Chaos

Dawson Knox is paid like a star player. He has certainly flashed star talent. And he seems like a wonderful human being. I feel like the Bills don't get the expected production of out his salary level because he needs to help in pass protection too much. A couple of questions which I am sure the more technical football analysts at TBD can help answer. 1)If we simply add a solid tackle, and handle protections that way, does Knox automatically become more productive 2)If we added a big blocking TE like Darnell Washington, would that make Knox able to be more productive as the pass catching TE/someitme slot receiver 3)If we added both a solid tackel and a blocking TE like Darnell Washington, could Knox's pass catching protection grow to the Kelce/Gronk level? I feel like Knox is a break out star waiting to happen, but if it doesn't this year, it probably never will.

Shamelessly bumping (again) for more votes, would like to get to 100. Feel free to tell me why Jack Campbell is the wrong choice. Likewise tell me why Darnell Wright is the wrong choice.

It appears that Allen is by far the best “teammate” in Bills history. He is like 10 wins above replacement but never ***** about crap protection , second rate offensive weapons and HC/DC/defense choking. So he becomes a lightning rod for ridiculous criticisms. He is the only player in the NFL judged against “perfect” on a regular basis.

Drew Sanders LB Darnell Wright OT

Maybe just keep it simple and trade up for Skoronksi and know that we got a starter in the first round to help protect Josh.

it seems the majority opinion is that none of the top 3 LBs (Campbell, Sanders, Simpson) will be available at 59. There seems to be some possiblity that a starting OT could be had at 59 (Mauch, Beregon)

Oliver isn't worthis his 10.7 million cap hit. Who is going to give up picks and absorb his cap hit for a 1 year over priced player who becomes a free agent next year.

Reading comprehension is a must. I don’t hate campbell but he is not even my first round choice. I prefer someone to block for Allen.

Seems unrealistic. Campbell and Johnson wiil be gone before those picks. There will also likely be better recievers than Mims at 55.

Interesting post. Good information

Have you heard of this guy Aaron Rodgers?

Today's luckiest effort

shamelessly bumping for votes

Maybe this really means Dorsey is running the show, and McD is told to focus on defense.

which site are you doing this on? I would be happy with this.

A proper response to the question from McDermott would have been. "Josh's aggressive running style has won us games, that we might have lost because of my coaching blunders, but I still need to convince him his safety comes first." Other than generic platitudes "it starts with me, blah blah blah" McDermott never acknowledges his direct mistakes. Most often he portrays himself as perfect and blames "execution".

Update: Further Fine Tuning: Down to two choices (will not necessarily be final) but looking to get a Majority Leader. New Choice is Darnell Wright or Jack Cambell. ( There are 16 players ranked clearly higher, that should be selection as BPA available. Jack Campbell is the fan's favorite to fill the biggest perceived hole on Defense, LB and Darnell Wright seems to be the favorite to "better protect Josh Allen. results of original poll questions

To be fair, its not a topic to discuss in public at all, and particularly should include "It must change". McD should not be publically criticizing Allen. In reverse Allen criticizes himself plently, and never points out the head coaches many in game blunders, and never points out the problems resultign from the over investment in defense. (compare this to certain other Franchise QBs who pipe up all the time) Its reached the point where Allen needs to start calling out the coaching and GM blunders.

Your lack of ability to process a hypothetical does not extend to others. Josh Allen on the Chiefs and Mahomes on the Bills would not change any reasonable thinking persons likelyhood of which team was more likely to win the super bowl. As I understand our Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator, the main problem facing the offense is Josh Allen's agressive running style. This is a far bigger problem, than QB protection or better offensive weapons. Glad to see we have the right focus by the HC.

It seems since voting on this poll, the public has moved significantly in favor of Darnell Wright as the fourth OT off the board. Hoping for a few more votes to see if that is true. Separately only 11 of 60 voted they wanted Wright in the first round, but in a different poll among Campbell, Zay Flowers and Wright, Wright is the current leader.

35/48 People who voted so far will be happy to have Bijan Robinson as the pick at 27. (I am one of the 35). I feel as though this goes against the consensus of opinions I have read on the board here. Trying to generate some more voting, to see if the vote so far is representave.

There is zero chance using the PFF default setting that Cambell is available 59 or Bergeron at 91. @GunnerBillwho follows this stuff as closely as any poster has a different take. NFL.com grades Hyatt much higher than Flowers too.

It is shown in the image, albeit it is small. With the Lions the Bills trade 2023 #1 and 2023$7 for the Lions #2024 #1 and the Lions 2024#7 plus the Lions 2023 #5 (152) and Lions 2023 6th (183). Those 2023 picks turn into Andre Iosivas and Starling Thomas.

I think the trade down scenerio is most likely for a pass catcher. One of Kincaid, Mayer, Flowers, Hyatt, Downs is left at 27. Other teams seem to value those positions more than the Bills have in recent years. Not sure it creates a mad rush. But teams like Texans (33) Cardinals(34) Colts (35) may want to move ahead of the Bengals and Chiefs.

I don't make the mock draft rules. PFF does.
