  1. Weight isn't everything. Jordan Phillips was over 330lbs and got pushed in the run game a lot. If he's 295lbs and can still absorb the blocks so be it.
  2. I would agree less likely unless someone unexpected drops to them. Maybe Sweat at 60 would be good value? I do expect another guy drafted at some point though. Day 3 type.
  3. I have a hunch that after today anyone wanting Dobbins may need to look elsewhere. This fit with Roman being there makes a lot of sense. They have already inked Gus Edwards and look to add.
  4. Yes, in some ways when the discussion of center pops up it reminds me of the MLB debate from last year. The fans had convinced themselves that Beane was bluffing and we would be taking a LB early. Then it never materialized and it turned out the team was pretty set in their mind at the spot Same with Center this year. Trade Bates. Cut Morse. So obviously there's a hole there. But again, I really feel like this was the plan dating back to last year. Bringing in McGovern and Edwards and then getting Edwards snaps as the OL6 guy. I could see them taking a G/C type in later rounds....but I really believe they believe in the OL the way they have it presented. Of course, it also wouldn't shock me if we brought in Brian Allen from the Rams either. Just 28 and played under Kromer. Seems like if center is a question still...that may be where they look.
  5. I think what we have seen with Fields is what we would have seen from Lamar Jackson had the Ravens not brought in Greg Roman and designed an offense around his strengths. The Bears more or less plunked Fields in their offense and even made waves saying they wanted him to play more from the pocket. That's insane with a guy that has Fields skillset. The 2 biggest problems I have with Fields game is that he fumbles way too much and that he still looks like the same passer he was coming out of college. He hasn't really developed yet as a passer. Now, if that's on him or coaching failing to get him to the next steps...I have no idea. But I have suspicion the staff in Chicago was ill equipped to elevate his game. Can Arthur Smith be the one to get the most out of him as a passer? He did have Ryan Tannehill looking serviceable for some time in Tennessee.
  6. I actually like Fields. He's entertaining to watch. He's fantastic for fantasy football. However, real world football...he just doesn't have what it takes to win at the NFL level IMO. Wilson is what he is at this point in his career. I'd compare him to a glorified Tyrod Taylor. He'll be safe with the ball, he's going to make a play here and there but he's not carrying the team to a win. However with their defense and running game they can still make some noise and hopefully take a few games away from Cincinnati, Cleveland and Baltimore.
  7. And that's also playing into why we have been signing quite a few former Washington Commanders over the years. Just this year we grab Toohill and Samuel. Signed Crowder and went after that RB that changed his mind and went back to Washington. Kyle Allen played for both Washington and Carolina. It's a fairly common practice around the league. Heck look at all the former Bills brought in by Daboll for the NYG.
  8. I almost feel like Roman Wilson is a potential Bills draft pick as he's one guy I see almost no one talk about.
  9. If he's still unemployed come June 2nd I wouldn't be shocked to see Beane target Ogbah. The Bills were in on him just 2 years ago before we signed with Miami. And Beane loves to circle back on guys they missed out on prior.
  10. Lots of "my guys" are already mentioned to include the WRs and T'Vondre Sweat. But now here's a guy.... Would like to take a late round pick and see if we can turn Milton into a long term cheap backup plan.
  11. I hear the Jags are trying to book P. Diddy for the National Anthem for opening day.
  12. Yes, he had that game where he was really good as a receiver that helped. But even in the game you mentioned he averages just over 3 yards per carry. I'd point blame to the Patriots OL as well, however he was only slightly worse than the season before with the Cowboys. While you keep pointing out he was the "number 2" and that he didn't start...he still out touched the starter on the season. 235-194 was the final split between Zeke and Stevenson. He wasn't the #2. Is he the best option out there? I hardly think so. He's showed for years those tires are balding out. I also think it's telling that despite Jerry Jones loving him, him loving Dallas and the Cowboys having literally nothing in the RB room Zeke still sits on the open market.
  13. Zeke averaged a whopping 3.5 yards per carry last year. Down a bit from the 3.8 yards per carry he had the year before. And just over 6 yards per reception. I would say the "Zeke is washed" arguments have some merit to them.
  14. I don't want them to be on it, but if they are I would watch. And I would rather they were on the in season one.
  15. I mean, I agree with what you're saying...but you do realize watching live is optional, right? You can just focus on family, record the game and watch later or the next day.
  16. It will definitely play into the roster construction. I also think the Bills are counting on some younger/cheaper options on ST as well. Hamlin played a ton of ST last year and got some experience. Shorter is supposed to be a heck of a gunner. Changing the kickoff rules is a small part of the ST though. You still have punt coverage, kick and punting teams in addition to the EP/FG unit. Can't drain the well entirely of those style of guys. Minimize, maybe.
  17. Not really. He moves up for one of the last remaining players with a 1st round grade. Of course I believe the Allen trade was different. That's a lot different than saying "I need a ....." and moving up to where they are being taken. He has pretty much stayed true to his board and that's why people here keep yelling about certain picks at spots.
  18. It really shouldn't be much of a shock. That's been the way Brandon has run the draft almost every year since he's been here.
  19. I get your point on the onside kick rule and don't necessarily disagree. However, an extremely high percentage of the time everyone knows when the onside kick is coming anyway. Save for the maybe once a year someone tries a surprise onside on a kickoff not near the end of the game. My issue with the 4th and 20 becomes when the team is going for it and fails...but is able to convert due to a DPI, defensive holding the new "hip drop rule" or some other flag influenced by the officials with a judgement call. Would lead to wayyyyyyyyyy more scrutiny than it's worth IMO.
  20. It really does. Makes a guy that can operate in space almost like a stretch handoff more valuable. One problem I can see is if we see a lot of guys break that first wave the only person back to make a tackle is the kicker. Could we see an influx of kicker injuries this year from it? That would really shape the outcome of some games. Wonder if more teams will look to PS a kicker early in the season.
  21. It's only passed on a 1 season basis. They will review next off season if they will make it permanent. I personally think that's smarter as it gives them an entire season of actual gameplay to review things such as the overall impact on injuries, amount of returns ect rather than a 3 week window where a lot of guys are playing out of position and gives a minimal scope as to impact.
  22. I know some will hate it because "change bad" but I'm interested to see how this plays out. I like the idea of keeping returns relevant. Of course this would hit at a time where Buffalo doesn't have a clear "return specialist" rostered ..but let's see what the draft brings.
  23. Actually, according to reports the opposite is actually what occurred with Rodgers taking an interest in Wilson early, but like the Jets playoff hopes every year faded and crashed later on. https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/01/31/zach-wilson-relationship-aaron-rodgers-soured-over-jets-season-silliest-reasons
  24. Looks like he's no longer an option if the Bills were wanting a vet RB.
  25. Not to mention gave him almost nothing in protection on the OL.
