They will wind up drafting Jack Campbell just to grind my gears.

Edmunds will be fine wherever because of the type of athlete he is, people will find a way to use him. Poyer will not be okay if he leaves. He will regret leaving after he gets the bag and rides off into the sunset. Scheme fit is paramount for Poyer imo.

I think if all things are equal, he will choose sun and tax-free, unless the offers are really terrible.

I suppose if I was Eric Wood it would make sense for me to publicly bemoan his abilities so I can see people come out and defend my play.

Yeah an average center won't help with any of that.

I would be okay with it, but slightly disappointed. I just want more impact with a first-round pick. Does that mean boom or bust? Yes. The solid starter is a meh for me.

They still picked the wrong guy because Max Unger, who went round two was better. Drafting a center to play him at guard didn't make a whole lot of sense honestly. Wood was okay over his career. Not worth a first imo.

LB Jordan Kunaszyk Former Panther! It tracks!

It's probably about the cardi b-offset meal at McDonalds. Or like some local auction or something.

I think there are 6 guys teams would be willing to trade 2 first-round picks for: Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow, Hurts, and Lawrence. I think the price hurts Jackson. I also think people are looking at that Russell Wilson trade and seeing how giving up all that draft capital is probably not the answer. I like Lamar but he has sat out so much and it seems like the book on stopping him may have been found. I would love to see what he could do outside of a Greg Roman offense and if I were a team like Tampa Bay, I would be all over him. If I'm the Jets, same. If I were the Patriots I am calling Baltimore and offering Mac Jones and picks. These teams have pretty good rosters and are a QB away from competing. If I am the Commanders, same. The fact that some of these teams flat-out said they have no interest is indeed weird and may be an attempt to discourage guys from representing themselves. That is where he makes his most critical mistake.

I agree with you on the overall class. It is actually an interesting bunch. However, I still think this regime is chasing sacks and looking for that premiere, cheap pass rusher. Guys like Zach Harrison, Tyree Wilson, Myles Murphy, Keion White, Van Ness and Isaiah Foskey...these guys look like they were built in a lab to play for McDermott. I do like their interest in Nolan Smith as he represents kind of a different flavor than what they are used to...a Hassan Reddick type of end. I honestly wouldn't be mad at any of them.

People will probably hate this but here goes....Talking heads are beginning to mock edge rushers to the Bills. And I know it grinds some people's gears, but it is a need. Once Von got hurt, no one could get to the quarterback. Obviously, they have needs at OL and offensive weapons, but in theory, they can add OL in FA and later in the draft. If all the 1st round receivers are gone, your next best bet for an offensive weapon is a TE or RB (which can also be found in free agency). What can't be found in free agency is sacks, and so I think there is some merit to that thought process. If it really is BPA based on need, here are the needs IMO: Edge, LB, Safety, OL, offensive weapons. I think OL and LB get knocked out in UFA, I really do. If they sign OBJ, there is the OW. Outside of OBJ, DJ Chark, Mecole Hardman, and Noah Brown, the WR UFA crew doesn't really excite me. If they can't add a WR, that leaves you with edge, WR, #2TE, and safety as needs. Unless a top WR falls, the value is at the edge position.

Definitely not. The tag for Tremaine is 21 million and for Poyer it's 14. I could see a transition tag on Tremaine at 17 million. That gives them the right to match offers, but no compensation. But I still do not think they will go there. I think they are ok with losing Tremaine and paying someone half of that to replace him.

Side note but the bill is going to come due in Cincinnati too. And their owner is still a renowned cheapskate. The have yet to pay Burrow, Chase, Higgins. They are set maybe lose Mixon and maybe Perine. They have Hendrickson for 2 more years, Dj Reader for 1. Tyler Boyd, Awuzie, Collins have 1 more year. They are set to lose Germaine Pratt, Von Bell, Jessie Bates this year and Logan Wilson is a free agent after next year. They have to decide what to do with Jonah Williams. Their window is probably this year and maybe next.

I just think the Bills don't have the draft capital to do it. Whereas a team like the Texans have 12 picks and could easily add a guy like this. Or the Falcons, Seahawks, Raiders or Chiefs who have 9 picks.

I feel pretty strongly that LB is a position they are going to add a young vet. I love Campbell and Simpson, but I don't think they wait until the draft to add a QB for their defense. Pratt is by far my favorite option in UFA, followed by guys like Drue Tranquill, Cole Holcomb, Bobby Okereke...all of those guys can replace Tremaine at various price ranges, but won't approach what Tremaine will make because of his prospect shine and perceived upside. If they go and sign a guy like Anthony Walker Jr. or Zach Cunnigham to a 1-year deal, then they are very likely to draft a LB early imo. To me, LB and OL are the two places they will add mid-level guys via UFA.

PFF had him like 3 years 24 million. Something along those lines. I think that can easily be done under the cap. The Bills can't do a 20-mill-a-year guy and I think that is what Beane means when he says no Von Miller-level addition.

People need to start cutting offensive linemen. Like Joel Bitonio or Shaq Mason or something, please.

I could see a job share, but yes I agree. I've already lost my mind at this point in my life, but I hear you.

I prefer a Germaine Pratt long-term guy. However, Kendricks as a bridge to a guy like Trenton Simpson would work for me as well. However, Kendricks will wind up in NYG, Raiders, or Dallas.

I would ask this, where would these wide receivers rank in last year's draft? You've got London, Wilson, Olave, Williams, Dotson...I think all of those guys would have been drafted in the first before any of these guys. (Obviously Pickens as well but he went later than he should have). Johnston to me is interesting because of the upside. The rest I really don't think are first-round picks at all. Same with the OL. Pete Skoronski is a second-round pick if he comes out in that group. Torrence is probably a 3rd. The top five TEs are all better than McBride from last year IMO. When it comes to defensive players, they are right up there with those top guys from last year IMO. This year, more than most, I think the Bills really need to stay true to their board, and I know people get upset, the BPA with the highest upside and true first-round grade at 27 is probably a defensive player or a TE.

Yeah, I think you will hear him talk up guys like Gabe Davis and Terrell Bernard and the Benford to safety stuff, the same way they talked up Dane Jackson last year. Same deal with the linemen, all in an effort to hide his intentions.

Yeah I'll pass on Robinson. I just don't think he provides what this team needs. If the Rams cut him, take a peak.

Thanks. Simpson maybe is hurt by the whole Isaiah Simmons thing. But I do think Simpson is definitely an in box off ball backer. He oozes the process stuff graduating in three years and coming from a military family in North Carolina. I think UFA will kind of be a tell. If they sign a guy like Germaine Pratt for 3 years 24 million, then I think they might be out of the LB market. If they start talking up Terrel Bernard and sign a 1 year stop gap, then I would think Simpson and maybe Campbell will be on the table early. How early? Who knows? but I do think he and Campbell continue to rise in the process just because they are such productive, solid dudes.

I am sure I maybe missed one so feel free to add.
