    Great pick for the Cowboys. Exactly what they need.

     

    As for the Bills’ pick: with Sauce, Stingley, and Booth off the board, I predict a landslide vote for WR Chris Olave. Sure, CB Trent McDuffie could be the pick, but it feels like Olave’s gonna take this one. Just my guess.

    FYI, Olave went at 18.

    With the 17th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the LA Chargers select Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa.

     

    Protecting the franchise QB is priority #1, and Penning will immediately replace Storm Norton who ranked near last in pass-pro last year.  Slater and Penning provide bookend protection for Herbert as the Chargers chase the Chiefs and Mr Lombardi.

     

    @H2o and the N'Orleans Saints are now on the clock...

    Gunner's 2022 Mock Draft (v3 and FINAL - p.17!!)

    I absolutely think that the fact that two of Beane's draft picks got poached off the practice squad last year burns him up. He loves his draft picks, and for two of them -- at the very positions at which the Bills are currently deficient -- to get taken away surely pisses him off.

    With this fresh in mind, I do not expect him to draft 8 players. I expect him to move around the draft and select 5 or 6.

    Yeah, Anderson seemed like a good IOL prospect.  Who was the other?

    To all those saying the Bills need a corner, I 100% agree. But McDuffie and McCreary with their alligator arms are reaches and questionable fits for a zone scheme. While I think Kyler Gordon is a back half of round 1 talent the consensus seems to disagree. 

     

    So what do the Bills do if the top 3 corners are off the board by #25? Trade up to get one? Trade back to take one of the second tier guys where value fits better? Possibly. Brandon Beane says he is strict BPA. If that is true I very much doubt a corner ends up being that at #25 or #57. 

     

    I think a corner is a major need and indeed that is the position I ultimately think the Bills end up taking in the 1st. But to do so either they reach or they move around the board. 

    This could be a year where Beane does a lot of wheeling and dealing to move around and match their few needs with value? 

    Current Bills salary cap situation - 4/8/2022 12:50 PM $200.1MM - taken for “Top 51” - Sportrac current estimate is that Bills are over by $2.8MM for all - Link to Sportrac in 1st post

    So WOW.  Barkley did get a VSB contract, but for only a $25k bonus and $100k guaranteed of his salary.  Total compensation to Barkley $1.145M, total cap charge to the Bills $0.920M

     

    I am looking at this and Shaq Lawson's contract (also a VSB deal) and going WHAT DID I JUST READ?

     

    We had $2.56M in cap, we just signed two vets, now we have $2.3M cap

     

    SMDH

     

    Wonder what the Bares offered Bates.  

    If Bates leaves, I wonder if they'll focus their (currently) available cap $$ on signing a vet CB?  They'd have $3.5-4 mil...?

    Josh Allen’s bad two years

    If you go make a list right now of Josh Allen's best and most exciting performances, there would be at least one, maybe two, from his rookie year. That Vikings game is definitely up there, and the week 17 Dolphins game was great too. He scored 5 TD's that game.

     

    And that was the down year for the Bills where they were trying to reset the cap, so the team was devoid of talent.

     

    Then in Allen's 2nd season he helped take the team back to the playoffs and there has been a steady climb every year.

     

    I agree. It is a lazy narrative that analysts use to save their ego (because they need to justify bashing him) and/or just plain ignorance from only looking at box scores and stats.

     

    Josh Allen has shown flashes of his elite play every single year, and you could argue in every single game, he has ever played in. And he has had a steady, upward trajectory his entire career. He took a big step in 2020 for sure, but he certainly did not come out of nowhere.

     

    I would argue he also took a big step forward at the end of 2021, particularly in the playoffs. He became unstoppable.

    I was at the Jacksonville game that year, and at one point said to my buddy, “looks like we have a franchise QB”.  Point is, that game belongs on your list.

    The way I read it, Bradberry wants to join the Bills and will take far less to do it.

    This currently is speculation that the Giants will release him--he is not an UFA.  The Gints are currently $343,000 under the cap, and they would save $10 mil by releasing him, but would also get hit with $11 mil in dead cap.  Seems to me they would try to restructure some guys instead of releasing him.

    I really enjoyed all of the pressers today. Guys seem genuinely excited to be here and truly believe the team will win a Super Bowl(s).

     

    They also all spoke glowingly of Josh, how great is that?

     

    Lastly, it’s truly amazing how quickly the phrase “Bills Mafia” has taken hold in the national lexicon and what a positive connotation it has with players all across the league. Del Reid and company truly hit a home run with that one.

    Yeah, I was thinking about this yesterday given some of the comments some of the players made.  There is a mystique about Bills fans that has filtered out across the league and it's a catchy phrase.

    Since we appear to be "All-In", is there anyone in this draft worth trading up for?

    I could see the Bills moving back and loading up picks rounds 2-5.  That’s where the depth of this draft is.  And contracts will be much smaller than first rounders.  
    Bills add CB, WR, RB, IOL, P

    I'm leaning toward this as well.  Obviously, if someone who they have an R1 grade on slips, they take him; otherwise a move back might be wise.

    Bills sign OJ Howard to 1-year deal

    As long as Knox can stay healthy, this is all upside in my eyes!

     

    He's not being asked to be the #1 guy, he's not being paid a ton, and he's got 1 year to earn a new contract. So even if his track record suggests he's likely to get injured again, the Bills will get his best for at least some time. 

     

    Knox will still be here, Diggs will still be here, Davis will still be here, etc. & if OJ's around for the playoffs, it's just one more redzone threat.

    And Beasely is still here, for now.... Need a few more moves to reduce the cap.

    Levi Wallace gone to the Steelers on 2-year deal

    Obviously they had no intention of keeping him unless it was for league minimum. How they let him walk for that contract is confusing. They really must of insulted him during negotiations if they made an offer at all. I wasn't his biggest supporter but would have gladly paid that for a scheme familiar team player.

     

    Good luck Levi. 

    I think it stems from last year's contract.  They let him test the market, then signed him for $1.5ish mil.  He made a comment toward the end of last season that made me think he felt disrespected; so unless the Bills were going to pony up some serious money, I think he definitely planned to move on.
