    What player can the Bills realistically get that will most directly lead to a SB THIS year?

    I think LG or CB2 are the weakest positions on the team. If Teven Jenkins is there I would run to the podium. Landon Dickerson if the injury isn’t a concern. 
     

    Edge would be nice but there aren’t any polished players and it’s already a crowded room this year. More of a future need unless we trade Addison post 6/1 to save 5mil.  I like Ossai in the 2nd, maybe have to trade up for him. He has played LB and edge in college and ran 4.4 40 at pro day. 
     

    For CB2 I’m ok waiting until the 2nd or even 3rd round for a guy with speed that can play man coverage at times to confuse opposing QBs. Take advantage of McDermotts specialty and get a guy with raw talent you can coach up. Ben St Juste or Ambry Thomas could be there in the 3rd


    you don’t think a G/T or G/C prospect could be an upgrade over Cody Ford?

    Not in a way that will cause a super bowl win, no. 

    Urban just can’t quit Tebow! (Update - Cut by Jags)

    I just get this feeling that Urban is gonna fail, I have no real reason to care one way or another, but the hype surrounding the hire, considering the organizations owners obvious failings are to me harbingers that failure is just around the corner. I’ve Been wrong before, but the whole organization has been on shaky ground for quite a while now, not seeing this hire or the #1 pick rescuing this dumpster fire...,

    Everyone loves the Bills because weve been terrible, not a threat to anyone, eventually the hate will make its way here.  My point is I cant stand this lady!  Its just these typical PR fluff pieces or her trying to turn the NFL into anything other than actual football 🤮.  I hate politics in football, but understand its a small part of it and is never going away.  Shes trying to turn it into 90% off field/10% football, and can kick rocks.  Leave our beloved sport alone and quit with the soap opera narratives 🤮🤮🤮

    Women are part of the football world now, that’s not gonna change any time soon, at least there are attractive talking heads now.., sounds like you’re in for a lot of years of suffering..,. 😂

    It's draft day morning, and I've never seen everyone have LESS of an idea of who or even what position the Bills will be drafting

    1. Seems like a good year to trade up. It's a shallow pool of players, and the guys you're getting in rounds 5-7 are reasonably likely not to make this roster. Might as well use some of that ammo to move up and get who you want.

    2. When it comes to football fandom, west coast is the best coast. Games at 10am and 1pm. Night games at 5:20pm. Draft at 5:00pm. It's especially great this year, because the Bills pick so late. No need to stay up until 11:30pm to see the Bills pick.

    This is also why 1:00 est games are the absolute best, 😁👍

    Diggs played with torn oblique in playoffs?

    The oblique was a known injury but not the extent. It was not reported what exactly was the issue with the oblique and downplayed by Diggs throughout the playoffs 

    I hear ya, Diggs is a hard guy, that likely hurt every time he cut, leaped, and reached for the ball. We have a strong receiver Corp to say the least, and if Hodgins rises we will be doing even better.
     

    As I think of it, it may be why Diggs did a lot of sliding to avoid direct hits, during the season, might have been going on longer than we knew...

    I thought this was a known injury that Diggs played with in the later part of the season, with him and the rest of our WRs all playing injured is why the short comings in our run game were so pronounced, and prompted Beans comments in the season ending PC, about the run game schemes/blocking etc, this is why I am confident that with our preferred O line guys all healthy at the same time finally, (which didn’t happen last season) and our RBs more keyed in on technique and execution our offense should be firing on all cylinders, especially with our wideouts being healed up as well, it’s going to be an excellent season. 

    Call your shot: Who will the Bills pick in the 1st round?

    I could be wrong. I also suspect that they weren't particularly thrilled with Star last season. But I'm guessing here. I just don't think they want guys who think there's a bigger world out there than football and the team culture that goes with it.

    That imo, would show a very dark side to SMs personality, and would in the short and long term tend to drive players away from wanting to hitch their wagons (families) to the Bills train,  it would appear to go against all the “we are a family and love one another” talk that SM so readily professes, jmo.

    At the end of the day, my sense is that McDermott wants no part of people who opted out. Maybe I'm reading too much into his "cultural mindset" (broadly conceived, if you know what I mean), but that's my sense. I could well be wrong. 

    I think you’re wrong, the family bond plays a big part in SMs life, and he has a strong conviction in supporting that bond, most guys opted out to protect that very thing, just like Star did.

    My point is that "average" NFL players dont stink......not everyone on your team can be an all pro.....some of them just "do their job and can be upgraded at any time"

     

    *****....there was a time on this board when people actually liked Mongo......sometime before his injury last year that he had to play with perhaps?

    Lots never noticed or have forgotten that our preferred O line starting five did not play together last season, but that would take paying attention and having a functioning memory... kinda hard for some to keep track of the tiny stuff like who’s injured or out on the O line..., shakes head, walks away...,

    I'll take that bet.

     

    Regardless of circumstances, Darnold was the worst QB in the NFL. I watched their games (and enjoyed it greatly) last season and when he had no pressure on him he seemed confused about who actually played for his team, took a long time to process the field, making sill mental errors like running out of bounds behind the line (multiple times) and was not in command of the offense at all. The *SAME* problems he had in college.

     

    I'm not sure why a guy who had problems in college, continued those problems in the pros is suddenly going to turn it around because he gets the 'good' coaching. On top of that, it's exceedingly rare that a clear top 10 bust (let's say 20th and below for 3 years running) leaves the team that drafted them and then goes on to success elsewhere. There's a reason for that.

     

    Most of his "he's gonna turn it around" hype seems to be from people who are carrying over that Darnold was a highly touted prospect in the draft and haven't watched him in the last two years.

     

    Gase is a control freak buffoon who only ever had success when he was getting Manning coffee, but Darnold was awful. Their offense performed better with the animated corpse of a disinterested Joe Flacco. Both gase and Darnold can be bad at the same time. 

    I never alluded to Darnold resurrecting his career, I did though point out part of why he did so poorly, ie: Adam Gase..., who is a nutter to put it kindly...

     

    Sam has this upcoming season to save his career, if he doesn’t show a very big step forward he’s pretty much done, he will become a BU QB or be out of the league, jmo.
