Chaos

I want Darnell Washington for the Bills. Hard to see how we get him though. So looking through measurables and stats for TEs in the draft and came across Mason Fairchild TE. Besides his football accomplishments Fairchlid was a NATIONAL high jump champion in high school. Here is the tale of the Washing vs. Fairchild Tape: Stat Washington Fairchild Height 6' 7" 6' 5" Weight 267 261 40 time 4.64 4.85 Targets in 2022 43 ? Catches in 2022 28 35 Passer Rating when targeted 2022 111.2 148.3 TDs 2022 2 5 Sacks Allowed 0 0 Pressures Allowed 0 1 are two inches of height and 2/10's in the 40 the difference between early second rounder and UDFA?

so far these replies are depressing

Washington is much more than the 6th olinemen. The passer rating when he was targeted last year was 105, better than Michael Mayer. I have this minor fantasy of people imagining he is staying into to block and instead releases to an wide open easy catch the way Kelce seems to be able too. And as I said, the way the Saints use Graham early in his career was not really even as a tight end. I think the skils for washington and knox, would allow for a lot of creativity.

Been a number of discussions on Kelce seeming unstoppable. Is there any player or team in the league with a reputation for stopping Kelce from dominating a game when the Chiefs need him too?

We use Knox extensively and effectively in the red zone. We don't need to use him between the 20's. We literally had the fewest punts in the league last year. Knox has been used more in playoffs and has been suffessful for us in the playoffs. Personally I think Darnell Washington at TE would allow knox to become a Jimmy Graham type TE (ie quasi-wr). And knox becomes weapon 2, if not WR2.

I don't this could happen, but if we could get Wright and Washington on this offense, I think we would be unstoppable

They were a fluke play away from beating the Bengals in the playoffs ( a team that kicked our butt the next week). If Lamar plays on the tag, and OBJ plays back to old form, they will be better than the team that almost beat the bengals.

I expect Tippmann to be taken before Schmitz in real draft.

Real question. What did Edmunds do that Nickle Safties don't do?

Please tune your sarcasm detector.

Young needs a water bug and a strong defense. Stop wasting your picks on these lineman.

Well, Beane already shored up the guard position. Bates is not great, but just was not the disaster Brown was last year, notwithingstand a GM trying to talk up a player.

It seems like there is a real push-me pull-me on the Bills Board. Its seems there is a consensus that the NFL as a whole has "devalued" the LB position. It also seems people seem to think the most important position on the Bills defense is a linebacker who is no longer with the team. The Bills scheme will just shift to whatever allows all the other teams to "devalue" LBs.

Tippman is still undrafted.

Lining Torrence up next to the mountain of a man human turnstile Spencer Brown is is not appealing to me. If we are looking for a mountain, lets draft Dawand Jones. Jones is going to be good in the NFL, if he can hold up for the entire NFL season.

I think Hyde, Poyer and the two safeties we draft this year are expected to handle the slack from Edmunds. In reality Edmunds played more like a safety than an LB.

After this season, we may be facing wholesale changes. Hyde, Poyer, Miller, Morse are all older beat up. All of them could be gone. Tre White post injury was not good, without a return to form for White, and Hyde and Poyer aging, the secondary is a disaster. Bills should use the first round pick on someone who can contribute in 2023 as well as in the future. Drafting a DT now who doesn't improve the position meaningfully in 2023, in order to fill a 2024 makes little sense to me. I don't want to draft McDonald, but teams should only count on the rookie contract. In the case of Edmunds, we could not afford his peak years, after the rookie contract. With McDonald we would be getting his peak years for the entire rookie contract.

PFF simulation model makes the rules, not me.

If Campbell is a 3 down starter from day 1 and for 5 years, that is a perfectly good use of pick 27. (some ifs in there though)

Hendon Hooker will help the bills as much as Jordan Love has helped the Packer so far.

Unless we trade up to the second pick to take Robinson not sure it is the same vibe.

I have the concerns about Dell. But he has been incredibly durable and productive while a guy the Bills seem to be consider 6'2 213 LB WR Michael Wilson has only been on the field for 14 games over the last 3 seasons.

With the 25th pick in the 2023 NFL draft the NY Giants Select Zay Flowers, WR Boston College If Flowers doesn’t want you to touch him, chances are you won’t. He has that rare ability to sprint in any direction in the blink of an eye. Get him matched on a linebacker or safety and it’s over. We spent $160 mm on Danny Dimes. We are doing everything we can to make that look like a good decision. The Cowboys and @Might Rather are on the clock.
