Depending on how the board falls - if we are going for CB with our first pick - theres a good chance we trade back before selecting. There are a good number of CBs in the draft

I still want 1 more TE from FA - holding my breath on Dan Arnold
-
You know - I wonder how much his stats would have changed last year with a real Off-Season. Also - what new stuff is Daboll going to cook up - the O gets more complicated each year
4800yds passing
400 rushing
42 Passing TDs
6 Rushing TDs
2 TD catches
-
Regarding Brown and if we offered to restructure - we most likely did - and Brown and his agent most likely felt they were worth more. In a non-cap strapped year, with so MANY WRs on the FA market, he probably gets a better deal.
As far as we're concerned - we get someone with roughly the same speed, and of equal or greater skill. John Brown and his contributions to this team can not be understated, but ultimately we are better off with our current WR roster swapping him for Sanders.

So this thread has become a place for people to complain for no-reason and just proof that even if we're winning fans will say we suck and have no idea what we're doing.
I also didn't see - but did anyone actually mention that Taiwan Jones did get some game time in and dropped a wide open TD that one game? It was like watching that TE in the Phins game where when the drop happened it looked like Daboll got shot (still to this day the funniest reaction I've ever seen from a coach, the man didn't even try to break his fall)
-
I'm confused on this topic. Has it shifted from - we pay too much for ST only players, or being made that we have a primarily ST player that happens to also be a RB and people are complaining about game day roster spots?
-
At this point I would say the most likely next step for us is 1-2 more TE's. FA has dried up a bit here but there are the remaining interesting names:
Tyler Eifert
Jesse James
Darren Fells
Trey Burton
Richard Rodgers
Dan Arnold
Jacob Hollister
I think if I had to pick two from this list it would be Dan Arnold and Trey Burton. I see the others on this list as of equal value each with pros and cons.
Special Sneaky Pick-up: Jeremy Sprinkle (truly scraping the bottom of the barrel here)
-
While it would boost our WR grouping - would he really want to be fighting to be our #3/4/5 guy? Also would he want a dirt cheap contract? And can he stay healthy?
Another thing that bothers me with Watkins is - how/why does he magically disappear in games (or for games at a time). Is it effort, mental, something else?
Long story short - Pass.

My only real rooting interest in the draft is the Bills drafting a giant DT.
I'm sure the other picks will be fine and exciting, but I just want a 350+ pound DT out of this draft.
There are a couple other guys on my Big Mamma Jamma list across rounds 2-7. This guy just happens to be the biggest and supposedly understands he's not a sack artist, but enjoys eating blocks. I don't have my list in front of my right now, but there were three notable guys I had at 335+ where you sacrifice the size for possible QB pressure and less need to rotate out the big man.
The real kicker here is that getting a space eater replacement saves something like 8-9 million a year compared to our current cap allocation until they are off their rookie contract. another concern is this guy might go in Round 2 and I really feel like he's a round 3 pick.
-
I mean with the exception of Tyler Matakevich (who we have yet to see his restructured contract), where are we "Dedicating" a ton of money to?
LS: $1.14 Million (for a guy who's name you hope you never hear)
K: $826k
P: $1.5 Million
Taiwan Jones 2021 contract details don't seem to be out
Did I miss something? Because Tyler Matakevich appears to currently be the only ST ace making over $1.5 Million (and that might not be true) and he is a backup ILB

Thats where I am but they do kind of need to sign one too. They only have three on the roster, correct? Yeldon and Jones both FA.
Wade doesn't actually count towards the roster (International Player designation)
And on topic of Lindsay - I'd take him if the price was right.
-
If they want to pay him 1A money with a terrible contract structure - i'm all for it. You won't be able to say the didn't give their QBs a fighting chance. They would at least know for sure if the issue was the weapons of the QB after having JuJu and Davis.

