That’s a hell of an upgrade at slot WR.

Is he one of those guys that gets much better at the pro level or is he just a great athlete? I don’t know. It’s fairly uncommon for guys to come from small schools, not dominate the competition with elite physical traits and all of a sudden, “find it” in the NFL. It happens, but it’s not the norm. Usually a guy with THAT much size and speed stands out more. He’s a boom or bust type for sure, I’ll let the guys that get paid to project this stuff figure it out.
He looks more like a 2nd -4th round guy to me.

I think the back 7 of our D is going to have to come down in cost going forward. The DL has come down a bit, but with Milano being paid, you have to pay Edmunds or move on, you have to find a CB 2 and both safeties want money, it’s not going to be possible to get everyone. Personally, I’d keep Poyer and send Edmunds packing.

It's 2022 players aren't durable like they used to be. Players are stronger, faster, more violent then ever before. Rbs used to have 10 good years WITHOUT splitting carries.
Now backs who are splitting work loads are toast by 26 or 27. Just a sign that these guys bodies are pushed to the absolute max of human capabilities. The heavy single season usage is what kills guys.
Cmc. Gurley. Leveon. David Johnson. Arian Foster. Dalvin Cook and Zeke are coming up quick on being toast.
Dude runs like an absolute animal, and played 2 positions at the same time the last half year. They saw a ton of success running him from midpoint on. Why would they stop doing it?
Pay the man. If he hit open market he'd get 100+million contract... but he should carry an even heavier load next year for $4m??? Pay the man, they know what they're doing to him
Absolutely agree.

Sketchy at best they will let a first rounder go after that short of time. Flip a 5th and a conditional 4th next year, can go to a 3rd w 1000 all purpose yards, no pick traded if he’s not on the roster for 2023.

I say we trade #25, Edmunds and a 3rd to Houston at 13 and take Lloyd.. I can dream.

If his 15 touches(max) equates to a total of 90/100+yards rushing/receiving, why not?
Because that’s not going to happen, 6+ YPC is an unreal hope. Secondarily, the biggest value in a first round pick is the 5th year option which we would have to either forgo or make him a top 5 paid RB, which there is no justification for when you have one of the best passers in the league.

That’s really not a problem at all.
That’s the entire issue, Taylor is not going for 2000 yards with Allen throwing for 4500. You don’t draft a RB in the first round with intentions of them touching the ball 15 times a game maximum.

Here’s the problem….You’re operating under the assumption that Breece Hall is as good as JT. If an NFL FO thinks Hall is Taylor, they may take him rd 1. Beane included. If they don’t take him rd 1, they don’t feel the same as you. As of right now, NFL FO >> you. We’ll see how they feel in a week
Murray isn’t going anywhere. You think AZ will pick him with their first pick?
The real problem is assuming JT would be JT in an offense with JA.

Edwards-hillarie ran a 4.61, I’d be pissed if we took him in the first round, sure he’s decent, but if he ran a 4.38 I think our conversation about him would be different! I hope we take Hall and I hope I’m right about what he can do in our offense! You should be too! 😂
I think you are going to be awfully disappointed on draft night, you might get your wish in round 2 though.

So because the chiefs missed on a late 1st round RB, that means never take one? silly logic IMO. if he had panned out nobody would be saying that junk. it was a miss on a prospect, not a miss on philosophy.
I don’t think they missed, I think it shows there’s no point in drafting a RB high when the journeymen they have had there do the same work and the whole offense is still predicated on the QB. You have a team with one of the best in the game at QB, he’s always going to be the focus, when he’s not, Singletary was averaging 5ypc. What are you going to gain? A name and a contract you won’t want to renew in 4 years?

I totally agree. This seems to have been brewing since last year with all the rumors. A dynamic RB would put this offense over the top. Hall has it all…he’s fast, big, durable, and has good hands in the passing game.
Najee Harris was selected last year with the 24th pick. We are in a way better situation this year than the Steelers were last year. We have our long term qb and our oline is set this year. They had uncertainty at qb and with their oline and took Harris anyways. He worked out. No reason to think hall wouldn’t have a similar effect for this offense.
Harris was also a higher rated prospect in most peoples eyes. The Steelers also are a run heavy team. Everyone wants to be the Chiefs, learn from their Edwards-Hillarie mistake, RB isn’t valuable enough to draft high with JA as the QB. The best get 5.0 YPC, Mediocre get 4, the most they get the ball would be 20x a game. 20 yards a game is no reason for a first rd pick, might as well swing for a punter who should gain you 28 yards a game vs the bottom of the league.

