Blank Stare

All the stars are lining up for the Chiefs. Get Melvin Ingram for a song, allowing them to move Chris Jones back inside. Completely turned around their D. Now one of their DBs from last season’s mugging of our receivers in the AFCG is available. Sign ‘em up!

Of course positional value is real. I’m not disputing that. I wouldn’t even argue the positions you’ve listed as most important and that you should keep shooting until you nail those positions. I’d argue they have addressed all of those positions the last few years with some really good players, with the weakest of the bunch as pass rusher (as of now at least). But they did try to address it by using the top 2 picks there this year. All I’m saying is we have weaknesses outside of those key positions you’ve listed. We all piss and moan about who they should or shouldn’t take every year because X position isn’t worth it, but, with where the roster is now, I think it’s silly to suggest any position is off the table in the first round. When you’ve hit on QB, you can afford to truly trust your board and not reach even if it’s not one of your above listed positions. We’re at a point now where we have to start hitting on impact players to help Josh. He’s proven he can carry this team. Now, it should be about bringing in players who can help lighten the load. You want to take another CB, WR, or LT in the first round? Fine by me. Whatever the position, you just need to hit on it because it will help Josh. I feel the same about Jordan Davis or “insert RB name here” even though the positional value may not be there. I’d argue improvement to those positions would mean a helluva lot to the Bills this season based on this forum’s most common complaints on Beane’s construction of the roster this year. Personally, I’d go into this draft with a heavy offensive lean. Particularly, with respect to addressing the oline with a couple stud picks to keep Josh clean. Tackle, guard, or center. However, guard has long been thought to be a position you rarely burn a first rounder on (Quentin Nelson excluded). I’m not saying they should, but that’s one area they need improvement and more talented players. If they find one they like, and pull the trigger in the first round, I’m not going to run around saying the positional value isn’t there. Instead, I’ll be like everyone else with the benefit of hindsight and wait half a season like with Cody Ford and tell you he’s terrible 😜😂.

I could be completely wrong here, but the last time I remember them doing it was the 09 draft taking Wood at the end of the first and coming back and grabbing Levitre in the 2nd. Great picks.

Gotta protect the franchise! Keep swinging baby!

People get so hung up on “you can’t take X position” in the first round of the draft. Says who? We don’t have a say. They should be about stacking talent and taking the best player available. If that’s the big hoss 1T DT out of Georgia or a multi-dimensional RB to take some heat off Allen then so be it. No one on here should complain if that player work out. Personally, I’m a fan of going OL with two of the first four picks. Snag a back, corner, receiver, and a DT at some point in FA and/or remaining picks and let’s roll.

Never say never. Dan Morgan is now the Assistant GM there after leaving the Bills earlier this year for the gig.

Man I hate the Chiefs.

This is what the Bills vs Cheats game a few weeks ago should’ve been on the entertainment scale. Instead we got a ***** show in the weather department.

I wonder if the Chargers sweep this year if Mahomes will finally “see it when he believes it”?

What a drive

Love how much they move the pocket for Herbert. Daboll Never does that for Josh.

Leaving Kelce wide open seems smart.

Will chargers actually score here?!!

Woooowwww!!!

Chargers are a disaster in the red zone today.

This has been my problem with Diggs this year. Yes, he’s been held on occasion, but, like Josh has been doing with those off side penalties this year, he isn’t finishing the play. Ends up being wasted downs/opportunities. He lets up and starts looking around instead of just catching the ball. Then then the ball falls right near him. That and he just isn’t tracking the deep ball that well this year.

Agreed on both fronts. Not sure we’re getting a roof, but I’d love a dynamic receiving back. Would be huge for Josh.

Brandon Staley has been like Bizarro McD. Sure, it bites him from time to time, but I love how aggressive he is. Especially in big games.

Agreed. Take note McD. Have to be aggressive in big games. Other than red zone execution, I feel like that has been the biggest difference this year vs. last. Just not as aggressive. Doesn’t seem like we are dictating to teams as much this year. At least since the KC (and maybe the Titans game). Since then, they’ve been in some weird funk. Second half of Tampa game started to feel like getting some of that back.

Interesting take. I was also thinking Herbert looks a little smoother/more settled working underneath in the games that I’ve seen. Josh has gotten better with it, but can still come in hot with it from time to time. There’s no QB I trust more on a third and long than Josh though. Everything is in play.

They beat Herbert last year.

I agree they are similar, but you never hear Josh’s named mentioned when people say that about Herbert. It’s like he doesn’t exist or do the same types of thing Herbert does. It’s wild. So you think it is an age thing? 23 (Herbert) vs. 25 (Allen)?

Beautiful start.

Daboll would be a good fit for them from working with and developing a young QB like Lawrence. Maybe the most accomplished on that list in that department. I guess you could argue Bienemy with Mahomes is as accomplished, but hard to separate that from Andy Reid. Something is off with Bienemy or else he’d have been hired by now. Pederson could be ok. How he handled the end of last year in Philly really damaged his credibility among players, but hard to argue with a SB ring. Caldwell is meh to me and McDaniels is a douche after what he did to the Colts (along with being a patriot). Although, I wouldn’t hate getting him out of the division.

I guess, but tonight isn’t the first time I’ve heard it. Seem to hear it all the time. 🤷‍♂️