Based on most recent developments:
30. Highest Ranked Edge Rusher on the board
Gregory Rousseau
EDGE, Miami61. CB 2 - highest ranked at our pick and has the bloodline
Asante Samuel Jr.
CB, Florida State93. Star replacement - 365 lbs of "You Shall Not Pass"
Tyler Shelvin
IDL, LSU161. Solid S/Nickle fill - looking to coach up eventual replacement for Hyde and Poyer
Darrick Forrest
S, Cincinnati174. Speed/Slipperiness from the slot
Anthony Schwartz
WR, Auburn211. Eventual RT replacement or Kick into G
Josh Ball
OT, Marshall234. Homerun threat RB for our backfield - Speed we simply don't have currently on the roster in that spot.
C.J. Verdell
RB, Oregon*Special Note - every mock draft simulator I use has us basically having a ton of options at 30 - what we do with the pick will speak volumes. I also feel like there is a high chance that we trade back if anyone from the top of the next round wants to sneak back in. There is some good round 1-4 talent to be had this year the specifically match our needs/wants (Minus TE)

Was originally on my list as a late round project - numbers like that will push him to the middle rounds.

All good points but lets please keep the spirit of the thread on offense. for the most part I agree. with what little money we have left, there is still work to be done..
lol look. Josh has been Injured. He is a passing QB that runs a TON. To much in my opinion in which makes him a bit more injury prone. The question at hand is how good of a talented back up do we need?
We have the ability to open up almost 20 Million in additional cap space - essentially in an instance without it being harmful to us down the line.
While Josh has run a lot in the past - he has certainly been running less as he's progressed - but I acknowledge your point. The issue with getting a Good to Great backup QB is cost. Bringing Matt Markley back on a cheap deal is probably about a good as we can hope for - somewhere under 2 million a year - mainly because of the price but also because of his familiarity with the Offense. Anyone of greater talent is going to cost more to get (and they will ask for more and rightfully so) which would prevent us from filling more immediate needs. The truth is - if Allen is down for a prolonged period of time - we do not have the cap room and roster to carry one of the few second tier QBs as insurance.

I made post about this earlier but this was my general outlook on needs:
Needs (* denotes highest level of need):
QB - Vet backup?
*RB -Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft
**WR - Depth Improvement via FA/Draft
*****TE - Please, anything to improve this situation on our roster (Preferably entirely through FA due to supposed lack of Draft Prospects)
C - Heir Apparent via draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
OT - Heir Apparent via draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
*G - Starter/Depth Improvement or competition over Cody Ford via FA or Draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
*DT - Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft - Big Man Heir to Star in draft
**DE - Starter/Depth Improvement or competition over Mario Addison via FA or Draft - Heir Apparent via draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
ILB - Depth Improvement via FA/Draft -
OLB - Depth Improvement via FA/Draft - (Pending Scheme and Coaching Philosophy add ** if we intend to get a beast SAM OLB and run more traditional 4-3 sets)
**CB - #2 opposite Tre and Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft
S - Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft - Heir Apparent via draft
Some of our needs will also depend on how the coaches feel about certain things.
Is Dane Jackson our #2 CB?
Is Cody Ford really going to be the starting G moving into next season?
Do we really believe Star will be enough of a presence that our DE's will get home?
WE NEED TE's - this is by far the only true major hole - we can't even say that we can consider our players would equate to average overall.
Can we start getting future replacements for our aging vets?
and lastly
OLB - Are we married to the 2 LB concept or could we possibly be in the market (FA/Draft - This year/next year) for true SAM OLB - moving Milano to WILL which imo would shore up the run D a little bit and could help with TEs that run free while also being another person the QBs would have to be concerned about. I dream of a 3 LB set with Milano and Tre showing Double A gap pre-snap and having a monster come in off the edge when the both drop back into coverage (rather than a safety or CB doing this role- which not saying don't have it in the play book - just adds another wrinkle for opposing teams to need to study)
On the same point - Could we be in the market for FA/Drafting a Tweener LB/Safety

Still want another vet and/or draft for CB.

