HIT BY SPIKES

Can you get those split jerseys with half a Bills and half a Bears jersey? Those are kool!!!

So THE problem was how we used Edmunds? I watch each Bills game 3 times -- once while drinking heavily watching the game live and then twice completely sober (or almost) during the following week. I wanted to like Edmunds. What is there NOT to like? Popular with his teammates. The interesting back story with his two NFL playing bros. A tremendous physical asset. A first round Buffalo Bills draft pick that we traded up for. Crap!!! I even like his fake dreadlocks. Unfortunately, my lying eyes would not lie to me when it came to Edmunds football instincts. He would simply guess where the ball carrier was going and more often then not he was wrong. Then when he did zoom in on ball carrier he was easily nullified in the wash. Could not shed a block if it was a 25 lb block of cheddar. $18M? LOL!!! Thank you Chicago. You're my kinda town.

Is the Edmunds Fan Club going with the matching bandanas again this year or neon wrist bands?

You are welcome. I hope the Bears schedule does not conflict with the Bills so you can continue to watch his play in Chicago in real time.

If Edmunds had simply flipped a coin every time he saw a runner coming, he would have had 25% more tackles.

If Bates starts over Torrence come Opening Day, I will lose my mind.

I pray this is our reality since it would do so much for our offence.

OL has never been a priority to Beane and it has cost our running game (other than Josh) dearly. Some want to blame the Offensive Coordinator for our running game however what is the OC to do when our RBs are met in our backfield too often because our OL simply gets no push to open up running lanes? Then there is the issue of protecting our 1/4 Billion Dollar investment at QB. As effective as Josh has been, could you imagine if he had an above average OL in front of him to give him another 1/2 a second to scan the field or be able to hand the ball off with confidence such that the D has to drop into the box to stop an effective running game?

Would be costly to trade for an above average NFL RT although I agree 100% on the need for one. What do we have as trade assets other than future draft picks? Beane has his strengths however OL personnel evaluation is not one of them. Trading Teller away is just one example. The contract he gave Bates last year seems to indicate that Beane believes Bates is a starting calibre NFL OL when clearly Bates is nothing more than a useful versatile 6th OL. I fear Beane has not planned properly for Morse’s eventual departure. I appreciate Beane drafting an OL in the 2nd round of this past draft, however Beane has placed too little emphasis on using the resources required to build an above average NFL OL to put in in front of an elite NFL QB.

To me, the biggest problem area on the Bills remains the OL. RT is a question mark with Spencer Brown's injury and overall development. We filled one of the 2 OG positions with a relatively high draft pick however the other OG position is still not set. Morse is on his last legs. Bates is not a starting calibre NFL OL however he has the position flexibility to come off the bench. I appreciate Dion Dawkins is liked by most Bills fans however, he is nothing more than an average NFL LT.

Why? Great Body. Very Athletic. Well liked in the locker room. The football instincts of a Pop Warner player. NO way was he worth (to the Bills) the $18M/yr the Bears paid him. What the Bills will miss is NOT preparing in advance for his eventual departure.

It was worth a shot given his size however perhaps it is time to move on by drafting a LT in the first two rounds next year who can start immediately as a RT and move over to LT when it is time for Dion to move on.

W-O-W!!! 25 years. In a previous life, I would have here during the first couple of years. Who was the man back then? Lord of the Gun?

Alabama's 1DT Jordan Davis Wake Forest's G/C Zak Tom

The Bills will trade up by trading their 1st round and 3rd round picks and then draft Alabama's 1DT Jordan Davis.

Very well said however drafting OL is simply not sexy enough for the average Bills fan. Any fat guy will do for the OL. You can find them at Duff's Anchor Bar or even Gabriel's Gate.

So tired of this fan crap. A WR in the first round and a RB in the second. I am out children. Ask mom to tuck you in.

No dreadlocks here. This is me...

The LA Chargers are going to move back to San Diego in protest over this draft.

The LA Chargers are still willing to trade their entire 2022 remaining draft picks for a 2nd runs pick.

I NEVER envisioned the Bills trading down rather than up however with NOT one OL listed among the 15 poll options -- WTF? -- I agree with a trade down.

Idiots

In the real draft they won't.

CRAP!!! 1 hour and 45 minutes in the dentist chaIr on a back molar and now I can't make my Chargers pick. Oh well. I would have taken a 1st and a 2nd and traded back a 4th if necessary to trade down. The Chargers are a solid team with very few needs. Chargers want two rookie OL out of the first 3 rounds and don't have a 2nd round pick. They want to protect their young Franchise QB investment by giving him a rock solid OL. An OL that not only protects the QB and gives him the time to pass however also forces its will to run the ball when the team needs to run the ball late in the game. The Bills look for their OL at the Anchor Bar, Duff's or my personal favourite Gabriels's Gate. A trade down would do that for the Chargers. I like Cross for the Chargers. I don't like him for the Bills. The Bills need OGs and not OTs right now. So unless one of the managers is willing to accept this offer, the Chargers are done until the 3rd round... THE CHARGERS ARE WILLING TO TRADE THEIR 3RD, 4TH, 5TH AND 6TH ROUND PICKS FOR ANY 2ND ROUND PICK IN THIS YEAR'S DRAFT
