LABILLBACKER

Most mocks have Grant going 20-25. I've even seen a couple having us trade up with the Vikings for Grant. Grant would be my pick but hopefully we don't have a 30th because we landed Garrett or Crosby. Looks like a trade up to the mid 20's would cost us both 4th's?

Ok, I'll bite....So what 16 seed are the Chiefs playing every year?

Unfortunately even Ed & DQ have had way too many uninspiring performances. It's very telling to see guys like Ford/ Settle leave and play better. Unfortunately for the most part our DT's have been Jagelicious.

I tried to worship Milano...I really did.

I'm not talking about sacks. I'm talking about the hits he takes on designed runs, scrambles and tush pushes. Eventually that "expected" part of his game will be minimized as he ages. He'll need to fine tune his skills as a pocket passer. But he could very well play as long as Ben. That's not out of the realm. I just don't see 40 with the hits & mileage he's already put on that engine.

First of all colleges have tournaments, not the NFL. Secondly too many fans are over-relishing the journey, while convincing themselves the destination just isn't as important anymore.

Years 29-32 would be his physical peak. So these next 4 seasons and the opening of the new stadium will be realistically his best chance to win a Lombardi. Obviously he should have gone to 1 SB his first 7 year window. I think he'll play thru his 36 yr old season then hang it up. So we're looking at 4+4. His last 4 will likely not result in any SB appearances unless the organization builds a "Rams like" team they gave Stafford. Josh has taken too many hits to make it to 40.

It doesn't matter as much to the younger generations. They are perfectly happy and content to continue enjoying the current Bills experience....just entertain me.... Winning a championship used to be the ultimate goal. It's exhausting trying to understand this. There will always be a large percentage of fans that will support McB no matter what. And besides with Kim no longer able to run her team, Terry will not make waves and continue status quo. It is what it is....

Completely agree....3 of Tom's rings are because of Bill's defense in those SB's. I'd kill to have a defensive genius like Beli clean up the playoff defensive meltdowns we've witnessed dating back to the 4 SB losses.

The 2nd & 4th doesn't spook me that much. And obviously BB would restructure his contract to factor in void years. We'd still have a 1st & 2nd round pick for DL. DK would bring a speed/size element this team has never had since Eric Moulds.

We all luv Tre but he was washed the day the Bills released him. His play as a Ram / Ravens only validated that. He's done, those 2 injuries ended his career.

I don't see Lorne running to the phone to call Kermit.

2/$28 would be the most I'd pay AC based on his age and projected return. It's not like he was that productive for us anyway. Draft 2 wrs and hope 1 blossoms.

My gut says do not sign a high priced wr like Higgins or Cooper. Take your chances in the draft and maybe we find a mid round diamond that can help us to a SB on a cheap rookie contract. You have to assume players like Kincaid, Coleman and Samuel will slightly improve on their 24' numbers. We're not getting knocked out of the playoffs because we can't score. Spend your fa and cap money on D.

Just give me Cosby & DJ Reed and we can go DT/WR in the draft.

I agree the good will Beane gets and earned from landing Josh is deserved. But it should not be taken for granted nor does it last forever. I don't know who really makes the picks in the first 3 rounds? I used to think it was McD, then Beane or some combination of both. Now I have no clue. Picks must improve, especially on defense. Brandon knows we must have a game wrecking Dlineman who after 8 seasons he's failed to find. Are we destined to continue getting to a certain threshold only to stop and go no further?

Oh those insufferable McB supporters. Check back with me in a few years when our current situation is the same. We'll have a good laugh then on who's educated.

Well he did some stellar player evaluation on Elam, AJE and Basham. Listen I get it. Because they dug us out of the drought and had the incredible insight to land Josh, they get some kind of "lifetime job security award". And that's fine too. In fact I'll go on record as saying Terry is very satisfied with the teams current situation. I don't know if the goal is the SB anymore? I see how aggressive the Eagle organization is with drafting and void years, maybe Terry doesn't have the cash or the motivation to commit to the same strategy? Everything is a guess and speculation. But my gut says if Josh wasn't on this team, getting to double digit wins might be a little dicey.....ya think?

Edmunds and Rousseau are both mediocre 1st round picks who will not be worthy of a 2nd contract with the Bills. Tremaine poached tackles his whole career and after 4 seasons, Groot averages 6.2 sacks. Is that a game wrecker?...elite?....worth 20M/ yr? Can we just admit that defensively Beane's failed in the first 3 rounds. So much so that we resorted to desperation signing a 33 yr old pass rusher. And I guarantee you Donald made Von, not visa versa. If by some act of God we can trade for Maxx/ Myles....at least they're still in their 20's.....

If McB hadn't drafted 17, they both would've been fired 4 years ago. I didn't know Beane had never been a scout? That's terrifying...I guess guys like Elam, Epenesa & Basham make sense now. As far as McD, you guys are on your own.

Worst player moment....Norwood Worst player game........Peterman Worst player drafted.....Maybin

You win SB's with elite players on rookie contracts. Not signing a 33 year old washed pass rusher. It's no news flash that Beane has historically struggled drafting defensive players. I can't tell you why? Brandon not only must draft heavy D this April, but these players must also be BPA. We can no longer target specific positions in specific slots. And as far as McDermott coddling new rookies, this ridiculous practice has got to stop. You sink or swim with these guys. Not bury them in the back of the closet because your GM screwed up.

I agree, if we fail to land Crosby or Garrett then we better take DL in our first 3 picks. You can land dbs later in the draft or sign a DJ Reed. We need to finally hit on young Dlineman on rookie deals. We can't afford anymore Epenesa's or Bashams. Maybe use the 4th round to find a wr?

You're right, it's all speculation. On the outside with snow angels and Pats on the back, everything looks wonderful. But IMHO I think Josh is slowly starting to get pissed off. He'll never show it because he's the "good soldier". But if you look at how after that post game presser he was a higher tier of devastated. Something I haven't seen in previous playoff presser losses. He looked completely and emotionally wiped out. This "status quo" strategy of keep doing what we've been doing and eventually we'll break thru isn't sustainable. Every human being has a breaking point. And if this yearly playoff exit continues, there's no way Josh will not complain. I think eventually he'll get tired of wearing the inadequacies of this front office. Josh is not dumb. He knows he's too talented to not be in one SB by now.

But Patrick insisted he wasn't Offside, so there's no way he could've strangled her?