..... man, the people here who think Edmunds is bad are ridiculous, not to mention - ok you got rid of him..... and you want what - Tyler "Special Teams Ace" Matakevich to start? All because YOU think he's not good (unlike coaches and player around the league where this is there job think highly of his play) and you think he'll "cost too much" in 1 to 2 years. 1 yr from now if we pick up his 5th yr option is 12 million, and 2 years from now the cap is going to be over $210 million. If you are really that concerned about his money - think of it this way, by the time we even have to worry about it, Star won't be here and his contract cost can just be put to Edmunds and it would be a wash.
But yes - lets go get a TE, and leave a giant hole in the middle of a D that already has issues because we play 2 LB sets instead of traditional 3 LB ones.
-
Wanted to just lay out our team and what I see us doing moving forward. I won't be able to get this all down in one go (I actually tried to do this prior to FA but ran out of time and decided you guys didn't need a the read all my thoughts). So I'll update this post twice - Once with FA notes and suggestions, and a second time with Draft notes, hopes, and all that jazz. So without wasting more of your time lets get into our Roster as it stands.
Warning: Long Read Ahead
QB: Josh Allen, Jake Fromm, Davis Webb (2/1)
Simple take here - would personally like to see a more proven backup and/or vet presence but I guess this all depends on how the Bills feel about Fromm and how tight we are with roster spots. If we stick with this it's 2 Roster Spots and a PS Spot
RB: Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, Christian Wade, Antonio Williams. (3/0/1)
I think our RBs are ok. Maybe even slightly above average - they just aren't homerun hitters or Pro-Bowlers. Some of it is their physical limitations, some of this is our O-Line played like poo often when run blocking. Would I like to see us add a vet or homerun hitter.... yes.... but cost is going to be a factor. I think Williams should actually get a bigger look in camp - his showing against the phins last season with our backups in was really impressive. Wade is a cool story but still learning - unless he can somehow impress, he will just continue to be a nice story and help push the international agenda. Assuming no addition we have 3 Roster spots and 1 international player exception.
WR: Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davis, Emmanuel Sanders, Jake Kumerow, Duke Williams, Isaiah Hodgins, Tanner Gentry. (6/2)
So our top 4 are set here as Diggs, Beasley, Davis, and Sanders and frankly that's a really nice group. That leaves us with 2-3 spots for 4-5 players. Correct me if I'm wrong but most teams carry 6 WRs on their roster or maybe (as we have done previously) 7 WRs with 1 taking return duties. My take here is Jake Kumerow is a bigger, faster, version of Duke Williams and can run a fuller tree. Isaiah Hodgins was supposedly having an amazing camp - similar to Davis - before his injury and is possibly the heir apparent to Beasley. Tanner Gentry was PS guy who happened to play with Allen. If we only keep 2 for the roster, for me it would be Kumerow and Hodgins. I still would really like to have McKenzie back no only for the gadget plays, but for backup to Beasley and as our ST returner. Current roster based on this list I assume is 6 roster spots and 2 PS with a need to get someone (at least 1 viable contributor) via FA or Draft.
TE: Dawson Knox, Tommy Sweeney, Nate Becker (2/1)
Before we start - Big Baller Beane being able to Trade Lee Smith is absolutely incredible. Love Smith as as blocker and a sneaky pass option but really that's what he's limited to and towards the true twilight of his career. Knox is the Bills version of Engram from the Giants only slightly less athletic. Makes some great plays here and there, makes some costly drops that make you groan. Tommy Sweeney - really an unknown at this point - also I have concerns about the heart condition that came about as a result of COVID.... I know virtually nothing about Nate Becker who is a PS member. This as it stands right now is a 2 roster spots and a PS spot with a desperate need to upgrade via FA (draft intel this year says it's basically Pitts and then nothing so I'm not holding my breath there). There are some really nice options in FA and I really hope we bring in two vets to hash out what is by far our weakest part of the team.
C: Mitch Morse (1)
I mean let's just call him what his is - Solid. Nothing superb, but above average pass blocking, about average for run blocking. Some people here seem to have forgotten how bad it was not having a starting caliber center for that 1 year. That being said, he is injury prone and I would really like to draft his heir apparent either this year or next. I would lean on a draft replacement just looking at salary hit and the desire to spend elsewhere. This is 1 Roster Spot
OG: Jon Feliciano, Cody Ford, Jordan Devey (3)
So we have our starters here plus a guy that we apparently lived enough to offer a contract to prior to FA starting. It's a bit interesting since both Feliciano and Ford can be moved a bit on the line Ford to Tackle, and Feliciano to C. I would be far more comfortable if we had another Guard ahead of Ford. I'd also be more comfortable if we had an upgrade over Feliciano - but I will give credit where it's due, they are probably both either average or slightly above average and we could certainly do a lot worse. I know little to nothing about Devey and would really prefer it if he was on the PS. That being said - as of right now this is 3 roster spots. I would love a return and continued coaching up of Ike Boetegger or another Vet or a draft pick spent here in the next two years (Feliciano isn't getting younger and of the Line positions G is our weakest now and looking forward)
OT: Dion Dawkins, Daryl Williams, Ryan Bates, Trey Adams (4)
Our starters are solid - no complaints on their performance or cost. Ryan Bates literally plays every position on the line and well enough for a backup that I hope we never let him walk. Trey Adams is the tackle prospect that has been slowly working back from injury. I assume he is still working his way back and hope he continues - if memory serves me right prior to the injury he was an elite prospect and thought to be a potential first rounder. That being said - I would prefer a vet and moving Adams to PS while he is developed and/or draft pick (Daryl Williams isn't getting younger). Currently this is 4 roster spots
DT: Star Loutelelei, Vernon Butler, Ed Oliver, Harrison Phillips, Justin Zimmer (5)
So for a unit on the team that has 5 members, they are all so far average with occasional flashes and/or aging and the need to look ahead to replacements is a major focus. I'll work in reverse order here. Justin Zimmer was a really nice surprise and I hope he continues to be developed. Harrison Phillips probably will have his best year this year being a second year back from injury - I really like him in a backup role, I think he's extremely capable. Ed Oliver - work in progress, I think the change in scheme and move to NFL level talent and concepts has been tough on him mentally. I expect him to continue to grow - however at this point I think he is essentially average. Butler is here just to be a Vet and be in on big packages. Speaking of big packages - Star - who's sole job is to eat blocks was missed last year - however, it should be noted that his numbers do not really warrant his contract. I fully expect this to be his last year with the team and I have a bit of a draft crush on his possible replacement. I understand the need to eat up space/blockers/and lanes - but I do not think he does so at a level that justifies his current contract - getting younger here would be my preference. There are some FA names i'd be interested in - but i'm concerned on cap space. Putting this as 5 roster spots
