A full rebuild? No. But there's a wild amount of moving parts and new faces to expect everything to gel and have continuity right off the bat and not miss a beat.

It would have to be done after 6/1 and require some restructuring. We've got maybe 4.5m right now and half of that will probably go to Draft Picks. Right now it isn't feasible without going over by a fair amount.

Yeah, I mean, if they hurled personal insults at someone - they've definitely got it coming even more. I've been taking my medicine and liking it today and I never got personal with anyone.

I really hope I'm wrong (and good news there, i've been doing a lot of that lately!) - I just don't see Arizona or the Giants passing on generational talents at a position of need for them. Now more than ever, Thomas is in play. Especially with the added ammo from the Diggs trade. Maybe an outside chance that Odunze falls a couple picks and we're able to get to like 9 or 10 or something. But when it comes to Harrison and Nabers, I just don't see them giving up not only them - but even guys like BTJ and possibly Mitchell as well, moving all the way to 28. I think for this to happen, it would need to be like a Josh trade was. We'd need to move up to like the 10-15 range before the Draft and then move up again from there.

My question after everything we've done this offseason and now in moving Diggs.... Why did we keep McDermott? Let me preface it by saying I wasn't out for his blood after this season. If he stayed or went, I wasn't going to lose any sleep. But many felt this was a make or break season for him. Then they did about as big of a soft rebuild of the team as you can do while still having a Franchise QB in place. Even with a potentially better roster on paper, there's now *SO MANY* moving parts this season that it almost feels like a built in excuse or expected that we don't take the next step. I feel like if we were going to do this much overhaul to the roster - this year would have been a good time to make the change at Head Coach too.

Oh trust me, I know i'm eating crow today. I've mentioned it a couple times already in other threads.

That's the old Jimmy Johnson model. It's out of date. Belichick called it out of date 5 years ago (https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/bill-belichick-every-team-uses-the-same-draft-chart) Beane on McAfee mentioned there's more modern charts than that one. I tend to go off the Rich Hill model. They even say on that very page that it's more reflective of trades in modern years than that chart is: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp I'd also add there's variables outside of the chart that determines price. When it's a less talented Draft, prices are lower. When there's an all time talent at play, the price is more.

Chowing down on crow like

When you're coming out with bangers like "Revolutionize the Kicking Game" - I can see why you'd want to try to get people to laugh at others.

Buffalo Fanatics Writers Mock Drafts: 3 for Adonai Mitchell, 3 for Xavier Legette https://thebuffalofanatics.com/2024-buffalo-fanatics-writers-mock-draft-round-4/amp/

From the sounds of the article I posted above your post, it definitely seems to me that's what happened

Again, I disagree with the concept of mid to late Round 2 for Legette. You don't get that kind of size and speed often and it's not littered all over the Draft. Lately, he's been climbing the boards when it comes to the experts. RIght now, I would be extremely surprised if he falls any later than the 35-40 range.

This is pretty much where I'm at. I'm way more annoyed by the absolute psychosis that follows one of his tweets than the tweets themselves.

Not a fan of Shady's talk show, I take it?

I don't like the sound of needing a clean up and restoration crew in the matter of a death with no foul play 😞 https://nypost.com/2024/04/02/sports/emotional-911-call-reveals-more-about-vontae-davis-final-moments/

And there it is! Like clockwork.

If only Josh had spoken publicly about his feelings on Diggs recently:

Of course you do. You take great joy and run here the first chance you can when it comes to anything you read as a potential reason to trade Diggs for Draft Picks this year - as if getting people to agree that we should will make it more likely to happen. It's been your mission for months, posting about it across multiple threads on the daily. Did I re-word? I thought I just added a section at the end, after he edited his post with another tweet. Like I said, I think he needs to just ignore randos on Twitter. He seems to be overly sensitive to people saying he's overrated or toast. It's not a great look. I'll admit that. He's coming across as insecure. But I see it as more of the same defending himself against people who say he's not important (or "essential") to Josh or overrated than outwardly declaring he's responsible for Josh's success.

The theme of every single one of his posts lately is clapping back at people saying he's overrated or toast. He seems to be pretty motivated to prove doubters wrong. He's been posting training videos on his Insta Story daily. Probably should just ignore them. He's looking a little thin skinned right now. But I don't take him saying he feels it's incorrect to say he's not important to Josh's success as some major "not cool" slap in the face.

He's far from the only Bills reporter that feels this way. If you watch One Bills Live, he's the favorite of both Chris Brown and Steve Tasker at 28. The Bills Guys at Cover 1 did their first full Round 1 Mock for every team and took Legette with Mitchell, Worthy, McConkey, Coleman and Franklin still on the board: As we get closer to the Draft and coming off the Combine, he is rising more and more. Good chance that's from hearing things from teams. He was picked at 29 in Mel Kiper's latest Mock. This idea that he's a 2nd Round prospect that we can probably get at 60 or in a small trade up and we can afford to wait on him doesn't seem to be based in reality, in my opinion. The feeling I'm getting right now from people is that the first 3 guys are gone by Pick 8. That Thomas is going to go higher than expected and that Mitchell is closer to him in league circles than people expect. Both will most likely also be gone by the time we pick. If he's the guy Beane likes, he should take him at 28 and shouldn't try and get cute about it. Coming off his measurements and performance at the Combine and the type of WR he is, I think his current value is a Late 1st to Early 2nd Round as the Floor type of guy. It's no guarantee he'll be there in a Trade Down and I don't think we'll be able to Trade Up from 60 far enough to still get him.

The Lamborghini was a rental. Signed a lease agreement stating only he could drive it. He's reported to have sent a text to the leasing company shortly after the crash, admitting he was involved and offering to pay for the Lambo. Yikes. https://www.tmz.com/2024/04/02/rashee-rice-admit-drive-lamborghini-dallas-car-crash/

Wow. I like McMillan, but WR6? Mitchell as WR11? And I'm down on Troy Franklin too, I have him as WR10, but WR15? I guess it just goes to show how deep this class is and how similarly graded a lot of them are. One guy's WR4 can be another guy's WR15. Though I sometimes can't help but wonder if certain experts are basing their rankings on being contrarion for the sake of being contrarion and/or hoping that someone they rank much higher than others hits so they can look like a genius in hindsight.

It's not anywhere near as crazy as you'd think. There's only 4 QB's considered Top Half of Round 1 prospects. I've heard it wondered by some if McCarthy's climb as of late isn't as real in league circles as it seems from experts, ala "Will Levis could go #1" last season. Though I do believe he still goes Top 12. But Penix and Nix are looked at as fringe 1st Round Picks and it wouldn't shock me in the least if they weren't selected Day 1. Selecting one of them at 12 would be way more of a need pick than a value pick. And we've seen of late that even QB needy teams would rather wait than overdraft a QB in Round 1. On the flip side, i've been noticing BTJ going higher and higher in mocks lately. I don't know if that's Post Combine excitement from experts or people hearing things. But it's really not uncommon to see him in the 12-15 range of late. 4 QB's and 4 WR's in the top 12 isn't insane this year. Especially when you consider it's almost a given that most feel 4 QB's and 3 WR's are expected to go in the top 7-10 picks.

I had a feeling. It felt very Poyer-esque. We reportedly had an offer on the table for him and I'm sure others did as well, but he kept on touring and not signing any offers. Which led me to believe he had a deal from the Colts he was sitting on and it wasn't being topped.

Fair. I assumed that this was a thread about both, considering the OP included a Bills mock and discussion has been about players like James Williams' connection to the Bills and the post I was replying to talked about the possibility of him and Josh together.
