then he was there when we picked. Whitner's name was called, we looked at each other and said who? Safety never seemed like a round 1 pick to us, so, we never looked at Safeties. And, we had ZERO idea who he was and got onto the Google machine immediately. This was probably my 2nd WTF after Whitner. This is probably 3rd on my list after Whitner, then TJ Graham. Actually, will move it up on my list since it is a top of the 1st round pick. Whitner Maybin Graham

Agreed AND less 3 and outs. I didn’t say anything about yards. I said move the ball more consistently.

Agreed with all that AND the offense needs to move the ball more consistently. Totally agree with all of that, well said!

Seriously, I think I am too. Not sure what I want. But, know I want offense in an offense driven league. I’m on board with that too

- new DC - JA17 with no elbow problems and humming along - Dorsey 2nd year - improved OLine - more Avon Miller - Micah Hyde and Poyer healthier - better situational coaching in big games too please All these little things will help. Hopefully a lot!

Bills resigned him before free agency or just as it started.

A good fit for Shaq Lawson and a good fit for the Bills, win, win.

Hmmmm

He should hire Lamar Jackson as his agent! Heck, back up Lamar and they both can’t get a job this year!

Maybe undrafted TE?

Gunner...interesting take! I a big fan of almost all of your opinions. I never thought on Daquan this way and you are intriguing me. Good call. Worst case, not much down side to not extended Daquan. Worst case we pay slightly more than we would now, but, could save money next year as well. Funny, but, possibly true

I LOVE extended Daquan. I would think he wants a big pay day or we would have done it. OR they agreed on it and are close and waiting for the right time to finalize it. Jordan Phillips is good when healthy and think he can be healthier than in the past. He is a playmaker and disruptive on the field. I am confident his pay is based on performance and/or playing time. I agree I would prefer to pay Shaq over JP. I like them both and want them both on the team though. I am fine restructuring Dion if we need the money. Not comfortable with Tre and was not comfortable with Diggs either. Go Bills!

Thanks for the update and I agree with you on what he can bring to the team and agree on wanting to bring Shaq back as well.
