Those whining about Edmunds criticism go back and watch the first patriots game from last year. He was the worst player on the field by far. After that game I couldn’t help but notice his poor play the rest of the season. I’m not sure I can be convinced it’s mostly due to injury. I keep an open mind, but there are plays where there is no way it is the D line’s fault. Hopefully I’m wrong and he is healthy and improved next season. As for the calls for him to be traded. I chalk that up to his perceived value around the league being higher than his actually play on the field. His pro bowl selection was a joke. The best MLBs are in the NFC and Hightower, Mosley, and Bush didn’t play last season in the AFC.

I like to take the argument “Mahomes wouldn’t have been as good if he were drafted by Buffalo” and look at it from another angle. How good would the Bills have been with Mahomes in 2017 (and beyond)? I think they still go with Tyrod as the starter, but Tyrod still gets benched in this alternate reality and instead of Peterman stepping in it’s Mahomes taking the reigns against LA and maybe sooner. While I have to agree that Mahomes wouldn’t have put up the same insane numbers in Buffalo that he did on a loaded KC offense; I believe he could have put up more than 10 points against Jacksonville in the wild card game. The Jax team that made the championship and was a quarter away from the Super Bowl.

Track speed vs. football speed

Spare me the “hindsight” BS when I spent months before the draft defending DK against his doubters. I broke down every criticism systematically and explained why they were not a big deal. I went on record saying I would hypothetically take him #1 overall. Still all his doubters are hiding behind the hindsight excuse. Cody Ford’s struggles just magnify an obvious mistake. We couldn’t trade our entire 2019 draft for DK at this point. it’s not the end of the world, and the Bills have been good despite passing on him. I just don’t understand why fans can’t admit it was a mistake -

And even though I liked the draft I would have taken Teven Jenkins at 30. Joseph Ossai in 2nd, and try to trade up for Terrance Marshall in 3rd. -
Bills 2021 Draft - Overall Assessment

I love the draft. I wanted them to get fast WR and CB late because our WRs can teach route running and McDermott can mold an athletic CB like Wildgoose. So no need to use top 100 picks on complete players at those positions. Rousseau was a top 5 pick in mocks this time last year and only started to fall before his pro day. I remember thinking it would be amazing if he fell to us. After his pro day he fell even more in mocks so I started thinking about corners. There’s no doubt he has one of the highest ceilings in the draft. There are UDFA 1T DTs available. Naquan Jones and Forrest Merril (former wrestler) come to mind. They added more youth to the o line and versatile high upside guys as well. They may be able to trade some of the veterans they signed in FA creating their own comp picks once again. -
