With the 11th pick in TSW, the Commanders select Devin Lloyd, linebacker, Utah.
A few different positions were in play with this pick, ideally we'd like to trade down and recoup some picks. That's not possible here, so we picked the centerpiece of our defense.
With the Dline set, Lloyd will have free reign to wreak havoc on opposing offenses. He's a do-it-all LB and will elevate our defense the way Keuchly did in Carolina. With a solid defense we're hoping that the offense can take a step with Wentz and get us into the playoffs
The Vikings, @Doc Brown are on the clock

I wonder if Schoen, Daboll, and their cronies paid attention to the Bills training and treatment facilities. It would help

The Atlanta Falcons and @Alphadawg7are now on the clock.
After fortifying our offensive line, it is time to get after the quarterback. Their were a few defensive ends we considered but Wink Martindale loves putting his CBs on an island to get after the quarterback.
We are concerned about Stingleys durability, but feel that with the right training staff we can bring out the best in him. A bit boom or bust but feel good about our odds.

If he was there for the Commanders I would've considered him. I think Wentz would be a good fill in for a year, then groom him to be the man next year.
* I like the idea of pairing his athleticism with McCaffrey's. They make an interesting combo for a creative OC

The Panthers came out on the short end this off season in acquiring a starting Qb. We are gonna go for the guy with the highest ceiling. Kid has the arm talent and mobility, and we are gonna let him come in and take the job if he is ready. Trying to shoot for the stars as the Bills did with Allen.
The Giants and LEBills are now on the clock

I've watched a few of these here before and they always seemed like fun.
My brother in law is a fan of the Commanders so I'll try and do right by him

Let's clarify who you are talking about.
That's the one. By all accounts he's had standout performances the last two training camps although not enough to breakout on the gameday roster due to injuries and other reasons

I was thinking some of the same. But Hodge is my wild card. The thing I remember after the draft was McD stressing that the WR's need to catch the ball. Hodge had the hands, length and strength, but his route running and timing needed work and he's not a burner. He was Gabe lite.
Even that first trading camp, they seemed like the same guy until Hodge got hurt and fell behind. I was looking for a jump last year, but the room was loaded with vets and Gabe was light years ahead at this point. Gabe didn't even get his shot until Sanders got hurt. I'm very interested to see how refined Hodge is this year after learning from Sanders and Beas. He has a skill set, can he put it all together and be a viable weapon.
I forgot all about him honestly. It's going to be interesting to see if the coaches feel the same way. He's a later round pick, same with Stevenson, so I can't imagine they're going to bank too much on them taking big steps but you never know.

I said 3 new receivers. Jameson Williams, plus an undrafted FA and a veteran.
If they draft Jameson, I don't care how the rest of it plays out. That's a successful draft in my mind. One of the most explosive players coming out would be dangerous to add to the offense. It would just help free everyone else up to make plays

Why do you assume McKenzie is leaving? I hope he steps into The slot when Beasley gets traded
I suppose I'm just preparing myself for a bit of a let down. He's shown that he can add a lot to the offense and is a solid, yet underutilized talent. I have no idea how the coaching staff and Beane view him and I don't want to get my hopes up that they bring him back.
Even if they do I could see them adding another 2 WR in the draft/FA. Adding speed to the offense is, in my opinion, a no brainer. Particularly in a record setting year for draftees.

you can line up a RB as a receiver or use Knox in a slot and use an e tra tackle.
There was actually a thread about Ken Dorsey and his offensive philosophy, which essentially said his background is in running 2 TE sets. So the Bills could go TE too (Gronk or otherwise)
-
All I'm hoping for is at least one new starter on the IOL, maybe two if the Bills are serious about protecting Josh. I don't see them replacing Dawkins or Brown so that leave 3 positions up for grabs. Maybe they bump Dion to LG but either way 2/5 spots are locked up

While the disappointment from the season finale against the Chiefs looms large over Bills Mafia, coaches, GM, and the players alike, we turn now turn to free agency and the draft to move forward in the pursuit of the ultimate goal. The Lombardi Trophy. As such the biggest question to answer is how to improve the roster from this point forward.
With the pending departures of Isaiah McKenzie and Cole Beasley, the Bills are poised to address the WR position in either FA, or the draft. So the question is now, how will they fill the void? And with how many players? Will Bills Brass double dip at WR, like they did last year at DE? Will a marquee player again end up in Buffalo?

