Yikes. Well that confirms why he's not at OTAs.

Because its voluntary in name only. You are expected to be there. To quote Vrabel: “I write a letter voluntarily to the players to make sure that they voluntarily read it and voluntarily show up.”

Claude is the undisputed champion of writing. ChatGPT is great at data analysis. And Grok is best at the sciences.

15th is higher than I expected to be. And better than I deserve.

Benford is awesome. But he doesn’t excuse missing so badly on a 1st rounder.

Bills came in at #8 over the past half decade. Lions were #1 and Chiefs were #2. 8. Buffalo Bills (8.46) Top 50 picks: 4 Pro Bowls: 1 Starting seasons: 33 Best pick: edge Gregory Rousseau (No. 30, 2021); Worst pick: CB Kaiir Elam (No. 23, 2022); Best value: WR Khalil Shakir (No. 148, 2022) Like the Chiefs, the Bills have done a terrific job maxing out the draft, despite spending most of the last five years near the bottom of the first round. The Elam miss hurts, but picks such as Shakir, James Cook, O’Cyrus Torrence and Spencer Brown have been huge — and a testament to Buffalo’s scouting department. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6284249/2025/04/20/nfl-draft-power-rankings-lions-chiefs-ravens/

He must have looked realllyyy bad in practice. McD knows what he is doing when it comes to CB's.

If you don't see a troubling trend here, I don't know what to tell ya. In contract the NFL is the highest it has ever been. The 2% loss was merely just people switching to digital.

People still go to espn.com?

That's just attendance to games. Aka a drop in the revenue bucket. The real money is in TV. And NBA ratings have been tanking for a while now. https://sports.yahoo.com/why-nba-ratings-down-big-141500434.html https://www.si.com/onsi/ball-around/news/nba-ratings-continue-to-drop-former-players-and-fans-give-eye-opening-reasons-why-01jdd7rz8c8q

I fear i'll never get to experience pee-steam again.

That's because our #1 CB exited the game after the first series. Injuries can derail any position. With our full stable of average CB's we held KC to 20 points in the reg season. Don't get me wrong - i understand where you're coming from. And its not that I think having capable CB's is a bad thing. I just don't think they are SB changers. I dont think adding a top 10 CB to last years roster would have made one iota of difference in winning the SB. Jmo. Adding a top 10 pass rusher/d-linemen (for example) and I think we are representing the AFC last year.

Apologies if I was not clear enough. I would be deeply disappointed in the *position*. Not the player. Unless the next Revis is there for us to pick, I simply do not see value in CB's in the first round. Ever. Not only do we have a CB savant as head coach, who has turned crap into lemonade, but CB's simply do not move the Super Bowl needle in my opinion. I want positions that move the SB needle. Positions that have the potential to get us over the top. D-linemen - by nature of their ability to completely take over a game if you get the right one - is an example. Even if you draft a top 10 CB, they are not going to take over a game and get you over the hump. They'll solidify your backfield - but im looking for more than that.

I will be so deeply disappointed if we take a CB. I get that its a need... but come on. I cant think of a single team ever that won SB's because they had that one amazing CB.| Give me a game wrecking d-linemen. Any of those available in this draft (I haven't been paying attention)?

We could tag him for another year. 1 year, 11-13 mill.

I get what youre saying, but I dont think so. This is the last season ever at the stadium. Every game played will be one game closer to its demise. I'm actually fairly emotional about the whole thing - and I dont become emotional over much. This is a stadium I 'grew up' in (so to speak). Every home Bills memory I have, took place in that stadium. AFC Championship games, Jimbo and Bruuuuuuce, and Reed, and the comeback, and Marv, and Van Miller (damn I miss him). So many core memories in that crumbling concrete for so many people.

Also something to be said about coming back to a system that Tre knows, is comfortable with, and has succeeded in. Meaning, if he is going to succeed anywhere at this stage in his career, Buffalo is his most likely chance.

Nope. It stays. We owe his dead cap + his new cap.

I did not watch him last season, so I have no idea how he did. But I just went to the Rams forum to read comments about how he did last season and they are not good. These are comments made DURING the season:

I remember during the drought someone did an analysis that showed we would have had far more success picking quality players if we just followed kiper/mcshays draft board from TV, rather than the GMs of those eras.

If you can’t count on your GM to make the right pick, it doesn’t matter if you’re picking 5th or 50th. Wherever you pick, you need to have a guy that can evaluate talent. And the fact that Beane was never a true scout is telling (imo).

Trading with KC again would make me contemplate my fanhood.

I do agree with you that he probably worked very hard

I’m sure he did work hard. I’m sure he ran as fast as he could, and lifted a lot of weights, and participated to the best of his ability. I mean, his stupid head coach says that he wasn’t very good and his d coordinator said they didn’t want him and all the players say he was a players-coach, but… they’re stupid anyway, right? We of course know that your opinion matters more!
