This formula is too complicated to navigate to really use it as a strategy. We have holes to plug, so hopefully the Bills sign some sort of mid to high level free agent and that will cancel out Trubisky. After that, you also have to grab a corner and a DT, plus you need a backup QB. Unless you plug holes with the draft and sit out free agency, it is hard to muster thee picks.

I disagree because I think a rookie left tackle is going to make some mistakes that could get that shiny new toy killed. And if he isn’t going to start at left tackle day 1, he doesn’t deserve to be the #1 pick. Jacksonville should take Hutchinson and sign a veteran like Terron Armstead, or resign their own in Cam Robinson. Passing on a talent like Hutchinson to draft tackles with question marks is nuts to me. Sign a vet, even a guy like Duane Brown. That is what will help Lawrence more than anything imo.

I totally thought that Miami just cut him and forgot he was back on the Pats 🤷‍♂️

Is this the big name? Anyway, guessing he goes to Pittsburgh with Flores.

Same type of hype as Brandon Reilly, David Sills, Austin Proehl etc who came before, extending back to Jordy Nelson who was actually good. Edit: I actually liked Sills' game.

I saw on facebook that the Bills visited with Araiza at the combine. Don't know how to link it or anything. I don't think it is a huge deal, but it is interesting. Are teams limited on how many people they can visit with at the combine?

The Jags are insane if they pass on Hutchinson. What they need is a veteran left tackle to protect Lawrence

Interesting tidbit on Kirk is that apparently best friends with Kyle Allen. They are like childhood best friends and went to A&M together. Explains why they were all together. Kirk is probably the perfect add, and having Kyle Allen as a long term backup behind Josh makes a ton of sense.

Interesting to look at the list of 2018 pre draft guys they had interest in since a bunch of the names on the list will be free agents this offseason. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/sports/erry-2018/04/b675f821924437/2018_nfl_draft_which_prospects.html

Nwosu went in the area where they were drafting in the second round that year before they traded those two picks to move up for Josh Allen. So it makes sense that he may have been their target in the second before the trade up. Nwosu, Donte Jackson, Christian Kirk, Connor Williams, DJ Chark are all guys drafted in that area who are upcoming free agents. Those are the guys they missed out on as a result of the trade. No regerts there. They missed out on Fred Warner, Sam Hubbard, and Mark Andrews because they traded up for Edmunds. Def a little remorse there, but the thought process made sense.

They have a good defense, one of the best offensive lines in league, a running game with Chubb, they had OBJ and Jarvis LANDRY, and three very good tight ends. Their defense has the best defensive end in the league and some pretty good players. I would say that Mayfield is the problem.

To me the Bills have two options, either extend Edmunds now, or trade him now. If they believe in him, (whether the fans do or not is irrelevant) they should extend him now so you can include that qualifying offer money in the guaranteed money package. There is almost no benefit to waiting till next year. He is what he is, and he will probably get a little better over time. If you believe in him and are happy with what you are getting from him, based on what you are asking him to do, extend him now. If you aren't happy with his production, you should trade him now. If they trade him now, I'd go after Walker.

On the current roster it is AJ Klein. In free agency I love Anthony Walker Jr from the Browns. Dude plays downhill and instinctive. Very instinctive. Not as fast or as long as Edmunds, but he can play in this scheme. D’Vondre Campbell, Kwon Alexander, and Josey Jewell work for me as well. There are a whole bunch of guys in this year’s draft who make sense as well. I am not saying they should move on necessarily, but there are options.

He plays DE when they are in Nickel, which is out base D. Fit is probably fine. He has all the same measurables as Jerry Hughes. Dude has a non stop motor and is all over the field when you watch him play. Def more of an OLB, but he still fits here.

That is only if he is cut or traded pre June 1. Post June 1 cut or trade is a much smaller hit. Don’t know if it is likely, but it is totally doable.

Nwosu to me is just a younger Jerry Hughes, which would not be a bad thing. He does not fit the mold of what McDermott looks for in ends, but neither does Jerry.

Guy is a beast. I’m good with it.

I think Anderson goes in the 3rd. Still pretty raw but their is a lot to like.

What would be a big splash though? I want Brandon Scherff. That ain’t selling tickets. A Mack trade would make a ton of sense locally with the UB connects. McCaffrey? He crushes it in jersey sales etc and would be a great fit with Josh. I guess Gronk maybe. Outside of that, I am bot sure there is a big splash that makes sense.

This is silly. But i don’t think Phillips will be back. If you pay him you cut into the Oliver fund. They get the same, if bot better production out of Zimmer for a fraction of the price. I like Phillips, but it really depends on the numbers. Conversations and rumblings happen at the combine and he may already know his price.

I don't think it's going to matter how he throws. That is tiny by industry standards. I think the hands are going to take him off the board of any cold weather outdoor team. I think Dome teams will still consider him in the first, but I think this dings him pretty good. JMO. GMs and people say it doesn't matter, but for many teams it does.

Andy Isabella hands!

I get that their are other punters in the draft, but this regime has been pretty adamant about their preference of a lefty. They went after Bojo, Dustin Colquitt, Michael Palardy, and of course Haack. McDermott preaches field position and flipping the field etc. Araiza seems like exactly what they would want. I get that we don't punt a whole lot, but when we do typically all hell breaks loose. I think this guy makes too much sense. The issue is that there are a few teams with a lot of draft picks in first few rounds and someone will take him early.

Whoever we sign/draft to play corner opposite Tre.
