  1. Not gonna lie, I forgot what I predicted but I was pretty shocked he only had 2 TD’s. I definitely felt like it was more for some reason. 
     

    Interested to see who we draft this year. I like watching the film after the draft and seeing where the pieces fit together. Not sure I want to make another prediction just yet for Kincaid, but I would expect the numbers to be similar. Knox has seniority and will get his snaps in for sure.

     

    Dorsey to Brady changed his usage a little. Could have been adjusting to the coaching changes, but after a decent game vs Denver his yardage and targets took a steady hit for about a month. He had 1 game with 0 receptions and another right after with 1 reception for 7 yards. He also scored both regular season touchdowns before Brady was the OC (but did score one against the Steelers in the playoffs). He ended the year strong with 2 great games, and performed well in 2 playoff games. He also missed 1 game during the first half of the season where my numbers may have been a little further off had he played. 


    A good start to what I believe is a great player. Excited for him to take another step this season.

    Not having a 3rd round pick is brutal this year. We can't use it to trade up for a Brian Thomas and we can't use it for someone like Maason Smith.

    Yeah I am positive Beane was counting on that comp pick being a 3rd, which made the trade for Douglas worth the cost. Still not sure how it doesn’t work out for us that way.

     

    Given the WR talent I can see a trade back to recoup the 3rd as a possibility. There’s 3 or 4 guys who are superior and out of range, then a bunch of tier 2 guys who are about even and should be attainable. If we moved to 33-39 we still (probably)have a chance at getting McConkey, Franklin, and Coleman. I don’t think the “drop off” between them vs AD Mitchell is huge, and if it gets us another 3rd we can get some good players still. I mean, we can package a ton of 4th/5ths too but I don’t think that’s a good idea given our holes this season. 
     

    Now, if someone like Chop or DeJean fell to 28… might be real hard to pass on their talent for their positions. Not sure what to do there, which is why I’m not a GM lol

    Let's just continue drafting defense forever.  In fact Let's tell Josh he better be prepared to play some defense. 

    He could be a decent LB hahaha.

     

     

    Possibly, depending how the first round goes, I could see a few targets in round 2. Kris Jenkins, Ruke Orhorhoro, Braden Fiske all seem like good selections. I could also see some activity in rounds 4/5 with players like Jordan Jefferson and Gabe Hall. Barring a trade to the 3rd we likely will miss out on players like Mekhi Wingo and Maason Smith.

  4. Historically speaking, he is baiting the hook and seeing how many people bite. It’s kinda funny at this point. He could tweet out “New shoes” and people are gonna be like “OMG ARE THEY BLACK AND SILVER? DIGGS TO RAIDERS CONFIRMED!!”

     

    Just remember this is part of his offseason entertainment. Stop reading into it so much.

  5. The Patriots are the dark horse here in my view. They need serious help, and with a new coach are allowed a little wiggle room before having to panic.

     

    Vikes send 11, 23, and nex years’ 2nd to move up to 3. NE then sends their 3rd this year to Chicago to get Fields. They go WR at 11, OT at 23, and they have just filled 3 of their biggest needs. If Fields is bad, you’ll be in a position to get a better QB next year. They have the convenience of time for their new staff to get it right and can afford to shore up everything before QB if needed. If Fields does well, they’re set and they got some good quality picks in addition.

  6. It really depends how the 27 teams in front of us go. Suddenly the Chargers have lost their top-2 WRs, meaning they now likely covet a WR ahead of us where a few days ago it was far less likely. Tampa was at risk of losing their best WR but offered him a big payday to stay, but he’s 31 at the start of the season and will eventually need to be replaced. We know the Cards are likely taking one, and the Titans just overpaid big time for Ridley, likely taking them out of consideration as they have other needs early on to address.

     

    i can see the following teams in front of us possibly going WR: Arizona, Chargers, Giants, Jets (though I bet OL is addressed rd 1), Broncos, maybe Colts, maybe Bengals, and Houston. Then there’s the Chiefs who have fewer needs than most, but WR being one of them doesn’t rule out a trade up for them to slide in front of us.

     

    That’s 8-9 teams who could be looking WR in round 1, and even if 2-3 of them listed don’t go that direction, that leaves 6 that very well could.
     

