@GunnerBill awesome work!
with the way this draft fell, if the Bills force a corner pick, which I think they will do if no other additions were made, whose the corner left on the board you would take if forced to pick a corner at our pick?

I have fallen into the trade for young vets who have fallen down the depth chart/fallen out of favor trap and the two guys who make sense the most to me are Julius Brents and Jalin Hyatt. And so I will sit alone on this hill and wait and see if anything happens with those guys. It's more likely that their teams will go into camp to see what they have, but if I am the Bills, with ten draft picks I would be willing to sacrifice a couple of picks to add those two guys who are still younger than some of the guys in this draft class.

Elijah Moore is a guy I'd be interested in as well, I don't think he's signed anywhere.
I think he makes a ton of sense because he adds and interesting dynamic to the offense that isn't quite present.

I think the fans need to get off this tun of goo quest. Bills have never really had that kind of DT under McD.
Star was 6'2" 315, Jones is 6'4" 320.
Yeah Fotu is similar, at least on paper to Jones.

I would look to trade a pick somewhere for a young guy who is now blocked because of what his team did in free agency.
I mentioned trying to get Alex Austin back from the Pats, coaching changes etc and he is basically a 3/4 corner there where I would be excited to have him starting here opposite Benford over guys like Jackson. This seems unlikely, but it's something I would pursue.
How about JuJu Brents? He has had issues staying on the field, but he has flown down the depth chart in Indy, and there was also a defensive coaching change there. I am not sure he is a great fit for the scheme there now. He was already behind Kenny Moore and Jaylon Jones, and they added Charvarius Ward and Corey Ballentine. He seems like a guy who badly needs a change of scenery, and I always like his fit here. Brents is a slower corner at 4.53 with ridiculously long arms and a crazy 3 cone. I'd give them what we got for Kair.
Maybe Jacksonville's Montaric Brown or Jarrian Jones? Seems like they are making changes there.
Just some ideas to try and get guys who maybe could use a change of scenery. I would love to get our hands on Brents. He was made to play in the McDermott scheme.

The guy that there were rumors about Samuel...is still around. I just really hope they add a legit starting corner, otherwise, they are telegraphing their first round draft pick once again.

I don't think he is the tub of goo we (the fans) are really looking for, but he adds depth and I am ok with it if he I really cheap. He is pretty big but he is also pretty tall and long, he isn't the fire hydrant NT type. He's more epoor man's Raekwon Davis, the long nose tackle.
Not the best breakdown, but there is a lot of him playing three tech in here, and some zero.

no one trades a young cheap corner with years left on their deal - they trade the guy that’s either on the cusp of walking for a payday or the guy that’s not fulfilled that contract they already got.
I think that parts just a given with any trade target for the most part
I suppose that’s my point in a backwards way. Newsome is not a great fit here imo, is very expensive and is on the brink of walking. Emerson is a great fit, cheap, and also on the brink of walking. Maybe Newsome is available, but I don’t think the Bills can afford to pay him 14 mil, or would be willing to pay what it cost to get him. IMO the Bills would prefer a guy like Emerson, but the Browns are less likely to want to move him because he is cheap, but he is also on the brink of walking. I don’t think either situation works. -

I’d be calling the browns about their corners honestly. Getting low on options and I think you would like to fill the hole meaningfully before the draft
I’m no expert on him but have seen Greg newsome as a guy that mentioned as a possible offseason trade candidate, as an example
I’m sure gunner can give me a full work up on him before i call it a night
I am not Gunner, but I’ll share my take anyways…I think the issues with Newsome are multiple…first he is a nickel corner. I suppose the Bills could move him back outside, but he’s become a nickel guy. Second he is playing on a 5th year option, so not only is the salary high, nearly 14 million for 1 year, he then becomes a free agent. So you aren’t signing Newsome and Benford. And finally, despite all of those issues with the fit, he will also cost a significant draft pick imo.
The better fit is Martin Emerson. He seemed like a great fit here draft time, he played corner at Mississippi State where McDermott has ties, and he was coming out as a good zone corner. Long arms, a little slower, tackles..he’s a McDermott corner. However, the issue is he is an also a free agent after 2025 so you run into the same issues. I could see the Browns trying to get something for him if they plan to pay Newsome, because they won’t be able to pay Emerson, Newsome, and Ward. But I think a trade for him is more realistic mid season. But I don’t think the Browns would trade a young, cheap, corner unless they want him out or are trying to get something for him before he leaves.

Amazing that you can make that judgment based on 0 information.
I also read a separate article that hinted that they think he might retire, not that he doesn't have the ability anymore.
Thanks, and he may well be done, but Bills brass, who I do not typically support, don't usually say things like that about players.

It's not the Bills' style to do that type of thing. But Browns will be Browns.

What FA's will be able to sign as a result of this?
Nothing left! Maybe a corner or two.

Porter seems like he was made in a lab to play for McDermott. Long arms, zone acumen. The problem is he's like 8 months younger than Benford. Maybe it makes sense to have an older prospect for really cheap to play opposite Benford.

If all else fails you can always trade him to the Cowboys for a 5 and 6 since we jumped them for him. But I do think he comes around.

DK Metcalf was the BPA but we end up with Cody Ford??
Yep. Beane needed a RT.
Really good thread...if someone wants to make one for cornerback that would be cool, since right now that is going to be our first round pick.

I sometimes wonder about signings like this. If fans believe Beane signs guys like this in a vacuum, then I do wonder what the reason why.
Ultimately, I think he doesn't and an OL coach like Aaron Kromer has input. Maybe they think he has a chance to improve.
Yeah I know people trust McDermott with DBs...I am not quite there, but I trust Kromer with OL.
He is very unique in his teaching, teaches techniques that not many other guys teach and because of that he can re-program guys with things that work for them. I feel like he coaches to player's strengths rather than turning them into cookie cutter robots. So if he sees something in Green I'm down.
PFF O line scores mean nothing IMO. It is good at times, I don't agree with their OL stuff.

He's so good. So much better than Sauce despite not having a stupid nickname. Stingley is the real deal.

I can't believe we don't bring him in. 27 steady contributor that could be a better Poyer for 5 yrs. and won't break the bank. What about Ojulari?
I think we need a separate GM who handles FA. I just don't get the seemingly net negative moves and more so the lack of aggression. Do we wait for the phone to ring with offers? Is Darrick better than Blackmon? I would say NO.
I agree. It seemed like they were in on him last year then nothing happened. Then they drafted Bishop and Blackmon actually had a really good year.
I don't agree with it, but I am not sure they bring in real competition because they want Rapp and Bishop to start. Either that or they are targeting someone in the draft.

KIncaid is soft because he is a basketball player. But plenty of players like him have made it eventually. He should go train with Antonio Gates or something. There is talent there, but he is a finesse player.

Not a. Whaley fan but he really did draft BPA. Beane has never done so. He takes his biggest need every year.

Stef Diggs signs with the Pats!

Diggs and Josh McDaniels are about as toxic as you can get for a young quarterback like Drake Maye. Add Vrabel to the equation and a backup quarterback with physical traits like Joe Milton and it is shaping up to be a bad situation for Maye.
