Nobody knows.
Exactly this. The constant guarantee that people think they know about these comp picks drive me nuts. The NFL just awards them how they want.

I would definitely consider him in Round 2.
He aint lasting to 60. My dream is to move back and pick up more draft capital. Then use that capital to move up again into 2nd. I would rather have two picks in 35-45 range than 28 and 60. I don't care about the 5th year option. If the player is good enough, you signing him anyways. If he isn't your not picking it up. And if he is just mediocre, the 5th year option is an overpay.

Ricky Pearsall is up to 39 on DJ's big board.
He's my 5th rated WR. I think he fits perfectly to what the Bills need and what WR work best with Allen. Tell me this isnt what Beane and Mcdermott have been saying:
Pearsall is a loose, smooth wideout with outstanding hands and toughness. He is quick in his release and he understands how to change gears as a route runner. He is fluid getting into and out of breaks. He has outstanding hands. He attacks the ball at the highest point and makes some circus catches (SEE: one-handed gem vs. Charlotte). After the catch, he is quick to transition up the field and has the elusiveness to make defenders miss in space. He has a lean frame, but he plays with excellent toughness and competitiveness. Pearsall followed up an excellent 2023 season with a solid week at the Senior Bowl and should have a starting role from Day 1 for his drafting team.

Another case of this regime just getting married to a guy they have seen before and not going for the better option out there.
Rapp was not good, and to put the cherry on top, dude was always hurt when he had to play.
I don't even know how he fits McDermott's scheme. All the guy does is give up long plays.

kromer is one of the absolute best in the business and started back with us… checks note… 2 years ago.So you think Kromer wanted to release Morse? I highly doubt it. He has to just work with whatever the bosses give him. He isnt a miracle worker.

just as a pulse check -the coaches have some idea of McGovern
and we haven’t even entered free agency or the draft
Sorry, I dont trust these coaches to build an o line. It took them 5 years to build what we had last year.

Chances he would be able to play more than a handful of games this season was slim to none.

This is so dumb to me. Right back to the days of our o line being patch work.
Edwards is a below avg guard and who the heck knows if McGovern can play center.
What are we doing here?!!?

https://www.cover1.net/cole-beasley-option-routes-josh-allens-development-buffalo-bills/
This literally talks about how cole beasley changes up his speed on routes to get an advantage..
Or talk to a wide receiver coach.. changing up speeds doesn't mean running slow... It can help create leverage
You don't need to be running 23 miles an hour to create separation... You can do it with craftiness and savvy
You are missing the point. Look at the speed AD comes out of the break here:

Coaching and scouting for a long time I respectfully disagree
NFL wide receivers do not run balls to the wall every single play
Changing route speeds is a huge part of being an NFL wide receiver
Thats cool. Not sure I really care about you coaching some HS kids.
A WR in NFL has less than 3 secs to get open. They better be moving as fast as possible. The best NFL WRs are going full throttle.

Changing route speeds is a massive part of a world class route runner
You certainly just do not run full speed every single route
Mixing up tempo and variance... Allows you to set up cornerbacks for further routes... And gain leverage advantages
Everybody in the NFL is fast just running at 100% speed doesn't work.. guys like Jerry Rice and Antonio Brown and Cole Beasley and Andre Reed were Masters at changing routes speeds.. it's the variance that gets you an edge in the pros
Everybody is extremely fast you need to have nuance to route running
Sorry bud, but the best WR in the NFL runs balls to the walls every damn route and changes direction at full speed and literally cant be stopped.
WRs don't run full speed on routes because they cant change direction at an abrupt rate when they are running full speed.
Bums like Gabe Davis runs half their routes at half speed.

Did anyone hear AD Mitchell at his presser mention he doesn't run routes at full speed?
I'm glad someone pointed this out. I thought I heard that and it gave me a bad impression. I think he thought it was a flex, but he needs to be able to manipulate a route by running full speed.

They will restructure Allen before any of them
They may sign him to an extension too. Looking to give him more money and add some years to lower his cap even more right now.
Right now he is signed through 32, would it really be unreasonable to think he plays till 35?

As @GunnerBill pointed out, in listening to the end of Beane's presser at the Combine - the feeling I got was that Douglas is more likely to be released or traded than extended.
They are not getting rid of their number 1 CB. White may not play all of next year. They are treating him as not being here next year.
If Douglas doesn't want to do a contract extension, they will add a few void years just lowering the cap this year.

Pearsall is going top 40. I like him a lot better than other WRs that are supposedly first round right now. If Bills take him at 28, I would be very happy.

They need to do at least 3-4 extensions which take a lot of time.
Dawkins
Taron Johnson
Douglas
Maybe Morse, I would he has been great the last 2 years.

Most people were happy. @Back2Buff @Einstein @Wayne Arnold were not fans of the extension. And they took heat for it.
You are not allowed to criticize Allen and Beane on this board. This fanbase has rose colored glasses constantly on for these two.

I am not against a receiver in round 1, but I’m not in for a trade up unless it costs only a 5th or later pick. The only realistic trade up seems to be for Brian Thomas and I’m not sure he is a great deal better than Legette or Franklin or even Devonte’s Walker (in 2nd).
So many teams are looking for WR this year and this is considered a better WR draft. In 2022, there was 13 WR taken before pick 55. There is no waiting. They need to take one in round 1.

I love this discussion, but I think we have to brace for the possibility of not taking a WR in round 1. I don’t know what Beane might be able to pull off to address DT, DE in FA, but I know that the cap situation is bad and, despite what some want to believe, the cap is not completely elastic (meaning you can’t just keep kicking money down the road forever). At present, the team doesn’t even have enough DL to start, much less have backups. That is real and, while it is fun to think that the Bills could just score every drive if only they could add Thomas Jr, that isn’t true. LSU had BOTH Malik Nabors AND Thomas Jr AND Jayden Daniels at QB and they didn’t score every drive against college defenses. Whether in 1st or 2nd and 3rd, DL needs attention.
Its not happening. They are taking a WR round 1. My bet, they even move up to take one. If one thing this season showed, McDermott will make a good defense no matter who he has. As long as he time to get everyone in the right spots, he will have a good enough defense.

Truly harrowing!
Interesting, what are the knocks? Thin frame?
I'm trying to find the tweet, but they weren't very impressed with his ability to work the middle of the field.

I've seen some other draft nerds not like Troy Franklin either.

NFL is proving time after time what a disgusting organization they are.
The initial belief from the NFL is that Disney, Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent companies of ESPN, Fox, and TNT Sports, are indeed well within their rights to this streaming service agreement. However, the NFL is still looking for potential loopholes to stop the service, according to Ourand.
It’s certainly interesting to see the NFL pushing back so hard against this venture. The NFL’s decision to give Amazon Prime exclusive rights to future playoff games after giving Peacock a playoff game this year further proves that they see streaming services as the future of broadcasting.

That’s why we should bite the bullet and just draft a back up quarterback it would be cheaper
Fine with me. I'm curious where Penix ends up. I feel like he is going to fall.
