Thank you, Gonzo. To many dates are being thrown around. Didn't it used to be June 1 and not the day after the draft?

If Rasul Douglas or Cooper signs, they may get us back to zero.

Someone on X posted this. Not sure about his source.

"Crash Out" is mild compared to some takes I've seen posted. Buffalo Rumblings headline included "expletive-laden."

I think the reason Beane "crashed out" was that Beane explained the draft in his post draft presser. He said that had there been a WR at a position of value as opposed to those players he drafted in rounds 4 thru 7 he would have grabbed one. There wasn't. So...he hears the radio guys griping about him not drafting a WR and accusing him of devaluing the position, and he defended himself. These same radio guys thought he drafted the wrong Josh and griped about that in 2018. So he started out with a trip down memory lane. He's built a winning roster. He realized that in each instance for not advancing to the Super Bowl, it was the defense that let the team down, not the lack of a WR. First off...why can't we give Beane the benefit of the doubt? Secondly, do your homework and listen to the pressers and the way he already addressed the questions beforehand. BTW, they talked about the radio interview on NFL Live and as much as they would have liked the Bills to add speed at WR (Mina Kimes especially), by and large they could not argue with Beane's approach to the draft noting the defensive woes during the playoffs.

Beane said as much today on OBL. He said sometimes they have the desire to move up for a player, but can't find a trading partner willing to move down to their spot.

The WGR interview did not prompt Elijah Moore coming in. Beane was on OBL today. He said they had discussions with Moore prior to the draft and decided to "stick a pin in it" until post draft depending on what Buffalo did. For example, had the Bills drafted a WR in the first or second round, likely the interest would wane on both sides. Since the value wasn't there for Buffalo and they waited until the 7th round, the interest on both the Bills and Moore's end is higher. I got the impression, Moore was already in the building.

You may be right, but largely a sexual assault is not something a woman wants to publicize. Even though there is more success in prosecuting cases with DNA testing, women are very hesitant to come forward publicly. There is still always the he said/she said aspect challenging consensuality, having one's sexual history put out for public consumption. When you post to social media, you aren't looking for justice. You're looking for something else in "the court of public opinion.". That something else could be a number of things ranging from vindication to vengeance. Naturally, this is just my opinion.

Beane did address this in his presser. They and the NFL found there was nothing there. In fact, Hairston offered at the time to take a polygraph.

I did read it. However, just because she posts her story, it doesn't make it true. Also ... Hairston, at that age would have been a new recruit by the team. Not a star player they needed to protect. There is likely more to this story.

I'm sorry. That's just not something an assault victim does. You talk to the police. You talk to your family. You talk to your therapist. You don't go to social media, calling attention to yourself.

Even as a woman, I am highly skeptical of someone choosing to post a sexual assault on social media.

See other poll.

I'm thinking is it possible Hawes could replace both Davidson and Gilliam on the roster as a TE with great blocking ability who can also play special teams? With all the D linemen and secondary adds, it would sure help.

I see Laviska Shenault as the Collins replacement. I agree with you on Palmer.
