First Round Bust

likely a lot more than 10M per season which is what Andy Freaking Dalton got from the Bears last season; once the trades happen or more than likely don't (Wilson, Watson, Rogers, or a cut - Wentz, Darnold ?) other teams thinking win now and all we need is a qb to get to the next level - Steelers, Commies, Broncos, Saints - are likely landing spots

well I for one will be on the lookout for a certain, distinguished SJF alum whose talents include former Bills GM, current XFL League Presidente, yet another roadkill at PSE, and played himself in the movie Draft Day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_Day

says he is dropping weight into the 330s and going to sack master mentoring as his pocket pressures are not all that impressive at UGA, so he may be a 2-down-run-plugger who comes out in passing situations which is less than ideal for a first-rounder... and yes Bills d-line rotation could mitigate this..but I could live with passing on him in favor of a WR or CB and getting a DT in round 2, maybe a better overall athlete from UConn....https://www.si.com/nfl/draft/scouting-reports/travisjones

does this open the door to #19 staying possibly - had best game of career in the slot against Pats and our YAC needs to improve and that was on Beasley more or less as well

on with the show.... https://www.totalprosports.com/2019/11/07/older-male-fan-caught-recording-extreme-close-up-of-an-auburn-cheerleader-dancing-video/

ok maybe more of a hometown discount than min salary...1, existing cap it tight 2. Knox deserves to start 3. Bills arent and cannot pay a TE to split duties

pass...but hoping Gronk would come home for a SB run for a 1 year min deal,

love the fitz and all that goes with him and his legacy and mutual admiration of our fair city, but at age 40, coming back from hip surgery to heave TDs and picks galore as a throwback immobile pocket of yesteryear isnt going to happen, so lets leave it at that and expect him to retire as a beloved Bill now who we gonna get...Barkley, Andy Dalton, Jake Fromm. Mariota, Winston ???? god help us

is .500 in three seasons and 0-1 in the playoffs and wants to be shown the money...now ! somehow agent left-out a 1-0 record agains the Bills which may be his biggest accomplishment ?

interesting take, did they consider that 2 of the 3 top picks did not play the 2020 season; plus two of our later picks, the 'goose and Jack Anderson, were poached from the PS, with Anderson even having some starts for the iggles, that should be taken into overall formula as well ? The '21 Bills draft right or wrong will be judged by the productivity of two DEs and the relevnat number sacks, hurries, and then if not enough how well they set the edge and play the run...

its historic, its intrinsic, we were all on board with moves like Kay Stepheson for Chuck Knox and Hank Bullough for Kay, Wade for Marv, Greg Williams as well Not much love for Dick Jauron, must be the name...and another mediocre coaching record prior to be hired But I recall my dad hating the Marv Levy hire as another one of the above I also remember the days of yesteryear when Lou Saban would move RBs to LB - Bo Cornell WRs to DB - Ike Harrison and DLs to OL and vice versa all within the confines of training camp He did get OJ to 2,000 yards and Joe D to the HOF, and the Bills to one playoff imagine how much we would flame and debate these kind of moves nowadays

I do like the trade idea, but I like a WR in round 1 more and its a deep CB draft so trade up in the second round for a CB...I do like the variety of your picks but am stoked about the P...Ariaza is the best come out in a long time... holds the NCAA's record for most 50 yard punts and 60 yard punts,. ... And it isn't because he hits it low, as Araiza's punting average was the best in college football at 51.19 net yards, per NCAA.com.Jan 12, 2022...rumored to go in rounds 3-6 which is high but likely worth it...and I love Tarvis Jones at DT as he does press the pcoket...dont see us making 9 picks...thats too many to make our roster plus 2 got snatched from the PS last season as well.

is he a gunner on the ST, Taiwan was one last seasaon nd was hurt quite a bit, if so and the secondary depth he provides, esp with the run D, makes it a good 2 year deal I would think

yeah, this would be the second requested pay-cut for Star and likely as well as for Morse. which if neither bite would likely mean the release of Morse, which is not how McBeane like to operate given no existing replacement for Morse (other than Feliciano who is likely to be cut as well)...