I know they don't actually take the field but is anyone gonna bring up who has the better coaches?
I know who I'd pick.
Reid, Bienemiey and Spags
Or
McD, Daboll and Frazier
It really showed Sunday.
We'll see soon how things shape up, but I for one wouldn't mind seeing both Frazier and Daboll getting hired elsewhere. McDermott needs to diversify his defense and if Frazier leaves hopefully he finds a more aggressive DC than Frazier (Sean Payton!?) Offensively the bills would be fine promoting Dorsey at this point since Allen can effectively run the offense himself. He's going to have a lot of input moving forward in terms of play calling and game planning.

People are saying Mahomes is better because he has an MVP, a SB Championship, a SB MVP 4 straight AFCG, 2 SB appearances and because he never failed to make the play he needed to make. Just because he needed to make less of them than Allen, doesn't make him a lesser talent.
A great pool player at a bar will dazzle you with the incredible shots they can make. A world champion will put you to sleep as they shoot balls straight in the pocket every shot, because everything is where it needs to be all the time.
This is not to the detriment of Allen - he did absolutely nothing wrong. He was perfect. So was Mahomes, and he's been perfect since he came into the league whenever he's needed to be.Great analogy! I never looked at it that way.
2 hours ago, Success said:THIS is the biggest issue the Bills have to fix. I think we all glossed over it w/ the "#1 defense" ranking, which we all know wasn't really accurate.
I think Oliver took a huge step this year, and can be a disruptive if the overall quality of the line improves. Groot made some big plays this year, but had games where he didn't do as much, as you might expect from a rookie. You can build around those 2. But they need a true disruptor to elevate the whole line's play.
Oliver really came on strong at the end of the year and fingers crossed he keeps it up next year. Groot was honestly pretty disappointing, especially later in the year when I would've expected him to turn it up and make more of an impact. Boogie seemed to do more with less time than Rousseau towards the backend of the season

A guy like Jameson Williams, who could drop to us with the ACL, would put us on par with KC.
Diggs and Davis on the outside with Knox at TE and Williams in the Slot would be filthy.
I just looked at some draft profiles and he seems like the perfect fit for the offense! Forget Beasley and McKenzie. He has size and speed to spare from the sounds of it and would add a new dynamic to the offense. Maybe Stevenson shows something and they can add two speed elements to the O next year

He’s not. He’s basically Singletary drafted two rounds earlier. McKinnon is their best back who, as usual, they somehow get for nothing. Which is why you don’t draft RB’s high in the modern NFL.
Two best offenses in league trotting out Singletary vs McKinnon.
It's so crazy that KC and the Pats, in their prime, always manage to find players like that. Did Pittsburgh really need to get rid of Ingram that bad!? I'm sure another team would've thrown in a bag of balls or something, if I was Beane I'd have given them an extra pick not to trade him to the Chiefs

Most people who picked the Bills did it because of Josh. They thought he could make up the difference in talent, because he was so special. And he ALMOST did. No question who has better weapons (NOT us), and our OL struggled most of the year.
The Bills OL really came on strong the last few weeks of the regular season, which to me puts less emphasis on 'fixing' it when it comes to team building. Do you think the Bills should put more focus on stopping the KC playmakers or adding weapons of their own?

I'd put it like this:
QB- KC (but very close)
RB- Push
WR- Push (but Bills have more depth)
TE- KC
OL- KC
DL- KC
LB- KC
CB- Bills
S- Bills
And of course Coaching, which KC has the advantage on.
If anyone thought the Bills were decidedly better than KC, they were just overconfident and maybe ignorant about Kansas City. They are legit one of the top 2 teams in the league, maybe the top team. They definately have the top offense by far.
I felt 50/50 about this game, at best. I knew in order to beat them we would have to have an insane game either on offense or on defense. We didn't quite get there, but it was so close. Josh willed his team forward and was clutch down the stretch, but it wasn't enough because the defense could not come through when we needed them to.
The Bills D actually matches up pretty well with the Chiefs but the DL just couldn't get home. They had a good pressure on Mahomes the whole game but he slipped out and made them pay consistently. The number of times I thought they were gonna bring him down only to see him run for chunk yards or hit someone down field is what got me the most fired up watching the game

