  2. I'll call it right now.

     

    On draft day we will be rooting for WR round 1 and we'll pass on "our guy" for the BPA DT...  lol

    How can we keep having to reload the DL every year? Are the one year contracts that beane loves so much hurting us? It seem every year we have to keep retooling the DL because every year we lose so many lineman?

    Agreed.  It's a LOOOOONG list!

  3. With Settle and Ford, I have them as offering the vet minimum as just in case 3rd stringers....  

     

    But in actuality, I'm hoping we sign Jones, and also target a quality DT in the draft, so Settle/Ford (or both) wouldn't make the 53 man roster.

     

    FA Targets?

    Maybe Christian Wilkins (Miami)?  We'd have a HUGE amount of $$ tied up at the DT position if we sign Jones and Wilkins, but DL is an area of "need" for investment.  Hard call.

  4. I get that but you have to be careful what you wish for.  Cobbling together a whole brand new unit might be amazing, or it could be a disaster.  There's something to be said for continuity.  What's the answer?  I'm not sure....  I think it's a really tough call.  

     

    I like Jones as my #1 target on that list.

     

    I'd be hesitant of Epenesa $$$, but hopefully he comes back without a stinker contract for the club.

     

    My "Walk" players are Leonard Floyd, Jordan Phillips, Shaq Lawson, Linval Joseph, and Von Miller (find him a new home).

  5. Just posting some facts here in hopes of generating some DL offseason discussion.  Lots of players UFA, and I think that Von Miller is done as well, being on the wrong side of 30, personal issues, injuries etc.  Not the same player.

     

    UDFA DT, ED, Edge:  

    Rank the below players as PAYDAY players, WALK players (let 'em move on), Take it or Leave it offers (minimums), and RETAIN if possible players (competitive offer but may lose 'em)

    DT Daquon Jones

    DE Leonard Floyd

    DT Jordan Philips

    DT Tim Settle

    DE AJ Epenesa

    DE Shaq Lawson

    DT Poona Ford

    DT Linval Joseph

     

    OLD (and other issues)
    EDGE Von Miller

     

    That's a LOT of contracts to consider this offseason.  What stands out the most for me is whether we PAYDAY Daquon Jones, and DE AJ Epenesa?  I think that we WALK Leonard Floyd or give him a Take it or Leave it offer.

    He's coming on his 5th year and not been able to break the starting lineup yet and/or replaced by others (see McGovern). I think he's a career backup, not a horrible because of his position flexibility but I'd rather find a younger successor to Morse tbh. 

     

    I see OC as a relatively high draft need (not so much FA need).

  7. Move on from Diggs when his contract is up.  

     

    Even a diminished Diggs is better than most in this league.  

     

    Draft or sign a new #1 WR in the FA to take some pressure off of him.  Getting old sucks in this league, but when teams are smart with their 30+ players by adding younger talent to take some reps, guys like Diggs can have a resurgence, and return to form (just less pressure).

    Do NOT trade up. Whoever we take, I can just about guarantee a guy will go later who will be just as good or better. Happens every draft.

     

    Bills have 10 picks in this draft.

     

    I totally agree that there will be players outside of round 1 that will be "good or better" than some picked in the first, but with that kind of draft capital, you trust your scouts, and move up on one to three "must have" players for the organization.

     

    The Bills are a top team, and I could only see maybe 4 or 5 drafted players at best making the 53 man roster.  Bills better be busy retaining their free agents who are playing at a high level to maintain continuity.

    This Laporta kid drafted after him is crushing it in Detroit 

     

    Id like to see similar things from Kincaid 

    I think its due to lack of WR depth in Detroit.  Laporta has got to be second in targets out in Detroit.  I'd say Davis is stealing targets from Kincaid and it's a good problem to have.

     

    Love Kincaid, but he might just be a secret weapon to be used when defenses least expect it.  I'm happy to see him develop while Diggs/Davis get the job done.

  10. What's going to happen with Knox (I wonder).  I see some formations with Knox and and Kincaid on the field at the same time, with Kincaid in the slot....  But with respect to Knox, he's really DINGED with the addition of Kincaid.

     

    Knox will see his targets cut in half, as well as his TDs this year.

     

    Kincaid is a special player.  Can't wait.

  11. Seasons for playoff calibre teams often come down to a handful of plays that fall one way or another.  
     

    most of it has to do with preparation, conditioning and execution.

     

    BUT

     

    some of that is luck

     

    some of that is a missed call by a ref

     

    ………..

     

    also: tuck rule, inflate gate, spying, laces out.

    Thanks for posting Newcam.

     

    Just a comment on the second guy putting KC and the Bengals as elite with about 9 others in a "hodge podge" together (including the Bills).  I think that honestly KC is taking a step back this year and is in the same "hodge podge".  The Bengals' defense is okay.  

     

    This league is very strong across the board, and I'd say about 10 teams have a very good chance (almost equally) of being AFC champs, and get to the superbowl.  Equally....

     

    KC does not have a true #1 WR.  They rely on Kelce and the running game, with a top 3 QB at the helm.  Their Defense is average to below average.

     

    The Bengals I think are better than KC this year but "elite" might be too high of a label.  This is a "media thing", where they have to categorize like this so they have something to talk about.  

     

    The Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Chiefs, Bengals, Browns, Chargers, Jaguars, Browns all have serious chances.

     

    Why get so stuck on "elite" vs. the rest?  All of these teams could win 12+ games in the regular season.  All of them.  All of these teams could also go 8-8.  

     

    That's why they play the games.

     

    The Bills have as good a chance of winning a superbowl as they have ever had in the past 30 years.  I think they have a top 5 defense, a top 3 QB, a #1 WR, and we could see a top 5 RB this year as well.  I'm excited to see what we have with two TE sets, and Gabe (captain Gabe) making some noise as well.  Defensively we still should have a top 8 defense (arguably better than the "elite" KC and Bengals).

     

    Go Bills.

    Okay. So who starts at Gunner?

     

    Big surprise to me. I really liked him coming out. He'd be top of my PS list.

     

    Cos before his injuries in college he was a stud. I am still amazed he went undrafted. Okay I haven't seen the medical reports but I'd have been more than willing to gamble on that talent with a late day 3 pick.

    Watching the McAfee show...  

     

    Josh Allen is on and called Shorter a "gunner"....  :)
