  1. I think Beane will get a WR and DE in first two rounds. The order will depend on who is available. Day three will probably be safety, d-tackle, and interior o-line. I think that many of us have a much higher opinion on most of the WR's in the draft than the Bills do. It might be a case of the top three being really good and a large number of the rest being significantly less talented. The bust rate on highly drafted WR's seems high to me.
  2. There's a good article on clutchpoints.com that provides a pretty good history on Samuel. The article can also be accessed through the Yahoo sports app.
  3. This is a play to get ahead of the Giants at 6 to draft McCarthy. It's a pretty serious commitment of resources for a guy with mixed opinions from scouts. When your team is up the creek at QB, I guess you roll the dice and take the best shot available. We should all be glad that the Bills aren't in this situation. I hope 6 QB's go ahead of the Bills at 28 and good talent drops to them.
  4. I guess you'll just have to watch him play because it is pretty clear that you have an opinion.
  5. Put down the bong and step away from the computer...... Hollins was signed for special teams and nothing more. We really know very little about Shorter or Hamler at this point. There are at least a dozen guys in this draft that have the potential to become a dominant downfield threat that the Bills don't currently have under contract. They need to get one of those young guys on the roster. Beane has done a good job of improving the WR talent pool to set up competition during the preseason. He should not be done yet. However it sorts out, the WR group will be better than last season.
  6. Yes and have you ever watched him play. He played a role in Washington that did not take full advantage of his skill set. His speed and quickness are clearly evident. If you really doubt his big play ability, look back at his Ohio State video. He didn't get picked 40th overall for doing nothing. Allen will be the first good passer that he has played with in the NFL. He didn't have great air yard stats because of QB play, not because he can't get open down field.
  7. There is absolutely no comparison between Samuel and Crowder. Samuel is a faster, bigger, stronger player. He is a big play threat because of his ability to run after the catch. Crowder was never a big play threat. Samuel played a lot in the slot in Washington because Dotson and McLaurin don't. He also played with very bad QB's.
  8. Samuel's ability to beat man coverage is one of the main things he brings to the Bills. With the exception of Diggs, the WR room did not have this ability. Samuel will be the guy that will deter defenses from blitzing with straight man to man behind it. KC did that to the Bills in the playoffs and nobody could make them pay. With 4.31 speed, two steps will mean some big plays.
  9. I'm not as sure about the defense going downhill as many are. Poyer and Hyde were not great all season. Floyd is really the only significant contributor that is gone and even he faded down the stretch. A starting safety and one more pass rusher will be critical. Adding a couple of rotational d-tackles will be necessary but are available in free agency or the draft. Trading down will definitely be an option but it may happen in the second round. I also expect Beane to use the extra day three picks to move. I don't picture Beane actually drafting 11 players. I really hope that there is a run on first round QB's, maybe 5 or 6. This will drive talent further down the boards and give Beane great options (including trading down).
  10. Hamler was excellent in college (second round draft pick) and had some good games in Denver with bad QB play. Injuries in back to back years ended his time with the Broncos. He brings a speed element and deep ball skills that the Bills don't currently have. He may not win a roster spot which would mean that the Bills landed someone who is really good. If Beane doesn't go after another decent WR free agent, it should tell us what he thinks about Hamler and Shorter. We'll know for sure after a couple of preseason games.
  11. You're right on point with your assessment of this guy. I do have to admit that he spent most of his career with a poor o-line. He is also a better receiver than he gets credit for. Volume clearly hides most of his deficiencies. I hope the Bills stay away from him in free agency.
  12. As more of the free agent activity plays out this year, it seems like there are more accomplished players available that believe they will land some big money deals. I'm hoping that some miss out on the limited available big money contracts and are forced to settle for one year deals with a good team. I suspect Beane will have some viable, cheap targets.
  13. You are probably correct. It is only a question of how much of the money he actually moves.
