LEBills

MSUs line was not that good and Walker had a heisman quality year this year. We should add OLine in the draft, but especially Guards can be had later on. Gotta expect Kromer, Saffold and more experience for Brown gives the line more effectiveness too.

Kevin Harris is awesome

In the real draft, Tyler Smith will be long gone. Though he would be a great pick. I think Kenneth Walker will be there though and that’s who I voted for. Us fans have been clamoring for an explosive back and he is it. He had 90+ long TD runs while he was at both MSU and Wake. We don’t know what kind of pass catcher he is bc he wasn’t used that way (neither was Motor in college). Willing blocker but needs a lot of help being more consistent in that area.

I do think having the 4 picks on day 2 is the way to fill our biggest remaining needs. WR, CB, RB and OL. I like the idea a lot. But would the rebuilding Falcons want to move up? Maybe if Kenny Pickett is still there at 25?

Has similarities to a former Panthers Beane-era first round draft pick, Shaq Thompson. I don’t think there is any way he makes it this long in the real draft. And despite our need at CB and WR, would not be surprised if the Bills are interested in him as early as our first pick. They were tied to another small school linebacker Kyle Dugger before the Pats scooped him early second. And Troy Anderson is a much better prospect.

There is a lot going against him because he is just sooo small - and due to that he is likely to be undrafted, which would really make him a sleeper. But I’m going to go with Deven Thompkins at Utah State. Not only is he fast but he is physical and routinely won jump balls against single and double teams at like 5’7’’ and 155 pounds. On top of that he is a pretty awesome person off the field and high energy on the field. He may be too small to make it in the league, but he has some of that Steve Smith little dude energy. Not as big but faster.

This is a huge part of it. Underthrown or not thrown at all when he was open. Watching Pierce made me realize Ridder should be a day 3 pick.

With the 36th pick in the 2022 TSW Draft, the New York Giants select, Arnold Ebiketie, Edge, Penn State. The Houston Texans and @manncare now on the clock. The Giants are in desperate need of Edge production (one of many positional needs). We like Ebiketie’s explosion and length and that he has had major production at two schools, Temple and PSU. Though we thought about going with an off ball linebacker as their were several good ones on the board, we felt that a player with all the traits to get around the Edge was the right value at the start of the second round.

We wound up with all three on our team at different points in their careers too

Agreed, his secondary teammate Kyler Gordon seems like a more likely Bills pick than McDuffie but who knows, the Bills always surprise me

I like Dotson as well but he is pretty small. Michigan really beat him up in their game and he got thrown off his routes frequently. Though to his credit he still had a productive day as he is a tough son of a gun. Probably will need to be schemed a free release at least at the beginning of his career so likely more of a slot guy. Though when he got free he is crafty, good routes and great hands.

If you slapped a USC jersey on Khalil Shakir, people would call him Robert Woods. Pierce was held back by Ridder all year and was getting wide open vs Alabama without getting the ball. Christian Watson is a first round pick this year, would love him on the Bills.

I thought about Daxton too I don’t think they will use a first round pick on a backup safety/big nickel player this year. I think 25 is too early for a RB too but think it is a remote possibility based on our roster holes.

So if I’ve got this right, the best available seem to be: DB trent mcduffie Washington Kyler Gordon Washington IOL Zion Johnson Boston College WR Jahan Dotson PSU Christian Watson NDSU Skyy Moore WMU RB Breece Hall Iowa State Kenneth Walker III MSU

Yea I agree with him that it is sickening that taxpayer money is going to this, but it is the cost of doing business. If the Bills were to leave due to a lack of stadium, we would never get them back (or if we did it would cost more money to relocate them back) and the deal seems to repay itself over time better than I was expecting (based on the info the study info that was in the Bnews article if I interpreted it right). Overall, I wish the $800 million could have been allocated to other things and Kim and Terry pay their own way. But, I am glad that the taxes are at least going towards something all of Buffalo can enjoy for the next 30 years.

With the 7th pick of the 2022 TSW Draft, the New York Giants select Derek Stingley, CB, Louisiana State University The Atlanta Falcons and @Alphadawg7are now on the clock. After fortifying our offensive line, it is time to get after the quarterback. Their were a few defensive ends we considered but Wink Martindale loves putting his CBs on an island to get after the quarterback. We are concerned about Stingleys durability, but feel that with the right training staff we can bring out the best in him. A bit boom or bust but feel good about our odds.

With the 5th pick of the 2022 TSW Draft, the New York Giants select Evan Neal, Offensive Tackle, University of Alabama. The Carolina Panthers and @BigdaddyinOrlando are now on the clock. Schoen and Dabs have made it a point to upgrade the OL this offseason. Dabs turns to his former college team to secure a premiere pass blocker as Daniel Jones gets one more year.

no trades in version 1

In a league where 70% of players would be considered minority, the coaching ranks don’t match that. Especially on the offensive side of the ball where most NFL Head Coaching jobs are coming from nowadays. If anything this is trying to fix an artificial disparity between coaching and players that already exists. As far as whether minority people want to apply for a job, I’m sure teams can find one of thousands of retired players who would be willing to take a job in a coaching staff. Whether this works is one thing, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea to try this.

GMen, Raiders, Dolphins 👍

I’ll take the G-Men, let’s go!

I will actually be surprised if we don’t wind up with Josh Williams at CB, he seems like such a McDermott special. Small school guy with tools to coach up like Josh Norman, Bradbury, Taron and Neal.

Yea I tend to see it as Dane Jackson and Levi Wallace were good enough to put us in position to win against a high power Chiefs offense. And as Whorlnut pointed out, I don’t think the 13 seconds was an inditement of our corners as much as our situational coaching. But, who knows at this point, CB is very likely in the first round. But I don’t think our current CB roster makes it a necessity.

The way this guy runs is mesmerizing, such short choppy steps. He is no more than a day 3 pick tho.

you realize we played several weeks including the playoffs last year with Dane Jackson and a player we didn’t feel was worth $4 million/ year starting right? Poyer and Hyde help a lot in making things easier for cornerbacks in our system.
