As of now, bills have 2 picks in first 3 rounds. I see Beane trying to get back into the third, probably by packaging lower round picks.

It’s my understanding that the standard Bills contract says Bills can change salary into a bonus at will, without players consent. Of course, I think Bills ptobably do notify players prior to restructure, so player doesn’t find out on twitter.

Coleman is basically KelvinBenjamin. Not fast, not quick. Good ball skills, good hands. But contrary to popular opinion, not a great contested catch guy.

Neither of those guys are eligible for the draft this year. An under the radar day 3 guy is slot corner Daquon Hardy. Small guy but fast (4.3) and solid tackler. Reminds me of Nickel Roby. Also had 3 punt returns for TD last year.

Fortunately we don’t need opinions when we have actual data to address the explosiveness question. in terms of YAC per reception. https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-te.php Kincaid is solidly average.

Not sure that I'd place Kincaid or Shakir in the "explosive playmaker" class. To be clear, I think these guys are both excellent players. In the mid field (10-20 yd) range. But not explosive play guys.

Wait. Is Frazier a HC or DC with the Seahawks? Do we get a 3rd round pick for that?

Hmm Just wondering if you can name all a dem safeties dat Beane drafted who suck. The way you wrote that there must be a dozen or more, so let’s go….

Seems like a smart idea to me. But if something comes up, can the Bills restructure it agin this off season?

This is an interesting question. In college football, it’s been known for years that players were getting money under the table, by “bagmen”. Is there any evidence that nfl players get money off the books to dodge the cap?

Not a crazy idea. in the Athletic (Joe Buscaglia ) Bills off season plans, he has Bills resigning Wallace at vet min.

I’m speechless. you are truly clueless. Just curious. Are yo a Syracuse — Big Orange — fan?

All the EVIDENCE (new stadium $$, spending over the cap for the past several years by pushing $$ into the future) shows that Pegula is very willing to spend money on the Bills. You’ve just got some byzantine conspiracy theory based on the Yankees and Jerry Jones that makes no sense whatsoever.

???Cmon, think it through. Pegula has a personal net worth of $5-10 billion, and the Bills are probably worth $3 billion. And Bills have spent up to the cap the past 5 years while chasing Bills first ever Super Bowl win. So with a team this close he’s going to discard one of the key players for a few million, that would then be spent on a different player anyway? Really? Yeah, Bills may trade or extend Dawkins. But that would have nothing whatsoever to do with the stadium cost. SMH

Thanks! That actually makes sense.

Any chance he can catch on as a Sabres goalie?

Thanks. Who determines whether an incentive is “not likely to be earned”? Apparently, one of Vons incentives is 2 sacks. I would guess that is likely to be earned, based on his improved play, and likelihood for increased snaps this coming year.

I’m not going to say you’re a dumb@ss, because that’s against board policies. But you’re not a smart @ss.

The answer to your question is in the 2nd post in the thread.

Heres how I see it. Only once in the history of the NFL draft have more than 6 WR been taken n the first round. That was 2004, 7 were taken, including one at 29 and one at 31. So I'm thinking at most 6 WR, maybe only 4-5, will be off the board by the time Bills pick. I also think Worthy is now the 4 WR pick; some GM wont be able to resist that speed. Which leaves Thomas, Mitchell, Leggette, Franklin all as realistic possibilities. I like them all, in pretty much that order. Given the wealth of really good WR on the board, Id be pretty disappointed if we go DE, DT, or S in first round.

Not quite sure of your math. How do you reason 11 coaches higher than McD. I see 3 coaches graded higher than McD.

I was never a Dickerson fan, but I remember these comments. Dickerson was trying to be like Madden, calling OL big uglies and slobs as a compliment. It was all tongue in cheek. Im not sure if Redskins Hogs weren’t smart enough to figure that out, or if they were just being fed the “he’s dissin you” line by their coaches. I sorta think the former. I’ve lived in DC area the last 20 yrs, Jacoby ain’t exactly the sharpest bulb.

He and his sidekick (Art Wander) were both grade A aholes. Dickerson would say he only wanted to hear strong opinions, strongly held. In other words, people who wouldn’t compromise, and wouldn’t change their opinions, no matter what the facts were. In a microcosm, everything that’s wrong with the US today.

Just to give some perspective on these "grades". Which I put in quotes because there is a fair degree of subjectivity here. Its not like a multiple choice test where there are clear right and wrong answers. I think we all need to take these grades with a huge grain of salt. The Athletic grades are entirely from Joe Buscaglia, a very good writer for The Athletic. The PFF grades, as I understand things, are based upon numerous different evaluators, with some evaluators being better than others. I'm not saying one set is better than the other. But from my observations, I think that Buscaglia's grades match what I see better than do PFF. Dodson being an example. Per PFF, he was markedly better than Bernard, and one of the best LB in the entire NFL. Per Buscaglia, Bernard was clearly the better player.
