I think Groot will start left end and Von and AJE will end us time sharing RE.
That is less than ideal. I agree. But there is no obvious route to improve unless they strike lucky on a dust settles guy in June or July willing to take a 1 year prove it deal.
Less than ideal is an understatement …Beane is not going to “hope for best “ … he just doesn’t do that

Well that is what they are doing. They can't be basing it off anything else other than educated guesses by the medics. At most they have seen 1 week of stretching where no football moves are allowed. They can't be basing decisions on that.
We’ll see then won’t we ?Because if he is the same player he was last year … and they do nothing else about it other than Toohill and another scrub in FA .. they are rooted

AJE will out sack Von this year. I am absolutely certain of that.
What have they seen of Von yet? Basically nothing. A few days of stretching. They are gambling on Von being back. I understand why. They don't have free agency dollars and beyond the top 3 (or 4 depending how you feel about Chop) it’s a weak draft at that spot. Von rebounding is their best hope. But it’s a wing and a prayer IMO.
He was stiff as a board last year and moved like a statue…You can’t “gamble” of more of the same of that… not when Floyd has gone as well…

I don't think they have a shot to get a starting edge this year in the draft unless one of the top 3 and maybe Chop falls in round 1. My three round 2 grades are all 3-4 OLBs.
I wouldn't force it. If I have to live with a timeshare of a washed Von and AJE for a year then so be it. You can't make someone the answer just by overdrafting them.
Im actually not that keen on Chop at 28 to be honest …If Von is really washed as you say .. then Edge is by far the biggest need on the team, way bigger than WR … .. to say they are even threadbare would be an overstatement… they haven’t replaced Floyd yet
That they have done nothing aside from paying Toohill the vet minimum makes me think they have been eyeballing Miller over the offseason and are ok with him… on the other hand … if they take Kneeland at 28…then that’s out the window

Is this good news?

This is the worst Bills mock I have seen. Absolutely horrendous on all levels.
Mustapha at 144 and Van Pran at 163 would be nice picks …I can see the Bills picking Ulofoshio in the 6th … not the fourth … maybe swap him for Van Pran

I posted the other notable mocks in the last thread. They're growing considerably the last few weeks. I don't think I'm overthinking both AJE and Groot. They were both top 3 in arm length and wing span for the draft classes they belong to. Unless you think those weren't qualities we pursue and that was just random?
AJE didn’t go in the first though… he went at the end of the second …Groot had better production against better opposition…
AJE was actually a first round guy that fell so the opposite as to what we are seeing with Kneeland …

Yea I think Von is done.
So what’s the plan then to replace him ?
Find a scrub that’s left in FA ? Or just hope he comes good?
The Bills had Kneeland in for a visit … and I don’t think he was there to provide some intel on the other Western Michigan prospects … he has got to be in play with their second …..looks like he is not going to last that long … but they are still going to have a hole to fill if you are right ..
In Beane takes him at 28..he has officially jumped the shark

I thought the Bills would consider him which started a string of hate which picked up well in this thread. It's not uncommon for him to be mocked in the late first at this point. As I said in my other post he has physical traits in his arm length and wingspan that we clearly covet given our selection of AJ and Groot. It just wouldn't shock me if they feel he has a first round grade. Hoping we don't see this as well and I'm a WMU grad.
I was dismissive of your opinion .. but he is certainly a late riser…
I still haven’t convinced myself he will be a first round pick yet …. but i could see him now going early 2nd….

If the Bills take him it would tell people all you need to know about Miller … You wrote him off before the end of the last season right …? -
I like the Chiefs trading to 19 to take Worthy …

No one hit PB last night so it's up to $115M next drawing.

