LEBills

Back in April of 2009 when the first round of the draft still started midday on a Saturday, I was studying abroad in Australia. After a drunken night out in Sydney, I took the wrong (and last) bus and wound up out in the sticks. My buddy and I hitchhiked back to our apartment because I needed to be back by like 6 am local time for about when we were supposed to pick. We got back with a little time to spare, I found some bootleg stream and watched us draft Aaron Maybin 😞

This would be great, Harris is a great all around back. When it got down to it, we couldn’t run the ball when we needed to last year and Harris’s physicality can help with that. He is also a step up over what we had last year in the passing game. If we want to upgrade our offense, a running back like Harris is probably where we have the most room for improvement. Buuut, don’t really think he will be there at 30 and I’d be surprised if Beane traded up in the first round for a running back

The reason I didn’t say hunter was because even though his sack production wasn’t there he started for most of two years. Oweh’s biggest concern is just that he is raw and would be getting by mostly on his athleticism. Ziggy Ansah was a really good player and I think most people would be happy with that level of player at 30. If Beane and McDermott draft him I will be excited and hope they can develop him well. But he has a long road ahead of him. His athleticism does give him a chance though.

He is a great athlete (amazing really), and the type of numbers he put up translate well into someone who will produce well in the NFL. But I don’t think you are getting someone who can be a great Joey Bosa type of DE. I think you are getting someone with maybe a Ziggy Ansah type of profile, very athletic and very raw but who had some pretty good - though short - success. I think I’d prefer other areas at 30 and go with some other DE later in the draft.

Such a fun press conference. They asked McKenzie if calling Milano his favorite player was an inside joke and McKenzie was like nah and listed all the amazing plays he watched Milano make. He also said that he is gonna meet up with our new punter next week, remind him about week 17 and get to work on the punt returns. He is gunning for that job. here is the press conference if people want it

Owusu is a good player, a really good player. But with Milano re-signed and Edmunds likely going that way too there is no way the Bills are going to trade up for him. Likely we will stay put or trade back and grab a DL or CB2. Maybe a TE or RB.

Very good draft, really like Darden and Jefferson as late round skill position players.

His last pass as a Buffalo Bill was a 56 yard touchdown to Gabe Davis to finish the Fish beatdown week 17. Not too shabby, Matt. Thanks for helping Josh the last few years. Good luck in the future.

This is a really nice move. Upgrade over Barkley and could develop some value as a trade asset or as a comp pick later down the road for some desperate QB teams

Apparently he has lost a few fractions of an inch since high school then: This is pretty insane

Not who I was hoping for but he was actually pretty good with New Orleans last year. Including getting deep completions. And that’s with Brees really struggling to get the ball downfield.

Sounds like the ole cash to the cap Bills...having one of the less rich owners in the league and years of low revenue from their old stadium maybe?

Probably nothing, but I hope it Watson to the Raiders. Let Mahomes, Watson and Herbert beat each other up 6 times a year. Oh and Drew Lock lol

Overall, Bojo. From people not on our team last year, Trai Turner

Overrated, lots of injuries, has already torn his ACL twice in 2014 and 2018.

Our AFCCG team is back! Excited to see what this upcoming week and the draft do to add onto our bid to take that next step towards the Super Bowl.

I’d be pretty happy getting Humphries in Rd 2 for IOL. Guy was like a boulder at the senior bowl though those testing numbers are a bit surprising compared to seeing him play (good athlete, didn’t think great). But I think Quinn Meinerz from Wisconsin White Water and David Moore out of Grambling State are the two best IOL values in the draft, even with Meinerz probably being a second round pick anymore. Both of them have that attitude you want out of a lineman as well.

Getting a team like the Bucs would be great, not always possible. In the end, adding a WR in free agency isn’t going to kill us. What we have to do is hit on a good chunk of the players we decide to draft like the Bucs did with white, David, Davis, Godwin, Evans, etc etc etc. However, the year before the Chiefs won a super bowl over a well rounded team with crazy skill possession players and a few impact defensive players like Matthieu, Clark and Jones. So I guess what I’m trying to say is there is a lot of ways to win a Super Bowl but I think our best chance is through Joshs right arm and an upgrade of our offense (OL, WR, RB) and so I want to focus on building that and I think Samuel would check off the WR box.

Even with all that success Brady still left for a team with great receivers. Get your QB as much help as you can each year. On the other hand no way Aaron Rodgers should have only been to just one Super Bowl.

For me, we know Josh is our future. Don’t mess around like some other franchises have done with their great QBs by not surrounding them with the best offense that they could have possibly fielded (NE, GB, HOU). Curtis Samuel is a unique player that gives your offense both a lateral and vertical threat. 12 mil may seem like a lot but the salary cap will likely rebound in a year or two anyway before Joshs big extension kicks in. Get Samuel, resign D Williams, draft a couple guards and centers and Kenneth Gainwell and let Josh do the rest.

He is talented, too many concussions. There are some talented smaller school pash rushers later in the draft (can sample, Emerson Smith, Tarron Jackson) that is where I think we will go for it. If we are gonna get better at pass rush it is probably coming through FA this year, IMO.

Man, I remember when his brother Obi blew up the combine, was drafted by the raiders in the second round and promptly was a bust. He may be a better player but probably can get a better player at 30. Though I do think we will draft a few CBs this year.

I guess Andrew Luck isn’t unretiring? Colts are gonna be a tough team this year

Yea I lived in the Philadelphia area back in 2017, Wentz was pretty darn good that year. He has really struggled the last few years but the team around him was a mess. I don’t think he is all world but I still think he is a pretty good quarterback and an upgrade from Rivers if he went to Indy. if the bears trade for him it’s just more of the same dysfunction and he will probably continue to struggle.

Brown, Jefferson and Butler will likely be gone. A lot of money to free up for a more premier signing and with production you can get back with cheaper free agents/draft picks. Lee Smith should be gone too but we will see. I think Jerry and Micah will be here another year, they are team leaders and not great but ok players.
