Chaos

Campbell is bigger stronger faster more agile. he led the nation in pass coverage from the LB position in 2022. Why is Sanders better?

If you ignore the linebacker situation, its a lot easier

I don't know if interviews are a leading indicator. For example, it seems unlikely no one will draft Jack Campbell.

Up until now he has been projected as a consensus 2nd or 3rd round draft pick. should we be expecing him as the Bills first rounder if he is still there?

No interviews by any NFL team for Jack Campbell. No interviews by any NFL team for Joe Tippmann. Only 3 for Bijan Robinson Giants (picking 26) (Bills 27) (Eagles 30)

Twenty five percent of Bills interviews are WR's 6/24

28 NFL teams have requested interviews with Julius Brents. I have not seen much (maybe no discussion) of him on TBD. Why is he in such demand? The second most popular player Kelee Ringo has 11, no one else has more than 8.

I read Darnell Washington as Darnell Wright. a bunch of the bolded players will be in round 2. I don't think any of them make it 59, which is all that matters to the Bills right now.

Beane is following this thread carefully

Because the Bills don’t have enough curses.

For purposes of the Bills' board it doesn't matter if Richardson goes 1st or 26th. I also think he will go first though.

homophonicphobia not welcome here.

Updated 4/1/2023 - V1.2 - Darnell Wright OT to 23 ahead of Jack Campbell LB, based on TBD voting. Lukas Van Ness Iowa,Dalton Kincaid Utah,Michael Mayer Notre Dame removed from the BPA list to automatically be selected ahead of Wright. Bijan Robinson moved ahead of Zay Flowers. Some small reshuffling among 38-40 based on TBD polls and commentary.

The Bears, Browns and Bills play in the most extreme weather conditions in the NFL. Lets some up their 21st century Super Bowl success. Green Bay is cold too, but does not have the lake driven wind conditions.

I have come to believe there is zero chance Campbell lasts until 59.

BPA after the first two picks did not come close to any available WRs. I mentioned in a different post, that the Bills don't have much liklihood of finding a WR2 better than Davis, one of the 3 LBs who are expected to be first year starters in the NFL, and an offensive tackle that is likely to be better than Spencer Brown this year. Two of out three is going to have to do.

Fortunately the GM and Coach both found time and occassion in the off season to callout Allen for his aggressive running style. Because that is why the Bills can't get past the division round of playoff games.

I don’t think teams look at just the next spot on board. If you think you can get campbell and Bergeron by staying put But taking wright at 27 means there is no linebacker that you consider starting quality at 59, you need to consider that.

As good as the offense is we would benefit from a chain mover type. Could be Julian Edelman/Wes Welker slot guy type. Could be TE. Of the guys on the roster Knox is the best chance for that. I think it is too easy to separate scheme and talent. I think a Better oline allows Dorsey better scheme options. But even if the oline talent is the same I can hope Dorsey finds a way to mix it more. An earlier poster suggested that 15 yards per game could come out allen runs. Over the course of the season that adds up.

since everyone else is ranked lower than 27, you need to be prepared for the idea that all are gone. And you don't like 35, and lets say your next olineman is ranked 46 on your board. Do you take 35? or take a different position?

I agree with you. But there is a logical followup question "can I improve the line as much with pick 59 as I can with pick 27?" The consensus top 3 OTs (Skoronski, Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones) will be off the board at 27. If we had pick #11 and were discussing taking one of those three or an LB, it would be a no brainer. There is even a chance Darnell Wright is off the board at 27. So do we take the fifth best OT( Beregon or Mauch) or best guard Avila or Torrence, or take the top LB available and hope Beregon or Mauch are available at 59 (and further hope they are better than Spencer Brown).

There are passing plays where Allen has a clean pocket, and as a fan you have a near 100% certainity he is going to complete a good pass. I think this is because he has time to get through all his progressions without having to move from the pocket. I think all the recievers numbers go up if we improve the line.

I have voted for Wright, having said that I wanted to post this pro-Jack Campbell info. There seems to be this impression that he is this slow throwback player. I don't hink that is true at all. Of all the players invited to the combine, there are only five players who have an NFL grade of 6.2 or above, a PFF grade of 90 or above, have the prototypical height and weight for their positions, and run a 40 faster than the protoptype for their position. Campbell is one of those five. Campbells pass coverage grade was the highest in the country for linebackers in FBS programs. A 6 foot 5, it is possible Cambpell would be like an Edmunds except with football instincts and better abiltity to finish tackles.
