Logic

People saying they were hoping for more speed from the RB pick: I get it, but that guy wasn’t on the board at good value at 86. Besides, Moss had 16 plays of 25 yards or more last year. That tells me he CAN make explosive plays.

Funny thing is: if back in February someone would have told you these would be our first three picks, people would have been doing backflips down Chippewa Street. But tonight on social media, the usual cast of complainers. You just can’t — absolutely CAN’T — please some people.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they add one more RB in the draft.

But with less kids.

I’m with this guy.

5foot10, 222 is “small statured” now?

Third on the team in receptions last year. 16 plays of 25 yards or more! Pac-12 offensive player of the year! A north-south runner with catching and big play ability. Frank Gore jr, or as my autocorrect called him: Thor Fire jr.

Not athletic, my ass.

At the end of the day, the Bills’ top remaining need after acquiring Diggs was an edge player. They got one who many thought would go in round 1, who had great college production. His floor is Shaq Lawson, his ceiling is Cam Jordan. He was the legit BPA. DE is a higher value position than HB. It just is. Whats not to like?

Is it a ***** LAW that the network has to go to commercial whenever the Bills pick? This is like the millionth year in a row. World didn’t get to see Beane’s dope draft cave!

Tipping picks is a jabroni move

Live look at Dion Dawkins as he reads this news:

This. So much this. and considering what we traded for Diggs, it’s really more like 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th round picks in two WRs. That’s madness.

From Joe B, on Dugger, who he’s been pounding the table for: Picture this: Tremaine Edmunds, Matt Milano and Kyle Dugger all on the field on base defenses, with the ability to stay on for third downs. All three can drop back capably into zone coverage and are explosive options to blitz. They’ll cause mayhem for opposing offenses. That’s what Carolina had with Thompson, Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis. He was the missing piece to McDermott’s vision back then, just like Dugger could be in the Bills’ defense. And that’s why the Bills made so many visits to see Dugger at Leinor-Rhyne this year.

I think you’re correct, to a degree. I didn’t think Neal had the speed/twitch of either Dugger or Chinn, but I could be wrong.

Depending on the price, I would love adding Samuel. I’d use him more at RB than Carolina did. More of a souped up Ty Montgomery, who would also take over McKenzie’s jet sweep/gadget role.

Respectfully, I do not feel that Neal or Marlowe are in Dugger or Chinn’s area code in terms of athleticism and overall ceiling. Chinn and Dugger, to me, are much closer to a Shaq Thompson or Derwin James. Neal and Marlowe will likely never be that.

I see lots and lots of anti big nickel sentiment, and I guess I’m curious what people’s reasoning is. I want an Edge and a RB2, as well, but what if the value isn’t there? Do people not understand that a big nickel would essentially be a starter in this defense and would provide maximum flexibility and disguise ability to the defense? We we saw last night with the Isaiah Simmons pick and recently with Derwin James that position-less defensive players are the future of the NFL. I’m just confused as to why people don’t want a super athletic, versatile playmaker like Dugger or Chinn who could take Buffalo’s defense to the next level.

I won’t quibble much with the idea that Edge or RB might be better picks, but to call Dugger a safety or to see he’ll only contribute on special teams this year is inaccurate and shows that you don’t understand how they would be using him.

Well...being attached to just ONE player and anticipating disappointment at the selection of anybody other than that one player is definitely setting yourself up for failure, in my estimation!

I think you can rest easy. The Bills will absolutely, positively draft a RB and an Edge player. Not counting Daryl Johnson, they only have three legit edge guys. At RB, they only have Singletary and Yeldon (Jones is strictly special teams. And Christian Wade? Riiight). Based on roster numbers alone. We can almost guarantee these two positions will be drafted.

They are a Canadian thing. These days, you can find them in some US grocery stores. They taste similar to BBQ chips, but different. They’re savory, salty, a little sweet. Uh...let’s consult the interwebs: All-dressed (assaisonnées in French) or colloquially known as "Dressed All Over" chips are a potato chip flavour popular in Canada. The flavour combines the potato chip flavours of barbecue, ketchup, sour cream and onion, and salt and vinegar. I know that sounds weird, but they’re delightful. I learned about them through Letterkenny.

Great post. I was planning to post something just like this. Specifically, as we move forward, I expect the Bills to draft with the future and the salary cap in mind. So for instance, they might draft a safety even though they have two good ones. Why? Because they can’t pay everyone and they have to plan for the future. I expect them them to take a WR this year. They may not immediately have a “need” for one, but Brown and Beasley are pushing 30, and with Diggs (who may need a contract renegotiation in years to come) on board, they’ve got to plan for the future. This is how good, smart, well built and we’ll managed teams draft.
