The best that I can tell, 91,93,96,97, 98, and 99 were taken last year. So based on that 92 looks good to me. Not sure if that has historical significances.

That will play well with the Bills mafia. Nice.

I am a bit concerned about Metcalf. He does not run routes well, he drops a lot of passes. He seems to be a one trick pony. It would be nice to have a deep threat, but we have more pressing needs along the oline.

AB would love that characterization.

Well done! Thank you.

It is about time!

Most likely because he had his college success against Mountain West competition. Let's let him prove he can play in the NFL before we name him Allen's go to receiver.

I know this has been said over and over, but BPA! I am hoping we go with either O-line or D-line dominating stud. The only exception is if Josh Allen falls to 9.

BPA is how perennial winners usually build their team. Too often teams stretch to fill a need and wind up picking a lessor talent too early in the draft. If there are three players that are close in their ranking, then the player that fills a need would be a wise selection. BPA is an approach that has a history of success. But that does not mean the management that uses BPA puts blinders on and makes their selection based strictly on their draft board without any other strategy.

DK in the second round but not with our #9 pick.

Sad but a real possibility.

I only know what we all have read. But through many decades of watching the NFL, it takes a newly assembled line time to mesh. Don't be surprised if we our oline has a few underwhelming games to start the season. We should see improvement as the season progressives.

I enjoy reading the responses to this thread. I realize the Bill's Mafia (I am a life long member) have suffered unspeakable emotional abuse as a fan, but why be so apprehensive when it comes to showing some love for Beane? The Beane regime just has a different feel than the previous Bills has since 2000. He actually seems to have an effective strategy to build a consistent winner in Buffalo. Besides a heart crushing beat down, what do we have to lose to go all in on Beane? Be bold. Throw caution aside. Embrace the Beane. He is the man and he will lead us to glory. Lifetime contract for Beane!!! Go Bills!!!

Since the d-line was not addressed in free agency, I agree with you that Ed Oliver makes a lot of sense. I really like the Best Player Available strategy. With all things equal, wr, rb, ilb, and ol can be addressed in subsequent rounds.

I agree. I also find it interesting that Emmitt Smith isn't getting a lot of mention. He benefited from playing behind a superb oline for his entire career.

I am from your era. I am surprised gale Sayers had not been mentioned. He had a short career, but he and berry Sanders had very similar styles. I am not saying he was the best. But he could be in the top 7.

It just seems like we should go bpa at 9. I doubt DK would be that guy at 9. Trust the process. Fantastic analysis!

YES PLEASE PLEASE!!!

Then why sign him. We seem to be set at back up qb. This appears to be a post that is designed to be so outlandish that it solicits reactions. Talk show hosts do it all the time. It works.

Given what you said about Josh Allen, Using the same evaluation with blinders on, what did Rosen do in 2018 to make you think he will be any better or as good as Allen? Also, you see no value in committing to Allen and give him as many reps with the #1's as possible? With your rationale, why not sign Manziel? Let's draft another qb in this years draft? Let's save the qb collecting strategy to Gruden.

I would say a stud offensive guard or tackle or defensive line.

I live in Las Vegas. All most every time I wear Bills gear, I have someone make a comment (positive) about the bills. Even in their worst days, I wore my bills gear. You gotta support the team. Never have I been embarrassed to show my Bills pride. If someone gives me their condolences I may make a joke, But is usually come back with a positive comment. Go Bills! Very Disappointing.

Based on what? McD took a team that was a mess to the playoffs, and won 6 games from a team experts expected to win 2-3 games tops in 2018.

The high jump vs the Vikings was amazing. I am so pumped up about our future wish Josh. I am in the minority, but I love to see Josh run the ball. It is part of his game. He just has to learn to avoid the big hits. Bring on the 2019 season! Go Bills!!!

Rams 34 Pats 31. I also predict that at the end of the I will still hate the Patriots.
