Here what you don’t understand…I’m sure the bills didn’t think Jax would be into ettienne last year. They also couldn’t have predicted McKissic would back out of his deal either. If the Bills want Hall, they will prob just take him at 25 whether you or anyone else agrees or not.

Probably not…he’s so good that other fan bases hate him out of pure jealousy he isn’t their guy. Although…he is a totally likable and relatable dude.

I grew up a huge Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas fans. Those guys were such a part of my childhood and the reasons I became a Bills fan. I never thought anyone would challenge them for my all-time favorite Bill…until this guy. He’s quickly becoming my favorite player. Just love the way he’s embraced the city and leads. Let’s be honest…when Jimbo was here he wasn’t exactly the lead by example type. Not until he was done playing. Allen is built differently and I’m so glad he’s our QB.

“No” running back is worth a first round? Thanks for you OPINION. Breece Hall has home run ability. We don’t have a back right now with that capability. One 60 yard run really ups his yards per carry.

I get the feeling that the bills will try to talk themselves into hall. I think they have been trying for a while now to get a more dynamic RB and I don’t think that will change until they get one.

Awesome job here. The cornerback fanboys don’t want to admit that it’s not the slam dunk they make it out to be. This team is another piece or two from making this offense nearly unstoppable. Why the he k wouldn’t they consider that? It’s like most fans are completely ignorant to the fact that we don’t have take defense first every year.

I think the o-line is set for this year. They might take a guy they can groom this year, but maybe in 2 or 3. I think if they can trade down and get a guy like Hall, this offense would go to a whole new level. I know a lot of you want to believe that this offense is set, but there are ways we can make it better. To me, it starts at running back.

I’m gonna say no…I still think Jahan Dotson has an outside chance and I am buying into the running back idea. Too much smoke to ignore it. They have been tied to ettienne, they tried signing McKissic, and Beane has said many times it’s about protecting Allen. What better way to protect our best player than getting him a reliable guy to take carries off of him? I think they will find a way to make breece hall or walker a bill and I think it will be a trade down.

I guess you missed Joe Bs article yesterday how McD doesn’t force rookies into starting right away. Here is what he said: “It’s rare for McDermott to put his faith in a rookie during a 17-game season. He firmly believes that the rookie wall is real and actively manages time off the field throughout the season to help prevent a steep drop-off. The idea that a cornerback selected at No. 25, or any position for that matter, is going to walk in and be the coast-to-coast starter in 2022 lacks the supporting evidence of McDermott’s history with first-year players. The Bills have shown an excellent ability to develop their players, and deviating from that philosophy does not seem likely.”

you don’t believe him, or you don’t want to believe him? Fine…corner in round 3…happy?

Maybe you should tell Brandon Beane that. He seems to really like Dane Jackson.

I completely disagree with your assessment of this year’s d. We were the number one ranked d last year that added Von miller and some run stuffing defensive linemen. I think it’s completely irresponsible to think we are gonna take a dip to below average based on a cornerback.

I really like guys like martin Emerson, cam Taylor-Britt, and the McCollum kid from Sam Houston state. Those are the types of guys that can be had in the third and can be developed into studs with the elite traits that they possess

You are wrong and he is right is an opinion…unless you have a history book from the future that you would like to share with the rest of us…

First round should always be BPA. Drafting for a need is how teams miss out on elite prospects. Especially at the end of the first. This. I mean there is no reason to smokescreen this. They have a history of doing it this way at corner. They feel confident in Tre’s recovery and progress. They also said that today.

There are rounds besides the first. That’s pretty much the gist. Don’t force a pick for need. Also…if you even bother reading the article, it says that McD rarely forces rookies into starting. If that’s true, then the rookie corner will likely not start for at least a couple weeks anyways. The Tre argument is kinda shot to heck by that. So basically, it’ll be a vet and Dane to start the season no matter what.

Typical Bills fan fashion…can’t even comprehend the possibility of this team taking an offensive player in the first round. McD has always had one elite cover guy and then a JAG on the other side. Tre filled the elite role.

Lots of opinions in this post…

You think the chiefs care about defense? Haha. They just keep loading up on offensive weapons and overwhelm opposing defenses. I’m more convinced that I’m today’s nfl, that is the way to go.

And they are trying to do the same with Dane Jackson.

That’s my point though…get weapons that help Allen instead of putting it all on him. Make his life as easy as possible. Keep stacking long term weapons on offense. We saw too many times last year that he literally won the game on his own. He was the leading rusher way too often. That isn’t sustainable. Totally agree. The defense is good enough. We can get by with a Jag at CB2…which is exactly what every McD led defense has done back to his days in Carolina. And he is the best in the league at getting the most out of DBs.

For those that have The Athletic, go read Joe B’s most recent article. He argues why corner at 25 isnt the slam dunk many are making it out to be. It’s a good read.

Huh? They literally just had a deal with McKissic that fell through cause Washington pulled a slick one on us.

You have no idea of knowing this. Guys like Taylor-Britt and McCollum could end up better than your “elite talent”.

But you said it’s deep in high end corner talent….you literally said that. This is pointless…I’m not arguing with someone that doesn’t even know what they said. Have fun… But…they can get ANY RB in ANY round and it won’t make a difference. Haha…good grief…
