Fully agree there’s zero chance the bills would trade to allow a division rival into the top 10 unless the compensation was completely absurd like multiple firsts and seconds. They would never allow Miami into the top 10 especially to grab a quarterback

To be fair there was a giant group of bills fans who felt the same way the year so many wanted to draft Ebron, who is top 15ish tight end but certainly not a top 10 kinda guy. Tight end is a very hard position to talk so confidently as a sure fire hit in the draft. I’m not against taking him but there’s a high chance he’s nowhere near as good as people make him out to be.

I fully agree on this. Ravens are not that great of a team, especially on defense now. They’ll never win a game this season if they go down 10 points

It’s after the draft to August that kills me.

Nashville for me. 2-3 hour drive. Looking forward to it

I don’t think the wizard is pulling anymore trades unless it’s moving around the draft board. We are gonna pull 1-2 elite talent prospects in the draft along with what we have is a solid group. I can’t see Beane forking over 100 million for someone right now. That’s how you get into cap hell. You pay 100 million for a generational talent, a quarterback or someone you’re familiar with cause they’ve been on your team for years and proven they’re worth it and gonna keep working. Why give Clowney 100 mill when you can more than likely get as good of a pass rusher in the first round? I suppose if you’re just missing that one piece to be a super bowl contender you could pull the trigger but we’re not on that level yet.

I’ll be there as well

I would like to see changes as well, no matter what I think it should be a one time thing for each players career.

He will probably never live up to his draft position but that’s not his fault, he’s gotten better every year and what more can you ask of a player? I don’t think they’re concerned with the 5th year option, cause I think they’ll sign him long term, especially now his value isn’t super high like if he had a breakout season with 10+ sacks

I don’t think Seattle can let him go, unless they decide to go full rebuild cause Wilson won’t sign or play there. But I do think he’d be a better fit here than clowney, I haven’t seen what he’s looking for in terms of contract either though and definitely have not watched him as much as I’ve seen Houston play. Seattle game is an immediate turn the channel for me

The pressure stat doesn’t always tell the story though.. Sure it looks good as a stat but take Hughes for instance, he flies off the line and runs all the way around the left tackle to “pressure” the quarterback who takes two steps forward and completes a pass. Counts as a pressure but it doesn’t actually do much. It’s not in your face pressure like a Watt or Mack give you. Not dogging Hughes or clowney but that stat doesn’t tell much. I’d rather see the stats for QB knockdowns as that means they were actually close to a sack. I don’t follow Houston too closely but I do generally watch 3-5 games a year of them and clowney is mostly a no show in games I’ve seen. I couldn’t get behind bringing the guy in and paying him 100 million to line up on the same line as Hughes who has arguably been more reliable and better at a lower tiered salary. We can grab a pass rusher in rounds 1 or 2 who could match clowneys impact on a game I guess is the simplified version I should have just said

I would seriously have to start doubting Beane if he acquired Clowney, oft injured and good against the run.. Kinda sounds like Lawson a little, only 100 million dollars more expensive. Clowney is not an impact pass rusher, however he is pretty elite against the run.. He also generally plays the same spot as Hughes in the 4-3 set and it’s not always effective to swap to the other side. He’s a good player, but he’s always dinged up (he does play through it generally) and hes wanting top 5 money as a defensive end. The reason Houston isn’t paying him is simple, they want to pay him as an outside 3-4 linebacker and he isn’t having it. I would expect him to play his franchise tag out this season and be gone next year

I agree there. People are putting too much stock into this stat recording

Jeez just let this die a peaceful death already. On to bills football and draft and not some dumb story that only maybe 5-10 people actually know the truth about.

Fair point. But buffalo sure doesn’t have an offensive coach, top 3 running back and elite line play either. The rams may be the one top offense without a tight end

I think there are better players available and white would probably be the best. But I’m taking Hock. You just gotta have a vertical tight end in this league to be a top tier offense that’s just all there is to it. Linebackers and corners are much easier to coach up (especially for this staff) than a tight end. Hock is the playmaker we desperately need.

While I would enjoy it... It would probably be a very boring massive fail to the general nfl public. Nobody cares about our offensive line camp battles etc etc besides us

I would love to downvote some of this nonsense..

40 year old virgin for the win Alex

This is definitely not news worthy even on a slow day. You could of at least added Thomas and Yeldon are visiting them today too

Definitely don’t think he’s here to play end, this is a great pre draft signing to fill a role in case they can’t land who they want in the draft. I like Beanes aggressiveness and backup plans

I liked his motor, just not enough athletic talent there. Happy he gets a shot to make an impression again, but as others said I don’t know if he can make the team this year

Russel Wilson has never had much of a pass game, and Peyton’s was 20+ years ago when you were still allowed to play defense. Let’s not act like mayfield eclipsed some holy mark or nothing. He was on a losing team, that was behind a lot. And let’s not forget Chubb who made them into an actual nfl offense. Before him they were garbage. After about week 10 with chubbs big breakout is when they started to roll. Not downgrading mayfield but that TD rookie stat is no big deal

I think given the stage of their team it’s a mistake. Had all this craziness about Murray not been in the news non stop Arizona probably could of traded out of 1, got extra picks and stayed in the top 5 and still get Murray. I’m not sure many teams want him and would mortgage the future draft picks to move up so high. They have sooooooo many needs I would HATE to be a fan of that team. Murray had better be a top 5 quarterback before his rookie deal ends or they’re probably in for a very very long rebuild

EDGE/pass rusher is the key to defense. Ask Luke Kuechly... Who is the best linebacker in football.. Without a pass rush everyone else is left on an island and in a PASSING league you can’t cover for more than 3-4 seconds. That dominant middle line backer spoken of rarely rushes the passer. It’s great kuechly can have 175 tackles every year, but it’s also pointless if they’re all tackles past the line of scrimmage. Quarterback and pass rusher will be the most important positions for a long time with the state of the game. Issue is you now need 2 pass rushers at elite level. A pass rush makes everyone look good.
