The other thing is there were is the upward mobility? He wont get a DC job in the NFL because everyone knows it is McD and Fraiser, and that also limits the internal DC move as well because Fraiser wont go anywhere. So likely lets get back with a Friend, recruit well (easier now with NFL Ties), and get the DC job in VT, probably the faster upward mobility for him going this route

Going back to coach with a friend Fuente. And likely wants out of the NFL Grind. Coaching College much easier Also likely saw no upward mobility in Buffalo with Fraiser and McD as DC

Might need to be a 4th as I refine my grades but right now my early grades have him at 161 overall. That could be my downgrading the position Bias as well.

Going back to coach with a friend Fuente Friends with the HC

I guess I could go that way, it just goes against every fiber of my being to buy a RB. We do that and Henry is the RB1 and takes 80-90% of the carries. And to clarify I am not using our 3rd, I would use 150 (or one of our 5ths) that puts us in the of Najee or Moss by my current gradings

Sure let MIA take him he is fragile. NO Bills should NOT take him

Want a Vet - AJ Klein

No But I bet he is SUPER Pissed about having Brady and Kraft force him to trade Jimmy G.

***Disclaimer*** I will not put all Names not on the Bills in this thread as it would get to long, I will keep it to a couple names in each tier (as I see them). As mentioned from @whatdroughtI will link th ones I already have done on the bottom of this post. Hope you enjoy the read. Only OL and WR left on Offense Currently on Roster: (Positional Spending 3 players 2.834M Cap ranked 23rd in league) - I like this finally not putting a ton of cap space into this position. T.J. Yeldon (UFA 2021) – Saves 1.65M against cap if Cut Devin Singletary (UFA 2023) Christian Wade (signed futures deal) Expiring Contracts Frank Gore (37 yrs old) (2.0M AVV) Senorise Perry (28 yrs old) (720K AVV) Possible Trade TGTS: None - Never trade for a RB in offseason My Take: First, I will address the expiring contracts. I think Gore retires, but even if he doesn’t, I do not want him back (which likely means another veteran RB signed staying with the McD and Beane mentality of a veteran in every room). Also, Senorise Perry they very well could bring him back but that is not going to happen until after the draft IMO. He is one of those post draft, 1 year no guaranteed signings. The expiring contracts do not hurt the room in terms of production (might help it meaning Gore doesn’t get his token touches) but what it does hurt is the Veteran Presence in the room. I guess Beane and McD could look at Yeldon and see if he can bring that presence, but I think they will look for one. I would rather they not as this room IMO doesn’t need it, they are RBs after all. Lets look at Singletary, first his numbers 151 Attempts, 12.6 per game 775 yards 5.1 ypc, 2TDs, 24.5% 1st down percentage, 7 20+ runs, 4 fumbles (1 lost), 41tgts, 29 Rec, 194 yards, 2 TDs, 70.7% catch rate. Now before I continue I just want to do one thing on rushing only….. Josh Jacobs 242 attempts, 1,150 yards 18.6 attempts a game. Let’s see what Motor looks like with those attempt numbers Motor 242 attempts 1,234 yards. Ok now that that is over let me get back to Motor. What I like about him, I knew he had some good vision that is what was talked about since he was drafted. However, I would like to say his vision is much better than anticipated. I am talking Freddie Jackson type vision in his rookie year. What I didn’t know about him is how powerful he is. Yes, some of the broken tackles can be attributed to his low center of gravity, but man I don’t remember seeing a little back move the pile like he does, I think I can count on two hands the number of times I saw the first tackler in bring him down. That is why I would get infuriated when Daboll and McD would force Gore in on short yardage. Where he does need to improve though is pass pro (cheap copout I know all rookies need to improve here) but it is true, he got better as the year went on, but still an issue. 4 Fumbles on 151 attempts is a high as well, so I would like for him to improve that aspect of his game as well, though near the end of the season I did see him cover the ball before taking contact, and my notes have 3 of those fumbles coming when he was fighting for yards. But to the rest of the room the talent is lacking IMO. I know there will be people here coming pounding the table for Wade, for me it is a good story but right now that is all it is. He had a TON to learn but do look forward to seeing if he did at camp. My UFA listing, I am about to show is going to be based on replacing Gore. I don’t like spending big UFA money on RBs, when they can be so easily found in the draft very year. That is my mindset on this specific position group in terms of UFA Acquisitions. UFAs Possible Tier 1 Carlos Hyde (value around 3M) – This IMO is who I would like if we are looking to replace Gore’s Veteran Presence. Lamar Miller Jordon Howard (might have someone overpay for him to start) Tier 2 Adrian Peterson LSean McCoy Bilal Powell Draft Tier 1 (1st and 2nd round grades) Jonathan Taylor (Wisconsin) J.K Dobbins (Ohio State) D’Andre Swift (Georgia) Travis Etienne (Clemson) Tier 2 (3rd-5th round) Chuba Hubbard (OK ST) Cam Akers (FL ST) Najee Harris (Alabama) Clyd Edwards Helaire (LSU) Zack Moss (UTAH) Lamical Perine (Florida) Tier 3 (6th – Priority UFA) Eno Benjamin (AZ ST) A.J Dillon (BC) Ke’Shawn Vaughn (Vandy) Trey Sermon (OK) Michal Warren II (Cincy) Tony Jones Jr (ND) Final thinking in this Position group for me would be: I would not go into UFA and get a Veteran for presence I think Yeldon will be fine and at this point I am thinking Singletary has picked Gore’s Brain. Here is a thought, bring Gore back as a coaching intern if he retires. Now that said I am not going to add to this room via UFA, So I will go into the draft. The pick I am targeting on using for the RB would be one of the 5ths, (don’t need to go earlier as I think Singletary has shown he can be a RB1). So that puts me in Tier 2. Obviously if one of the top 4 drop than I would take one at 150. If not the two I would look at that would bring a different dimension in terms of Motor, but now hurt what the offense would want to do is Najee Harris and Zach Moss would be my TGTs at 150. The organizational depth here is a little lacking, but that would be addressed with the draft. You take one RB later and we are fine. Singletary has shown he can carry the RB1 and the position should flow through him. Past Writeups Quarterback Tight Ends Specialists

