Cody Ford only played one year and last year he wasn't bad a guard then he got hurt. He has moved all over the line trying to find his spot. Its hard enough for a rookie in the NFL to learn one position not 3. I can see him settling in at guard this year and concentrating on one position and really helping. As for Knox he was a High School QB and recruited to Ole Miss as a QB and converted to TE during college. Not an easy task. Plus I think this is the year he will shine. If you look most receivers don't break out until year 3 in the NFL....I said most. So as a receiving TE he will improve as an overall TE maybe another year or so. I just want the receiving part to come alive. And Singletary is nothing special. He was a great surprise his first year in the league but now teams know who he is and aren't scared. He is who he is. So I would give the first two a break.

I am all for it....Build on your strengths!!! Our D will hold up if we score more then 23 PPG average, and we have a bunch of returning starters all over the place on D

People are saying the draft starts at pick 3 with the 49er's, but who will they pick? When Shanahan took over in 2017, the roster was in good shape except for a QB in which he traded for his guy in Jimmy Garoppolo and 2 years later they were in the Superbowl (2019 Season). So why would the 49er's give up on Garoppolo so fast or are they. Maybe they are making smoke screens and have someone else in mind to get them over the hump once again. And at 12 they wouldn't be in line to get their guy. By essentially trading up to the #3 spot that is like the pick to pick anyone in the draft other then T. Lawrence, or the kid our of BYU (you go Jets waste another pick). They have set themselves up to get Jimmy G. a major weapon on the outside in any of the three WR's they like, or pick K. Pitts TE out of Florida which would be a major weapon in their offense and it would give the 49ers two major TE threats to push the ball down the field in Pitts and Kittle (that would be a scary duo). So why is everyone saying the 49er's are going to pick a QB when they already have a proven one at the helm if he can stay healthy. This reminds me of the movie the Draft Day where the Browns had their guy and he was worried about getting traded or let go....(Pitts No Matter What). If that happened that would make the whole first round much more entertaining and stress free because I don't want Pitts going to an AFC East team. Thoughts.....

Its all smoke screen....this guy is using the theory some have to build on your strengths with the picks he had. We take BPA hands down and the will be TE...... RB Clemson.

I choose T. Etienne, RB, Clemson. Because when I look at this roster and the draft board, the only position that we could possibly choose and have a legit shot to start day 1 is running back. We have decent depth guys but no game breakers. Etienne is a game breaker. Big, fast and can start day 1.

Get it done Beane!!!! we can give the dirty birds this years first and next years first along with a third and a late rounder in either year so we can get Pitts. I know we need some D but this guy has all the tools to make our Offense even better. We wont be getting starters with later first round picks anyway not with this roster. But if we get Pitts we get a starting TE. Thoughts..... I would even throw in Edmonds in on the deal and draft a MLB in the second round!!!

As much as I would like to get Travis Etienne, I think we will draft heavy on the Defense. Our weakest spot on the team IMO is the D-Line especially ends (and age has a lot to do with it). We have dinosaurs playing both ends (Hughs, and Addison) we need an influx of youth at that position, so I see maybe two or three DE's drafted. It would not surprise me if Etienne is sitting there at 30 and we draft him and later in the draft trade Moss or Singletary away. Just my opinion. If we can stay young and get better that is good too.

We have a pretty good roster as it sits right now and there is now way 7 draft prospects make the roster or even come close. This is what I would do if I were Beane. Here are the Bills picks as it stands now: Round Pick 1 30 Bills original selection 2 61 Bills original selection 3 93 Bills original selection 5 161 Acquired from Raiders for Zay Jones 5 174 Bills original selection 6 213 Bills original selection 7 *236 Acquired from Panthers for Marshall Newhouse I would pin point 2 or three guys that you love and you think would help this team out day 1 (either by creating competition or starting) and use all the draft pick to maneuver the board to make it work. I would trade pick 30 and 93 to move up in the first round ( you wont get a top 10 but you can probably get as high as 18 to the mid 20's I would trade pick 61 and 161 to move up in the second round (you might get as high as pick 45 by doing this) you could use the last three picks 174, 213, and 236 to maneuver in the later rounds. and if he didn't trade any of those picks the picks would be camp bodies and we would draft 5 guys instead of 7. It would also give us 2 picks in the top 45 instead of 4 picks in the top 161 and only one pick in the top 45. I am just playing around here but it would be nice. Plus if you were one of those guys drafted by this team rounds 5-7 you probably know in your heart you have little chance of playing on the opening day roster

I would like to see Clowney also. Reminds me of Mario when we signed him even though he was already a stub. Clowney did go to S.C. not the biggest of towns for a football team. And since he has been in the NFL Houston, Seattle, Tenn. all big citys with lots of stuff to get into. I think Buffalo would make him feel the most at home, plus dude has to know he is running out of chances. I think he will either be a steal or a major bust either way he wont cost much and the upside is better then the downside.

