Im not a fan of Higgins. Im not a scout though. Height, weight, speed there are better prospects imo. Route running there are better prospects. In terms of production there are more prolific wrs. I dont see him as a day 1 player, but him paired with another wr isnt a bad idea.

Outside of a few late rd flyiers, they havent brought in a top prospect yet. Pro scouting, they did a very good job of identify Jon Brown and Cole Beasley last year. First year under Beane was more house cleaning and cleaning the cap mess. Last year with all the addition the team seemed to hit more than they missed in FA. The draft was also solid. Im curious to see what they covet in a wr. This year you can really pick your flavor with how deep it is.

Im curius to see who they bring in FA. I believe they go edge or LB in round 1. Day 2 i think they get multiple skill players on offense.

Simple as out going FA vs in coming FA. Players, cut dont count into it the formula. If Buffalo hits on this offseason. Ie draft and FA, I think this will be the last year Buffalo has more incoming vs outgoing Fa.

Allen didnt fit into any of their models. From a pure numbers perspective Allen is suppose to bust and have 0 NFL success based off their projections. They will never talk about his strengths if there is even a bit of weakness. PFF is grasping for straws with Allen at this point.

Fits the mold of a modern NFL backer. Would add more speed to the linebacker core. This would make alot of sense.

You pay a Qb a year early. Now Dak has all the power. Hes coming off a career year, Mahomes is going to reset the market. 50 to 60 mil? Dak is going to want 40.

Both. I think for the right price they trade down. I also think discussions about Haskins are real. Tua is a better Qb than Haskins. Rivera would want a leader on offense and that is Tua not Haskins.

Afraid? No. Big money for a Rb is still relativley low on the in the overall spectrum of money. Ironicly, with the growing trend of drafting Rb vs signing them. I think value is swinging to signing one. Singeltary is good but seems better in a limited touch basis. The offense needs a lead back imo. Buffalo can get more impact vs the money at Rb compared to any position this year.

This is a perfect no risk signing. No different than if Olsen signed here. Norman is a perfect fit for the defense. If he doesnt have it anymore? It wont effect much.

This is important, but find the line were great stops. Some drafts have 5, some 12 some 15. After a certain point getting more day 2 picks vs 1 late first makes alot of sense.

I agree but most drafts dont have 22 studs in it. Buffalo needs a significant increase in offensive weapons. Im not convinced that there is a significant difference in impact from pick. 22 to 50. If there is than absolutely take him at 22. If you get to pick up an extra pick in the top 50 I would do it.

In a draft full of good wrs it doesnt take much to fall behind a good amount of other players. Higgins hurt himself. The draft is deep. Outside of one of Buffalos top 15 players being availbe at 22 the best move is to trade down. Get as many day 2 picks as possible.

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.

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.

Hopefully, Juedy or Lamb fall because of the 40s. Speeds important. Getting open is another thing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What makes you think that? Browns, Rams, Raiders, Chargers, Oilers, and Colts all moved for the same reason.

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.
