    For a 1st round CB you want someone that can contest catches against the Mike Evans of the world 1-on-1, or defend against a goal line fade. If you put McDuffie in the slot he might be elite. I wouldn't take a slot CB in the 1st round and McDermott won't use him outside. Whether you care about arm length or not it's something this regime values. Look at the CBs we've added and started. McDuffie is not even in the conversation.

     

    Joe Marino pointed out there hasn't been an all-pro CB with under 30" arms in over 10 years, and only 3 under 32" in the same time frame. It matters.


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

    I really want Dotson. His hands are unbelievable. Runs good routes. Has good speed. He honestly reminds me of Diggs.


    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. 

  3. 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 would remove the RBs…it is not a consideration at 25.  I would add Daxton Hill. 


    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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    Unpopular opinion - Equity is racism.

     

      I support minority candidates getting more coaching positions but I don't like the idea of mandating such things as it could create an eventual artificial disparity amongst coaching staff in the league.   I don't know the numbers here but what if only 5% of the potential applicants seeking coaching positions are minority in some instances?  What if a team has no minority candidates currently seeking a position within their organization?   In a few years we're could be looking at a situation where minority coaches are 40-50% of all coaching staff when maybe 10-15% of individuals seeking coaching positions are minority.   I think its a better representation of the league and society in general to have the number of minority coaches actually representative of the percentage who are seeking position vs. a forced arbitrary number.  if 60% of of applicants are minority then it makes much more sense for the coaching staff makeup to also be around 60%

     

    okay, flame away


    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.

    And the D wasn’t good enough to hold a lead for 13 seconds.


    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.

    Says who?  Disaster awaits if you start Dane and a rookie who isn’t ready for the NFL.  Everyone will be complaining that they “could not even get one stop to win the game”.


    Beyond Safety if White is missing, the CB spot, as currently manned, is by far the worst position on the team- and it is a premium position.

     

    Disagree - does not mean I am right or that you are wrong.


    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.

    I really want to hear the overall plan for those who dont want a corner at 25

     

    I know ppl like their shiny new toys but this is not about that.....we have a 17 game schedule and NO starting corner at the moment


    From where we are drafting the second and third round is where the value will be for corner IMO. Though us fans see CB2 as a big need, I think the Bills are comfortable with Dane Jackson holding a position at least temporarily. 
     

    We may go CB in round 1 but I would say WR has just as good odds with RB and OL with slightly lesser odds.

  13. Mack has been very good. Miller is one of the best ever.

     

    He is a better player than Mack and we didn’t have to give up any picks. No brainer.

     

    Add to it he has won two Super Bowls, is tied for the record in Super Bowl sacks recorded, played 2 seasons vs Patrick Mahomes and is now the farming leader of our defense (Josh being the leader/farmer of our offense). 
     

    Von was the best case scenario and Bean pulled it off. Let’s go Bills!

  14. After the Chiefs lost to the Pats, they signed Tyran Matthew and Traded for Frank Clark. 

     

    We need to go all in like they did. Adding a real DE threat - rather than just another cog in the rotation - would help a lot. 
     

    Then they need to do whatever they can to add another real playmaker on offense.  Gabe was great, but they shut down Diggs again. And Knox was invisible. Mahomes had a much easier go of it against our defense with Hill and Kelce being 2 of the top 3 receivers between the two teams.

     

    Get a DE that teams have to game plan against, get another real wide receiver, spend the rest of your assets this offseason on the OLine to keep Josh upright. If they do that, we already have the best player in football.
