2023 offense has potential to be best in Bills history
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
Davis is a legit WR#2. Can he play better? Yes. Would Hopkins be an upgrade? Yes. Should Bills still add another WR to push him and/or plan for 2024? Perhaps. Is Davis good enough for 2023? I think so. I would be fine drafting a WR but I see competition at RT and long term planning for C and LT as a bigger need in the next two rounds. And that doesn't even address MLB, DT, and edge. -
I hear a lot about drafting BPA. We debate endlessly on this board about BPA, BPA at a position of need, straight need, and so forth. Some have said Beane took the BPA in Kincaid. In my mind, taking BPA means you sit and wait for your turn in the draft and take your highest rated player. I really don't think you can call a pick that you trade up for a BPA pick. I'm curious what others think. Partially because I'm a bit of a narcissist and want to keep proving my point that Beane almost always drafts for need. And moving up in the draft to select a pass catcher again is a need pick and not a BPA pick.

There were guys open underneath all year and Josh refused to throw it to them. He has to get better at taking the short stuff. Hopefully having another big target underneath will help Josh.

Will DeAndre Hopkins be available this offseason?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to NeverOutNick's topic in The Stadium Wall
And why would you believe him? What are u talking about? Beane lies all the time. Says they won't be a player in free agency and then signs Miller. Same thing with Milano and Williams in the past. He just said in his PC he wasn't going to look to extend and guys until training camp and the next day he signed Bass to an extension. He lies all the time and you guys hang on his every word. -
After the run on WR's I would have stayed put. Smith or one of the top two TEs would have been there are 27. Even Harrison would have been ok at 27. I don't hate the pick as some do. I like the two TE set. I think it can be devastating and give Josh some easy completions if he is willing to take them. Don't love giving up a 4th. Smith would have filled an immediate need at edge, but in the end getting more options for the offense is paramount. Hopefully OT in round 2.

RD 1, Pick 25: TE Dalton Kincaid, Utah
Ethan in Cleveland replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills have drafted four TE's in the last 15 years. Knox was the highest in the third round. Hardly an over investment in TEs. Now RB's you get no argument from me there. -
Nolan Smith going 31st. The ESPN guys were thinking he could go to the Jets at 15. Eagles front 7 will be dangerous.
-
And yes all 24 guys taken earlier will all work out. Its a crap shoot and Kincaid is just as likely as anyone to be a star
-
Someone send Dorsey some game film on the great TEs of the last decade.

Trade back please

Lamar and the Ravens reach a deal
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Everyone criticizing Lamar for not having an agent and he basically got the same deal as Hurts without giving up 3% to an agent. -
Yes I think so. I dont think they can do something like whichever pick is higher or lower. Thats common in NBA and NHL I think but not NFL.
-
Should have just taken Anderson at 2 and Richardson at 12. Will be interesting how much they gave up to move up 9 spots
-
Whoever gets Anthony Richardson will get the best QB in this draft.
-
Wilson is listed at 5'11" and 215 lbs
-
So sad. Mortensen looks terrible and his voice is so weak.
-
Sorry Suzy Kolber annoys me.
-
Dude is smaller than Goodell. He will be broken early and often.
-
No way am I drafting a QB this small.
-
Your one, and only one, draft hot take?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Sammy Watkins' Rib's topic in The Stadium Wall
The more I look at these QBs, I think Richardson will be the best of the whole group. Not sure Stroud can read a defense. Ohio state offense is dumbed down for the QB. That is why do many OSU QBs struggle. Young is just too small. He will get broken just like Tua and Murray. -
Your Final Bills Mock Draft
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
Beane lies about everything And he had better get two year one season opener starters out of this draft. They have massive hole at MLB, Edge until Miller comes back, and WR. Plus open competition for RT. -
Hmm, I guess I wouldn't call winning 66% of the division games a near sweep but OK. I get your premise though. 3-3 in the division makes it tough but remember all these improved teams play each other as well. It's likely no AFC East teams does better than 4-2. In which case the division may be up for grabs until the last week, with tie breakers in play. My guess is if the BIlls go 4-2 as they did last season with a split against the Jets and Miami they will be fine. If they go 4-2 but lose two games to the Jets that may be enough to knock them out of the division title.

He wasn't solid as a rookie. He was terribly inconsistent just as he was in 2022. The issue/excuse people cite is his back surgery and little off-season to train while recovering. At best Brown is a massive question mark for 2023. If he can play better he is a cheap starter, that seems capable in the run game and a liability in pass protection that Allen can at least see coming. I truly hope OT is taken in the first three rounds. That all said, I'm equally worried about Dawkins. He regressed terribly last year. If they take a capable LT in the first round I would not be shocked to see Dawkins gone in 2024. Or moved to LG in 2024 with the McGovern guy or Bates maybe moving to Center if Morse retires.