Any chance Shakir can become the 1/x receiver? Is he that far of Diggs's traits and ability?
Shakir is probably better than a lot of people thought he was going to be … but Diggs at his best was a Top 5 WR … pretty sure Shakir is not going to be close to those levels …

Few things need to happen. Get a number 1 wr in the draft, sign a vet like DJ Chark as the number 2(the real number 2 is samuel in the slot), get a safety and von back to form. I actually don't think this too much of an ask.
I agree that what you have listed is what is required … I wouldn’t say it’s an easy road ahead … but it’s also not impossible to achieve either ,,,Draft 2 WR’s early or 1 + trade for one …. I think the Safety options Round 4 should be ok to patch something together this season…
DE is a concern … but they have just spent a few days eyeballing Miller so they should have a better idea than us how he is tracking … Still wouldn’t mind a guy in the draft …and the options aren’t great …

This is why they don’t acknowledge that they are rebuilding
They won’t have to “acknowledge “ anything … the standings will tell the story-

You forgot about the part where he gives up a fourth rounder to move up to take that DB.
Gotta get his guy so he can get to sleep on Thursday night -

Again, I'm realistic. They are going into the draft with 5 massive holes, and I don't see a realistic scenario where they get more than 3 starting caliber players. There's no chance that they aren't starting someone who doesn't belong as a starter on even a terrible team, let alone one that says they hope to win. They'll never admit to it being a rebuild year, but it absolutely is.
Holes ..like replacing the corpses of Hyde and Poyer last year …? Safety is the least of my worries …But look… if they aren’t walking away with 2 good WR prospects this time next week ,,,I’ll be the first to agree with you …
But I just can’t see that they have walked away from Diggs with no plan to replace him and Davis immediately…. Pegula wouldn’t have agreed to it otherwise ..he has got PSLs to sell, and a crap team wont help that ..

No, I don’t feel we will be as good this year as in previous years…
But I don’t necessarily don’t think that’s a bad thing…We are in a mini rebuild, despite what the organization might say…And I feel this is a 2 year rebuild …👍
Bad time to be rebuilding when Pegs has got a lot of PSLs to sell -

I'm not pessimistic - I'm realistic. If we had Roquan Smith, TJ Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and AJ Brown, I'd have us penciled in as favorites. Unfortunately we don't have a receiver that's ever hit 1k yards, don't have a pass rushers that's ever hit double digit sacks (besides the empty husk of Von miller), and we easily have the worst safety duo in the league right now.
History has been on my side every year for 3 straight. Let's re-check the tally at the end of this season and see how far blind optimism gets you.
You are pessimistic… they haven’t even been through the draft yet …Also … what do you mean “the last three years ? You trying to say they weren’t a SB contender over that period ?

I'm more comfortable with the offense because we have Josh Allen and a cadre of very good skill players. We did fine the last half of the year with Diggs and Davis providing less than they had in any of their previous years. We've already proven we can win without Diggs, and without much contribution from Davis. I think Brady will find ways of making this offense more effective. I do think there will be some growing pains, but in the end: Josh.
Davis and particularly Diggs mightn’t have had the production over the back half of test season … but I’m sure they were still the focus of the opposing defence … Currently that focus wil bee moving to Shakir and Samuel -

We'll be fortunate to be in playoff contention as the roster currently stands, imo. We would need a series of miracles to get into the super bowl conversation that involves season ending injuries to Mahomes and Burrow, drafting OROY and DROYs like Houston did, staying healthy and having all of our top players play great, and then having probably 2 current players on the roster take monumental leaps up to all-pro status (Kincaid, Epenesa?)
At the end of all that, would it be enough to top the best of the NFC?Doubt it.
It’s unlike you to have a pessimistic outlook …I don’t think it requires a “ series of miracles “… find 2 receivers ..and an edge … before Week 1…

Chad Reuter 7 round mock
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Not last week .: They would have needed to make the decision 6 weeks ago when they could have done something in FA about it … Im assuming that they are ok with him…and must think he is a better player than what he showed last year..
What’s your theory … ? that he is “ Washed” but they are still going to persevere with him ?
Washed to me means that the guy is finished and not at an NFL level anymore … kind of like what he showed last year … Why would they continue to persevere with him if that’s the case ?
