Mr. GB: I saw a mock recently that had the Bills drafting Zavon while JOK was on the Board. What thinking would go into that preference? The hesitation about JOK being a tweener? The need to replace Milano?

I think now I was mistaken. The controversy nagging in the back of my mind I think was a recruiting violation that was not the fault of the player. In looking at CS also had some injury issues and a heart problem that required some tinkering. I apologize as I posted with just a nagging inkling and when I went to look it appears he is a good citizen.

I don't know where the money comes from but D. Williams; pass rush and speed on Offense are the FA needs. I like Curtis Samuel and think he is really breaking out in the next few years. Not sure if the FO likes him (some off the field red flags early in his career) and not sure if he wants to come to Buffalo. I think this is a player that would make the Bills even more difficult to defend. I would note that the Bills were not an offensive juggernaut in the playoffs this year. I think Curtis Samuel is a difference maker.

I have thought about some of this and have an opinion. My opinion is that this team, long term, is about QB 17 - Our Josh. That having been established in my mind, I think further that OL and the protection of this central theme will be high priority this off-season. Thus, I believe that a very solid effort will be made to sign the RT - Williams this off season. And that #30, or thereabouts, will be an IOL. If they add to that again later I would not be surprised.

I think his career, so far, is as successful as Michel's.

I don't think I am as disappointed as I usually am when I see an ex-Panther most likely destined for Buffalo. Pretty good player isn't he?

A pass rusher is a must.

Good read. Thanks

I think Herbert is real good and LAC are going to the battle

I understand this isn't a draft thread but have seen Zavon, Basham, K Toney and Najee mentioned herein. Is there an opinion on JOK? I have seen mocks where he is on the board at 30. At WR Davis was pretty good for a rookie but speed would be nice and Brown wasn't the same when he came back this time. The cap is going to cause some tough decisions.

What about JOK with ND? He seems like a fit. I have seen him anywhere from 16 to the 2nd round. I don't watch College Football and pick up on the subject about now. What do the Board experts think about this possibility? Thank you.

I think Staley will make the Playoffs his first year and win a Super Bowl eventually (if any of them do). He has the QB. And some studs on defense already. The roster is pretty good. Culley may be one and done. Lawrence will start at QB week one and I don't think any of those guys will ever coach the Bills.

I also think the Bills have gone Prime Time and see at least 4 night games. Maybe 5? Much of the road "out of division" schedule looks, at this time, like marquee matchups.

Good work Virgil. I think both the Colts and the Chiefs beat us at the line of scrimmage. Their guys were constantly in the back field harassing Josh but we never came close to their guy. Mahomes being much better than Rivers, at this point, really capitalized and Josh struggled. I don't like to be negative but Devin is just so slow to what holes were there, it caused me to pull my hair out. The drop was a total disaster moment. The season was great. Just the best in forever and I hope we can get back next year. I am convinced, however, that our AFC East is going to be much, much stronger next year. Including the Patriots, whose defense is going to be very good. I love the 1/11 thing and it is an important philosophy but I think we need one stud-difference maker on that front 7. From somewhere, somehow we have to get big plays on the opposing QB. I like Invisible Ed and I guess he does an ok job there in the middle of the line, but I also don't see AJ Epenesa as an impact player. Both just OK rotation guys. Beane is really going to have to be a master, this year, in roster construction. So many big decisions and drafting later than we have in about 30 years 2020 is going to be a tough act to follow for our Buffalo Bills.

I do not like to be negative, but how many plays has the guy made in 3 years? Is he ever in the backfield? Can we count his interceptions on one hand? I am not an expert but he seems like just another guy, not a high paid second contract type.

That is my appellation for #91- "Invisible Ed".

Now is the time to rise to the occasion, to keep climbing. Go Bills. Amped up!!

Different Campbell. Mark was a TE we acquired from the Saints.

I think Jax is all Urban and Mr. Baalke is just there to advise and provide info from the scouts. I think Urban has final say and roster control

I think this is good news. For Patrick and for the Bills. We want them at their best.

He played for the Bills a few years didn't he? I think we traded a 4th rounder for him in the early 90's.

The time is now. Our destiny is before us. No fear, my brothers. The Bills can handle this task. Big time game this week, get psyched!!

Thanks Shaw. I think that is a great point about the OL not drifting downfield on the Knox touchdown. Tough win, but the time is now. Need to be ready to be better against the next opponent

I think that I prefer 39Levi to 29Norman. Couldn't figure why 29Norman was getting so many snaps I think that Colts played extremely well. Especially with the field position advantage throughout the first half I was very frustrated that we could never get home to Rivers and he kept shot putting those lopsided ducks to the tight ends for first downs. The Colts meanwhile had constant pressure on Josh. I have been thinking that the draft class has been good. 13Gabriel and 2Tyler are real good. ZMoss20 made a huge contribution, 57 is coming on a little bit, and Dane Jackson has been pretty good when called upon. For anyone who Billieves the time is now and the Bills can rise to grasp that destiny - well I would second that emotion

Excellent Thank You
