Id take a flyier on the wr from WV Wheaton. Reminds me of Martavious Bryant

Last year they let Klien walk and expected a decision between Milano and Edmunds. Buffalo needed a player that would fit their scheme in a meaningful way in 23. Spector was a late rd pick who would be for depth. Now we know no Edmunds. They are planning for that to be Bernard. Spector could help save money by surpassing Matekevich. Right now Williams could pass Klien as the third Backer. If Bernard is not able to perform at Mike Williams could. Moving forward I dont expect Mcdermott to play defense like he has Edmunds and Milano. I could see a move to more what he did in Carolina more multiple. Having 3 linebakers on the field that can run cover and blitz. Williams and Bernard are similar to Shaq Thompson and Thomas Davis in size and speed. With Rapp more 3 saftey looks seems likley as well.

Its all eye of the beholder. My point is right now internet Bills mafia is very group think centric. Cover 1 and Joe Marino provide alot of good Bills content. They are also leading the neg reaction to Williams. He isnt on there big boards. Ok other draft pundits love the pick and the player.

Ok. At the end of the day they will put the best 2 on the field. They want it to be Milano and Bernard right now. If Bernard doesnt step up I think Williams would be given a chance. I dont expect any GM or proclaim there 3 rd pick is starting day 1. If they do that roster is subpar.

What linebaker coming out didnt struggle getting off blocks? He is smaller than Simpson, Sanders, and Campbell but none of them were good in this area. I think they get to a point were the 2 linebakers are interchangeable. If Bernard doesn't become the Mike, Williams will be the next guy given a shot.

Jones is still on the board…. Why is he a better prospect?

They are completely differant players but one thing both guards invested in this offseason have in common is anchor. Both Mcgovern and Torrance have great anchors in pass pro. I think Bates moves back to utility 6th Lineman.

He is an off the ball linebacker that brings the wood when he tackles and has traits to make you think he could become good in coverage. What mental gymnastics were required here? Cover 1 didnt like him or Joe Marino?

This.

Bernard week 1 or Williams at the bye.

This pick is the problem with amateur scouts. No one has mentioned him therefore not a good pick. I like the way he plays. I think coaching staff is giving Bernard Dodson and Spector a legit shot at Mike. If no one take the job I think Williams sooner or later takes it. 6-1 225 is average height and weight for a 2023 linebaker. All the elite bakers are at or under 230. I could see them playing 4-3 over with Milano on the line with Bernard and Williams off Ball. Adding a linebaker was important. He may not be your guy but the negatives are not much different than the “higher” ranked guys.

The action of catching a ball thrown to them yes they are equal. The action leading up to that action they are not close. Mayer is a contested catch Te because he never separated in coverage. Kincaid is a superior route runner. Knox will be deployed the same way he has been.

Great now you run the ball. The 6 ft 190 guy who is play press now let the 6-3 245 guy beat him up in the run game. Thats dictating to the defense. Make them declare themselves one way or another. The book has been written on the Bills offense for years now. The Bills offense has become predictable. Allen is good enough to where most the time it doesnt matter. Kincaid adds scheme and formation flexibility and fluidity.

Alot of solid players. Go BPA. No need to reach for position. I could see any position not Qb Rb Te or Cb. I think the linebacker from Washington St is slept on in Bills circles who will be in play as-well.

Diggs Davis Knox Kincaid Cook. Buffalo can run every modern NFL formation at any time without substituting.

Day 3 I could see Buffalo drafting a back to add depth and play teams. He is one I would target.

Who is trading up?

If they dont go Wr I bet they go edge. Nolan Smith would be a interesting addition.

Having Hunt Hill Kelcle and Ried wasnt Ivory Jones and Clay. Mahomes would have faced a similar road that Allen had.

Not reaching for a linebaker.

Both Safeties are in their 30’s. Poyer coming off multiple injuries and Hyde is coming back from a spinal injury. He fits our style of play from the position. I could see more 3 saftey and big nickel with Rapp on the roster.

Agreed. In the spring work on sliding and getting out of bounds. Have Allen play his game during the season. Leave Allen rushing for 50 plus yards for the playoffs.

He is going to scramble. Have him look for yards than get down or out of bounds. He is telling Dorsey no more Allen power right in September.

I think LB is a need a but not a necessity. Get more multiple on defense. Milano and Edmunds we both too good to take off the field. Nickel was the best guys playing but it also made them predictable. They put on tape every wrinkle they could come up with. Using more dime, more 4-3 I think will actually make the defense better.

They fell into some FAs that turned out to be leaders of the franchise. Hyde and Poyer feel like home grown guys but were bargin FAs who became stars. Overall, Beane’s drafts are becoming questionable but his ability to find lower FAs has offset the depth.
