I agree - he's a very good zone corner and I believe and upgrade from Wallace. In saying that, I trust beane and any of Nelson, Peterson, Gilmore, Rhodes or even Seymour would do

NYG have no cap space. That's why they'll have to cut Bradberry

As Allen said perfectly the night he was drafted, "I'm where I'm supposed to be." I think Darnold would have been much better on the Bills than he was with the Jets, but still probably only at top 10-15 QB at best

I think Josh was at the top of their list, followed by Darnold. Interestingly, it's rumored that the Browns top two were Mayfield and Allen. Thank God they chose the wrong one

Conspiracy theory and certainly too early to substantiate BUT is it possible that the Bills aren’t holding a draft party due to the possibility of them trading out of the 1st? Holding a party without a pick would be strange. depending on who’s available at 25, in this draft trading down with Dallas and having picks such as 33, 57, 65 and 89 may be better than 25, 57 and 89 33 Breece Hall RB 57 Kyler Gordon CB 65 Lecitus Smith G 89 John Metchie III Wr 130 Calvin Austin III WR 168 Matt Araiza P 6th and 7th round I don’t care - maybe another CB, another OL, and a LB - this was all from a simulator btw

Dotson in the 2nd is extremely unlikely. He’s a 1st round talent and if he makes it to the 2nd round there will be too many teams early in the 2nd who are looking for a wr who didn’t take one with their first

I think we'll match unless he signs a deal that's front-loaded and/or if the Bills have serious plans to draft his replacement in Round 1, like Zion

Agree 100%. Dane held up really well in the playoffs. Now, the Bills may have been giving Dane more safety help than Wallace but the fact Wallace only got $4m per and the Bills weren't interested says a lot. I blame coaches for Wallace's alignment on the two passes in the last 13 seconds but in retrospect perhaps Wallace lined up wrong?? We'll never know.

Unlike most, I won't miss Wallace. he's a great story from UFA to starter, but, just recent memory of the playoffs I remember: 1. being burned for an easy TD on NE's first drive, bailed out by Hyde 2. Needless PI call vs NE on 3rd down 3. TD by Hill with a minute left 4. two catches were on him in the last 13 seconds (though full disclosure I blame coaching more than him) Seems to me, if the Bills weren't willing to pay him $4m per, they have similar observations. With hopefully a better pass rush this year, the CB's will be better protected too. Give me Peterson, Gilmour, Rhodes or even Seymour on a reasonable 1 year deal + draft two CB's (one on day one or two) and we'll be good to go

Like Tariq a lot but not at 25. Would love a top WR at 25 then trade up to the middle of the 2nd for Tariq Are we even sure Sauce lasts to 7 though. Trade would probably be contingent on that

Tre withstanding, in our system of zone, I think you can get a CB in rd 2 or 3 that'll work well. I go IOL first: Zion or Green, CB in the 2nd: Woolen, Gordon, Bryant, Taylor-Britt WR in the 3rd: Metchie III, Austin III, Kyle Phillips

I don't like McCreary at 25. Too small with short arms - not Beane's type at CB. I like about 6 other CB's better than him. I think McCreary falls to the 2nd, maybe the mid 2nd

or magic Beans

Like except 25 is too early for Breece. He seems to go in the mid 2nd in most drafts. If you really want him, trade #2 and #3 to move up in the 2nd

I'd rather have Patrick Peterson, maybe even Rhodes. Gilmore doesn't seem like a process guy

Especially since the last time we drafted a cb in the first lt was tre white at 27. Now the past doesn’t guarantee the future but if we get anywhere near Tre at 25 we’ll be golden

I like it but I think there’s probably about a 25% chance Jamison is there. take the best rated IOL, CB or WR on your board at 25 and do the same in rd 2, eliminating the position you chose in the 1st

The favorite one I’ve done so far. I traded 25 and a 5th for 26 and a late 3rd: 26 (via trade down) McDuffie CB 57 Rhyan OG 89 (via trade) Lindstrom OC 90 Austin III WR 130 Kyle Philips WR 185 Jolly CB 203 Araiza P 231 Price, RB

They can still extend Diggs and create significant cap savings - up to $12ish million I would guess can also extend/restructure a couple of others; poyer, Dawkins are a couple that come to mind

Beane will probably do something like this; extend the contract a year, adding a salary of say $4m to 2023 and converting $5m of the $6m 2022 salary into a signing bonus. The cap would then be: 2022: $3.5m 2023: $6.5m lowers the cap hit and gives you a solid backup for two years not just one

Love jerry but if we don’t move anybody out (Epenesa) there’s no room for him

Agreed BUT is much easier to have a man to man corner play zone than a zone corner (like wallace) play man to man. If healthy, Gilmore is going to be good in any scheme but he’ll still likely get $10m+ which is too rich for our blood. I Iike Peterson, Rhodes or maybe even Seymour on a 1 year cap friendly deal or a 2 year deal to spread out the signing bonus

Ha - cap cash if different than real cash. When he signed his contract he was wired his signing bonus of 18.5m.

Full disclosure, I’m biased as he was a friend of my sons at wake forest, but walker III will be as good as Hall