DE: Jerry Hughs, Mario Addison, A.J. Epenesa, Byran Cox Jr. Darryl Johnson, Brandin Bryant, Mike Love. (4/3)
Lord have mercy - so many names - Lets get the PS guys who are fan favorites out of the way. Mike Love, Bryan Cox Jr, and Brandin Bryant (who also plays DT) are our PS guys and have all been favorites during off-season's of the past) Jerry Hughs has been one of the greatest player-for-player trades we've ever made, it's sad to see time catching up to him - although still extremely effective even if the sacks aren't there. A.J Epenesa is obviously or work in progress and the Cover-1 video certainly makes me feel better about his development. Darryl Johnson I think is a pretty decent backup. which leaves Mario Addison. While I would love to see Epenesa take his place - I feel like he needs another year or two of development. Addison is essentially just a veteran placeholder until we can get someone worth a dam(above average) in his spot. Frankly we need to be looking for Hugh's replacement as well (last year under contract with us). Would have loved a FA signing here - but it's a hard market. I expect it to be something we highly consider in the draft. This is 4 roster spots and 3 PS spots.
ILB: Tremaine Edmunds, Tyler Matakevich, Andre Smith (3)
I don't understand the hate Edmunds gets on this board. He is above average an on his rookie contract. He's also improving each year. You would be hard pressed to find a cheaper replacement that would yield the same level of play or better without having to make a trade that didn't really swing in our favor. I feel much better about Tyler Matakevich with the fact that he has restructured - his contract hit was simply too high for a year like this to justify his money. I know little to nothing about Andre Smith but considering we signed him to a two yr deal before FA started I assume the coaches like him. This is 3 roster spots. I would love to see an upgrade here in terms of capable back up (when Edmunds is out.... ouch), but cost is a limiting factor. I expect a possible FA signing and/or Draft (draft and stash) before the season starts. This is 3 roster spots.
OLB: Matt Milano, A.J. Klein, Tyrel Dodson (3)
Milano is pretty good, not phenomenal, but 100% above average. A.J. Klein might have found a home (although I don't really like his cap hit) - it's hard to hate a guy that truly gives it his all but is the textbook definition of a half-step too slow. Tyrel Dodson is our last back up here and probably about average for a 3rd stringer. Now I know we don't run a true 4-3, instead we run 4/2/5 with either extra corners or safetys in. I don't know if this is our scheme or due to the fact that we don't have a beast SAM OLB. Milano is great in his ability to play both WILL and SAM and be above average in both - but he is no menace - he is no boom-stick - he is not a "throw or run it here at your own peril". The question is, "IF" we had an imposing SAM OLB the wrecked absolute devastation on his side of the field both in passing (was not a hinderance when covering TEs) and rushing - would we run more traditional 4-3 sets. Only coaching knows, and that makes FA and Draft difficult to predict for us. As with our other LB spot, would love a FA and/or Draft pick spent here but this is entirely dependent on coaching philosophy and feel. 3 roster spots
CB: Tre'Davious White, Taron Johnson, Dane Jackson, Cam Lewis (4)
So we have our main man Tre and he's a national treasure. Taron Johnson who is our slot guy and is average to above average. Which leads us to our question/problem/conundrum, who is our #2 CB. IS Dane Jackson that guy? Wouldn't that be something is he was, but I'm not sold on him just yet. Cam Lewis is strictly a backup and I'm good with his roster spot. There are a TON like, an absolutely insane amount of CBs on the FA market currently and I think we need to highly consider bringing in 1 or 2 along with drafting one. If we could solidify the #2 CB position it could help our DL. There are two common trains of thought - The DL is so good, the DBs don't have to cover for as long or the inverse, The DBs are so good, the DL has extra time to get home. We are stuck in average limbo that leans slight on the DBs giving our line extra time. This is 4 roster spots.
Safety: Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Siran Neal, Jaquan Johnson, Josh Thomas (4/1)
So we're pretty set on Hyde and Poyer, I don't think I really need to discuss them. Siran Neal is a capable backup. Jaquan Johnson I think was someone we drafted with hopes to develop and has become a ST contributor. Josh Thomas is a PS guy currently. I feel like we need to get a FA in (bring back Dean) but really I would feel more comfortable having another vet on the team. Would also like to look into drafting an heir apparent to Hyde/Poyer because they aren't exactly spring chicks. This is 4 roster spots and 1 PS spot.
*Last 4 guys before wrapping up this first post
FB: Reggie Gilliam (1)
Scored a TD in his rookie year and won out over Dimarco. Not much to say here unless we're talking the value of his roster spot
LS: Reid Ferguson (1)
Because you need 1 and the less you hear about them the better they are. No complaints (outside of his brother being a Phin)
K: Tyler Bass (1)
What a find. Nice to know we should have this position locked up for a long time to come.
P: Matt Haack (1)
Because you need 1 and I guess so long as he's as good as BoJo I won't complain. If he's better - that makes it even better.
So where does this leave us as FA continues and the Draft gets closer:
Special Teams (And FB): 4 Roster Spots
Offense: 21 Roster Spots [4 PS Spots + 1 International Exception Spot]
Defense: 23 Roster Spots [4 PS Spots]
So we have 5 Open Roster Spots and 2 Open PS Spots
We have ~$9.7 Million in Cap Space (NOT counting Matakevich Restructure, Matt Haack Signing, Lee Smith Trade, Emmanuel Sanders Signing)
Estimated cost of Rookie Class ~$6million
Most noted ways of making additional cap space:
$7.5 Million Tre White Option Bonus (Cap Relief this year - minimal hit when revenue returns)
$7.5 million Dion Dawkins Option Bonus (Cap Relief this year - minimal hit when revenue returns)
Extend Stefon Diggs with favorable Cap Hit for this year.
Needs (* denotes highest level of need):
QB - Vet backup?
*RB -Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft
**WR - Depth Improvement via FA/Draft
*****TE - Please, anything to improve this situation on our roster (Preferably entirely through FA due to supposed lack of Draft Prospects)
C - Heir Apparent via draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
OT - Heir Apparent via draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
*G - Starter/Depth Improvement or competition over Cody Ford via FA or Draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
*DT - Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft - Big Man Heir to Star in draft
**DE - Starter/Depth Improvement or competition over Mario Addison via FA or Draft - Heir Apparent via draft and/or additional backup if roster space allows
ILB - Depth Improvement via FA/Draft -
OLB - Depth Improvement via FA/Draft - (Pending Scheme and Coaching Philosophy add ** if we intend to get a beast SAM OLB and run more traditional 4-3 sets)
**CB - #2 opposite Tre and Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft
S - Starter/Depth Improvement via FA/Draft - Heir Apparent via draft