most of us want to move on from Star, but according to Joe B (Athletic - small extract below) likely have to keep one more year... warning lots of math and accounting ...not for those easily bored with facts and budgets who want to sign free sexy agents. We have just learned...because of his salary renegotiation before he opted out, $2.5 million of his base salary was automatically guaranteed for the upcoming season, now would be taking a dead-money cap hit of $7.7 million and basically robbing themselves of both the cap space and the player. due to only $700,000 in potential cap savings, it may not add up to releasing him outright. Bills can make the best of a difficult situation by negotiating a pay cut with Lotulelei for 2022. Even though Lotulelei’s play wasn’t as good late in the season, his value to the Bills is likely worth much more than $700k in cap space they’d save. By cutting and replace with someone who hasn’t been in their system or is inexperienced and likely at a similar cost to the cap space saved. That should be motivation enough to strike a renegotiated deal with Lotulelei. From the player’s perspective, as a 32-year-old, his best chance for maximizing his money is likely in Buffalo. base salary for 2022 is $6.15 million, $2.5 million of which is already guaranteed. If Bills ask Lotulelei to reduce that base salary by $1.5 million to $2 million and ensure the remainder, that would lock in Lotulelei between $4.15 million and $4.65 million guaranteed for the upcoming season with the chance to earn $350,000 more in per-game roster bonuses. Star likely would not come close to $4.15 million to $5 million on the open market and team already saves a minimum of $1.5 million on the 2022 salary cap, more than double what they would have saved by releasing him outright, plus they get to keep the player. Additionally, can convert all but around $1 million of that renegotiated salary into a signing bonus and prorate it over the next two seasons. A negotiated pay cut of $1.5 million and that base salary conversion would save Bills a total of around $3.3 million on the 2022 cap, more than quadruple what they would save by releasing Lotulelei outright. Reduces 2023 cap savings to move on from Lotulelei, they would still be able to save about $4.5 million to cut him next offseason...can kick the can down the road another year and not have to draft a DT with a higher pick this year given Oliver's ascension (likely to pick up option) Harry (hoping to resign) Zimmer (depth- rehab ACL) Bryan (resigned for two year not just one - two pressures on 15 pass rushes plus position flex) and now Star...other than mid-late round PS stash would could be poached by other teams

he comes from a track family, ran the hurdles in high school, I also like his hands and catching ability not to mention the excellent menrtors llke Diggs and Davis...

glad you mentioned, since we are contenders, and the future is NOW, do we have a problem being more liberal with our draft pick capital than say before when we were roster building ? Case in point...we have nine (9) picks this draft, and we lost two picks from last season (G, CB) due to being cut and snatched from PS, (BTW I love saying *****). So trading-up for Jameson, based on draft points, we can go as high as pick #15 in the first round if we trade our second-round (52) as well as first (25)...is Jameson worth that ? We can then move back into the second round by trading, say our number 3 this year and next years number 2 which gets us a CB or DT in say mid-second round...to get back into the third round we can trade 4th round picks this year and next to get BAA....then we still have several late round picks to draft guards, RB, and maybe a P ? One of things we may have to do, due to the cap, is rely more on this years draft picks as depth-backups as opposed to cut and place on PS and risk loosing as we did last year...come mid-late season the rooks are a bit more ready to play...

good athletes, but lets debate pros and cons: CB - its a deep CB draft so what is the diff between pick 25 and say pick 52 for a CB which is based on Levi leaving or not ? I say he does, if so would be a depth pick, non-starter at least until mid-season ? DT - Davis (UGA) gap-plugger and run stopper for sure, but has no pass rush skills at college level, so a two-down player, and Bills current interior pass rush is next to nothing - other draft-eligible DTs have better pass rush stats that our DL surely needs, OK with waiting until second rounder. IOL - other than this center, https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/tyler-linderbaum/82291/draft-profile, I dont see the Bills making an IOL a first-rounder, while we could draft Morse replacement and groom, and we don't need OT tackles this draft, at least not a high pick, so draft some guards in the middle rounds...the next Wyatt Teller pls... WR - strengthen a strength - Jameson Wiliams - my first round focus and hope - will drop based on ACL tear in Jan 'ship game - also returned 2 kicks for TDs - big play ability is needed as Bills WR YAC was lowest in the league (and yes I am looking at you cole beasely) he becomes McKenzie replacement, start him as the limited gadget, jet sweep, backup returner to Speedy when he returns mid-late season from rehab. From PFF: Weaknesses Long but lean and lanky. Suffered ACL tear in the national title game. Press release is narrow and indecisive. Strider requiring extra time getting in and out of breaks. Competitiveness diminishes near the noise. Instances where he failed to finish routes. Below-average play strength when battling for catch space.

right now....too much

you want the best canuck evah, I give thee:

its a SNL classic line from yester-year..check it out on youtube...

good for him...following in the footsteps of another Bills obsure clipboard holder, who attended five straight super bowls without playing, or is that paying ? as well as 8 years in the NFL...great work if you can get it..and another accolade, he is a unique trivia question...suck on it Trebek Gale Reed Gilbert is a former American football quarterback who played eight seasons in the National Football League for the Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, and San Diego Chargers. He is the only player in NFL history to be on five consecutive Super Bowl teams, none of which won.

trust the process

nope not at alll, the Bills fortunes drive my interest, its an up cycle for us long-suffering fans, so the the negativity is muted based on the current fun and happiness this team currently brings...the playoffs were the best except for 13 seconds, which is a whole other story
