I would love this. We should buy a capable offensive line and build the defensive line through the draft.

Would not be surprised to see Buffalo still take another DT. McCoach gotta get his Dlinemen.
I would certainly hope so. Jordan Phillips isn't a locked in starter which is why he got a 1 year deal.

I like that this is a one year prove it deal. He had some good moments and a couple of bonehead plays but more good than bad. Overall this is a positive signing.
IMO it's more a stopgap deal than a prove it deal. As in we will draft a DT early but you don't want to rely on a rookie to be a full time starter.

I don't know much about him. #2 option, or competition for Logan Thomas?

Move Edmunds to LorAx's spot. They can split snaps at off-ball LB and EDGE. Both will still be on the field a ton, but you're putting Edmunds in a role more suited to his athletic gifts
That would be have the potential to be an elite LB corps. Milano the Will, Edmunds the Sam, White the Mike. I wanted Roquon Smith last year and that's who White reminds me of. I wouldn't expect McDermott to move Edmunds though, he's going to be our middle for a long time.

That’s just draft analysts. I don’t think his stock has changed with actual teams.
The so called "insiders" say that teams think he is undersized and some are projecting him as an LB. Like I said it could be BS but the story on him has changed a lot. At the beginning of the season we were talking about the Bills drafting Oliver at 1 or 2 overall. Now we're talking about drafting him at 9.

I actually think Devin White could be in play at 9 with Lorax in his last year and Milano coming off the broken leg.
From what I've read he plays MLB so I don't know if he fills a need. I guess he could play outside too.

Oliver, White,Taylor,Dilliard, Byron Murphy
Oliver intrigues me. I'm normally wary of players that see their stock suddenly rise after the season ends, but for Oliver the exact opposite happened. He was a lock to be a top 3 pick and I now I see mocks where he isn't even taken in the top half of the 1st round. What changed? His size? On tape he still looks like an elite pass rusher to me. Right now he would be my favorite pick at 9, but who knows maybe he'll go top 5 after all. A lot of BS flies around this time of year.

That said, I just can't see the overall value meeting the investment. Not when there are equal, or even greater holes to fill this year
Truth be told I don't think any player will be available at 9 that I would prefer to trading down. I'm not in love with Metcalf or anything but I think he'd be a good pick at 9 if we stay put. I'm still expecting a defensive lineman at that pick though.

Also taking into account his frame, a quick cut isn't nearly as essential as it is for an average sized receiver. He can simply outbody people on deep outs, curls, etc.
Exactly, we're not talking about a small speedy guy like Marquise Brown. Metcalf is big and strong and fast, he has a big catch radiradius, he's dedicated to the game. That's a lethal combination in the vertical offense that we run. I get the injury concerns though. That would scare me off more than his 3 cone drill.

His talents are for naught in the system we are going to run.
I don't agree with that at all. Our receivers are running routes 15-20 yards down field. If our offense was built around Allen's skill set, we would ideally have strong pass protection, 2 burners on the outside, and a receiving TE to act as our possession receiver. We don't need Metcalf to run short crossers and curls. He would run screens and deep routes all day long.

Change of direction issues are a huge red flag for any receiver,
I generally agree but in our offense straight line speed is arguably more important. The injuries do scare me. But anyone we take at 9 is going to have concerns. If Metcalf had above average agility on top of his elite physical traits he would be guaranteed to go top 3.

I think Burns has been the most impressive DL at this thing and yes that includes Sweat. You can just see his natural athleticism. He is now up to 249 and it hasn't affected him at all. He also has elite college tape unlike Sweat. I would consider him at 9 as well. I want elite traits and elite tape.
I'm surprised there aren't more mocks that give us Burns. He fills a need and fits what we're trying to build. Haven't seen a ton of talk about him though.

Me2 the prb is he won't be there the latest he goes is in the 3rd somewhere.
I think his size and position (slot) will push him past the 3rd, but who really knows anything about what teams are thinking?

Also a 3rd generation NFL player. Everything about Metcalf screams McBeane. If he makes it to 9 I think he's the pick.

I think he's an incredible athlete, and certainly has the potential to be a WR1, but I have serious reservations regarding why he didn't produce at Ole Miss.
Looks to me like it was more a lack of targets than lack of skill.

I'm more concerned about Metcalf's medical history than his college production. An athlete like that will produce in an NFL offense but if he can't stay on the field that's a big risk in the top 10.
This draft will be crazy. Last year I had at least some idea of what the Bills and other teams would do, this year feels like a total wildcard at every pick.

Metcalf just ran a 4.33!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think he'll even be available at 9. That was my fear going into the combine.

I kind of hope he goes to the Dolphins and the Bills can muster a pass rush. A good pass rush would destroy statue Rosen twice a year.
The Dolphins trading for Rosen actually makes a lot of sense. They could swap him for Tannehill and a 2nd.

This draft is so deep at WR. Bills better not screw this up!
I really hope we can trade down. Feels like the best value for offense in this draft is between picks 20 and 50. I would love 2 picks in that range.

If they truly believe another guy this year is better, then you treat Rosen as a sunk cost and take the QB who you think is more likely to get you to the promised land. Don't waste a #1 overall on a non-QB assuming you actually believe in one of the QBs in the draft. #1 overall picks don't come around very often, and if you don't really believe in Rosen, cut bait now.
Maybe if there was a Luck type prospect then that would make sense, but none of the QBs in this draft are that level. Rosen wasn't so abysmal that he shouldn't get a 2nd season, and I say that as someone that wasn't a big believer in him pre-draft. Any QB would have had a rough time in that offense and he did show potential. Their comments don't sit right with me.

I gotta say....if we end up taking Metcalf in the first I am not going to cry at all......that kid is a fricken clydsdale
Use the free agency money to get veteran offensive linemen.......take Metcalf in the first......
This is gonna be a fun draft
Agreed John. He has the highest ceiling of any offensive player in the draft. He's boom or bust with all the potential in the world, and that seems to fit what this regime looks for.

This was not said by accident at the Combine:
Yikes the Cardinals are an even bigger mess than I thought. I know Rosen wasn't great but he was in a really bad situation. They should stand by him this year, there is no upside to messing with his confidence like that.
[Vague Title] What’s going on in Cleveland? Trade Rumors

IIRC Beckham and Landry have been friends since childhood. I could see Beckham approving of a trade to Cleveland.
