LABILLBACKER

The only thing I pray for is our scouts aren't drunk.

Give me any of those 5. Doubtful Addison or Robinson fall to us. Mauch is an early 2nd round guy. Sorry, I'm not picking Defense in the first 3 rounds.

We absolutely can't short arm offensive additions this offseason. McD will just have to be frugal and creative in finding defensive guys. 75% of this draft/ FA MUST be offense with emphasis on OL/ WR.

See it to believe it. We've always played the soft bend defense. Then we watch it break in the playoffs. Without a better pass rush it won't matter what style we transition into. Hope he's sincere in this proclamation.

I agree that the key to the future success of the Bills is to build a monster offense around Josh. To literally outscore teams regardless of how our defense plays. Now the only problem to hurdle is how to keep McD from his incessant defensive picks?

Yes this is the risk. You have the "Keep McD" camp that fears someone else might be worse and that very well could be true. Why screw up a good thing, we're winning 10-13 games each season. And you have the "we can do better" camp like myself that fears Sean can only climb 3/4 up the mountain. I would've loved a HC like Dabs, Frank or Payton to surround Josh with tons of protection and weapons. Obviously those ships have sailed. Sean's tendencies scare me. Player development delays, odd personnel decisions and in game mistakes. Sean should be applauded for all the good he's done but that final goal just seems so far away.

Yeah I absolutely despise McD's philosophy of sitting on rookies and letting them marinate. Andy simply let's them jump right in to see what he's got while developing. The days of holding a clipboard are long over. Even Mel Kiper said yesterday that this year's draft overall is weak.

And unfortunately once we enter the playoffs we don't have the proper coaching philosophy. We don't have the coaching firepower to outscheme elite qb/ HC combos. McD will get taken to the woodshed every time.

So we better score 2 olineman in the first 3 picks. This organization does not have the luxury to keep ignoring Josh.

He'll always be part of the best safety duo in Bills history. Wish him nothing but the best. He was a dawg.

And some of us are perfectly content with regular season accomplishments.

Hire TB12 as your nutritionist.

TE @ 27, absolutely NO. Bijan @ 27 maybe? if the top wrs are gone. We need WR/OL in the first 4 picks.

Let's just wait & see Isaiah play in year 2 getting throws from the Dabol yr2 version of D. Jones. If he does well then yes it will be another Wyatt Teller blunder. Wasn't Crowder hurt before Hodgins was poached? We've seen many a coach left on the tarmac. And honestly 13 seconds will go down in coaching blunder lore.

The key words are "as yet". Of course we celebrate the job Sean did to dig us out of 17 yrs of pain. And Brandon was amazing finding Josh & Diggs. But after that there's this huge drop off. Beane's picks have been mostly disappointing. Sean's in- game strategy is terrible. Most of our wins are because JA has to do something heroic. How do you not identify Josh as your best generational player and not build a dominant offense around him? With each passing year and early playoff exit, the "good will" these 2 men have built up will disappear. Enjoy your adorable Marty Schottenheimer seasons. That should be fun.

Anyone who thinks McD isn't in control of defensive draft picks is incredibly naive.

The amount of Bills fans who have suddenly accepted a good regular season as the ultimate goal is growing. I'm seeing it from several long time posters. "Sean get me 10+ and maybe a division and I'm good"..... the goal should be championship or bust. If some of you are waiting for Sean to do exactly what Andy did, you might be waiting awhile. When all these rankings (3rd, 5th, 8th, 21st, 46th) translate to getting to a SB, call me.

He should be on edge. He has to know this might be his most important draft. We either focus on offense or we don't.

Nope....either take Bijan if he falls or sign Perine 2/6M. Fournette will want 7+. Or just stick with Hines as your RB2/ KR and find a cheap udfa.

Yeah we're so spoiled and tired of carrying around all those Lombardis. If you want to actually witness an "entitled" fanbase, take a drive up to NE.

Sometimes the truth is toxic.

Brisset could win you a game or two. There's nothing about Keenum, Tribisky or Mariota that excites me. Darnold would be my 1st choice but he'd also be too pricey.

Knox's quiet first half I think was more a product of Dorsey asking him to block more. It was a bad strategy. If your OL is awful then get better olineman. Don't ask Dawson to be your 6th olineman because Spencer & Q are getting burned constantly.

The reason you don't lock up or extend players like Edmunds, Poyer, Oliver & Gabe is because they're not playing at a high enough level for success or in Po's case age + injuries. This organization has done some dumb things, but letting these 4 walk is not one of them.

They are all culpable for the playoff exits. Frazier needed to be better at in game adjustments and aggressiveness. McD needed to be a HC and make sure your assistants have their crap together (Farwell / 13 sec). And Beane can't live on the good will of Allen/ Diggs forever. He needs to completely re-evaluate his entire scouting department. It's not all Frazier's fault. McB & Dorsey need to step it up. No one is handing out mini Lombardis for winning the regular season.