I understand that, but nothing Beane has done shows that. Signing Morse Working trade (granted didn't happen) for Brown and OBJ (per reports). Signing Star What he has shown is if he and McD want something they will attempt it.

Morse ring a bell and it happened just this past offseason making him the highest paid Center in the league

yeah because GMs always lay their plans out before the Offseason.

did they draft Beasley, Brown, Morese, Kroft, Smith, Star, Poyer, Hyde, Murphy and the list goes on and on

First Yannick is a UFA so No draft picks required. second 17M is a yearly AVV estimate. He likely would count a lot less against the cap this year as signing bonus would be prorated so say a 17.1M AVV likely will be closer to 10M against this years Cap.

Not a lot of upgrades to Barkley in the UFA market

ahh crap I did forget the future Son in Law. yeah he shouldn’t make the team

Yeah I can do that. No prob. Next one will have all the links to each at the end of the post. Good idea.

So? What has be shown that says he can step in and be a TE2. The smart way to play this position for Allen and the Team would be. sign Hooper or Henry cut Kroft you have the camp battle between Sweeney and Smith. Smith loses he gets cut out of camp

they should. He can’t block and over last two years have had a 59.9% catch rate I could see him as a riser. My early grades have him in the 4th. But really haven’t started digging in to draft hard yet. he becomes TE 3. Which is about what he is. 8 catches 114 yards 0 TDs ISNT really setting anything on fire

I don’t. Ebron can’t block to save his life. me too I think The Rookie they kept on the 53 all year Jaquan Johnson is anticipated to take over for Poyer or Neal when they don’t pay Poyer

this wasn’t meant to be a dig at Knox. Only TE they should be after in UFA is someone better than Knox. Ebron isn’t better than Knox. knox is younger, cheaper and higher upside than Ebron and essentially already at Enron’s Level as a rookie. That is what I was getting at with this post. IMO you are only paying one of the two Safeties (because of the system). So who is more important Hyde or Poyer.

Different Skill Set. Can’t compare an inline blocking TE to a Flex TE. so if they sign Ebron to do what Lee Smith does NO HE would NOT be an upgrade

And I said he is not better than what we have on the roster. You want real improvement in the position your Target should be Hooper and Henry.

Knox moves to TE2. Which is about where he should be right now. So now my 2 TE sets actually have two legit options. If he progresses to be better (he may he may not) in 3 years when he is really ready for TE 1 you can flip Hooper or have two legit weapons at the position. Beane isn’t going to spend in UFA on a top end WR he is gonna address that in draft. So get the legit Offensive weapon at TE. again this thinking only applies to Hooper and Henry. If those 2 are not available then I am not saying sign an Eifert to take away from Knox. they will get more Value for their money spent in this position over WR. Because how this one position helps three (QB, WR and TE).

I am taking advantage of it. I am going and signing a top 5 TE.
