    Bills 2022 Draft picks are set. 👀

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Bundling picks, trading up, and assuming all of your reduced number of picks will make the team seems as much hubris as logical.  Other than maneuvering for a QB, I like using all the picks and getting those players into the Bills camp and culling them after you've worked with them through camp.  Wouldn't you want to look at players extensively in your own system before eliminating them from consideration?

    I think this tells a really interesting story.

    Von Miller's contract is effectively a 3-year $17.5M/yr deal.

    Past 3 years of Bills Defensive Ends and what they were paid:

     

    2021:

    Jerry Hughes: $9.45M

    Mario Addison: $8.1M

    Rousseau ~$2M

    Basham ~$1M

    Epenesa ~$1M

     

    2020:

    Mario Addison: $9.97M

    Trent Murphy: $9.78M

    Jerry Hughes: $9.5M

    Epenesa ~1M

     

    2019:

    Jerry Hughes: $12.9M

    Trent Murphy: $8.8M

    Shaq Lawson: $3.2M

     

    Pairing Von with Rousseau, Basham, and Epenesa not only upgrades the position, but actually decreases our total edge rusher spending as well.

    Shows the importance of rookie contracts.

    Trading Edmunds makes no sense at this point

    How do you explain our worst game defensively being without Edmunds? Look, I can’t argue against the fact he doesn’t make plays. I also don’t see a lot of plays being made against Edmunds. So it goes both ways. 
     

    We all believe a Mike backer is supposed to be around the ball every play and that definitely isn’t Edmunds. I don’t know what they’re asking of Edmunds. I would love to hear McDermott explain what they expect from Edmunds.

     

    To me it seems like he’s a MLB version of a 2 gap NT. What’s I meant by that is they use his size and length to clog passing lanes. That seems to be his job.

    I don’t agree with that, Diggs lays himself out there constantly

    True.  Diggs puts himself out there.  Has the body control and awareness to avoid brutal hits.

     

    I'm thinking of those games where the defense will give you underneath yards if you're willing to take a hit.  Beasley excelled there and would play hurt.   Really tough dude at 174 lb.   However, my comments are less about putting Beasley on a pedestal than they are about seeing how the Bills will work certain areas of the field with him gone.  Flex a back, use your TE, etc. ?

    Loved what he brought to the table.  Came up big in big games, super dependable, tough and very productive for the Bills.

     

    Great signing and helped Josh in his development.   He will be missed but it’s the right move.

    Arguably the most willing of any of our receivers to take a beating to make the play.  I'm guessing we'll ask the tight ends to pick up the underneath yards.

    How about a Free Agent Guard? Titans release Saffold

    Would love it, but not expecting anything even close in FA.

     

    I think Beane's plan will be to sign a couple of mid-tier FAs, and draft a C/G in the 2nd or 3rd round (and maybe even another in the 6th/7th).

     

    Here are the guys to watch from our meeting list...

     

    Cam Jurgens - C/G Nebraska
    Logan Bruss - C/G Wisconsin
    Zion Johnson - C/G Boston College
    Lecitus Smith - G Virginia Tech
    Dohnovan West - C/G Arizona State
    Kenyon Green - C/G Texas A&M

    I hope it's both a free agent signing (ready to start Game 1) and a Day 1-2 draft pick for interior OL.  People can talk WR, TE, RB all day, but it's the OL that makes all these offensive fantasies come true.  Not only for pass protection, but who wants another year where the O coordinator has Josh run and hurdle because we can't establish a running threat?

     

    I'm also a bit tired of hearing about a lineman that can play multiple OL positions yet excel at neither.  It's time to commit to at least one dominant guard like we had in Ritchie.  If Beane now likes tall rangy tackles, then he can also learn to appreciate a guard that can execute a drive block.

    Todays Take on Generational Money Where is That Line ?

    Aren't we really discussing generational "wealth"?  

     

    I don't think there's such a thing as generational money.  Money is an input into wealth but it's not the only input.  It's just the income.  

     

    You can make $10 million dollars a year.  The person who blows it all on conspicuous consumption is a different wealthy from the one that hides it all in the walls of his house as cash or the one who takes that same money and invests it into real estate, the stock market, etc.  

     

    The wealthy in this country, even historically, weren't Scrooge McDuck swimming in a room full of greenbacks.  Their wealth was in lots of things. 

     

    Any NFL player can be generationally wealthy - it depends on what he does with that income.   

    Yes.  Any NFL player that invests heavily for a few years in their 20's should be set even if they work a common job the balance of their working years.  The time value on say $100k invested before you're 26 would be tremendous.
