Here's how to think about all that. His QB sucked and is mostly a first read / half field read guy in an offense that spread the ball all over the place. Texas had 15 guys below Mitchell on the depth chart catch nearly 60% of their receptions. There will be a huge difference playing with Josh Allen. Josh throws the ball everywhere on the field, the play is never dead, and the Bills are very top heavy in their targets. And then the major plus to Mitchell's game is his clutch genes. Big game, crucial moment TD's. Including national championship winning score.

It actually runs on old fryer grease that he picks up in the parking lot of Tito's Tacos on Sepulveda.

Duuuuuuvalllllll

Making sure to get the X we need, some back up slot options. And replacing the Punt God.

15-early 20's is the range I think they'll have to move up to get him at a price they can live with. He might go as early as 12... Who knows?

I'm on the trade up for Brian Thomas Jr train. It would take this years 1st, 2nd and next year's 2nd (or 3rd) to move up to get Thomas and this year's 3rd. So we'd lose one pick next year and have the same number this year. The 2nd pick would be coming in the 80's instead of 60. Of course a number of other teams might have him as the clear #4 and drive the price up for him.

So just falling dead weight is ok, even on the back of the runners legs, as long as you don't swivel your hips?

100%... I'd give up this year and next year's 2nd, in return for a 3rd this year to move up to get him.

With the addition of Samuel, I think the perfect Gabe Davis replacement in this draft is Brian Thomas Jr. He's bigger, faster and more fluid than Davis. He's a deep threat and a red zone TD machine. Plus he caught 78% of his passes last year.

So how are you supposed to tackle a guy from behind. You wrap two arms and then what?

Rappaport just confirmed the signing.

Clapp's probably a downgrade from Bates as backup C/G. But so is his salary.

Will Clapp is the new Rick Bates.

Holder, now that's our true position in need

Glad he's not on the Chiefs anymore.

Will Clapp is the new Rick Bates.

I think the reason the Bills chose to run in the red zone so much last season was based on it being higher percentage. They don't really have a red zone receiving TD machine. And that's exactly what I think Brian Thomas Jr. is. I hope Kincaid significant increases his TD's this season. Would love to see him in the 6-8 range. Anything more than that and it's all gravy. But I also think the Bills need a red zone monster. I'd support a trade up into the low 20's for Thomas Jr. I think he's really the vertical deep threat and Red Zone TD machine the Bills need to add to their chain moving receivers of Kincaid, Samuels and Shakir...

If the Bills don't take a 1st or 2nd round receiver, Jermaine Burton is in that next group of wr's the Bills would be targeting. Like Tez Walker, Javon Baker, Burton, Brendon Rice. Those would be the Gabe Davis replacements as more physical x / deep threat boundary receivers. To have their pick of the third tier receivers they'll probably have to package some picks and move into the 3rd round... While Burton is the smallest of the 3rd/4th round x receivers, he might be the best deep threat.

The way he was used in the second half of the season showed me that he can put up #2 receiver numbers in the coming years. The question is, how high is the ceiling?

I've been thinking that there's a chance they want to replace Tre with a true #1 lockdown cb. Elam hasn't planned out and Rasul is only on a one year contract. And he might also be enamored with Burton as a deep threat.

Schobel deserves respect. With his 78 career sacks, he averaged just over 8.5 sacks per year over his 9 year career. With four double digit sack seasons and a high of 14 sacks in 2006. Toohill's production this far makes him more comparable to Ryan Denney or Chris Kelsey.

4th is where he's projected to go. He gave up 8 pressures and 4 sacks last year. His weakness are being undisciplined at times in pass pro. I think that's something he can improve on with technique and coaching.
