I dont think the comp pick thing matters on the Bills end. We are not in line for any picks at the moment. Currently minus 1.

Yeah I agree with that. I was the Niners in our mock draft and I traded up for him. In my research it seemed they were all over him.

I think there is no doubt Rapp and Bishop start. Whether we like that or not, it certainly seems like what they want. I never want to watch Hamlin out there again, and Lewis becomes expendable with Hancock. Forrest is interesting, but yeah, I would like to see one more guy added for depth at the very least.

Meachem is probably hanging with Bryant Johnson somewhere.

I think they gave it to Robbins the punter. Maybe Jackson will have to buy him a bucket of wings.

Well, all the people who want a hulking nose tackle will probably teach them bite the ball head across and chicken wing blocking and all that old school garbage. There is so much new technique and teaching, Seahawk tackling rugby style stuff that makes the game so much safer, and that is in addition to all the helmet science. If the coaches in youth in your town are no neck losers with barbed wire tattoos, beware. But if you have knowledgeable coaches who are open to learning new things, the game is safer than ever. I'll be the bad guy here, but to me if your kid wants to play football and you would not let your kid play football, you should not be allowed to be a fan. You would be contributing to the eventual death of the game you allegedly love.

Ok gotcha. I did not know. Maybe it's his last chance? I guess most people never change

Sure I guess. I would assume he has matured in that instance since he just did two years of purgatory in Cleveland, and it does not sound like there were any issues there. I don't think the Bills would bring him in for a visit if he were still having those issues. In addition, he was right as Mike LaFluer was awful with the Jets and a complete joke. But I guess we shall see what happens.

Latu is pretty interesting. Doesn't look super fast but looks huge, could be an interesting development on the practice squad guy.

Makes a ton of sense. I think that's the kind of salary he should be in line for. MVS signed for 1 year 4 million, Mike Williams 1 year 3 million. I think somewhere in that range is fair.

It's about scheme and player type IMO. The Bills don't always draft the best player on paper, they draft guys that fit what they want to do. And I guess that is why we see misses and things of that nature. I think it's a lot of luck, but teams like the Ravens just draft athletes, arm lengths, sizes, injury reg flags, and off field stuff be damned, and that's why it seems like they hit more often than others, I think they just have different standards than a team like the Bills who have very specific types they are looking for. The Bills are the picky guy at the bar at 3 am who may go home alone. Teams like the Ravens always seem to get lucky because they are open to anything.

So there are 2 huge differences between Hamler and Moore. They are durability and production. Moore has been 3 times as productive in his career and has been extremely durable. Hamler has not played a meaningful snap since 2022, a year in which he played in 7 games after playing in just 3 games in 2021. These two are not the same at all.

Bills are not in line for any comp picks, so that ufa tender should not be an issue. I guess it comes down to price, opportunity and fit. Browns just signed Diontae "No hands" Johnson, so extending this tender feels a little disingenuous, but Browns gonna Brown.

Yeah that was weird!

At around 43 mins in

So I know people don’t love McShay sometimes, but he loved the Bills draft and had a pretty interesting take. He said the teams with quarterbacks like Josh Allen (Ravens, Eagles, Chiefs) should do everything they can to improve the defense because Josh can’t help on the defensive side of the ball. He was afraid the Bills would not stick to the strategy and he was happy that they did drafting defense early and often. I just thought it was a pretty interesting take when you typically hear guys talking about adding weapons around the QB.

if they can make this happen I can go back into hibernation

Camarda was highly touted, ery athletic, highly drafted 4th round pick. He had two very good years for the Bucs. I read he had something going on and had a couple of bad games and the Bucs cut him. So he only played in a couple of games last season but he has the pedigree. Beane said they liked him a bunch coming out but he was drafted earlier than anyone expected. Anyway, during Camarda’s first two years, our new special teams coordinator Chris Tabor was in Carolina gameplanning against Camarda. Anyway I just think it’s his job to lose because of the pedigree and upside.

I guess my thought process on him is that he is a better receiver than Codrington is a corner. To me neither should make it and they should find a returner who can do both. I don’t think you can have two exclusive returners on a roster.

Hancock will make the team 100%. I believe Strong will too. Jake Camarda way over Robbin’s imo. Other than that I think it’s pretty spot on. It should be interesting to see what happens when Hoecht and Larry O come back.

Assuming he has to take a 1 year prove it deal, this is the place to be. If the excuses for him not reaching full potential has been terrible QB play, let’s see what he can do with a real QB. It makes a ton of sense on both sides.

I agree with this. The way to beat the Chiefs is to smash them in the face, rushing 4. Beane seems to be trying to get there.

He is wound pretty tightly physically. And this is not a knock on you at all, but many on this board were banging the table for Tez Johnson near the end of the draft, the soon to be 23 year old who goes 5-9, 154 lbs and his 4.51 forty. It's okay to be a bit smaller when you go 4.35 in speed.

I would even add, in last year's vaunted draft class, who really did that aside from Nabers and BTJ both of whom were out of reach? Those guys are hard to come by. Don't grow on trees.

But his argument is going to be that they used a first on Kincaid, a 2nd on a guard, a 2nd on Coleman, a first on Diggs etc. A ton of money on Allen, Palmer, Shakir, Knox and Samuel and a ton of money on the offensive line. The players they have on the offensive side of the ball have a ton of unrealized upside. Drafting Troy Horton is not making this a Super bowl team. The defense was God awful and slow and had zero upside. He changed all that with 1 draft. I am a Beane hater. I am on his side on this one.