The contract terms weren’t met, stepper ends up losing a lot of money on the deal, not sure how anybody sees this as his fault. Rock Hill pulled a bait and switch.

Sean McDermott asked if he could add any former Bill to current team said Thurman Thomas. Could be a "tell" that they are focused on landing an elite RB.
It makes sense. Really puts a lot of stress on defenses when your team has a strong counter punch to anything they do....
Personally I want 2 of the first 3 picks to be Offensive playmakers. Give Allen as much Ammo as possible.I mean, if the Legends, only Thurman is at a position where you don’t have a current star, so that’s the right answer.
-
The only way I see the Bills going w Hall is if all the CBs have been taken and all the 1st round WRs are gone and all the LBs are gone, which COULD happen because I don’t know if a single QB will go in the first this year.

1) CB
2) LB
3) WR
4) S
5) LB
6) P

The more I think about it, the more on board I am to either go up got Sauce or move up in the second for Edmunds replacement ( trading Edmunds in the process).

Simple math, just in income taxes ALONE, it’s worth it. You have 8 regular season games to collect taxes from all of the players at ~7%, but let’s just look at Josh Allen, one singular player, whom they’ve gotten to take over 8% of his income, let’s simplify, on average, his new deal is worth over 3M per year to NYS in taxes. Pegulas will profit about the same as JA, there’s another 3M+, then the rest of the team, you are looking at 12M+ and all of these numbers are conservative as hell, that’s an easy 18M a year, 30 year investment on increasing returns, but again, simple math, the investment is back to NYS and we haven’t talked about the actual rake they pull from the other teams or the extra cash infusion to the restaurant’s, Hotels, NyS Thruway, gas stations and all of the employees for the team, game day staff etc. It makes sense JUST in football, forget anything else that happens at the stadium as a bonus. The author can’t see past their own nose.

B.c one old CB didn't come to Buffalo? Yet an old DE came... your theory just got blown up.
Yeah and how many others just this year haven’t come, now look back at the history of FA signings we have missed out on or had to DRAMATICALLY overpay, so your one example gets blown up.
28 minutes ago, ctk232 said:Among several other reasons like attitude and cost, his biggest obstacle here was that he was a man coverage corner with next to no zone experience or skill. McD’s entire defensive scheme is based on a fluid zone/match concept with very little man coverage. Tre being the exception when facing a WR1 like Hopkins, et al. and when matchups dictate, but Gilmore was never going to be the corner he was looking for and for what he’d cost.
Why we dodged a bullet here now is along these same lines, but also that he’s now older and can’t cover the fastest WRs in the game. He had issues with this even while in NE. Whether he’d be an upgrade over our DB2 situation depends on the draft, but I’d much rather have a round 1/2 DB on a rookie deal than Gilmore at a vet min much less what he wanted.
So you’d rather pay an unproven rookie 4x vet min, vs a top 10 corner at Vet Min, because you think an All-Pro couldn’t go to an easier system, but a rookie would have no problem. That’s what one would call, insane.

Yeah but unless you’re moving him before this season, it makes no sense to use a first round pick on a guy who would not likely see the field much. Gotta use that pick on someone who will make a difference this season.If they draft his replacement, he’s traded for anything they can get to salary dump.
-
Honestly, would have liked to had him.
I know I’m going to be flamed first it, but I do think the outdoor stadium in Buffalo plays a role in older players choosing to go elsewhere. They will have to play/lose a game in Buffalo in Dec/Jan anyway if they want to go to the SB, so they might as well suck it up, but I get wanting to avoid it.

I was hoping he would come to Buffalo late in the year, bubble wrap him until the playoffs. He’s a top 10 talent, when he plays and actually tries. Too bad we’ve only seen that about 4 games in his career.

Gotta save some space for in year signings. Draft picks will consume some of it, at least until cut downs.

Darren Waller available?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Put him at Slot, who’s taking him? Just to mess with the D, rotate him and Knox as receiver and TE rolls.. it would be a lot of fun.
