Hot take city.
As others have said, he isn't near the top, but he is hardly the worst.
This was a playoff team last year if Rex wasn't trying to save Rob's reputation.
If they decide to go QB in the 1st, how could anyone complain? Any one of the big 4 could pan out, and we haven't had a true franchise qb since Bledsoe.
You have to keep trying.
The Bills always pass on good prospects because they have a guy who is good enough.
That said, it all depends on how they view Trubisky. If they think he's a franchise guy, take him.
I'm pretty excited. Sure, it could be another middlin' year - but I continue to feel good about McDermott. I think he's the X factor that gets us over the top.
Didn't you know? (Insert gm or coach here) is that you? was retired from the Internet, along with starting any sentence with either "um" or a sarcastic "but...but...I thought".
Not an intellectually honest question. EJ is a bust, but I still don't fault the pick that much. We had to draft a qb, and it's not like anyone else from that draft was great.
I think Seymour is a steal, and Washington played well last year. You can look at almost any draft pick for any team and find guys that were picked later who played better.
Ragland probably should have gone in the 1st. If he's a dominant LB, we won't miss those picks.
His drafts have been solid. I saw one article in a Dallas paper that ranked the last 3 drafts and had the Bills in the top 10.
Every player from last year's draft is on the roster. Lawson, Ragland and Seymour will all start. Washington and Listenbee will be significant contributors. What more can you ask ?
This has been his best FA period, imo. I really didn't think we'd be able to do anything, but he did a nice job of clearing cap and bringing in a lot of depth. If the can sign Brown, it really narrows down what they need to address in the draft.
Time to follow the model that brought our division rivals 5 rings.
They're going all in this year. But prior to that, their rule was to never overpay, and to build quality depth. Better to have 3 guys at 5 million than 1 guy at 15 million.
We have a clear #1. Holmes and Brown are both legit #3 guys, and Holmes could step in as a 2 in case of injury. And we have plenty of depth/competition for the 4 and 5.
Just have to draft a 2.
My gut says we break the drought this year. Resigning Taylor is big, and they have built a lot of depth in the past few weeks.
Having a real coach is also good for a few wins.
I'd put Holmes a notch above jag, but agree - I'll be surprised if they don't snag a WR in the 1st 2 rounds.
I think they try to trade down to get an extra pick, too.
