Chaos

Defense put the team in an instant hole.

This team is broken. Its fixable. But it is broken right now.

There are several WRs that are projected to be around after the third round that seem interesting.

My effort using PFF default settings and no trades. I would rather traded down than Take Harrison with 27.

In what world is Skoronski available at 27?

Now it is only relevent in the playoffs.

there is one plug and play offensive linemen in the draft. Get Henry and Skoronski in the same step.

Its 2023

This exists in your imagination.

It is taxed based on where you earn the Money. NYS certainly taxes the bonuses for Bills players.

There are 50 different income state tax codes. They range from a top rate of zero percent in several states to 13.3% in California. In NYS the state income tax on $10MM would 964,000. I Florida, it would be zero. That might make a difference in decision making.

Ed Oliver for Henry. A wash on cap. We have a better chance of winning it all in 2023 with Henry than we do with Oliver.

This is flat out wrong.

Damar Jackson. Buffalo Bills 2022. Defeated cardiac arrest.

Yes. Without giving up players or future draft picks, simply trading down in this draft. While this is possible in PFF world I don't think it could happen in real life.

Here are the 18 guys I would draft to replace these free agents: (I traded down several times) 3 CBs 2 Centers 2 Guards 1 Tackle 3 WRs 2 LBs 1 S 2 DL 2 RBs

During the Patriots era of domination they had a core of about 6 high end players and 16 others that changed frequently. The Bills core I s Allen and Diggs and Knox on offense. Miller White and Milano on defense. Everyone else is either a JAG or a JAG with potential to be more. In the final analysis Miller and whites injuries could not be overcome in the playoffs. Knox and White are concerns going forward. Diggs is 30. Miller is 34 this March. All of sudden the Bills are starting to feel like a rebuild.

Big strides make people look slower. I don’t know what round he goes in because RB is a low priority position in the NFL. Most project him as the ninth to tenth RB off the board. If he puts up that forty time at the combine he probably moves to fourth or fifth.

There is a related problem. Having a defense that only works if you one particular guy running it, seems like strategy doomed to failure.

Everyone I know would prefer the hall of famer who helped win four super bowls.

Johnson has good vision and balance. He has the misfortune of being second string to the unquestionable best RB in the country. I made Mitchell Analogous to Bijan Robinson in my OP. Is that offensive to Mitchell?

Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris graduated together at Penn State. During their senior season, Mitchell had twice as many carries, almost 900 more yards than Harris, and finished fifth in the Heisman voting. Oddly, he lasted until pick 48 in the draft, while Harris was selected by the Steelers 13th overall as the start of his HOF career. Never understood what the Steelers saw there. But they were obviously right. Johnson is a huge back 6'2 225 with speed who the Bills should be looking at if he drops to third round. (I am not putting Johnson in Canton yet)
