This is exactly right and why in all probability Mario had no future with the team no matter how he performed last year. The signing of Dareus and Hughes last year virtually guaranteed they would be moving on.

If you watched Mario underperform this position last year to,the overall detriment of the defense, I am not sure how you can make this comment. It is a very important position. It was just not played very well (really at all) by Mario. They still have a hole at LB. however, I am confident they can find someone to outplay Bradham's horrible performance last year. Lawson is a great pick, great fit.

Yes, and that is about where the comparison ends.

I would be "all in" on this draft.

The problem with this is the Bills do not need to address the loss of Gilmore until it actually happens. Even if they decide to let him walk next year, they do have him this year, and they have real needs at DL and LB. it makes no sense to draft a Gilmore replacement at this point. Perhaps the Bills will see it your way and select a BPA, if he actually is at that point, rather than fill a need, but I doubt it. If that were the case, they would probably try to trade down.

I think the are several members of this board who might actually stroke out if this happened. I would hate it myself

You make a good point, but I would be very surprised if the Rams did not take Goff. It is all about the marketing for LA and Goff is a SOCal boy.

I hope they sign him. He is the very definition of mediocrity.

There was a thread on this at the time but this source is not at all credible. At least that seemed to the consensus at the time. I would not be surprised though if that very same article was the source for the tweet that has started this conversation anew. This is not at all true. It does pay, however, to have something intelligent to say besides "the Bills suck" as our young friend so boldly stated, in so many words.

I do not find what Rex said about Tyrod curious at all.

Since color blind people could not distinguish the teams on the field, I would hope not.

Does Jeff Fischer's offense even use a QB?

This could be the dumbest guy currently in the NFL. ( or nearly in the NFL anyway)

You certainly may be right.. Admittedly, I am no expert. Wentz certainly did not face the same level of competition which is a big question mark, but I like his mobility and competitiveness. Just a feeling, but I think he is Jim Kelly 2.0, with a bit of Big Ben mixed in. Goff strikes me as a bit soft. Totally my impressions, and not a fully reasoned scouting report. I would probably love to get my hands on either of them if I were the Bills management, as both have higher upside than Taylor.

I am with you, except I prefer Wentz. I think he is the real deal.

Je Right now the Jets do not have an NFL starting QB on their roster and have no cap room to sign one. Until then they are not a threat to anyone. The Dolphins have not really upgraded a roster that lost badly to the Bills twice last year, Perhaps better coaching will lead to improvement. All in all it is still too early to tell, including the Bills

I did not say that. I said I would not equate McCoy to Wolfe.

I would not be so sure about that. Your statement presupposes that NFL discipline is based on logic and continuity and not on what is in the best PR benefit of the league, or Rog Goodell, which of course are pretty much the same thing. The McCoy situation may be too juicy for Roger to ignore.

Unfortunately true. Goodwin would add a necessary dimension to this team if he could actually achieve his potential, but based on past history you would have to think not. This is especially true if he skips a major portion of training camp. He is definitely a player who needs all the work on his football skills he can get. I do not think he can be counted on for much.

These predictions at this point are hilarious. Just saying.

When a player announces he is prioritizing his personal Olympic goals over preparing for the season with his teammates, it is time to move on. If he was proven, maybe you would think differently, but Goodwin was a bubble player. I hope this rumor is true.

I agree with the writer on Hogan. He is a great fit for that system and an upgrade at receiver over Amendola. He could have a really big year. As for Chris Long, more of a stop gap measure as he clearly is a downgrade over Chandler Jones. They will draft somebody for that spot and hope Long can at least be serviceable in the short term.

No doubt it is about money. He was featured in the offense and before he was injured was putting up good numbers. I would take him back on the right deal as he adds a dimension they lack, but there is too much doubt about his ability to stay healthy to overspend on him. The money should be heavily weighted to games played and production. If someone is willing to give him a big guarnetee, and I sort of doubt it, see ya.

I had forgotten the Bills had the first choice in the 5th. Point taken.

In 2014 Marshall caught 61 passes for 721 yards and was set to make $7.5 m in 2015. His future was very much in doubt. The Jets traded a 5th round pick, which would have had to be a 4th round pick for buffalo, and increased his salary to $9 m in the process. I do not recall anyone clamoring to make this deal last year. It would have been a crapshoot. If I am mistaken, and you advocated this last year, please enlighten me. Otherwise, it is pure hindsight analysis and not very insightful.
