Hello fellow Bills fans, welcome to my question of the day, I hope you all are well and moving on from the recent Diggs stuff.
I was reading this ESPN article that came out today about Belichick and him not being hired or even considered in this last NFL coaching job carousel - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39955777/how-patriots-legend-bill-belichick-end-nfl-job
Belichick was a defensive coordinator who became an offensive guru. Is it at all possible for McD to have a similar career path? My gut overwhelmingly tells me no, but I do wonder....
Let me know your thoughts and why!
"hello fellow Bills fans"
Who do you work for???

Yeah, because fans know more than the scouts and GM that do it for a living.🤡
I’m sure most of the crew here would tell Beane and his crew exactly what to do. Monday morning quarterbacks know best

Once we get this all figured out can someone send a “best of OBD” over to Beane and Co. to make sure they get it right?

Every year there are teams that take a player most had pegged as third rounders in the first round, whether it be the Raiders, New England, whoever. Who will it be this year? Which team, or teams, will reach for a player that makes everyone say “Huh?”. I love when this happens because it just means someone is falling closer to the Bills.
The Raiders will come through for us

"Josh Allen type"??

Some of us had josh Allen as a 5th round draft pick.

We'll use the $ next year to sign Von's replacement

Diggs was a great receiver for the Bills and it's no coincidence that Josh's career took off with his arrival.
It's disappointing to see so many Bills fans turn on diggs

f fully expect beane to slightly trade up for a WR he likes, similar to last year.

I loved Legettes 2023 film but there are major concerns ….. please read the negatives .
(Grabbed this profile breakdown)
Xavier Legette Prospect Analytical Profile
Measurements
Height: 6-1
Weight: 221
Positives:
Surprise, the first positive noted for a prospect is his athleticism. Not to take away from Legette as he does have some insane athletic measurables. Legette scored a 9.89 RAS, which surprisingly only ranks 6th in this year's WR class. Legette ran a 4.39 at 221lb with a 40" vertical and 10’ 6’’ broad jump, all of which are elite in their respective measurements.
Legette is as physical as it gets and is able to use his size/athleticism to his advantage.
Legette's physicality works particularly well against man coverage where Legette had a 2.28 career YPRR and a PFF Grade of 85.6 vs Man in 2023.
Legette did not get a lot of playing time prior to 2023, but in his first full year as a starter, he put up some impressive numbers. In 2023, Legette had a YPRR of over 3.00 and a PFF grade of 82.5.
Legette's on-paper stats in 2023 were impressive - 1,255 receiving yards in only 12 games with 7 touchdowns and an insane yards/rec of 17.7.
Despite his size, Legette played a fair amount of snaps in the slot throughout his career, showing positional versatility. Legette played 25.6% of his career snaps in the slot and had an impressive 443 receiving yards in the slot in 2023, making up for 35% of his production. With his raw skills as a receiver, but insane athleticism and physicality, Legette's ideal role may be as a big-slot in the NFL.
Legette also showed the ability to be a plus deep threat in 2023. 44% of Legette's 2023 production came on deep yards and 64% of his career receiving yards were air yards.
Negatives:
Unfortunately, Legette does have a long list of negatives and red flags in his analytical profile. Starting with Legette having an extremely concerning 5th-year breakout.
Legette is already 23 years old, months before getting drafted. Legette also had a late, late breakout age of 22.
I did previously mention 2023 being Legette first full year as a starter. However, that wasn't because of injury or really a lack of playing time. Prior to 2023, Legette played in 41 games and ran almost 600 routes in 4 years with very little production.
Regardless of the reasoning, his late breakout is extremely concerning for a prospect and poses the question of whether or not Legette's 2023 production was heavily skewed due to being a literal man amongst boys.
Legette has a relatively low career QBR when targeted where he ranks 30th in this year's class.
Legette has an atrocious career YPRR of 1.55. There are 35 prospects in my predictive draft model. Legette ranks dead last in career YPRR by a considerable margin. The prospect with the 2nd to last career YPRR is at 1.60.
Legette also ranks extremely low in TDPRR (30th) and First Down PRR (last again).
Legette had an awful career PFF grade vs Zone of 61.10, also dead last amongst 35 prospects.
Despite an impressive 2023 season, Legette's overall production profile is abysmal, especially for someone who played 53 career games.
Contested catch is often marked as a positive for Legette in his draft breakdowns. However, Legette ranks relatively low in contested catch rate, converting only 43% of his contested targets.If we're down to Franklin and Legette at 28 I'd like to see us trade back.

Haven't heard much about Legette lately. Is he now firmly seen as a 2nd rounder? If so, top of the second round or where?
If we still want him, is the better strategy to take someone else in the first and 28 and trade up for him in the 2nd? Or trade down from the first and get another second and extra picks? I guess it depends if there's a D-lineman we really like in the first, or perhaps a center?Yes, and yes

Raw at 24 isn’t ideal. Raw at 21 isI agree. Do not want to see him taken by us at 28

Legette has McBeane written all over him. Raw and plenty of intangibles. Trade out of 28 and stock picks.

I liked Rapp out of college too. He has not been good in the pros.
Rapp has been inconsistent. The talent most definitely IS there. I fully believe our coaching staff will bring the best out of Rapp and Edwards as they've show us time and time again.

No, not at all. I liked both of those guys and Hyde in particular had excellent tape. I don't accept the "these signings are on a par with Hyde and Poyer." There is a germ of truth with it in respect of Poyer, in that he was not and never had been an established starter before he arrived in Buffalo - but even he got basically the same AAV - $3.5m on his deal in 2017 that Rapp got now after 7 years of salary inflation. Micah Hyde was an established NFL player with a ton of great tape who got over $6m AAV.
Funny, I loved Rapp out of college and thought he had excellent tape coming in last year, similar to your take on Hyde.

One Superbowl starting safety. Edwards did start the Superbowl last year, but wasn't good in it. He didn't start the Superbowl when he was with Tampa, thought he played in some dime packages. Rapp did not start the Superbowl for the Rams, he was coming back from a concussion and played less than half the defensive snaps.
My problem with them is they are both replacement level starters. I think Edwards is a bit better than Rapp but I wouldn't mind either so much if they were playing with a better player. But two players of that level together is a concern for me. It's like having Vlad Ducasse and Jordan Mills together on the right hand side of your offensive line.
Sounds like Poyer and Hyde doesnt it

Thank you for splitting hairs. I forgot about Rapp's concussion. As I've said elsewhere, Rapp did not have a good year last year but i fully expect him to pick up his game and breakout. He's only 26, has great instincts and superb tackling.

Why fans can't grasp he and Rapp are the Starters is beyond me. They didn't give Rapp a 3 year deal to have him be a back up. If so,then why not the Beane special a 1 year deal
Thank you. We have two starting superbowl safeties who have played very well in big games.

Guys I am not comfortable as starters:
Rapp or Edwards (at least 1 safety)
Epenesa (at least 1 DE
McGovern as Center (stay at LG)
Samuel is a #3/#4 (1 WR)
Backup Help
Competition for Bass
4th or 5th Round DT
Can't cut Martin, so get rid of Haack
Power back so Ty Johnson is #3 in rounds 4-6
Developmental Tackle/Guard
Depth everywhere
I wasnt happy watching Rapp last season but he played very well starting for the Rams and I fully expect him to pick up his game as a starter this season. Fully expect a safety or 2 to be drafted this year.

I’m honestly baffled that somebody has a negative take on Dalton Kincaid. This kid looks fantastic. I think he’s going to explode in year two.
I love Knox but he always appears slightly uncoordinated to me.
Didnt we draft him for his "athleticism"