Some fans here overestimate our high end talent.
What we had this year was an incredibly strong 1-53. Depth and rotational talent was all top notch.
What we don’t have is high end talent. That needs to change.
Allen is the ultimate high end talent. After Allen, the only game wreckers we have are Diggs and White. White down for the year so we went into KC with just Allen and Diggs with that label.
KC had Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, Jones and made the move mid-season for Ingram.
Both teams had good OL’s.
KC has more holes, ie Sorenson playing meaningful snaps even with Mathieu , Deandre Baker as first DB off the bench… but high end talent wins.
And Josh Allen, even facing all that, won the game. ….until our coaches gave it away.
Get this dude another game breaker on Offense.
I couldn't agree more on both accounts. I'm excited to see what this offseason will bring even though we'll likely lose a few players to FA and cap constraints. I'm not sure where the strengths of this draft class are but the Bills could go WR/CB in the first and second and I'd be happy. Add an IOL in the third and the fastest offensive player in the fourth then just draft high RAS guys on D the rest of the way

Who the hell thinks that?
Mahomes has two of the fastest WRs in the league, a top 3 TE of all time, and arguably the best offensive coach in football.
The Bills group of skill position players are average at best.
Must be nice to have multiple guys on offense that can take it to the house from anywhere on the field.
Allen does more with a lot less. There is zero doubt that he is the best player in the league imo.
Surprisingly a lot of people. Leading up to the game I heard multiple commentators say this, when they picked the Bills to win, as well as reading it on the board a number of times. 🤷🏻♂️

All week I've heard from countless posters here and national pundits saying that the Bills have the better roster top down. Watching the game Sunday got me thinking. Where exactly are the Bills better than the Chiefs.
RB- KC
WR- push
TE- KC
OL- push (leaning KC)
DL- push (leaning KC)
LB- KC (unless you're an Edmunds truther)
CB- push (without Tre)
S- Bills
So what else does that leave? Oh yeah..
QB- Bills (by a billion)
People subconsciously have put Mahomes leagues ahead of Allen and therefore put the rest of KC down in terms of talent. When realistically the opposite is true. Not to say that he, Mahomes, isn't a great QB(from a talent perspective), he clearly is (not even mentioning the accolades he's accumulated). But It's just so obvious how much more Allen does for the Bills than Mahomes does for the Chiefs. If you swap teams I can almost guarantee that Allen has more success than Mahomes. (Although without the adversity he's faced would Allen be the QB he is today?)
Look at team defense for example, the Chiefs have had a better defense than the Bills, or any team for that matter, since week 5(?), is what they've been saying anyway, and Allen shredded them. Just like Mahomes shredded the Bills(without Tre). On top of the fact that the Chiefs before Mahomes had already been established as a contender in the league with Alex Smith at QB. The team around him has always been loaded and people seem to disregard that that since he's the league darling, an über-talented wunderkind.
Just a little perspective, unless you don't like objectivity. If you disagree I'd love for you to break down the rosters for me player by player or group by group, prove me wrong.
Allen elevates the Bills more than Mahomes does the Chiefs and it isn't particularly close.

For sure. The loss sucks but everyone complaining about it has to realize that Mahomes and the Chiefs literally had to play a perfect game to beat the Bills. This was a battle of two behemoths and the home team won. Simple as that.

He probably didn’t lead in snaps because he’s the best of the best, and they want to be sure he’s available for the Chiefs game. We had a big enough lead he could spend more time on the sideline waiting for the bigger challenge next weekend. I will have nothing but respect for the Chief’s and what they have accomplished. I’ll take NOTHING for granted, and having Diggs available could be a key factor.
Letting him get some rest against the Pats was definitely the way to go and I'm excited to see what he can do this weekend. It might be one of those games where he's simply uncoverable, unlike last year against the Chiefs he's fully healthy and ready to go. I'd imagine he's going to be a major part of the game plan moving forward. Even though the Bills don't necessarily need him to win, having him out there certainly increases the chances of getting the W.
