S Diggs just unfollowed you.
Without Allen, Diggs doesn't matter in the decision making for Beane.

Projected 7th round prospect. Negative seems to be he is 24 years old.
HEIGHT: 6-4 (89%*) WEIGHT: 260 (98%*)
HANDS: 9 (21%*) ARM: 33 4/8 (74%*)
SPAN: 80 (92%*)
FORTY: 4.49 (C) (95%*)
SHUTTLE: 4.51 (P) (9%*)
10 YARD SPLIT: 1.59 (C) (70%*)
DJ Johnson from Burbank High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Johnson joined Oregon after being heavily recruited.
Elite athletic skills -- Made Bruce Feldman's Freaks List at number 4. He wrote "Johnson had a dominant showing in the Ducks’ spring game, making five TFLs and four sacks. Those numbers are as jaw-dropping as the results the 6-4, 275-pounder has produced in the Oregon training program, posting a blazing 22.88 mph on the GPS to go with a 455-pound bench and 655-pound sumo deadlift."
Tougher between the tackles than many expect. Fluid and quick drop into zone, covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 "MIKE" and knows where the markers are.
He has the strong core and powerful hands to shed blockers, and he shows excellent instincts with the ability to quickly locate the ball.

Wake up. This is NFL 2023. There is no football entitlement.
Except for Brandon's Beane's entitlement to rest on the laurels of the brilliant Josh Allen pick forever apparently.

There will not likely be anyone available at 27 that in a few years fans will say lived up to “a first round pick’s expectations “.
Trade all of our top picks for a 1,2&3 next year plus some later round picks this year. We are running it back with the old timers this season, Morse, Miller, Hyde, Poyer, and have all of last years draft picks who didn't get to play last year. Plug them in, sit this years later round picks behind them, and be prepared for next seasons inevitible reload in the draft:

For me: One of the OTs or Downs. Although not thrilled with Downs' size.
It seems like it is defined to create a giant dilemma for Bill's fans. BPA at the least needed position. Ugh. I would hope to be able to trade down a couple of spots and take which ever OT is left. I would avoid Downs because of his size.

There is no reason to take a RB in rd #1 of the modern NFL.
pff MOCK draft simulator regularly presents this at the default settings
Who do you pick? -

There are so many roster holes/issues that drafting for need vs. BPA is one-and-the-same this year.
More specifically: still need RT, still need IOL, still need RB1, still need WR2, still need TE2, still need DE2, and still need MLB. This doesn't even consider issues with Oliver and the fact they're relying on three vets in the secondary to overcome significant injuries.
But if BPA is a QB, you do agree they should draft another position?

I watch 8-10 games a week every week of the regular season. I watch the condensed game versions (about 45 minutes but show every play) on my commute. Each year there are a few teams I get to the end of the season and have barely watched but most teams in the NFL I have a pretty good feel for and could name like 17 or 18 of their starting lineup and tell you what I think of their play.
So I feel like I have a pretty good base fron which to judge strength of rosters and players across the league.
so less than teams of people who watch every game and sell their results for megabucks to NFL teams and the public. No disrespect, but until you can monetize your opinions with the NFL, there is no reason for anyone else to think they are better or more accurate. Just different.

Yea fully healthy isn't the issue. Does he play like he is scared to commit as he did last year? If so he is the worst value player on the roster. If we get the old Tre back he is one of the best 4 players on the roster. At the moment it feels 50/50 to me.
We will still win the East as long as Josh is healthy. We are still the best team. I am very confident of that.
But we are further away from a Superbowl than we felt a year ago. It sucks that 2022 was so injury affected because it really was the optimum year to do it. That said, a year ago lots were predicting a down year of sorts for KC but they nailed another draft their 2nd year players took another step and they ended up winning it all. So while I agree the offseason has been uninspiring thus far I am not pressing the panic button yet.
We will win the east. However even if we go 17-0, we won't know if any improvements made matter until the divisional round of the playoffs. 17-0 would be a blast, but it will take patience to get to the real answer.

If he has a good year he could be the centerpiece of the D line and sign him to a new contract.
He is going to be a free agent. If he has a good year on the Bills another team can offer him the same contract. Oliver is only worth his current salary. If he was released outright, no one is likely signing him for more than $10mm this season. So teams aren't going to give up compensation for the same luxury.

I have very little confidence in a guy that tiny. I’m not sure if the plan is to find a Tyreek Hill style player but I seriously doubt this guy is it. And with the unexplainable obsession with STs…I’m sure that’s a plan here too. Which, why are we bringing Hines back then? This team just will not get away from these STs roster spots. The truth is, STs has been almost rendered useless
If Harty turns out to be the next Tyreke Hill in hiding, then Beane will be the executive of the year. If he performs at his historical production levels, we need a new GM. Truth probably lies somewhere in between.