Realistically though - someone tell me what we are supposed to trade here. What are we giving up for CJ Mosely - who by some here is supposedly such an amazing ILB. This is a marginal upgrade at a position where we have an above average to just below elite player already home grown and entrenched - if we are looking to add someone at 20 million a year - i'd rather find two Guards at 10 million a year that let us run the ball down the opposing teams throat....
Also - while not super popular - I really like some of the LBs in the draft and wonder if we would run more true 4-3 fronts if we had a beast SAM OLB instead of a WILL that we sometimes play at SAM. I'm more than happy with a poor mans Luke Kuechly but I have a bit of an unreasonable dream that we get Zaven Collins and let him just unleash 260 pounds of fury off the edge. (you can also read this as, I'd rather we traded for a true SAM rather than a marginal improvement at MIKE)
-
I cannot imagine a world in which we would trade anything for CJ Mosely and consider it a good value. Let's look at this objectively:
- what would we "trade" for him?
- why would we trade for him?
- is the upgrade really worth the cap hit?
- considering he hasn't played in almost two years, where is here physically and mentally?
- are there more pressing needs to be addressed?
- if they are shopping him now, they will be shopping him later - what's the rush?
- could his contract be any worse?
If we want a Jet's ILB go out and get Neville Hewitt who actually played and did so at a decent enough level that he deserves middle of the road starter money somewhere (I'd gladly take him as depth on backup money here). This is not the most pressing area of need for us though and we should NOT trade for what can only be seen as a terrible contract that had unfortunate returns for the Jets due to unforeseeable circumstances.
The last question is - What would you be willing to give up in this trade and how are you justifying it?

