    Feels like Beane kinda bungled this going back to 2022. Should've given a higher rd tender to Bates, but didn't. Then when the Bears offer sheeted him we matched it. We paid a lot for 2 seasons from a backup O-line and now we're eating 4mm deadcap for a depth guy. At least we got a 5th rd pick I guess. 

    If we took on injuries on the line, we would be very thankful that being actually did this and gave us a quality back up stop bitching

    And play who at guard? Morse is glass at this point and gets easily bull rushed by quality DTs, which we see in the playoffs

     

     

    Edward is still in play
    And I think they really like Alec Anderson

    Ahh the ole McDermott philosophy of someone being too valuable to let play, gotta love it.   I don’t like seeing him go, but if doofus won’t play him, you can’t pay him.

    Do you ever have anything good to say ever

  4. I know this is after the fact that I have been thinking about this for a while, if they might pull the trigger here

     

    I wonder if they do a full court press on keeping Edwards

     

    By the way, I’m a  Bates fan sorry to see him go I wish him the best of luck

    Generally the posters with the most hostility are the leftists, see billstime, Joe Ferguson hawk or whatever. You seem a bit upset as well.

    Not upset at all
    And I just find it interesting how the right just ignores some of the things that their own people do to people on this board

    Other people to take it and be restrained ***** that

    What does that have to do with anything? It's a simple question I posed - was it too hard for you?

     

    BTW, that would be the other available lefty tactic - shift the goalposts when the discussion point becomes uncomfortable. Which is an addendum to the "the truth hurts" principle.

    Because I see the same thing from people on the right every time I go after somebody on this board for being a dick to me
     

    I am not just gonna sit there and be somebody’s punching bag

     

    And by the way, if you don’t like it tough *****

     

    buckle up buttercup. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

    I dont get the Worthy love.  Why cuz he ran in no pads in a straight line really fast?  There are big WR's running blazing sub 4.4 fortys this year, its insane.  Yet people are enamored with a stick figure who weighs as much as my 10 month old son in Worthy?  For me, he is the classic overdrafted guy because he wowed in the 40.  Cannot fathom how a guy who is 6'1" but only weighs 165 pounds after a huge meal is supposed to hold up to WR1 type volume in the NFL.  

     

    He is nothing compared to Tyreek Hill despite seeing so many people comparing them.  They are both fast, thats it.  Hill is tank for his size and is maybe the best deep ball tracker of his generation and a rare case of someone with the ups and strength to play a foot taller than he is.  Meanwhile, the wind in Buffalo might blow him off his route lol.  

     

     

    What makes you so sure Leggette is an improvement over Gabe Davis?  Because is 40 time is faster?  Im not saying Leggette is a bad prospect, but the negatives/concerns on Leggette are all still there after running fast at his combine.  Poor footwork, lack of acceleration and burst off the line to gain separation, is more of a strider so takes a while to get up to his top speed and lacks short area explosion, etc.  I mean if I was to write down all the issues with Gabe Davis I would write all those verbatim.  

     

    Doesn't mean Leggette cant put those concerns to rest and improve on them, but at pick 28 this team needs a WR who is a threat at all 3 levels of the defense, someone who can replace Diggs at some point as WR1.  

     

    At 28...If I am Beane, I am all about getting Thomas or Mitchell as the top 2 priorities, and willing to make a small trade up to get one.  If the trade up doesn't work out, and both are gone, I would take McConkey or make a small trade back and pick up an extra 3rd where I can still take a WR after the trade down and have an extra 3rd to double up on another WR that slips in this deep draft or even package with another one of our picks to move back up and get another one.  '

     

    If we traded down say within 10 spots:  Could still potentially land McConkey (although I seriously doubt he gets past KC), Legette, Pearsall (crushed his combine and moved himself up in the draft), or someone like Franklin or Coleman who likely slide a little bit after a few disappointing drills at the combine.  

     

    With two 2nd's and two 3rds, we could take 2 WR's in those 4 picks with great value and still grab someone for the DL and the secondary.  

     

    As I said in another post, my way too early prediction:  Bills make a small move up to land one of Thomas or Mitchell.  After the combine, I really feel like these two guys grade out very closely to the big 3 and are true WR1, attack all 3 levels of the defense, type prospects.  Armed with 10 picks, I think Beane is willing to pull the trigger to get one if need be.  

