Can you imagine Josh with one or two high quality receivers? The WR room is average at best at the moment.

Because Josh carries the offense. Would be nice if he had some support.

Though they drained the clock before choosing him.

I don't think the Bills will draft him at 30, even if he does.

It looked like the ceiling was coming down (or the floor rising) in the Bears draft room.

Never. For your own sanity, never.

It's why I don't get the Titans pick. Go for Hunter or Carter, give Levis one more go and, if they crash, they have a better option for QB next year.

It's the Panthers so think we all know the answer to that one.

Commercial breaks before each of the AFC East teams pick so far. Though there's quite a gap between the Fins and the Bills.

To me, it felt like he'd forgotten which team had drafted him.

Hunter hadn't spoken to the Jags outside of combine. Seems unusual?

I don't get the (presumed) Ward pick. I guess the Titans might look to trade Levis away but I think going after Hunter or Carter would be a better bet for them.

A few surprises tonight - what, like the Titans pick after two minutes rather than nine and a half? Let's HEAR from some Packers greats? What is this, a wedding breakfast? Get on with it.

Here we go... prepared for a repeat of last year where I sit up all night only for the Bills to trade out just before the pick.

Exactly why I think the Bills should at least take a look. Maybe it's time to loosen the shackles on the "locker room culture" and purely judge players for what they can do on the field. It's hardly hurt the Chiefs.

To be honest, I’d be really satisfied with the Bills FA moves of it weren’t for the six game bans. That’s a stupid thing to have to manage, especially when Beane knew about one and agreed to the other contract after finding out. And it would be nice to give Josh a class WR. Someone who will stand up and be counted when required. The Be gals have given Burrow that and then some, as long as he has time to throw the ball to them.

Isn't that what most are saying? Burrow gets quality receiver's whilst Josh, in general, deals with second tier players. For all the pot shots at the Bengals defense, the Bills haven't been much better in the post season. The plus side is the Bills O Line is in much better shape than the Bengals'.

Were the Bills in a position where they had to sign Hoecht and Ogunjobi? They picked up the former even though they knew about the six game ban, and then went ahead and agreed a deal with Ogunjobi even when finding out the news. Are there so few options available? Was Beane so tied in with the wage structure he didn't want to move elsewhere? Talk about putting the defense on the backfoot before the draft.

Would have preferred them to bring Gilmore back to be honest. I guess Jackson is six years younger but for what he brings... in fairness, the CB options in free agency were limited.

I was just about to reply and say the same thing. The Chiefs traded up at least partially because they knew the gap in the Bills roster and they could be after McDuffie. If it wasn't so clear who the Bills would be looking at, would they have made the move? Or thought the Bills may have gone elsewhere so stayed put, or at moved up the draft but stayed behind the Bills? Who knows - but it was obvious which position the Bills were after and other teams could act accordingly.

Is there much of a difference to a RB whether a deal is at $12m or $15m? Of course, this is assuming the Bills have offered as much as 12 - or anything at all. 10 and below I can understand the hold out. Above? Not so sure. Part of this might be to do with the Bills publicly acknowledging how important he is to the team. 15 would be an outward sign of that; a lot less, not so much.

I highly doubt it was his intention but Josh's "What's an extra five..." comment could be applied go Cook. What's an extra three? Team friendly or player friendly? Albeit with the caveat Josh's career earnings obviously exceed Cook's.

Didn't that account come up with something really random recently which ended up being untrue?

@Draconator posted this one earlier. https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1899175259690918338 Broncos and Talanoa Hufanga have agreed to a 3-year contract worth up to $45 million, including $20 million guaranteed at signing. Deal negotiated by @EquitySports CEO Chris Cabott.

I haven't seen Von Miller mentioned yet. I wonder if the Bills are trying to work out a team friendly deal. I'm hoping it's because someone else, who is decent, is lined up.
