Isaiah Bond’s prank call was captured on video by the prankster: Isaiah Bond prank call

Don’t disagree at all with what he said. It doesn’t matter how you get it done on offense, or how you score, if you set team records on that side of the ball, but have a defense that continues to bring the squad down year after year, shore up that defense. Would we like an alpha #1 receiver for Josh? Sure. But that guy likely wasn’t available in the 3rd+ round anyway. Or maybe he was, time will tell. I’m more than happy with the draft’s focus on defense. Most of you overlook the fact that a better defense (I’m not talking about a #1 overall that consistently folds) will directly help Josh and the offense as well.

I absolutely LOVE the DL and secondary makeover, just gotta hope the picks hit and totally revamp the defense.

I remember one goal line stop against the Titans I believe that was impressive, but not much else outside of that play. Rooting for him to step up, we need him.

It’s pretty foolish to write a draft pick off after one season, but Carter gives me Boogie Basham vibes. I don’t see anything he does particularly well, no overwhelming power, size, or athleticism. He’ll have to step it up for sure if these draft picks come in balling.

Sign me up for the best secondary player left at the next pick, one with speed. Don’t care if he’s a S or CB, secondary still needs more attention. I’d go there before WR if the prospects have relatively equal grades.

Benford’s dog was the size of a horse. Dalmatian?

How about the trade up for Elam? Kincaid? Knox? Edmunds? Cody Ford? In general I support trading up for a QB you believe in, without a franchise QB you can’t compete for championships in the NFL. But trading up for other positions that may or may not work out? No thanks. Just because you sacrifice multiple picks for a player doesn’t make that player the right guy.

I’m not a fan of burning premium picks to trade up. It’s not where you select a player, it’s who you select. Watt went at the end of the first round, Chris Jones was in the 2nd, Hendrickson was a 3rd rounder, etc. Trading up guarantees nothing and if it’s a miss, you just compounded the problem by giving up the chance to draft another difference maker. We’ve gotta get the pick right. Beane has had his chances at additional blue chip players.

Henry’s without question drastically underpaid and was the 2nd biggest offensive threat that teams had to worry about. Not Mark Andrews, not their diminutive first round receiver who got paid. If I was Henry’s camp I’d def seek a bigger contract, even if it’s incentive laced given his age.

Maybe the Bills want him at $12M/yr and Cook is steadfast at that $15M/yr figure, especially after Barkley reset the market. If the two parties want to move on from one another, I hope it happens before or during the first two rounds of the draft so we can choose his replacement.

I would have liked for them to move the kickoff back 5 yards rather than move the touchback up by 5. We all want more returns, but that’s a more than generous start.

Does sound like they’re bracing to take a QB.

The fact the Bills didn’t deem him worthy of their practice squad or further development after signing him to a 3 year deal was wild.

It’s the twitchiness that leaves athletes, the “quicks,” not so much straight line speed. Speed and strength carry well into the 30s if injuries haven’t broken the body down.

He sacrificed a 4th round pick to move up for Knox, sacrificed a 4th for Elam, and a 4th for Kincaid. Think he sacrificed a 4th for Cody Ford too, either that or a 5th. Tried to sacrifice a 3rd for Bishop last year too but teams weren’t taking his call. My complaint has been that Beane trades up too much. Of course I wouldn’t be saying that if he had hit on at least one other blue chip player. As such, I’d rather sit pat or trade down and accumulate more ammo.

A) Would Christian Benford fetch a 1st round draft pick? B) If a team offered a first rounder, would you want the Bills to take it?

I’m in the further minority because I’m not giving any one WR $40M/yr. I don’t care who it is. I’d rather trade Chase for a bounty and fortify both lines of scrimmage.

I got the feeling the two sides aren’t all that close. I expect an infusion of youth and speed in the secondary during the draft, let’s hope the newcomers can play.

Q: Who wins in a footrace between Hamlin, Douglas, Rapp, and Coleman? A: The turtle

I wanted to move on from both Hamlin and Douglas so we wouldn’t have any more 4.6 DBs in the secondary. That unit needs an infusion of youth and SPEED.

I didn’t realize the number one DT in run stop win rate, Tedarrell Slaton, signed with the Bengals on a 2 year $15M deal. I thought he was still unsigned. A 6’4 330lb run stopping behemoth is exactly what this DL needed.

A veteran, WR John Brown, said the same when he came back after his injury. He had to find the confidence he had before he was injured because the offense was moving well without him. He had to find where he fit in again. I will echo that Keon’s hunger seemed A LOT less post injury. Almost like he was going through the motions versus actively trying to make a name for himself. You can’t teach effort or heart, so while he was upset that he was no longer as big a part of the offense as he was, he still had to make the most of the opportunities that did come his way and he didn’t do that.

Bills probably wanted him back on something close to a vet minimum deal.

Trent Murphy-like signing? Just a rotational piece, nothing more. Him and Epenesa are tied for DE3. EDIT: sounds more like an athletic Lorenzo Alexander type. Went from a 310 DT to a full time outside LB. Most likely still DE3 in the Bills scheme.
