“Why, Johnny Mingo… you look like someone just walked over your grave.” I’m sorry, I’m dumb. I like Mingo too - I had him as a mid-3rd rounder - early 4th but I think he’s going late 2nd - early 3rd after the combine.

So is he going to Minnesota in 2 years next, right? in 15 years will he be (allegedly, don’t want to get sued) caught trying to steal from welfare funds?

Mid 40s roughly would look like this for me: Offense: G Steve Avila C John Michael-Schmitz Defense: LB Jack Campbell in my eyes it’s got to be those 3 unless someone like a good WR falls for some reason. They’re all immediate starters for sure. I don’t think any of them last to 59 so take whomever you think is going to be BPA. At 59 I think you can get a WR like Dell and go from there, or a player like C/G Joe Tippman, so maybe that bumps Campbell up the list because he looks like he could be too good to pass up.

Hahaha yeah I certainly did and I’m the one who posted it. Saw it on the app but there was no way to share it. Apologies for that (I’m certainly no Yolo lol)

https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-re-sign-g-ike-boettger-to-one-year-deal 1 year deal - good to see him coming back. **Edited to include correct link**

I’m pretty high on Dorian as well. Probably a 4th rounder and right about where I would be comfortable taking him. Could slip into the 5th but I think he’s gone by then I’m a big fan of Jack Campbell and Drew Sanders too, but not sure I want to draft them as early as would be needed with the offensive needs. If they’re available in rounds 2/3 there’s gonna be some consideration

https://www.nfl.com/combine/tracker/live-results/ This is the NFL.com combine tracker. It allows you to sort by position and by event to see how everyone scored. Also, you can now pay NFL+ to watch the combine… thank$ Goodell, you $ure are a $well guy. 🙄

The best “pick” is likely to trade back a little bit so we can get a few extra selections. In a trade-back scenario, I’m looking at Steve Avila or John Michael-Schmitz in the early to mid 2nd round. Avila has experience at G and C, which is very much in the mold of what our staff likes. JMS is a beast and would be a great addition to the line - having him at G now to take over next year at C would be fine as I don’t think we bring Morse back once his contract ends. From there? Your guess is as good as mine. I think Rice is a day 2 pick personally but not sure he’s there at 59. I also don’t think he’s as valuable as either of the above options to be taken ahead of them. He *might* be at 59, the other two (barring a garbage combine) will definitely *not* be there at 59. If we are trading back I think it’s for one of these guys. I’m not sure how I feel about Tank Dell from Houston. He’s a day 2 guy I think who may also be an option at 59. I feel like he’s a guy who SHOULD be taken way earlier than some of his counterparts but his name isn’t coming across as many headlines. Lots of love for Hyatt and Rice lately while, to me, Dell is as good as they are. He’s a weapon for sure. I also like Josh Downs a lot but he’s 100% a slot guy and we have more than enough of them. Great player, bad fit. Voorhis would be a good G to add day 3. He was initially a 5th round projection, I doubt he makes it past the 4th. Could work himself into the late 3rd with an outstanding combine I think. Back to round 1… I think if someone like Zay Flowers falls you have to really consider him before taking calls to move back. Paris Johnson and Skoronski go here as well but I can’t imagine either of them not being at top-20 pick. Hyatt is interesting but there’s a lot of hype moving him up the boards and I’m not sure he’s worth pick 27 (don’t hate me, I know it’s a bad take)

I figured a centralized place for the combine news would probably be a good idea as we start seeing player evaluations begin. Here is a breakdown of the Combine schedule for the remainder of this week: March 2 (3 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET): DL, LB March 3 (3 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET): DB, PK/ST March 4 (1 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET): QB, WR, TE March 5 (1 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET): OL, RB The combine takes place at its usual stomping grounds of Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and it should hopefully be an exciting week of coverage. Prepare for your early mock drafts to be blown to bits, and may all our picks be future HOF’ers.

Maybe he was worried about being irresponsible with it? How many athletes have we seen over the years amass a fortune and mismanage their finances? Maybe he was determined to not let that be him. Not sure I would have gone that far, but I can understand the viewpoint

I’m all for trading back and getting a few extra picks - provided we address IOL and WR within the first 3 rounds. I’m high on Campbell and think if he was there in the 2nd you can’t pass him up. I would be ok with any of the following playing out: 1st round/early 2nd: IOL/WR 2nd round: Campbell or possibly Simpson if they last that long. If not, IOL/WR 3rd round: Drew Sanders, Dorian Williams, or Ivan Pace. One of these guys should be there for us. If we got Campbell or Simpson in round 2, we go IOL/WR. 4th: IOL - probably someone like Voorhis for the IOL if he even lasts that long From here, depending on the trade back and/or whatever other picks we have, WR and S get addressed, and a late round flyer on a running back like KC did to see if we can find some gold.

Media needs headlines until the combine. This is a Nothingburger.

I’d love him back, and maybe the prospect of playing with JA would be appealing, but he didn’t seem interested in signing with us after his first run. Maybe it was the staff, or QB, or Buffalo itself, but I’d be willing to take him in at a team-friendly deal. If I remember he was very well-liked while here. Would be a nice fit if Beas decides to call it a career again. …that being said, WR in rounds 1-3 please.

My guess is a trade back to the early 2nd, looking at someone alike Avila or Schmitz. Avila has played both G and C, and Schmitz fits the McDermott personality/character prototype. Both would be welcome additions to the line and would be day 1 starters. If Flowers somehow falls to 27 it’s hard to pass on him. There’s still good G/C depth in the day 2 and 3 picks, but WR gets scarce after round 2 in my opinion. That being said, if we keep Josh standing he’s gonna make stars out of whoever he throws to, so WR is a need but not as much as IOL

There must be some mistake - I heard he was a star who had been wasted on our depth chart…

Juju is the class clown who did nothing in the group project but got an A because all the other kids did his job for him 😂

I AM OUTRAGED! …are we outraged? Oh, and just to set the record straight, McD is known to be an extremely safe, low risk approach kinda guy. You really think he’d risk the health of the one guy who can keep his job here indefinitely if he knew an injury was going to possibly jeopardize his career? Cmon, man.

Go birds, I guess

Maybe if they professionally framed it they’d have more luck 😂

Dabes earned it. I could argue Siriani but I’m happy for coach to get his due. I wish him a ton of success unless it’s against us

Aphasia is, more than anything, cruel. Bruce Willis retired due to it. To be able to mostly understand and WANT to communicate but not be able to physically is so heartbreaking. Add this to the laundry list of tribulations the team endured… of course I’m disappointed we aren’t playing this weekend, but at some point enough is enough. More than anything I hope the city/team/players get to next year with some time to put all the craziness of 2022 behind them. Kim, I wish you the best and hope you continue to recover. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for this team.

2021. He came into form late in the season and looked unstoppable in the playoffs. Had the thing that shall not be referenced not happened, I truly feel he’d have smoked the Bengals and likely the Rams. It was *seconds* away. I do think he gets the job done eventually. I just feel like that would have been such an unbelievable run had things ended differently.

9ers or Cowboys (because Jurrah would campaign for it)

We got the opener in 2022. I think you’d be more likely to see KC vs Cinci to start things off

Well, the Bengals may be looking for a new RB1
