My fault, I thought Beane signed the safety duo. His FA record is even less impressive then.

Doesn’t surprise me the Bills aren’t in on Wagner according to this report. With TBD favorites like TJ Watt and Ertz going elsewhere last season, it doesn’t seem like Beane is enamored by the splashy names. His splashiest signing, Micah Hyde, who wasn’t even an every down player in GB, was half a decade ago.

Could happen, but it’s entirely up to Cody Ford and what he decides to do in the off-season. If he’s serious about his career he’ll check into one of those OL academies and then show up in the best shape of his life. Nothing so far has shown he’s that type of guy though, besides words.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t know in that article, but thanks for posting. One day, years into the future when the team looks decidedly different, maybe those who do know will speak.

If Edmunds were to be traded, I wouldn’t care if it was in the AFC or NFC, he wouldn’t worry me all that much as an opposing defender. And if there was ever a scenario in which Josh needed a yard or two for a first down and Edmunds was the obstacle towards getting that yardage, I’d be willing to bet any amount of money that Josh picks up that first down at least 7/10 times.

If Beane is worth his salt as a GM, he will trade Edmunds before the 2nd contract becomes necessary. Eager to see what happens.

But Snyder and his crew know more than all of us, right? We’re just randos on a message board. I’m sure it’ll work out as great as the knowledgeable Colts giving up a 1st round pick the year prior. NFL GMs, including Beane, can’t be questioned, or so I heard that here…

This sort of ineptitude used to be us, the Bills.

Those wanting DE Jermaine Johnson or one of the marquee RBs would be disappointed by that list. Great to see so many interior OL players though.

About 60 air yards from the 25 to the 15, then bounces down to the 1. I’d take him with a 5th rounder at the earliest, maaaybe in the 4th if someone isn’t there that I like, but this draft is all about depth at skill positions, so that’s unlikely. It’s also likely he’ll either go in the 3rd or 4th.

“Legal tampering” begins Monday the 14th.

He’s not a precise route runner is what you mean, nor does he have the feet of a Stefon Diggs, but when you run a 4.28 forty, you can simply run away from defenders. You can beat them physically where others try to win technically.

McKenzie in that sit down interview days after the game said he honestly didn’t know what happened. Said he tried to find out because he’s the gossip king on the roster or something like that, but was running into dead ends. It’s very likely he’s one of Dunne’s sources and it’s also likely STers didn’t know the defensive play calls and vice versa, so no players are entirely aware what happened - unless, possibly, if they were on the kickoff coverage and played those last two defensive plays. And those are the guys that aren’t talking.

It is weird that hand size doesn’t always correlate to height. Michael Jordan, while standing “only” 6’6” has 11.4” hands that check in on the top 10 list of largest hands in NBA history. Even the smaller NBA guards like Stockton, Paul, and especially Rondo have freakishly large hands. Sports-wise, it’s a genetic blessing if you can get them!

I don’t know, I feel it’d be more damning to the FO if Linderbaum was picked at #25. He’s a smaller guy, can he play guard? A year earlier they didn’t have a high enough grade on Humphrey to take him at the back of round 2 - Beane admitted an offer to move back was on the table if Basham wasn’t there - but a year later they’d select arguably an inferior center a round earlier? Remember, Humphrey is a huge guy and had a 9.9 RAS. He was everything the Bills should’ve been looking for at that pick and their evaluations failed them.

Which is why it was crazy to hear some posters regarded the position as a “want” rather than a “need.” Boundary CB absolutely needs added talent. By the way, Beane is a much better interview than McD. He will tell you things if you listen hard enough, while McD is like a fortress, he doesn’t give you anything but what you probably expect to hear.

This is true. Despite picking 30th, if Beane somehow lucked into the “All Hindsight Draft” I recorded above, the class would’ve been regarded as arguably the NFL’s best draft class in at least a decade. Who you pick will always matter more than where you pick.

Rousseau was more impactful as a run defender, yes, but I want pass rush and Oweh was at one point in contention for DROY. He was second amongst all rookies in QB pressures with 47 (Micah Parsons - 59) and made numerous All rookie first teams, including PFWA, Pro Football Writer’s of America. For comparisons sake Rousseau finished the regular season with 26 pressures. Maybe Rousseau develops into a better pass rusher over time, but for now, I’ll stay with the freakish athlete in a redraft.

Can’t remember where I heard it, but the Bills had a first round grade on Cody Ford and when he made it to the 2nd, they were calling the Cardinals and Colts trying to get ahead of the tackle needy teams. When they were leapfrogged by Carolina they were bummed because they thought the Panthers were going with Ford. One thing this regime has yet to prove is that they can properly evaluate OL talent. Hopefully that was a Bobby Johnson issue that Kromer can correct.

I’m not sure how they measure win rate, but I can bet a “win” is not when a player runs 5 yards past the QB, thereby taking himself out of the play 😂 But yes, the DL needs more talent.

I don’t disagree, the post was in response to someone who said we never get pressure rushing four. The one thing the DL needs is a finisher. Doesn’t matter if you get the QB off his spot if he can still turn it into a positive play. I think he lacks the strength, physicality, and aggression needed to rush the passer. If he comes unimpeded to the QB he can get there quickly, but the same can be said for the majority of defenders in the NFL. If he has to beat a block, forget it. When your monster-sized MLB can be handled relatively easy by RBs and TEs, he’s not a threat to get to the QB.

Here’s your 2021 All-Hindsight Draft: Round 1, #30: DE Odafe Oweh (4.37 40 yd dash helps to chase down the likes of Mahomes) Round 2, #61: C Creed Humphrey Round 3, #93: OT Spencer Brown Round 5, #161: RB Elijah Mitchell Round 6, #203: WR Marquez Stevenson Round 6, #212: S Damar Hamlin Round 6, #213: OG Trey Smith Round 7, #236: CB Jerry Jacobs

He was Spencer Brown’s college teammate, right? Don’t know if that’s the case since Spencer sat out a year, but if so, he has all the inside intel the Bills could want.

I remember wanting Rosen because I thought he had the highest skillset of the four and wasn’t all potential like Allen, who I thought was a QB who had struggled against every Power 5 program. My comment was “it’s like having JP Losman and Aaron Rodgers in the same draft and we go for Losman.” 😂

That was an odd little kick by Hunt. I remember thinking that when I saw it years ago. Couldn’t understand why he did it because the intention behind it certainly wasn’t to injure or hurt the woman. As for slapping her around, maybe I missed that part too. I did see him bulldoze some guy into her, which was the worst part of the video. Whether he did it intentionally or not, I have no idea. But when I hear “brutally beat” a woman, I think of Ray Rice, or that newest case, Zac Stacy. Those videos are disturbing, this one wasn’t close to that level. Hunt’s actions still weren’t cool, but it wasn’t quite what it was portrayed to be.
