Lets see who wins the AFC Divisions first. On an unrelated note: What is the obsession of having to rank everything, everywhere, all the time? I just don't get it. I'm old I guess.

FWIW I don't either. The only way I could see Ertz in a Bills uniform is if he is cut and takes a one year "lets see if you fit with Josh" contract. I doubt extremely he would do that. Signing a 3 year money contract would be detrimental I believe. His skills will be diminishing.

This young man's head must be spinning in the last couple of days. Imagine how he must feel having BRUUUCE (GOAT of Sacks) wanting to talk with you about your game and other things! Hope springs eternal for an impact pass rusher.

So far 16 players have had the option exercised and 1 declined (Billy Price). Allen will have his exercised and probably Edmunds (but I'm not 100% sure on him). I am curious if it's done today or they wait until tomorrow.

Gunner, how many players did you have in total on your board? I'm just curious and it would give me some context.

As the draft drew nearer I changed my opinion on drafting a RB high. I agree that Breida and Williams could be a decent upgrade. Once again for others worried about the running game. It was well documented the Bills almost worked exclusively on the passing game during the abbreviated offseason. Adding Diggs and Davis and having Josh Allen pass/pass/pass all camp is what made his "jump" possible. It stands to reason the running game both in RB practice and run blocking suffered. That will be corrected this offseason! The same holds true for last years defense against the run. They didn't see much runs to work on on their running game response. As for the DE and DL. Beane threw some money at it last year during FA and a good amount of that didn't stick. It happens and he moved on from it this draft. It's a good thing he wasn't too stubborn about that.

May be so. These guys are all going to be in camp so I expect a lot of experimenting will be done. I think we both agree another DT this season is not needed.

I'm starting to guess that Star will play the perceived running downs with Butler spelling him. Oliver with Harry spelling as 3T and during passing type downs they will have 3 DEs with them with both Star and Butler sitting. I could see something like that as a scheme change from McDermott. They will need a replacement for Star next year probably but for those who know more than I isn't a 1T DT like the easiest DL position for a player to acclimate to?

FWIW. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/quintin-morris-nfl-draft-player-profile-bowling-green-tight-end/ Quintin Morris’ best fits in the 2021 NFL Draft Morris fits best with a team that isn’t in desperate need of a TE1. Joining a team that will use him off the line and work with his skill set makes the most sense — a team like the Buffalo Bills who have a talented tight end in Dawson Knox. Morris could join Knox and create a dynamic young tight end duo while also providing another much-needed weapon for Josh Allen.

1. Re-sign your own UFAs that you want to retain. 2. Sign/Trade for new veteran talent. 3. Keep players you project will improve in the coming year. 4. Draft 5. Sign UDFA for camp and hope for a hit. 6. Tweek the roster. 7. Cuts/Trades/Signings at cutdown day. 8 Sign up the Practice Squad. I always look at the offseason this way. Draft is just one leg of the total journey. Waiting till the final roster is the only thing I want to compare from the previous year.

LOL, I've had a few drinks this afternoon and it took me a second to get that!

I laughed when I see that.

Syracuse.com has a Bills UDFA Tracker going on. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2021/05/buffalo-bills-udfa-tracker-who-did-team-sign-after-2021-nfl-draft.html Tariq Thompson. S, San Diego State The Bills added safety Tariq Thompson post-draft. Thompson had 210 total tackles, 11 career interceptions and 23 passes defensed in his collegiate career. Syrus Tuitele, OL, Fresno State The Bills’ first UDFA signing is Syrus Tuitele. Fresno State announced the signing. Tuitele, 6-feet-6-inches tall and 318 pounds, had 26 starts at right tackle with the Bulldogs.

A very rational observation. Thanks Coach.

He will compete in camp and if he looks good he will get a mysterious injury and sit on IR until next year.

Add TE.

"With the number 236th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft the Buffalo Bills select Fatty McButterpants DT Queens College"!

I can see Wildgoose picking off Duck Hodges!

I'm hoping for another Dane Jackson repeat in the 6th.

Take the WR! LOL.

I totally agree but my point is who would move there if needed. Cody Ford? Bobby Hart?

True, but after Ty left he was the guy penciled in. Another reason IMO Beane is doing what he is doing.

I tend to think that Bates (back up LT now) is now going to work inside in camp.

Obviously Ford is moving inside to LG. If that works out then yes the tackles will be needed.

It happens every draft. LOL, it ranges from Beane playing 4D chess all the way down to Hungry Hippos. My main enjoyment is trying to guess what Beane is attempting to do much more than thinking I should be telling him what to do.
