The "soft zone" fallacy continues...

No, I just used the straight draft info from Pro Football Reference
The Bills surely are better at 5th and 6th round selections than other teams, right? Matt Milano, Khalil Shakir, Tylan Grable, Christian Benford, Damar Hamlin, Dane Jackson, and Wyatt Teller.
All of those players range from at least decent (Hamlin and Jackson) up to great (Benford and Milano). There's nearly a hit in every draft. That seems really high to me. I know Grable hasn't really played yet, but all signs point to him being good, in my opinion.

Nice work. It would be interesting to see how trading for players factored into it, but that is a somewhat separate matter.

This suggestion makes no sense and is completely irresponsible
I don't think it is just irresponsible. I don't think it may even be possible. For one thing, whatever team we trade with in the top five knows that all of our future draft picks are going to be low in the round.
Basically, almost any other team can make a more favorable trade offer with draft picks. The Bills just can't get up that high, I don't think, unless they start trading away valuable players.

Not possible, really.

Why do you want Simmons then? 2024 was his first full season since 2021. I don't like PFF as metric on it's own, but he was pretty bad: 113th out of 171 safeties and 149th against the run. His tackle numbers (62) were his lowest since 2018 which include seasons where he missed games. His passes defensed went down despite playing a full slate of games. The Falcons defense regressed and ranked 24th in the league with him. So please explain to me why he'd be considered "Good" at this point of his career?
He's similar to Poyer and Hyde in their final years with the Bills... which is to say utterly done physically.
Didn't follow him last year, but if this is all true, that makes sense why nobody clamored to sign him this year OR last year.

Christian Benford if he keeps it up for another year.
For me it is Winfield, but as others have stated he was only here a short time.
Benford is really good. To be an all timer in Bills history, though, he has to keep it up for many more years and also become a guy who makes impact plays like turnovers. I think he will need to do that if he wants to get recognition by way of pro bowls, all pros, etc. But he has it in him for sure.

McGee was just a playmaker period. Wherever you put him. He made a **** ton of huge plays on the defensive side of the ball too. He was a serviceable cover corner, but also underrated was his tackling ability. 2004 he had 98 tackles alone. 4 TFL, 2 Sacks, 3 picks, 3 FF. Add his value as a returner. Very very underrated player of the drought era. I remember buying one his hats.He was a great player. Too bad it all came during the drought. He'd be seen as a top 5 corner in the NFL today if he was on the current Bills, especially since he'd have other players around him that can play on defense.

He was massively underrated here though
People called him a bum consistently throughout his career but I always was clamoring that Gilmore was a All-Pro on a bad team
One great corner doesn't make or break a team but he wasn't the reason we were bad.. I certainly did think he was a top corner even with the bills who got a bad rep
Like I'm not putting a rank on him one through five but he was a stud here.. he played with a club.. people used to question his toughness and he played with a broken hand lol
I agree he was a good corner here. But he seemed to always start slow and then pull it together toward the 2nd half of the season when he then played lights out. I do think he didn't like to tackle and he did have attitude issues sometimes, blaming other players and having bad body language (maybe a lot of that was justified, but you still don't like to see it).
His 2016 season here was really good. But then he left and his ascension continued elsewhere.

This is the correct answer.
2019 Defensive Player of the Year.
7 Cornerbacks have ever won that award. Ever. Total.
He might not have had all his best years on the Bills, but he's the best corner.
--
Edit: LOL at all of the lists that don't have him in the top 5. Cmon.
He isn't even close to the top 5 in Bills history. He simply did not have much of an impact here. He went to other teams and had his impact. He is not a top 5 Bills corner, plain and simple.
-
1) Butch Byrd (and it isn't close)
2) Charles Romes
3) Terrence McGee
4) Nate Odomes
5) Robert James
Honorable mentions: Tre White, Mario Clark, Nate Clements, Booker Edgerson

I read an article about a guy who started with a paper clip and through a series of trades ended up with a used Dodge Caravan. Anything is possible.
He stopped with a used Dodge Caravan? He should have kept going.

Can they really be dumb enough to do that AGAIN? That really worked out so well with Barkley, didn't it?

In what way?
I have NEVER played Madden.
Is it fun?
Please tell me.
Because it is a ridiculous trade that would never happen. The Bills trade 6 draft picks for two 2nd round picks so they have 4 2nd round picks. It is just pie in the sky ridiculous and would never actually happen. Nobody ever makes moves like that. Ever.
For one thing, teams actually value having later round picks to spend on developmental prospects and depth.
Is there room on the roster for 5 premium draft picks (a 1st rounder and 4 2nd), players that you typically want to start right away? No, they would be sitting on the bench. AND your draft becomes very expensive cap wise. And then all their contracts would be up at the same time.
Maybe a team that is terrible and rebuilding. But even then, it just doesn't happen that way. For one thing, why would those teams want all our crappy day three picks to give us a premium pick?

I like them both... But I think Grant has the better upside and is clearly better at getting the ball carrier to the ground when he gets in range. I also think Grant will be better vs. the run, and can be (maybe) just as good as Harmon on passing downs with some refinement.
That being said there is always some boom-or-bust factor to upside, and Harmon does feel like the safer prospect right now.
I always want my team to go for the upside instead of the safer prospect, in my opinion.

Overrated: James Cook, Gregory Rousseau, Ty Johnson, Khalil Shakir, Dorian Williams, O'Cyrus Torrence
Underrated: Spencer Brown, Damar Hamlin, Taylor Rapp, Christian Benford, Dane Jackson
There are some really good players in the overrated category, but I think Bills fans think they are better than they actually are. There are some poor players in the underrated category, but I think Bills fans think they are worse than they actually are. Spencer Brown and Christian Benford are elite, but I think many fans don't realize just how good they are.
I almost put Josh Allen in the overrated category, because I think some fans think he never does anything wrong and never contributes to the team losing, and is completely above criticism. But, he is a top 1 to 3 player in the entire NFL, so I figured that was splitting hairs a bit too much.

OK we all agree on the answer, they will use the fieldhouse. My question came since the OP started the statement with: "Will the Bills practice at the new stadium" and you answered yes so I questioned that. So agree the correct answer should have been no/yes since he asked 2 opposite questions
He said yes to the 2nd part of the question, which was "Will the Bills practice at the new stadium or continue using the field house and adjacent fields?"
So, yes to continue using the field house and fields.

You sure about #3?? I'd assume they'll still use the field house the majority of the time? Don't they have an adjacent grass field to the fieldhouse that they could use? Or maybe they install some type of new "turf" in the fieldhouse that more resembles grass?
Of course they will use their current fieldhouse and other practice facilities. Why wouldn't they?
S Justin Simmons wants to join the Bills!

I'm sure he'd be happy to join ANY team at this point.
