We need to do better than Brown. Let him be a back up swing tackle and develop a bit, he was expected to be a bit of a project coming out of the draft. Maybe if he gets some time to work on his play he can carve out a starting spot in the future. I would draft Darnell Wright OT Tennessee in the first. He is ready right now to play RT. Didn’t allow a sack this year while going up against some of the pas rushers in the country such as Will Anderson. Did well at the senior bowl as well. He isn’t talked about as a first rounder much but I think he winds up as one. Much cheaper than getting a good vet in FA too.

It’s time to move Spencer Brown to be out backup swing tackle. Bring in a real OT Darnell Wright from Tennessee who is going to be an amazing RT for someone. Also would be very happy with Addison if he drops that far but doubt it

I think Tinsley is a bit underrated. Built a lot like Skyy Moore or a Brandon Aiyuk (long arms and big hands for his size). Especially if you go back to his WKU games with Zappe, he plays much bigger than he is when things are contested and I think is fast enough to be a solid WR in the NFL. At one point at WKU he got a step on 4.2 40 Tariq Woolen and kept that step over like 30-40 yards to the end zone. Def someone I would target as a Bills fan in the later rounds

For me it means Beane should either trade picks away for proven veterans like the Rams did (or like he did with Diggs) or trade back and acquire more draft picks to take more swings on hitting on a difference maker and because our team is getting very expensive now and we need a lot of cheap labor

There is a good podcast where they touch on it a bit. It would be $14 million cap hit if traded

Zay is actually turning into a decent receiver go figure

I think Addison, Flowers and Quentin Johnson will be gone. Boutte had a rough year this year but that may be because of his injury. He is no choir boy but I think CJ Johnson out of ECU (6’1’’ 225 pound man) is a better player than Treylon Burks was last year. Burks went round one, Johnson right now is barely talked about. Get OL early and then draft a bunch of receivers in the middle and late rounds with the ability to play outside and let them earn a spot imo.

No amount of rings will make him not sound like a frog or walk like a duck, just like how Brady still pees sitting down with 7. On a serious note, the Chiefs were one of the least talented teams in the AFC playoffs this year. Coaching, injury luck and not beating themselves led to a ring. Not overwhelming talent. Very Patriots like, game of attrition many years.

oh god they just compared Mahomes ankle to Jordan’s flu game and Schillings bloody sock Bro knew exactly what he was doing acting like he was dying when his ankle got touched. Lose and that’s the excuse, win and fools will act like they are now

AJ Brown is such a monster, look at all that time Hurts has on every dropback, all day

I really don’t think this makes a big difference lol

Doesn’t make sense for Tremaine to have waited to sign a contract and risk injury. If he resigns it is what it is. Would prefer to put all the resources to the offense. Tremaine has played well just not elite, still only 24 tho it feels like he has been a Bill forever

Yea I’m a die hard Bills fan, I check this board multiple times a day and I felt drained by the end of the season and conflicted about football fandom in general after Hamlin. I can only imagine how the actual players must have felt.

McDermott and Frazier are too scared of letting up the big play. It was painfully obvious in their two playoffs against KC and last week against the Bengals. We have Josh freaking Allen so it is ok to be more aggressive because we usually can score with the best of them. Get Josh an OLine and reduce the cushion and hold on routes more in the playoffs.

Id recommend quoting some of the bigger points you are looking to discuss. From reading through things, this year was certainly a year where cheaper QBs had a lot of success. BUT Burrow and Hurts are due more massive paydays probably this offseason, Mahomes is still cruising, and if you look at the past several years highly paid QBs have done well. For the Bills, Josh’s contract will make constructing a team around him tough for a few years but then his contract will fall below Burrow, Hurts, Lamar, etc and will be a relative bargain again. If you mean Beane’s quotes about the Bengals roster, I do think he was getting a little defensive and probably should have deflected. But I don’t think it is terribly incriminating, it is pretty on the nose as to why they have so much talent on their roster just probably could have been said a little better.

Good team, lucky to be in NFC team

The NFC is terrible, like the top 5 QBs are all on the AFC side so all Jalen Hurts has to do is beat Danny Dimes and one handed Brock Purdy to make the SB. They did the same thing in 2017 beating Matt Ryan and our very own Case Keemun to make the SB. They have had great luck recently.

Honestly, no. In some world there is probably a scenario where Spencer eventually becomes a solid stater for some team. However, he was too big of a liability this year. After the whooping our line took all year, I think a tackle in the first round or ponying up for a proven good starter is likely. That will push Brown to swing tackle where he will play out the next two years and probably move on. Hope the best for him but too important of a position to play around.

The reason is because McDermott is very close to Baylor HC and Bernard was a very good teammate with some talent. Not a good pick imo as you can see from my post history but McDermott takes his connections’ recommendations very seriously. For example, Baylors HC Aranda was the LSU DC when we drafted Tre.

Not sure Aaron is going to want to further mimic Favres career by being traded to the Jets. Though from a roster standpoint there isn’t a ton better options

Yea I just don’t see it. Most of his plays he is getting a free release and then outrunning people. You need more to be a big time receiver in the NFL, like Metcalf is someone you mentioned who is mostly slants and 9s but he is physical enough to punish players that get hands on him trying to disrupt his route. Maybe Hyatt can develop into it but it’s mostly projection at this point. I still think there can be a valuable role for him in an offense but I don’t see a lot that projects to superstar.

WR were pushed up the board a ton last year so he may go rd1. I think that would be a mistake for the Bills. He reminds me of Tyquan Thornton last year who got reached on by the Pats in the beginning of the second round. Lots of speed, limited route tree.

Honestly, last year was the year to draft a WR in the first round. Addison I think has the most potential to develop into a big time player from the potential round 1 guys not named Johnston but he still needs to get thicker and work on his drops more. If only we had drafted Pickens or Watson. Dontayvion Wicks UVA has some good abilities if we went someone later round to run clear outs and develop for a few years. Shakir I think will be a good slot guy for us starting next year so don’t think we will go for a slot type. This is probably the year to add an OT in the first. Steen from Bama, Johnson from OSU, and Duncan from Maryland would all be nice additions at that point. Hyatt would be a nice addition in rd2 for WR.

Zay Flowers is 5’10’’ not 6’2’’

Yes, if I remember right I started on that board in 06 and was on regularly until it shut down. Once I realized it was gone and not just something wrong with my computer I found here and am so thankful for TBD.
