Correct, but Mike and Qb have been a need for awhile. Nickel backs are a little easier to come by.

Yes, I would agree. Imo they hit on Allen and Edmunds. This offseason is what makes Beane. He has 80 mil in the bank and a top 10 pick without needing a Qb. Let's see what hes got.

Agree, but if you have so little faith in the starter that you replace him at halftime of game 1 why do it. I thought is was a Bill Obrien oldschool decision. When you walk to the field watch Allen practice and Petterman practice nothing said Petterman played football better.

Yes, they just signed OBJ. He is in his prime, he gets traded this time last year if ever. The real question is Ab. As a late rd pick he might fit McDermotts mold more than you think. I wouldn't be against it. Depends more on the compensation that his behavior. Buy low kind of deal. Swap 1s or a 2.

Swap 1s for brown. Instead of trading down for a day 2 pick trade down for the best wr in football.

I agree with alot of it. I'm not sold on Hockinson that high. It's an argument if he is the best TE from Iowa. With the way the draft is setting up I agree about the trade down but I would go Wr. Marquis Brown or Dk Metcalf. They are the best deep threats in the draft and I want to give Allen an elite deep threat. Everything else I agree just flip Wr for Te. I really wish they just named Allen the starter after the Cleveland game. That was 3 weeks of practice lost and he played 30 mins into the season anyways.

Agree. Allen ran best off script. Limit his hits and usage. Outside of sneaks I would not call a run play for Allen. Hopefully, Buffalo's offense improves and they have a run game that wont need Allen making as many plays with his legs.

Maybe hiring a young guy for HC without any strong NFL connections might be a poor choice?? Lewis was a lid on a dumpster fire that has been Cincinnati.

He was paid as a top 10 te but at this point is a 2te in an Hback role. Makes sense. There are a fair amount of draftable te this year. I would like buffalo to bring in a vet and use a day 2 pick on one. I wouldn't be against picking one early if Buffalo is able to pick up an extra 2nd.

Good or bad rookie is not going determine how the individual players career will be. What gives me optimism is he was the best player on offense by any level of measure when he returned from his injury. In a few games I will go as far as to say he was the best player on the field. He is not where he needs to be but I see a possible incredible future. How is he protected and developed going forward will be the question.

Comes down to how Bodine recovers from his injury. I felt like he was serviceable and noticeably better than Groy. I could also see Buffalo drafting a center with a trade down or on day 3. Long at worst is an upgrade at RG. That's about as much as one could ask for 2 weeks before the combine. I think Buffalo still needs another interior lineman and a OT. Long imo allows them to target a guy at Center or Guard instead of needing both or one instead of the other. Basically, figure out who the best fit and player is and go after them regardless of position.

Humphries is intriguing. With the wrs they brought in via late in the draft Proehl and Mccloud, and the utilization of McKenzie down the stretch slot is definitely a position of importance in the teams passing attack. Having a legit sure handed slot reciever would be a need Imo. I think Humpries, Beasley and Tate would be worth bringing vs any of the top available outside wrs. You could potentially get one of the aforementioned and a TE for the money Williams may cover. Where Buffalo is sitting I would go slot and TE in FA and draft a few outside guys and a rb come April.

Buy low. There is enough here to make his market soft. Land Brown with 2 or 3 and that's a win. Pittsburgh is up against it and do not have any real leverage.

Basically, Buffalo is hoping for the guy from Washington not the guy who played in NY. Seems like there were mitigating circumstances to explain some of his poor play. I wouldn't pencil him in as a starter but has the ability to play g or center. Gives them some flexibility in FA and the draft.

No. His value is not that high. Out right 2019 2nd or swap of firsts and that will do it.

I think Mixon and Hill have shown that if it happwns early in College or before it largely falls onto deaf ears on the national stage. Sure it will make a local headline the day of the draft but after will be forgotten. Not condoning the behavior but also wont hold anything against man for what he did as a teenager.

Still based off potential Edmund's gets re drafted in the top 20. Late in the year he showed his ability to be elite vs pass. At the POA in the run that will come with experience and growth. He still is not physically mature yet. Once he plays consistently with leverage and power look out.

That would be a very good draft. I think they go heavy in offense in the draft to establish a core. I think their is a core in place on defense. I wouldn t be surprised if the biggest name brought in during FA is on defense. That seems to be where the biggest bang for your buck lies.

I dont see Rudolph being cut. Just because they save money doesn't mean they will. As a run first mindset Zimmer would be against it. Rudolph is an above average blocker and a top 5 receiving TE. As a Bill's fan, I'm all for it. I think teams understand that casual football fans like offense and fantasy football. Getting quality premier players in their prime on offense will be extremely rare.

It is interesting that the article is being written like the Steelers hold all the card in the negotiations. Brown is a malcontent for them. It's a situation where its Brown or Tomlin. Honestly, with Browns salary, age and perception around the league a high second takes him down. In a pretty deep wr class many rebuilding teams wont want the attention and the demand Brown will put on the Qb, offense, and coaching staff. If I was Beane, I would offer a trade up scenerio. Swap first rd picks for Brown. A 2020 day 3 or day 2 pick based off of 2019 production for Brown.

As a number 2 he would be very effective. He is more a h-back than a guy you flex out. He is a reliable blocker. He is the opposite of Kelce. Clay doesn't threaten the defense vertically and doesnt make the above the rim type plays. The issue here is that he is paid as a top 10 to 15 te and he is not that guy. What Clay is owed, it's a real stretch envisioning a scenerio where he is retained on his current contract.

I think Wr will be the pick. The top guys are going to go higher than some of the pundits expect.

From a schematic standpoint on defense? Yes. He is a football genius. Parcells imo showed how to turn that into action. From an ability to build a Championship caliber football team? No. Parcells had an exceptional eye for talent. Especially, 3-4 front 7.

I agree. There are 3 to 4 good options that will be available on day 2. Having a big target over the middle and down the seem will be a good pairing with Allen's strengths.

I'm not advocating trading for a #1. Though I wouldn't hate it. Williams is a nice Wr. He is a solid possession wr. Is he worth 4 year 40? No he is not. That is low end #1 money. I think he is worth half that. Buffalo has 8 picks. 2 in the first 41. The Wr crop is actually very good. Buffalo can draft a guy at 41 who will give you everything Williams brings and more. Hakeem Butler, Jj Arrcen-Whiteside are 2 that come to mind. In FA I would look for Olineman and a Te. Then low end Wrs and Rbs. Imo the draft is deep with both no need to over pay in FA for either this offseason. I see the need for the offense for sure just think it's a better allocation of resources.