I have to disagree with your statement that our two best players were Roberts and Bojorquez. Roberts was good but I would much rather see Lil Dirty back there especially for punts. To me he is more shifty and always has a chance to break one (i.e. the Miami game last year). Yes Roberts was good and he always came out with a full steam of head....but he wasn't shifty and if there wasn't a hole there he wasn't going anywhere. As for Bojo, I thought he was average. Yes he had some great punts but he also had some pretty bad ones (i.e. the 12 yarder vs the Cards). You can look here and see that he was just average https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2021/3/12/22324339/2020-analysis-buffalo-bills-punter-corey-bojorquez i just think we didn't see much of him last year so when we did see him we were all shocked. I think Tyler Bass was one of our studs on ST and glad he is with us. I will only talk playoffs with him. The Colts game he made a great kick at the end of the game to seal the deal for us. He didn't do so hot vs Bal but neither did Tucker (probably the best kicker of all time) because the winds were crazy. And in the Championship game he was he was perfect with FG's 4-4 with 2 from 50+ yards (although he did miss an Extra point). I also think we have some great cover guys like Jones and Tyler M. I also think most people on this board are underestimating C. Ford as a Guard (which is where he will be this year) we have a solid line with Dion, Ford on the left side Morse int he middle and Mongo and Williams on the right. Or you could flop the Guards around who cares. I really think the weak link on our line is Morse. I remember watch the Pats game when Morse went down with a concussion and with Bates and Mongo and Winters in the middle. We will see. We have a pretty damn good team with the only franchise QB in the Division which we need to pay next year along with Edmonds if we want him. So Beane is looking for long term success. The addition of Sanders is good and resigning our own is great. I still think we get a free agent Edge rusher or Beane has his eyes on a couple of players in the draft and will trade up to get them. If we kept all our draft picks only 2 or 3 will make the team anyway.

Buddy Johnson LB Texas A&M dude can play in a tough conference two Seth Wiliams WR Auburn Can jump though the roof a big body too 6'3" 211 Anthony Schwartz WR world class sprinter that is what we need to fill JB spot. He could play ST and learn behind a great WR room. JORDAN SMITH EDGE UAB i like this guys size and in today's NFL it would be nice to pass down some passes (6'7" 255) JOSHUA KAINDOH EDGE FSU Beane probably saw him today 5-star recruit out of college great size 6'7 260 AARON HANSFORD LB Texas A&M I like this guy too because he was a WR his first two years got hurt and came back as a LB. He is raw but lots of talent and good size 6'3" 245 and can cover TE's in our division we need that. I would sign any of the Texas A&M Offensive linemen too as UDFA that line played great this year but they get no love. I would take a look at them for depth if anything.

I was thinking about this a lot lately and I have come to this conclusion. When Beane signed Butler and Jefferson for the D-line last year he did that counting on Lotulelei (6'2" 315) to play all year. So I give him a pass on how poor our pass rush was last year. Star being out not only effected our pass rush IMO but it also didn't help in the development of Oliver either. I think with Star coming back this season it will free up some more guys to rush the passer because he commands a double team most of the time and last year noone on our line commanded one. So I think you will see some improvements next year with the guys we have....also not saying we wont draft an edge rusher or another D tackle to help either. In fact now would be a good time to draft another one to mirror Star as he gets older and I don't think he will be around much longer. Here are some of my picks... Marvin Wilson FSU 6'3 319 Tyler Shelvin LSU 6'3" 346 Bobby Brown III TAM 6'3" 325 Naquan Jones MSU 6'4" 338 All guys that played the 1-tech in college and all can play stuff the run. All should be available in the second round or later (might have to move up to get a couple in the second). I just think we need to start looking for backups to learn from the guys getting older. It is ok for guys to sit a year or get the left over snaps. Thoughts...

Yawn!!!

Do you think AJ Kline can play DE? His best trait last year was rushing the passer IMO. His size is pretty close to most DE's on the team he should only have to put on like 10 Lbs. Just wondering. Can't see him getting plaid all that money just to back up Milano? Thought

The signing of Milano tells me exactly this...that we are making a run at the SB!! He was a part of the first draft class that McD was a part of right before they hired Beane....Keeping and signing their own is what it is all about. How much do we gain by dropping AJ and drafting a LB as a back up? Also we are still in the running for a DE I think we need to drop or get Tyler M. and I wish Lee Smith would decide if he is going to retire or not. How much do we save if Lee Smith retires vice getting cut does anyone know?

Fake News!!!! they just took his salary and multiplied it by four without seeing the details...

I don't know how much pull the Pats have anymore....think about it....Brady gone and happier....Gronk gone and happier.....Van Noy (who I would like to get in FA if we can't get Milano)I would be surprised if he goes back to NE....because he is a good fit there and if he doesn't go back that should say something about the moral within the Pat's organization. Nobody ever looked like they were having fun over there even when they were winning. And I don't recall any ex-pats returning after they left....

