Why do this before the draft? I’m guessing interior offensive line isn’t a draft thought in the first four rounds anymore.

Anything's possible. If Beane is thinking of a major move like that they could already have the parameters of the deal in place. It pry won't happen until the draft though as the Giants might only move out if a player they want is off the board by the time they pick. The Bills might not make the move if the WR they covet is gone at 6. The Broncos and Bills had a deal ready to go in 2018 but Elway called off the deal because Bradley Chubb fell to them.

He is on a 5th year option. It pays $14m this year. We have around $3m in space right now. We get another $10m due in June when Tre comes off the books but we need that money to pay our draft picks.
Could they restructure Allen's, Oliver's, and Milano's contracts to make it work? The banana stand has a reputation to uphold.

When folks suggest giving up significant 2025 draft capital for a WR, one name comes to mind, Doug Whaley...
Falcons went to a Super Bowl thanks in large part to Julio Jones. Just make sure if we do make that move the WR doesn't believe the earth is flat.

Do you guys really think WR is a need?

Did you look at the KC WR corp in 2023? You know…the one they won the SB with?
They had Kelce and a top five defense.

If the Bills are going to be a serious contender this year they need to trade for an Aiyuk, Higgins, or Jefferson. If not, then they need to make a massive trade up to get one of those top three WR prospects. That's the only way this team competes for a Super Bowl this year and it sucks if it doesn't happen.

With the 21st pick, the Miami Dolphins select Byron Murphy, DT, Texas.
The offensive line definitely needs to be addressed for this abhorrent franchise but it's hard passing on Byron Murphy in this spot. He should provide some much needed interior pass rush pop that was lost when Wilkins signed with the Raiders.
The Philadelphia Eagles @HappyDays are on the clock.

You are the GM of the team and should draft based upon the best interest of the team. I hope the GM would take the time to research what that would be.
We will be lucky if we get 5% of our picks correct. With that being said, I know many GM's goals on here is accuracy to how it will all play out
So it's not a pick that you hope the team will make that helps out the Bills the most? I guess the Dolphins won't be taking a first round punter this year.

All the Bills day three picks.

They need to reduce the rookie contracts by a year with a 4th year option for first round picks. Extension talks can start after two seasons. It's too brutal of a sport to have to wait four years just to get your second contract if you vastly outperform it.

They'll re-coup some of that dead cap so it's not a tremendous hit. Good on the Lions for releasing him as I'm also against strangling someone.

It is not a position of need. Johnny Newton is a 3T. The Bills have one of their best players at 3T, they just paid him and he just had a career year. You can't line Newton up with Oliver in anything more than pure pass rush downs. And if they are going to spend a 1st round pick on a 3T and then force fit him into a 1T shaped hole.... well they deserve everything they get.
That's a good point but I think if they do draft him they'll have projections of him lining up at both DT and DE (on possible run downs) depending to get him in the field at least more than 50% of the snaps. I'm not a fan of it but I think that's what they had in mind when they drafted Basham albeit he was primary a DE. I just don't see them passing him up if he falls that far. Too good of a player.

Now you're talking.
There were 17 blocked kicks last year.
Out of 1060 total FGA.
That's about 1%.
Worrying about blocks is foolish. Statistically, that's an extreme improbability.
It happened on Bass's field goal attempts 5.88% last season and 6.25% the season before. None his first two seasons. It's a problem for him for whatever reason.
-
I never gave it much thought but why not snap it 10 or so yards on shorter kicks if blocks are a problem? Mess with normal rhythm/routing of the snap/kick? Make it more likely for the defender rushing from the edge to block it because he has a better angle?

It's all good, I don't disagree with you there and respect your fandom. I still have a hard time picturing the stadium full to capacity indefinitely going forward if the Bills encounter some more lean years again(not talking about ticket sales, just butts in seats).
The Bills knew very on in the process that even in the worse years you'd still fill out a 63k capacity stadium for almost all the games. It's one of the main reasons it's not 72k like we have now. That and more room for luxury boxes. The outdoor stadium decision still baffles me though. This has pry been covered before but how hard would it be to eventually put a roof on it?

Hard Knocks has been airing since 2001.
Not a single team has made it to the SB when the were featured on HK.
The closest was the 2010 Jets. They made it to the AFC CG where they lost to the Steelers.
This belief "we get to see what goes on behind the scenes" etc,,, is all BS.
HK is like every other reality TV show.
Media manipulated to drive "drama".
If somebody needs that kind of fake drama, go watch Wrestling.
I am a Hard No on Hard Knocks.
Probably because most of the teams featured didn't make it to the playoffs the previous two seasons so not making it to a Super Bowl isn't surprising. Also, with that kind of logic we never made the Super Bowl because we weren't featured on Hard Knocks.

Who dat?
I had heard Aaron Rodgers, Jesse "the Body" Ventura, or Tulsi Gabbard. Any one of those would have been interesting
I don't think any of them were serious candidates but just floating their names out there gave some publicity to his campaign.

NFL has changed qualifications for Hard Knocks meaning the Bills are eligible to be forced to do it this summer as they removed the playoff criteria. Here are the only teams that aren't qualified.
They have a first-year head coach in place.
They're participating in the in-season show during the upcoming year or the following season.
They have appeared on "Hard Knocks" in the past eight years.
They apparently will also feature an In Season Hard Knocks where they'll follow four teams in a division. It's doubtful the AFC East will be chosen this year since the Fish did it last year and the Jets were in the summer addition.
I used to be against it because of the possible distraction but it's not like avoiding the show has led to a Super Bowl birth. I would enjoy the behind the scenes stuff and get a better sense of the personalities of the coaches and players. Would be curious if you guys would welcome it or think it's too big of a distraction.

Hard pass and I liked him coming out of the draft because he sounded like a Harry Potter character.
I'll let someone else take that chance coming off a torn ACL and a torn Achilles. Maybe the Rams give him $8.5m. We'll find someone through the draft and if that doesn't come to fruition sign someone like Murray like we did last year. I'm holding out hope for Zeke Elliott personally.

While I'm on team WR for RD 1, did people forget we drafted Kincaid in RD1 last year? Sure, he's not a WR but it's not like he isn't a awesome weapon for Allen.
True and Diggs was basically our first round pick in 2020. His best WR acquisitions besides that have come in free agency with Brown and Beasley. Shakir and Gabe are good day finds on day 3 to fill that WR3/4 role. Now he has to show he can draft the eventual next WR1 for this team and this has to be the draft he does it in.

I like it. I want football seven days a week. All in Prime Time on a million different streaming services just so the whining goes to an all time high but the NFL will still pull in massive profits because we will still watch.

La'al Collins signs for the Bills

Based off his injuries it's more likely he cures cancer.
