I got McDermott on a 15 year contract. Beane I'd go with the two year clock. I'd actually get ride of him, or layer him with a former player or coach turned scout as a football operations guy after this season, if it were me. Especially if his FA signings are huge busts again.

So far Beane has more failures as free agents then successes so we'll see is the appropriate answer.

I'd say Wood was as good or better than Morse, but we'll see. I have yet to see him as the Bills C. People love undervaluing players they don't like or have no use for any longer and overvaluing players the do. Wood was damn good and held the Oline together by himself. Teams will still load the box. This is a hard season to judge though because they're too many new players on offense.

Eric Wood was a pretty damn good player at C.

He's not as shifty as Cooper Kupp?

Sills, Easley, Beasley. All competing for the slot IMO. Hopefully sure hands in the middle of the field with big speed outside. I love it. It's finally a type. We haven't had a type in 25 years.

Juwan Foggie, LB Charlotte Tyrel Dodson, LB Texas A&M Vosean Joseph LB Florida It's just good to finally have a type. I hope they keep McDermott for 15 years.

Or John Cominsky for me. I'd take either.

Plus people want a "big receiver" when it's clear they're building a speed team on the outside with the big threats being the TEs in the middle. I don't think they want a traditional possession receiver.

Just understanding Tom Coughlin and the way he drafts, it would shock me if he didn't take Oliver himself. I could see and make a case for him taking everyone of the top 5 DT at 7.

As long as it's not a RB, DB or WR at 9 I'm good with it.

Could also be smoke by teams who want him to make it to or past 9.

How about Jason Peters? Jake Matthews? Taylor Lewan?

Jeffery Simmons.

3. Mack Wilson 6. Daniel Wise

Yeah they probably have 20 or 30 players in each round they'd draft. They probably seen all players but don't have them on their board because they won't draft them even if they're available.

Actually it would be better for Milano because he would assume the role Shaq Thompson and Derrick Brooks played. He would be used more in coverage and have more opportunities to make plays on the ball. He'd be used less on the LOS which would be a benefit to his career because he doesn't have the size to be a full time player down there. Plus they could disguise more plays and stay out of big nickel by using him as the big safety.

The cover 2 MIKE is a converted safety position where you have to be better in coverage then a traditional MLB. (So whoever plays there has to be a coverage player.) On the outside they use a Sam who they want to line up Stacked next to the MIKE. Majority of the time in Cover 2 and Cover 3 the way they use the Stack for the Sam is to line him up in the middle and play in the A gap. He has to play on the LOS. Bills don't have this player. They use Zo at times. Stack is just the lineup. Look at the Panthers and Thomas Davis, that's the player they need more on defense. A true Stack player which White would be and a 3tech. Just google cover 2 MIKE and you'll see what I mean about Edmunds being better for the MIKE then White. Look here. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/1/12/14236950/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-head-coach-4-3-defense-all-22 Look for player 58. That's the player White would be for the Bills. This is the Panther lineups before we hired McDermott so it's his coaching.

He isn't a one trick pony. He can play with strength. That writeup is why they believe he can't play nose, in a 2 gap or at the 5 spot. It has nothing to do with him being a one gap 3.

This entire writeup of his weaknesses is dependent on the type of defense you run. Most of the defenses they're talking about with length and 2gap and strength won't matter because we don't play in a 34 or in a 2gap system. For the Bills he'd be an inside pass rusher. The only things that matter in this entire writeup are down blocks and reach blocks. The rest is irrelevant.

OKAY, he is a difference maker and there will be no weak spots in the linebacker corp. With our good defensive backs the defense should be outstanding. Now, what about defensive tackle? I would want Oliver but if he is gone, we will be down a tier in defensive tackles and there are a lot of high ceiling 3-technique guys with decent floors available later in the draft that we don't have to reach for. For example: (comments copied from walter football) I see no reason why he couldn't move to the interior. :: We could get a short term 1 year rental of a veteran while these DT develop or just go with the Phillips and some rookie DT's. About defensive tackles, please look at who try to but a value on "disruptive value" a.k.a. (sacks + tackles for loss) per game. Oliver, Saunders, and Zack Allen look pretty good there.https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2019/4/10/18300761/finding-the-superior-athlete-impact-defensive-tackles-in-the-2019-nfl-draft People with this view of Edmunds really don't have any understanding of our defense. The Bills actually play a stacked outside leverage where they actually need two MLBs for the defense to work properly. One has to be a long cover backer who can take away the middle of the field in coverage. Like Brian Urlacher or Luke Kuechly. The MLB position Edmunds plays is actually a large safety position in this defense. The Outside stack is actually the true MLB and he has to be able to cover and make play at or behind the LOS. Like Thomas Davis or Lance Briggs. If the Bills draft Devin White it would not be a shock. He is a perfect fit for their stack outside position.

What really happened: AB laughed in Beane's face.

They just need to draft better overall. Develop their own talent. I haven't seen many teams cheat their way to the top by signing a bunch of FA. That is not how you win.

I can post whatever I want. Just because you don't like what I post doesn't mean I can't post it. If you want the source search for it. It's not hard to find.

Keep digging.
