Logic

Completely ignoring the substance of a post, then insisting on injecting your sage wisdom on the subject anyway. Very “2020 American” of you.

Bills fans wanting to move their tackles to guard...a tradition unlike any other.

I know I keep saying it, but Beane acknowledged in the offseason that the Bills needed to score more points and, specifically, needed to add more "touchdown makers". Obviously, Diggs is a big touchdown maker, and that was a huge addition...but it's still only one addition. I want a big time addition to the running back room -- I love Motor, but good, modern NFL offenses often have at least two good backs, not one, and besides: Singletary is just 5 foot 7, and I'd like to think that if he misses a stretch of games here or there, it won't derail the Bills offense. As for the WR corps: I agree that the top three are as rock solid as it gets, but I want depth and youth. None of Robert Foster, Isaiah McKenzie, or Duke Williams are reasons not to add a good young receiver to the room if there's one available. For instance, suppose pick number 54 rolls around and Leviska Shenault or Tee Higgins are on the board. Me? I ABSOLUTELY want to add one of those guys. Ditto running back. I don't want to bypass highly talented backs in rounds 2-4 in the hopes that someone falls to round 5 or 6. Yes, you CAN find running backs late, but MOST of the good, dynamic backs in the NFL were drafted by round 4. Bottom line: The Bills defense is still top 5. Their offense, until further notice, is still bottom 7. And if the argument is "they have depth everywhere but RB on offense", I'd counter with "yeah, but they also have depth everywhere on defense". You could make an argument that CB2 or Edge could use one more body...but it's no stronger an argument than that which says that the WR and RB rooms need more bodies. And given how far the Bills offense is behind its defense, I'm leaning toward offense all the way.

I'd *****.

I’d actually be pretty irritated if it was a defense heavy draft, too. They have already poured so much money and so many draft picks into the defense. It’s ALREADY a top 5 unit and should get better as guys like Oliver and Edmunds progress. Meanwhile, the offense is a bottom 7 unit. This is Allen’s make or break year. Beane said the team needs more “touchdown makers”, and thus far he has only added one. The offense needs more upgrades, namely at RB, WR, and OT. So with regard to this coming draft? I’m 100% with you. We need offense, and it would be irritating to watch them use three of their first four picks or something on defense.

ScottLaw will complain about who they pick. oh wait, you said BOLD? Bills will use their 2nd round pick on a running back.

I suppose you know for certain after one season that he WASN'T the best player available? ?

They were, what, two games away from a league title, with an all but insurmountable point lead? They should have just been declared champions.

Oh for chrissakes. THIS seems like reasonable and well informed conjecture. ?

I know someone already said it in this thread, but... The fact that the Bills are the best they’ve been in decades and are FINALLY favored to win their division again, not to mention Brady finally leaving the East...and THIS happens to be the year the NFL may not have a season?! Oy. God must be a Pats fan ?

I believe the new CBA made it so that you can have extra players active on game day beyond what used to be allowed, SO LONG AS the extra players are o-linemen. As such, they may keep all of Nsekhe, Long, Bates, etc as depth. It IS, however, time for Ike Boettger to ***** or get off the pot. https://www.google.com/amp/s/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/02/21/new-deal-would-allow-for-extra-offensive-lineman-on-game-day/amp/

I'll never understand why the Bills cut Jonathan Williams. He looked really good in the preseason for Buffalo. I know coach McDermott says it wasn't for any character reasons, but I can't help but think Williams was somehow not a culture/process fit.

Awesome signing! Beane has once again made it so that the Bills have no glaring needs and can truly draft BPA in each round. They are one HB away from a complete, ready-to-compete roster, even WITHOUT the draft. These cheap, no-risk, one-year deals of mid level contributors are awesome. I LOVE Beane’s approach to free agency. Love it.

Good move. They'll try to upgrade the "gadget guy" position in the draft, but it's always smart to bring back a guy that you already know can do it well, for competition's sake.

Can you provide a link for this information. I do not believe that it’s correct.

Nope. That’s not how vaccines work. MONTHS of testing must be done before a vaccine becomes “available” to anyone. At least 12-18 months away, period.

I just wanted to say that I LOVE signing supremely athletic former 1st round picks whose rookie contracts have expired. Beane likes to take these swings, it seems. The Bills’ new D-line coach got the most out of Butler last season, as he broke out with 6.5 sacks. If he can continue to produce like that, this will prove to be a steal of a signing. If he can’t, he can be cut after this season with little penalty, and Quinton Jefferson and Horrible Harry can play more 3T. Love it.

Agreed. My contention is that they won’t be running the same offense they ran with Brady this year, regardless of who is under center. I believe McDaniels could craft an offense that would make Newton quite effective. Now...whether or not he’s a Belichick type of player/worker is a whole other question.

Fair enough. If if that is the case, though, why do you suppose we’re five days into the tampering period and he’s still unsigned? Shouldn’t teams be tripping over each other to try to land a young, elite pass rusher?

Clowney is overrated. If it wasn't for that ONE college highlight he had and his cool name -- like if his name was just Bill Smith -- nobody would give a damn about him. His market is bearing that out, I think. As for New England: The players that would scare me the most at QB for them are Andy Dalton and Cam Newton. I don't know why, buy I just think that if you combined Cam Newton with a creative play-caller and with that New England defense, you'd really have something. As for Dalton: He's actually quite good when given good protection and weapons. New England doesn't really have that right now. IF they got him some linemen and targets, he could do some damage.

Wait... Are people still thinking the Bills will get Ngakoue? That dream flew out the window when they signed Addison and Jefferson, in my opinion. Any additions at edge will likely come in the draft at this point.

Absolutely. If the question is "pass catching trios", it's a whole different ballgame. At that point, San Francisco (Kittle, Sanders, Samuel) and Cleveland (OBJ, Landry, Hooper) enter the discussion as well, I think.

Kelce is a tight end. The Tampa Bay receivers you mention form a DUO, not a TRIO. Reading comprehension is hard.

I have to be honest -- I don't really want to see the Bills sign Gordon or Gurley. Once you get past the "big name" factor and the "he used to put up good fantasy numbers for me" factor, you can see the reality of each player clearly: In Gordon's case, he has averaged LESS than 4 yards per carry in four of his five professional seasons. In Gurley's case, his effectiveness has decreased in each of the past couple seasons, and there are rumors that his degenerative knee condition is quite bad indeed. Draft a running back between rounds 2-4, bring another in via UDFA. Roll into camp (if there IS a camp) with Singletary, rookie 1, rookie 2, TJ Yeldon, and Taiwan Jones. Just say no to spending $6million on over-hyped running backs.

Until I see one single, credible source about this, I don't believe it. This Bills front office is as tight on leaks as any we've ever seen...and I'm supposed to believe that two no-name Twitter accounts above know what's happening behind the scenes? Pshaw!