    Harrison, Nabors, Odunze, Thomas Jr, AD Mitchell, McConkey, Worthy make the top-7 options currently. Assuming a worst-case scenario and the Bills have a very bad night 1 of the draft and all these guys are gone before 28, I can easily see trading back or getting another BPA at a position of need. McD would be salivating if DeJean or Chop fell as a result. I’m not advocating for this, I’m just keeping a real perspective on what COULD happen.

     

    At the end of the day, whatever happens, we need to leave the first 2 rounds with at least one WR. Not to replace Gabe, but to replace Diggs. I’d rather it be round 1, but there’s always a chance it doesn’t happen that way.

  7. Man, I picked the wrong career path. I’m already incompetent but likeable, but in 11 years at my current job I’ve probably made less than this incompetent but likeable dork has in one.

     

    i could have sucked at football and made bank… I DO suck at football, what am I saying? PUT ME IN COACH

  8. After today, here’s what I see:

     

    1. While WR should still be priority #1, Samuel is a good signing and makes it easier for the Bills to focus on BPA in the draft in those first 2 rounds especially. Depending how they grade out, I can see a lot of real possibilities 

     

    2. Safety is still very thin for us, and this is a deeper draft for Safeties. I expect to spend possibly 2 later picks for young/affordable guys unless we trade a bunch away.

     

    3. If WR go on a run and we don’t have any with a round 1 grade left, expect a trade back… unless:

     

    4. Cooper DeJean somehow sliding to 28 could make it very hard to pass up. He’d likely be BPA and a position of need if he slides. McD would be pounding his McMeat if he could draft this guy. It’s not likely, but not impossible. 

     

    5. That being said, my draft priorities remain unchanged, and in this order: WR, DT, Edge, S, IOL, CB.

  9. There are so many quality WRs in the draft this year, and while the top-3 might be better overall, the cost to move up high enough to get them far outweighs the “drop” in talent to the 2nd level guys we will likely be able to get sitting still at 28.

     

    if it gets to pick 20 and the guy you absolutely must have is there, ok, now we can consider moving some lower picks to advance, but even that is going to be expensive if you get into a bidding war. If there were only 3 guys you wanted round 1 I’d consider it (maybe), but you’d be insane to do it this year. Guys like Mitchell, Coleman, and McConkey are close enough in skill that you walk away happy with whomever is available at your pick, and you don’t move mountains to get them.

    guys been on a losing team forever. hard to believe he's just gonna get hungry to want to go chase a ring. he will chase money and pull a ridley move.


    If he hasn’t flown out to KC yet I’d be shocked. They’ve got about $15m to spend. 2 year backloaded deal makes way too much sense for a team in need of very little aside from a WR and some depth linemen

    They actually did pretty well in terms of keeping guys they needed to keep. Depth is pretty weak right now. I think they still need a decent depth DT and obviously a starting safety. Those are the big moves left money wise. Maybe an edge. 

    Agree with this. DaQuon and AJ coming back are at least shoring up the defense for now. We have our RB2/3 re-signed as of today, we could still potentially make a few more signing or maybe one bigger signing (with an extension or restructure) to call it a day. We had to shed some bloated contracts unfortunately, and many of whom are well liked or good players on the downside of their career.

     

    Positions of need as far as FA goes is Safety, DT, Edge, and maybe WR in that order. The draft is where we will be getting set for the future. Younger, faster, and at lower cost. 
     

    If we can find some pennies in the couch we should be adding Armstead and a veteran Safety and be done.

    She also has Bills seasons tickets and lives in Williamsville and her favorite store is wegmans 

    They named their firstborn Beef Onweck Armstead, his wife’s childhood phone number was 716-420-6969, and they have never sullied their tastebuds with ranch ever in their life.

    I'm just trying to figure out what the plan is with Armstead if we sign him. I thought he played 3-tech for San Fran. So why are we even targeting him? I know DL is a big need but we can't keep spending big money on defense and ignoring the offense in FA.


    this offseason has a lot of veteran defensive talent out there, and this draft class is not as deep in defensive players where we have need particularly (DT/Edge). Offenses is very stacked, so you settle for a few short contracts for vets on Defense, and try to load up on offensive talent.

     

    thats not to say there aren’t good Defense players to draft, but a lot of positions drop off talent-wise after the first 2 rounds.
