  1. Usage. The concern is how much life does he have in his legs. 299 carries as a freshman. Last 2 years over 300 a year. Thats an insane amount of carries. First rd you are talking about guaranteed money and total money he is getting. Taylor is gifted but how long will he play? 4,5 years? First rders are usually foundational pieces for successful franchises. Spending a first on a guy you expect to only have for his rookie deal is steep in many peoples minds.
  2. You would have to get elite production out of Taylor for his first 3 yeara. Imo he is a 1 contract back. The carries he had at Wisconsin will catch up to him. Now he is a speciel talent but 900 carries in todays day and age is unheard of. A high pick for assume 4 years is too much imo. 3rd or 4th? I more inclined to do it.
  3. Hopefully, Juedy or Lamb fall because of the 40s. Speeds important. Getting open is another thing.
  4. Knox and Sweeney makes Te a position that can be upgraded but not a nessecity. I think Knox has the potential to a top 10 te. There are things he needs to work on but his talent is real. Olsen, would be similar to Gore last year. He is an immense upgrade over Lee Smith. He can play and be a revieving threat in any formation.
  5. Agreed. I think he can be a core teamer he easily replaces Perry on the roster. He has something with the ball in his hands. The plays they gave Mckenzie last year I would like to see how he would perform with those plays.
  6. Running back is a feel and instictual position. After a year of football submerssion I think he is a real dark hourse. Now, he will need to make his money on teams to do so.
  7. SF paid massive deals to 2 Rbs. Mckinnion couldnt stay healthy and paid Coleman 40 mil. Buffalo has a bag of cash. Singeltary is very good, imo though he is limited to 15 to 20 touches. Another guy in the backfield is needed. Whether it be FA or draft its happening. I could see Swift, now with the caveat the more premier positions are gone ie OT, De. I know Wr will be the wanted pick. At that point it comes down to BPA a RB could be that.
  8. Having another competant Rb is an offseason need. Gores lack of effectiveness negativley effected the offense from the middle of October on. Singletary is good for 15 to 20 touches. Buffalo needs someone who can be on the field for half of the game at the Rb position. Yeldon is a good 3rd option.
  9. Olsen is a massive improvement over Smith. Olsen is a very good blocker. When healthy Olsen still can play. Knox imo isnt ready to be the starter but hes close. Learning to be a complete Te from one of the best to do it has worth.
  10. At some point as industry leaders, they will not be ok being the worst anything in the NFL at anything. Right now Buffalo is severly behind in stadium quality by every measure. I think they are forward thinkers, moving into a new stadium opens alot of doors and avenues they will never have access to in New Era.
  11. What makes you think that? Browns, Rams, Raiders, Chargers, Oilers, and Colts all moved for the same reason.
  12. New Era stadium is near the bottom of the league. Its time for an upgrade. Whats the market analysis say when a small market loses its franchise? Without a stadium the Bills leaves.
  13. On the cheap, I would do it. Now, he has alot of off the feild stuff. Will he be suspended again for the traffic stop incident? If available he is a top 5 back in the NFL. Would pair nicley with Singletary. The amount of money he would command would be peanuts compared to what he could offer the offense.
  14. Imo, PFF put some of those Qbs above Allen to click bait Bills fans. Allen was the 2nd best Qb out of his draft class last year. He looks poised to make a leap in year 3.
  15. I see it like drafting Ford last year. If Ford doesnt make it as a RT he we still make a good Guard. With Shenault if say he has a start of his career like Zay Jones outside. He could very well be a pro bowl level returnman, and a dynamic gadget guy on offense. Zay you cut ties with, Shenault still gives you value. Mckenzie made a few plays, but also left others on the feild. Shenault in that position is a real problem for defenses and has the size to make the plays down field Mckenzie could not. The more you can do. You got Jeudy and Lamb then there is everyone else imo. Shenualt needs to learn the X and in the mean time adds a playmaker you design plays for.
  16. Pretty disappointed. Last year had a great experience going to the Miami game. Living in Florida im planning on going every year now. Losing out on that game would be a bummer. However, if they can get a stand alone morning game I dont hate it.
  17. I think that's an over simplification of him as a wr. He played all over the formation. I'm not a scout but from what I read he is exactly what you want from an X. He is what people wanted Cordelle Patterson to become. I dont see them getting Jeudy or Lamb, outside of them every prospect is going to have something. For me he is too unique not to take a shot with. Worst case scenario he is Cordelle Patterson. He can replace Robert's on the roster, also add a big play dimension to the offense and replace McKenzie. 2 roster spots just opened up else where. I think Shenault is going to be very good. I like his after the catch running ability. Given the opportunity to learn a position he could really flourish. This time of year I learn height weight speed. Barring prerequisite protection. Round 1 I'm looking for the freakiest dudes available.
  18. To beat Wastson, Mahomes, and Jadckson having a freak on the defensive line is going to be needed. I know Buffalo needs offensive weapons. I believe Buffalo needs a premier player as well. With the cap space Buffalo possesses they have the ability to get any FA. In FA go to 1. Where the talent is 2. Where value is. Clowney is a top talent.
  19. I think you can find a Lb that pushes Milano more. Having 3 guys who can play 3 downs adds more to the defense as well. A group of very good teams run the ball well and alot. I think if Buffalo found an improvement over Milano the defense takes a step up, and the run defense improves.
  20. The overall point imo is that Allen made enough plays to win. The playmakers left a good amount of yards on the field. As good as Brown was this year, he makes an incredible 2 or 1A. A good Wr opposite Brown makes the offense and passing attack more dynamic. This years draft class is deep. My understanding, Marquis Brown who was the first Wr taken in 19, would be 4th or 5th wr this year. I think Buffalo signs a vetran and Drafts one early. Smoke had a tremendous year. Him and Beasley having near or career years, shows the progress Allen had made as a passer. Brown, Beasley, Knox, and Singeltary are a solid base to an offense. I'm not satisfied with them overall but improving and adding to them makes the offense seem more promising. Having a guy outside to share the load of the passing attack helps, Brown and Beasley. Bringing in another back to keep Singletary fresh while also not limiting the offense is also a must. I also, like the idea of bringing in an upgrade over Kroft so the team can go hurry up in 2 Te sets. Assuming they are athletic and versatile as Knox.
  21. Beane will add a vetran to every need area. In FA they have the ability to pick their guy. Money, culture, winning, facility. Now, who will that target be? I could see multiple ways this could go. Wr, Rb, Oline, Dline, Lb, Db. AJ Green if available could make sense. I could see Melvin Gordon being a good compliment with Singletary. Hooper or Henry at Te would fit the up tempo scheme. Taking the next step on defense by adding an impact player at any level wouldn't be surprising either. This year the offseason is about making a contender. An upgrade at one of many positions and Buffalo is playing KC this weekend.
  22. I dont understand not playing Foster. Games they got him involved vs an occasional deep ball he popped to me. He can do all the McKenzie stuff but adds more outside.
  23. Laviska Shenualt Wr Colorado or De'andre Swift Rb Georgia. Rd 1.
  24. Young, good, core is growing and improving. A few peices improving a couple position turns Buffalo into a real contender. I think Wr, Rb, Ot, LB and Cb are brought in and the draft improves team depth. I expect Beane to bring in vets at all of those positions and 1 or 2 of them high profile players.
  25. The dropped pick was on the Wr and the screen he threw a missle that at worst would be tipped. That lateral would have been great if Knox expected it. That could have went for 6. But otherwise idiotic but did save time on the clock.