     

    Furthermore, with the cap suprisingly higher than anticipated, I think Beane might be a little more aggressive in terms of filling holes in FA...not high priced spending...but filling enough holes so that he can use some of his draft picks to move around the draft to get the young talent he is targeting and not hit the draft feeling like he cant spare the picks to fill holes.

    Who is to say that any of these wide receivers are better better than Gabe Davis
     

    He seems to fit the traits that we are losing with Gabe. He’s a little faster seems to have a little bit better ball skills.

    I think they should be open to OL all the way through. Even if they keep Morse this year, looking to 2025 he is surely gone. So that brings IOL into play (McGovern could slide to center if you draft a guard or stay where he is if you draft a center) and avoids the situation we are in with safety now where your vet ages out and the cupboard is bare in terms of in house options. At OT Dion had an excellent season in 2023 but you and I have talked many times about his body type gets harder to manage with every passing year as he hits his 30s. Brown is a UFA after the season. I suspect they are leaning towards an extension but it would be nice to have a young tackle in the building as insurance for that not working out.

    Like cornerback, we should take an offensive lineman every year

    Are you sure you don't have two "screen handles"?  BillsTime, is that you??  You forgot to say "racist".  Well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad.  You can have your participation trophy.  You guys need to change your ad hominem script.  The same words repeat too often. :nana:

    Yes, Bill’s time and I are the same person

    Corley was invited. I haven't seen any verified reports about why he didn't do anything, but some random people on Twitter were replying to some of the questions about him saying that he caught Covid.

    I question that Corley is not a fit. He seems like he would be in the new coordinat offense

     

    I want to double dip at wide receiver, and he seems like a good candidate

    I agree.  But did you feel that way when it happened to Trump? Twice?

    Just remember on one of those impeachments the Republicans were saying that their vote might’ve been different. Had he not been leaving office They left it to judicial system

     

    Now the judicial system is doing its thing

    To be:

     

    Worse

    Better 

    About the Same

     

    Arguments for worse:

    Losing key players can't afford to keep

    Most of D line free agents

    May have cap casualties 

    Cap hell..cant pick up any real impact players

    Drafting low each round..Best talent already off the board

     

    Argument for Better:

    Lots of key positions already locked up like O-line..can target areas of need.

    Bills may get discount from some players in free agency as they are a contender

    Trust Beanes scouting to pick up talent at a discount...see:Poyer/Hyde

    Good depth in WRs in the draft. many gems may be available in middle rounds.

    Beane may swing the surprise trade to move up in draft getting impact player

      See: Kincaid

     

    What say you?

    I need to see what they’re gonna do on the defensive line
     

    We lost a bunch of players on the team, but we kept our core players, and there are certain positions. We are in a really good position.

     

    We could potentially be better

    Simplest way to get around it is to get more out of your younger players. Fact is they draft guys then go sign guys to play their position. Part of the blame for this is probably McD though. What really is it  bad drafting or poor development and lack of trust in young players from the HC. 

    I have no problem double dipping between free agency and the draft on positions. Some of these kids coming out of college won’t be ready like Bernard.
     

    What I don’t want to see is McDermott not playing young guys who are obviously better players but going with veterans just cause

    If there happens to be a run of 3 straight WRs or something, you may want to try to leapfrog some teams to make sure you get your guy

    Hopefully the bills are not thinking this way they better be more than one guy
     

    This happened last year there was a run on wide receivers and Buffalo ended up taking Dalton now I’m not advocating for another tight end, but the idea I’m having more than one guy on your board is still sound

    This is like the Eric Moulds draft. 

    I’m gonna say that it’s better than that draft you have almost can’t miss guys at the beginning of it and it’s such quality that you’re still going to be able to get good players at the end of the first round and the second

  17. 1 minute ago, whorlnut said:

    Why can’t it be the other way around though?  What if they are planning on getting a WR in 1 and then trade up in 2 to get their DT?

    Totally possible
     

    I just sat through a mock where we did a short, slight trade down and still picked up legette and sweat

    You don't get that kind of frame with that kind of speed with his playmaking tape as a True Outside WR every day (which is what we're looking for).

     

    He ascended and earned some money with how he looked yesterday. Where we're picking is pretty much the sweet spot for him. Trade down and there's a good chance you miss him. Then you're looking at guys like Keon Coleman and Troy Franklin that measured out disappointingly yesterday. 

    Would be perfectly happy with Legget
     

    But I think people are making the mistake of thinking that Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman are not going to be good wide receivers

     

    You watch there’s probably gonna be 7 to 8 guys that are going to be contributors in the NFL
