They need to be elite to be picked in the top ten imo. Trade down? Sure. Otherwise it's a wasted pick with little upside. If they aren't in the Quentin Nelson, class you don't do it. I believe you should't do it for left tackles either...unless they are elite. They elite talent in the class are defensive tackles, Allen and Bosa, Devin White. The exception to this is when the Titans took Jack Conklin. It was a sort of weak draft after the top five so they drafted for need. But the passed on Leonard Floyd, Tunsil, Taylor Decker to do so. If Williams or Taylor are teh BPA at 9, fine take them. I count 12 defensive prospects better than those guys. Seriously everyone, please understand that Jonah Williams and Taylor and Little are nowhere near the elite talent that Quentin Nelson is. Not even close.

I think Lawrence definitely gets the franchise tag and I am assuming Clowney does as well. But I think Trey Flowers from New England maybe hits the market. I think they may use the tag on Gostkowski.

In the 2017 draft I really liked Trubisky and I was intrigued by Mahomes. I did not like Watson at all. But deep down I really wanted to wait for 2018 and get Josh Allen. He seemed like the prototype quarterback the Bills had been looking for, for a very long time. Big, huge arm, big hands etc etc etc. As we approached the draft in 2018 I didn't think we would get a shot at Allen. So I started to study Rosen a lot and started to feel very strongly that he was our guy. I did not like Mayfield or Jackson. I liked Allen, Rosen, Darnold. On draft night I was somewhat disappointed for about 2 seconds, because I really convinced myself that we were going to draft Rosen. I realized that I should have stuck with my gut all along and stayed loyal to the idea of Josh Allen. I flip flopped a bit, but I really was okay with Darnold, Allen, or Rosen. I've been very happy watching him play. The last time I was excited about a Bills quarterback was Drew Bledsoe, and Jim before that obviously. Allen is the real deal. He's humble, hard working, smart, and has ridiculous athletic upside as a passer and runner. There is a ton of work to be done, but I truly believe we have found our guy for the long haul. He's perfect for Buffalo.

I was thinking about the Chicago model on my way in to work. I think it is a great point.

I will keep beating the Mitch Morse drum, but he's a better player than Paradis. I know PFF grades Paradis higher, but Paradis is a zone center. Smallish, athletic, Gary Kubiak type center, Tom Nalen type. He is not scheme versatile. Morse can fit into any scheme, blocks with power and is really good pass blocking. He's had some injuries, but he is the better player and fit. If we wind up bringing in zone type scheme next year, then Paradis makes sense, but Morse is the guy you really want. He's a great fit for Buffalo. Don't be blinded by PFF grades, look at the whole picture. Morse has been huge for Mahomes and would be great for Josh. Morse has injury concerns, but he is the better player.

Beane says he will not draft for need. I believe him. If he reaches on any of those guys, he's full of it. When teams draft for need that's how guys like JJ Watt and Aaron Donald fall. I hope the teams in front us make that type of mistake.

His ceiling is so much higher than Williams, but he's a right tackle imo. I am not drafting either of those guys in the top ten.

These guys should just stay home, stay single, and swim in their money like Scrooge McDuck. Maybe make love to a microwaved bagel once in a while. Its seems these issues are so easily avoidable, but some of these dudes just don't know how to avoid them.

I think there's something in my eye

Tasker needs to get in. Also getting annoyed at how easy it is for recievers to get in all of a sudden. Andre had to wait, Art Monk. It's dumb that it is so easy all of a sudden. Edgar Martinez needs to get in too. But we probably don't need to worry too much about the HOF for a while.

I think Lock will dominate the combine for sure. Haskins probably does to. I think the Giants take one for sure. Jaguars should sign Teddy Bridgewater.

I appreciate the effort. I love what you did with free agency there. Morse, Conley, Humphries, Williams should be big time pursuits of ours. If we landed Humphries, I'd offer Zay Jones to the Chargers for Forrest Lamp. I don't love the draft, but I'm okay with a receiver if there is a trade down. But I still think we go defensive tackle round 1. Nice job.

He isn't drafting a receiver in the top ten. He will not draft for need and reach.

Im assuming they have to let Suh walk. Maybe Ethan Westbrooks. But besides Saffold I think their main priority would be LaMarcus Joyner. They have about 30 something million in cap space next year. They could cut/trade Barron, Talib, Brockers, Peters, and Robey-Coleman take on like 5 million in dead money and gain over 40 million in cap space. Not saying they should or would, but I could see them moving 1 or two of those guys to keep Saffold and Joyner if they needed to. I would be all over Brockers if I was the Bills.

I actually like the upside of Taylor way more than the upside of Jonah Williams. Call me crazy. But I do think Taylor is really the prototype right tackle. I think there is going to be too much defensive talent on the board at 9 to draft Williams or Taylor. I think Paradis goes to a team like the Jets, though it really depends on who they hire. But he probably stays in Denver. I think Mitch Morse is the better fit, but Paradis would be cool. Foster is a good player but 32. I feel strongly that they are going to target guys in that 26-27 range coming off their rookie contract. Quinton Spain, Mark Glowinski, Daryl Williams, guys like that, so that you can put together a line that can gel and have sustained success for multiple seasons.

Saffold wants to stay in LA and said he would give a home count discount to do so. He was considered a bust and kept working and has finally found his grove. He isn't leaving there unless they don't want him back imo. The problem with the Khalil idea is he stabilizes the line for what? One season? If he can even stay healthy. I think we need a long term starter there.

I think teams have gotten away from fake field goals. Your wing backs and tight ends are usually massive, slow lineman. Pretty sure Harrison Phillips was one on our field goal unit. Most teams would rather just leave their offense, with all their multi million $ skill players on there to go for it on forurth down and such.

I think Cory Carter will give him a run for his money next year. I think it will be a competition.

I really just think it is because they have nothing else to do. Since the kicker, long snapper, and punter don't have to participate in all of the football drills in practice they can go off, be their own entity, and master the timing of the snap hold kick process. Having a quarterback do it, when he has a million other things to worry about, is probably part of the thought process for coaches when they started doing this. Back in the day more quarterbacks did this, but it wasn't such a specialized skill. Now it has to have very specific timing etc. It needs to be perfect every time. Quarterbacks don't have time for that.

Babich is a legend. If he believes in Tremaine, I don't question it. He was ecstatic when we landed Tremaine. I think he knows more than a few message baord guys reading PFF. He's developed some great players...not just Urlacher. Great coach.

He definitely regressed. I don't think he is long for this roster. I hope he did not get complacent. I for one am not super happy with the defensive line coaching. The drop off for Waufle to Teerlink is massive. I'd like to see some more experience brought in there.

it's weird that they didn't give this award to LVE...strange ? Anyway, I'm super excited about Tremaine. Sky is the limit for this guy and if they start letting him rush teh passer from time to time, he will show off his skill there as he did against Miami.

I like Reid because I know nothing about him. Which is perfect for a long snapper. If you never hear his name, it means he is doing his job.

That's some really open and honest stuff. Wow, he even kind of calls out Riley Reiff. I thought his comments on Dion Dawkins are actually on point though. I actually think Dawkins has been pretty solid. Watch other teams' left tackles...Dawkins is not a guard.

So according to pro football reference, Harrison played 38% of the defensive snaps. That is not almost no reps dude. Star, a starter and big FA acquisition played just 47% of the snaps. Defensive lineman here are rotational players. Harrison had ample opportunity and did nothing. Pencilling him in as some kind of impact player is a massive mistake. Signing a depth player like Jordan Phillips is not the answer. If DT is BPA, it will 100% be the pick. 3 tech is a huge need on this team.