Well he was their starting OG and Zeke runs inside. So if he is so poor in run blocking, it must mean Zeke can still contribute himself. Problem solved.
You have a fair point. If we can wizard him him at the vet min of $1,165,000 he might be worthwhile.

Starting with Connor McGovern, yes.
He was the Cowboys worst run blocking linemen. Do we get any of the good run blockers?

Singletary is worth more to the Bills signing somewhere else so we get the Edmunds comp pick than he is bringing back.
He is nothing special but he is not bad either. Doesn't have that many carries. He and Cook would be fine for another year but so would just about any other RB to pair with Cook.
I'd rather see Fournette on a 2 yr deal. He is a big back and excellent in pass blocking. He was released do doesn't count against you in the comp pick formula. Would be a nice compliment and veteran presence for Cook/Hines. At the right price.
I don't like continuity for continuitys sake. And I am not a big Singletary fan. And they points you make about the comp pick seem valid. Hoever, I felt like going into the 2022 season if you polled Bills fans on what team had the best team chemistry in the NFL, the Bills would have been a runaway number 1 pick. That seems like it is changed now. I don't think the Bills have any intention of resigning Singletary, but I wonder if replacing him with a similar JAG does more or less for team chemistry (as unmeasurable as that is).

We dont need burst from Zeke. That is what James Cook, who will be getting the majority of carriers, is for.
We need Zeke for short yardage, or when we get inside the 5 yard line. He still has enough power, and his top-level instincts and vision, to find the right opening and power through for the TD.
Even being worn down, he had as many rushing TDs last year (12) as Josh (7) and Singletary (5) combined.
Need him to compliment Cook like he did Pollard.
Do we get the Cowboys 2022 Oline for these short yardage rushing situations?

Tre White is fully healthy
What is your source of information for this? What does fully healthy mean? Does that mean he will play at his 2020 level of play? Or his late 2022 level of play?

Do you really look at those ratings though? They don’t pass the eye test sorry. I like PFF for some stuff. Their OL grades are hogwash. They mean nothing. Sam Mustipher? Lol really? C’mon
How many games do you watch a year. If you watch four games a week, and focus on nothing but oline play, that means you will have seen 25% of plays. If you watch only Bills games, you see a small fraction of the games overweighted with 6 of them being AFC east opponents. None of our eye tests really matter, other than too ourselves.

I personally would give them Oliver,or the pick, not both.
My Oliver fantasy trade is send him back to Houston for their two 3rd round picks.
Oliver barely produces at the 10 mm salary cap level. He has no meaningful value in a trade. He is also not a big liability. He is neutral. His inclusion in a trade is simply to shift salary cap, allowing other parts of a trade to be made.

The Bills do need a succession plan though. He is one bad head knock away from being done.
I would consider cutting Morse and save 6 million on the cap. He just is not a meaningful part of the future.
But if you are holding on to Morse, you should be all in on Seumalo because both of those guys are on well on the back nines of their careers, and if you are keeping Morse the time is now.
The current regime seems to be praying that Spencer Brown goes from turnstile to at least average NFL linemen. Holding on to Morse and praying Spencer Brown gets better, and signing McGoven seem more patchwork than strategic. It might work. I certainly want it to work.
However, I think in the long run, the Bills are better off using these season to go younger on the oline, with the hopes of them being together for four or five seasons before free agency breaks them up. (This assumes the ability to draft good olinemen). I think it is plausible to Maneuver to end up with Dawand Jones and Steve Avila, and even going nuts and adding Joe Tipman to those two. Spencer Brown can be in on this competition. McGovern is young enough and affordable enough to do this. I would rather role with Gabe Davis at WR2 then use the draft capital to improve that spot, with the current oline in place. Defense needs to figure out how to get it done with what they have. -

That assumes Tennessee even wants Oliver. Why would they want an undersized, underperforming DT who's owed almost $11M dollars this year?
That was my point that it depends how much they were willing to accomodate Henry. Hence "it would be stretch" and "its a narrow road". Not sure how to help you understand further.
-
The market massively shifted for WRs in free agency after that trade. Also look at the Justin Jefferson side of the trade. Rookie first rounder with five years of play time. Not every decision is the same. Bills no longer have a young QB who needs veteran support. Trading a first for Jeudy would be a terrible terrible decision.

1 minute ago, Billz4ever said:
How exactly are you getting Oliver's $$ off the books?
It depends to some extent on how much the Titans want to accomodate Henry's desire to be on a contender. If the Bills traded their 2nd and Oliver for Henry, that would be on the low end of the ball park of what the titans are looking for. That leaves the first round pick available to help on the online. Its a stretch, but that would seem to be the narrow road.
Suitable Edmunds Replacements in the draft
in The Stadium Wall

Edmunds was once an athletic freak project (except not as big , fast or strong as Beal). Did you have pacheco identifed as a 7th rounder last year to be a difference maker for the Super Bowl winner.
