Our OC has not been putting our QB or WRs in positions to succeed. Our OL has not been giving our QB enough time to go through his progressions; as a result we have to leave our TEs and RBs back to block . Our WRs are dropping the passes thrown their way. Josh has been hit too much and doesn't trust that he has time to throw the ball.

They have the least cash of any team in the league, every week that passes they have to pay his 800k+ salary. The Raiders are not getting the 2nd they want and not retaining salary. Several online talking heads are saying the current offers out there are only 4s. Samuel is on this team til 2026 with the way his contract is structured. We cannot take on a 15M dead cap hit trading him this year.

We have ZERO weapons beyond Cook that are being used. Defenses key on Kincaid; Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel are not good WRs. It's a lot to ask a possession WR in Coleman to be the focus on the offense. We are in huge trouble this year.

Be prepared for the entire conversation tomorrow to be about the Commies and nothing about us... and I'm pretty good with that.

You're talking about a fan base that is used to not making it to the end goal and is frustrated because of the huge question marks going in to this season. Do I think our WR corps can be good? Sure. Am I confident in these guys and that they will come up clutch? I don't have an answer for that and I don't enjoy it. Will our safeties be any good? Maybe, but it's hard to have a pair that has great communication when they aren't even playing together now because of all the injuries. There will be a definite drop in S play quality, I think how much it will affect the wins and losses will be a big deal, especially in the division. Milano being out means I can't have confidence in the D as a whole because the LB who stepped up for us last year is not here anymore. We have some pretty big questions at LB, S, WR and if Josh misses any time you can just count those games as losses because we may as well not even have a QB2, Trubisky is awful and I cannot fathom why he's still on the team other than vibes; I haven't seen anything from the other 2 guys to say they could do anything in an NFL game. This year is more of a question mark than any in recent memory for me because I couldn't even tell you what this team is right now and that is disconcerting.

Glad this was a positive vid. I've been watching Kollmann's draft stuff for a bit and he's really good. I enjoyed their discussion about us trading back with KC and laughing that it didn't matter at all. The EPA discussion about the differences between Brady and Dorsey was probably the best thing in the video, I didn't understand how much EPA is affected by chunk plays from worse field position. Watching this makes it even more glaring how little "pro" sports commentators actually watch tape because they took several narratives that I kept hearing out there and pretty much just explained why they are wrong and how dumb it is to buy into them. Very encouraging video and presented by a Texans fan and a Bears fan so you can't blame positive things on homerism. If you're looking for Bills stuffs on youtube you can't go wrong with Bootleg Sports, Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast (Thompsett is the best cap guy on the Bills, Prohaska is pretty decent at film study), LockedOn Bills (Joe Marino founded the draftnetwork and then bounced, you may remember they used to be a decent website and went downhill, that's because he and another founder left to start the LockedOn Network). Their explanation explains the difference in the actual stat and your eyeballs should support the fact that we had a very inconsistent offense that was predicated on big plays in a boom or bust way for the first half of the season and then became much more consistent once we started running the ball regularly. The offense "found" itself when we started running and distributing the ball evenly and that happened when we changed coordinators.

He likes the Bills and the moves for the offseason. Good discussion on the difference in the offense between our OCs. Good discussion on the transformation of the WR room and the reasoning behind it.

I keep reading or watching opinions on our OC based solely on things like EPA. Brett is IMO one of the best analysts out there because he actually watches a TON of tape and isn't just talking head parroting the general narrative that people out there just keep repeating. Gets into the nuts and bolts of the team around the 12 min mark. I really enjoyed this and wanted to share this with you all.

This is the guy everyone wanted?

This is the best part of the video. When asked about how if he was ready to go up against NFL CBs "we're both here to do the same thing: make a play and kill one another."

I'm not going to say it's the best before they play. I liked the draft as a whole and didn't care we didn't double dip at WR. We drafted a top 3 rotational DT, perhaps a starting C, goal line RB, possible starting S and people are upset we didn't draft a WR4. This team is going to run the ball a LOT more this year and I'm happy with that. Our defense was in much worse shape than people on this board were talking about and we needed to upgrade at the positions we had strong needs at.

It's pretty much all due to arm-length. Short arms are actually not bad for a center but you need longer arms at Guard and even longer at T. Kromer thinks he can cross-train at G and he knows more than I ever will so I'm pretty happy with this pick. If he can start and do well at C we immediately upgrade LG as well.

Football is great. I still get sadder than I should when we lose and my immediate reactions to things that are ultimately unimportant in my life, like which 20 year old was picked to join the team that entertains me for a few hours on Sundays is something that can be frustrating. I'd like it if our team was better. I don't enjoy losing in the playoffs year after year, but the same goes for millions of people around the country every year so that's not unique. The team employs scouts, assistant GMs, security staff who research backgrounds, psychologists who are supposed to be able to tell if prospects have the mental makeup to be successful, coaches and a GM who spend exponentially more time thinking about the draft than anyone here no matter how much of a hobby it may be for some. I like to sign on here and talk about the Bills because it's fun. I would encourage those of us who somehow manage to spin out and have a breakdown here because the guy you got used to picking in mock draft simulators after watching a few highlight plays and a couple youtube videos from youtube creators to get a little perspective and remember that this is a crap shoot and for the most part most of the people picked in this draft will have unremarkable and relatively short careers. Whether a player is good or not in the league depends on myriad reasons: the coaching they receive, the system in place where they are drafted, the players around them and also their mental makeup and skill. A player may be successful on one team only to be quite poor in another system. It's not worth losing your mind on a message board and ripping other posters, hijacking threads making the draft less enjoyable for others and then going on tirades insulting the coach and GM for making the wrong informed-decision that clashes with your uninformed wishes. I appreciate this community, thanks for making this board a fun place to be, let's all try to be a little nicer to each other. End of rant.

Audric Estime no matter what

Yes, he's clearly unintelligent for not listening to the desires of a poster on a message board. You got it.

I absolutely LOVE this pick

WRs available for all you WR nuts Troy Franklin Oregon Roman Wilson Michigan Devontez Walker North Carolina Johnny Wilson Florida State Malik WashingtonWVirginia Javon Baker UCF Who I would take if he's there at 95 Austin Booker Dominic Puni Christian Mahogany Troy Franklin Brandon Dorlus

This is a very good pick

I like Dadrion Taylor-Demerson Malik Mustapha Cole Bishop

Michael Hall Javon Bullard Dadrion Taylor-Demerson Troy Franklin Malachi Corley Roman Wilson Cooper Beebe Kneeland Trey Benson For immediate need i think Beebe and Kneeland are good fits. Michael Hall is a monster

We pick at 60 and I posted this at 47

You said IOL and listed Tackles?

We could trade with Was at 53 with 2 5ths if we want to move up. Tons of good WRs out there, I could see us go D

Guys I like that I hope one of them is around when we pick Michael Hall Javon Bullard Dadrion Taylor-Demerson AD Mitchell Troy Franklin Malachi Corley Roman Wilson Cooper Beebe Kam Kitchens Trey Benson