You might want to research first. Coach McD asked ST coordinator for player he needed most to improve special teams and he said Tyler Matakevich. Beane is not going to cut him when he did not underperform. Darron Lee was signed after KC after he was cut who get him from JEST; he is not even on Bills roster now.
So just to put this out there - in a year where teams are super tight against the cap Tyler Matakevich and his 3.7 million dollar contract is a luxury for a ST contributor that you would HOPE you could find someone else to do his assignment on his limited plays during a game. At no point did I say he underperformed. I am however outright stating that he should be an immediate candidate for cap crunch cut.
1) Darron Lee was being stashed on our Practice Squad - the fact that he was not living up to his initial draft hype on the Jets is irrelevant.
2) The Bills protected him from weeks 12 through 17 so he couldn't be poached
3) Darron Lee primarily played Special Teams in KC after moving to essentially 4th on the rotation for ILB
If Darron Lee is even remotely capable of filling Tyler Matakevich's position - we should 100% do so for the more favorable cap number.

So - I'm working on a large post but here is some food for thought for the grand wizard bean to pull out
-Exercise contract clause in both of Tre and Dawkwins contracts allowing them to pay forward/move around their last year of their respective deals which frees up a total of 15 million
- Extend Diggs with a smaller cap hit for this season (Let's say 5 million saved towards this year)
- Cut Tyler Matakevich (save ~3.5 million)
- Cut Lee Smith (save 2.25 million)
Suddenly we have 20 million more to work with.
*Clarification on Point #1 - Both White and Dawkins have a team optional extra year addition to their contract at the cost of giving them a 7.5 million dollar sign bonus which allows the Bills to move that amount off the books from this year and spread it out over the lifetime of each contract as they see fit
*Lee Smith is thinking of retiring - and the TE market this offseason is sneaky deep - imo just CUT him and let him mull it over on his own time or get a head start on finding another team
* How the hell are we paying Tyler Matakevich that much - with a dead cap hit of just 350k he should be all but gone, the worst case put Darron Lee in there from where ever the hell we stashed him.

Oh man - pretty sure everyone is on board will selecting Tyler Shelvin if he's there in round 3 lol. Guess we all agree we need some girth on the D-line (easy with the puns)