I like the neutral sites being held in states that don't have an NFL franchise states like ND, SD, Wyoming, Nebraska, Oklahoma, places like that, that have NFL fans but no home team. I think that would be cooler then having games overseas for neutral site games....America First!!! I just thought of something that would make it interesting if they aren't going to use a neutral site field for the games....Have the Superbowl or Pro Bowl winning conference as the host conference for the next years games. That would give them something to play for...an extra home game!!

These are free agents I think the Bills would go after in the open market. The Bills and their front office doesn't over spend on anyone (not even their own) and they seem to find players who have to prove something or if they don't they can go find another job. The Bills are also an organization that most players want to come play for. So here are my thoughts on some free agents we should be looking for and not the high priced guys that you would get into a bidding war with. My list is in no particular order. Jadeveon Clowney (DE) Sportrac has his value at 6.5M a year. We could sign him to a 1 year prove it deal like we did with Jordan Philips after we got him from Miami. Clowney would replace Murphy who would cost a little more then Murph but is 2 years younger and has a lot more talent he just needs a kick in the butt and with our Defensive Coaching staff they just might be able to do it. Ndamukong Suh (DT) Sportrac has his value at 6.8M a year. I would cut Jefferson and Butler and sign this guy for a couple years. I know he is at the end of his career but can you imagine Suh and Star in the middle of our D-line. Them two alone would clog up four O-linemen and leave our ends and LB's room to roam and make plays. If I did this I would also draft a big bodied DT for a space eater to learn how to maneuver and handle double teams in the NFL behind those two. Plus he would bring some attitude to our line which needs it. Solomon Thomas (DE) Sportrac has his value at 5.6M a year. This guy reminds me of Jerry Hughes coming over from Indy when we got him. A new environment might be good for this dude and he is young 25 years old. Affordable, and he was a round 1 # 3 overall pick in 17'. I just think he played at Stanford then drafted by SF....same area maybe a change of scenery might help him focus. I would also try to sign our own like D Williams and Flaciano for our O-line; and I would love to get Milano back but I don't see that happening.

AZ didn't make the playoffs last year This goes to show that Beane had a price and did not want to overpay someone...he stood by his principles....I respect that

They may even be the worst team in that division....Rams (way better)....Seahawks (better...even with their issues i am sure they are going to work it out)....SF (better...even with their QB situation all they need is a serviceable QB and on D they have one of those Bosa kids)...and then there is the Cards (a running QB = Lamar 2.0 but not as good and no passing game....they will never make it to the SB much less the Playoffs. I hope JJ WATT likes watching the playoffs on TV because all those other teams (BUF, GB, PITT, and maybe even the Titans) will all be in the show next year and he will not.

I totally agree. I too was a die hard diretv guy just for the sunday ticket...but the customer service sucked and I hated paying extra for all the crap that came with it. Now I am a youtube TV guy. No cords and I get a lot of the channels that I watched on Directv and then some for less cost and no boxes or excess cords to deal with...and I can watch it anywhere. Plus, I find it more fun to watch the Bills games with a bunch of other Bills fans at the local Bills Backers bar. The Bills Mafia truely is an awesome group of people and I am proud to say i am a member.

I think we need another TE in place of Kroft, and maybe Tremble will be it. Two great nick names School of Hard Know and the Aftershock as our TE's. I still believe in Knox..it takes a lot of receivers in the league about 3 years to come to life and Knox had a great second half of the season after dealing with COVID.

Who has more confidence in him? I like to think i can trust the front office now to make the right decision unlike past regimes. Even the D-Line and O-Line hasn't been the best since they took over and it was a weakness and the O-line is very good now and you can't say they aren't trying everything they can with the D-line. We haven't even seen Fromm play in an NFL game yet. He was very good in college this is what some of the scouts said before last years draft: “I think he’s going to win a lot of games at that level. I think the league likes him a lot more than the media does. People talk themselves out of him because he doesn’t have the greatest physical tools in the world, but he’s just a dang good quarterback. He’s great from the neck up and he’s got the best eyes in this class. His arm strength is very underrated. He’s accurate. He’s tough. He’s won a ton of games. He’s durable. There’s so much to like. I think he could be a really good pro.” “Assuming his accuracy comes back—and there’s no reason to believe it won’t – Fromm should develop into a low-end NFL starter or high-end NFL backup, a guy who is between the 24th and 40th-best quarterback in the league for a long time.” – Thor Nystrom, Rotoworld “He's an intelligent game-manager whose range is good backup to middling starter, but he will be scheme and skill-position-needy at the next level.” – Lance Zierlein, NFL.com So I say we give Fromm a shot if we need him (hopefully we wont) He sounds to me like a Frank kind of back up.

I voted to get rid of him. I liked what Barkley brought to the team but it is time to move on. He is a career backup and we have some young guys waiting for their turn. If we get stuck with Fromm QB ing for a couple weeks next year....that is why we need to establish the run game more so we know if we need to run the ball with one of these back ups in the game we can. The best player available in the draft where we are picking is going to be a running back. That is the position that usually falls in the draft.
