I agree the draft is a crapshoot, but players coming off a down year who have been dinged up too are not a sure thing either. Ertz also comes at a cap premium.
Shaun Wade, Haseem Nasirildeen, Trill Williams, Tyler Shelvin, Alim McNeil, plenty of quality OL still left in the rd. A big nickel, CB2 or a quality 1 tech would be an instant upgrade.
There is 1 good TE in this draft and then a pretty good one, the rest are not anything to depend on. That said, Ertz is not worth anything above a 4th and we don't have one, so it should be 5th or nothing.
Not what I was referring to. I thought I remembered him taking shots at the city of Buffalo, but I can't find the interview so I withdrew the comment. I don't have a problem with people who don't take an offer we send them
I honestly don't understand how he's a Bills fan. He only seems to have positive things to say about other teams. Of course I can only piece that together now from people quoting him, I've had him on ignore for a while.
If so, he's not very smart. His value is at an all-time low because of the injury. He has to prove he can still play. Neck injuries can end a career. I don't see a team offering him 15M+ on a multi-year deal only to have him be forced to retire. I don't want another Wood situation.
I may be wrong, couldn't find the comments when I searched. I do know he made some comments this offseason that sounded like a veiled shot at Diggs though.
I'll save you all the time.
"We believe in drafting, developing and re-signing our players and I think we proved that to our fans and our team."
"I think it send a powerful message to the locker room when they look around and see that these guys who have been working hard get rewarded for their efforts."
"We have to put ourselves in the best position to win now and win in the future."
"Our priority was always going to be keeping our own guys in the building."
"We're always looking to improve at any position."
"Free agency isn't over and we still have the draft."
There you go. All done.
I like Wallace and Johnson a lot. That said, I'd also like to upgrade CB2 and get a big nickel to help us cover TEs for when the Pats spend all day in 12 personnel
