2 different people but JA was a bit of a gamble in 2018.

Miami is loading up picks to get a QB next year

Great post ✊

To your point, possibly Greg Mancz to fill Bates old role as a back up & your proposal of the OG’s still on the market. Their hesitancy to put a draft round tender smells like perhaps they thought they could up grade on Bates if push came to shove.

Well said, which brings us right back to why did they only do right of first refusal as opposed to draft pick comp. Here is where we see their perspective on this most clearly. Beane is thorough, you know he has other plans in place.

Also well reported that Terry Pegula was sky high on Mahomes.

Right on👊 I think you just captured a good part of the Bills FO mind set right there. Yeah, Well said, if they want Bates they will get creative.

I would be surprised if the Bills go higher than 5 or 5.5 million annually for Bates. They knew all of this might occur (heavily front loaded offer/ contract from another team). I doubt they are surprised.

There’s money to be “had” if they restructure Allen’s contract. Bates is reported to have elevated the communication on the O line as well as he is solid in pass pro. Run blocking maybe not so much. Now, we have Kromer on board. You’ve got to believe without tendering any draft pick comp on Bates that the Bills FO has a plan B, C & D in place. Right guard & CB are the 2 “red flags” right now. They let Wallace go, it does not appear that he “out priced” them. I’m sure there’s a plan B, C & D in place there as well. I always reserve the right to be wrong, however I’d find it hard to believe that Beane “throws mud at the wall & hopes that it sticks” when it comes to these areas of need. I know he wants to go BPA in the upcoming draft.

Perhaps because they had the ball in OT & we did not. 👍

Yes! Not so much of a run blocker. Kromer, Saffold suggest perhaps somewhat of a change in direction.

And we now have Kromer who is definitely one of the best

Good signing, Knox disappeared-a bit in our divisional game against the Chiefs. That had to be a bit of a disappointment for the coaching staff. 2 receptions @9yards

Well said; our defense is predicated/ designed on interior pressure so our DE’s can clean up. Phillips presents more interior pressure & strength moving opposing QB’s off their mark or line of sight & opening up opportunities for our DE’s

Yes! Hope it’s official soon

Yes! start in the trenches.

Leodis 🙃

That’s a really good point, still get the size, speed & power we need 👍 Good additional information on the pass blocking 👍

Breece Hall; 6 foot 1 inch 220 pounds with 4.39 speed

Really good thought 👍

I’m thinking Gunner nailed it. In Beans hour long presser recently, he talks about making our strength stronger. If Williams is there right before the Pats pick, I’m just not certain the Bills trade down.

Doesn’t seem likely but 6foot 1 inch 220 pound Breece Hall, runs a 4.39 40.

Second half of the Bucs game. If we get PI on Diggs it’s over

Great points, especially the $ part to even begin to support this type of move. Our D line gets a high amount of pressure, if we were able to get someone a step quicker to the QB, perhaps like ZaDarius Smith (Green Bay way over their cap limit after this year) although he had a back injury this season, our D would be very tough to play against. It’s like that final crack that breaks the dam open.
