Dr. Who

If it does happen, you need to go buy a lottery ticket.

Fella only ever posts disparaging, negative comments. If he's an actual Bills' fan, he's indistinguishable from a troll

Ben Powers already signed with the Broncos. I'd really still like to nab Isaac Seumalo, but no doubt his price tag exceeds what Beane wants to pay.

I'd rather just take a flier on a mid-round rookie (Hendon Hooker?) than sign Rudoph.

Especially if the result is passing on a superior player in order to have a modest ability vet manning every perceived hole.

I agree, but folks would complain less about dedicated special team players -- would hardly notice it, really -- if the quality of the offensive weapons was more robust.

Why does that happen? Are we bad poker players, is there a tell? It's just a shame not to have the screen game as an effective part of the offense.

That's a low bar . . . I think his floor is competent and the ceiling could turn out considerably better.

I like the signing. Depending on what we do in the first, I'd be looking at a fella like Matthew Bergeron in the second.

I think the consensus is the Jets' McGovern is the better player. The one we got is probably a tick above average, but versatile and not a dinosaur.

I'd rather sign an established veteran guard and draft another olineman or two. If you can manage a vet wr as well in free agency, all the better. But I think we need at least one olineman that does not need to develop, someone who can start day one and palpably improve the line.

I don't like DST either . . .

Man, I'm getting sick of getting kicked down the road.

Pretty sure it's been clear all along they would restructure Josh and a few others to get enough space under the cap to be modest buyers in the free agent market. I don't see how they are going to be players on big ticket fellas. I'm hoping there is at least one solid guard that is a priority acquisition.

They're the red shirts in the classic Star Trek.

I haven't thought about it for several reasons. 1) I expect he will clearly get an offer above what the Bills could reasonably match without significantly impeding efforts to spend free agent money to improve the offense, Even the low end of your scale is too much for the budget, though taken in isolation he would be worth 5/75M; 2) I believe you can get a veteran replacement with a somewhat different skill set at a better price point. I think they should target an edgier, "meaner" alternative. Sacrifice some coverage skills for grit.

I don't see how this is a surprise. I don't believe it is an indictment on Tremaine. He can simply get more on the open market than what we can prudentially alot for his position. Poyer is great, but he's old with significant wear and tear. Cheaper replacements and more resources devoted to oline and offensive weapons is the right strategy. I'm hoping they follow through, whilst anticipating a pretty good chance they go D in the first . . . again.

Awhile back I was pushing for Darnell Washington, though I was hoping to grab him in the second round. I think he will be an exceptional blocker and help solidify the oline. He would fill the role of TE#2. At 27, that is a pretty rich price. Kincaid and Mayer are more dangerous offensive weapons at the position who are plausibly available there as well. The problem is the value of the olinemen and wr might not be there at 27. This is probably a year to trade down and pick up another day two pick, but you can't count on a reasonable deal, so you better have a plan to make the pick. I personally hope it doesn't default to defense, though there's a decent chance that's where the value is. I can't afford to throw a brick at the telly, so I will probably go outside and yell at the clouds.

Another D dominant draft at the top is half way to Aloha on a steel guitar.

No kidding. Folks know now that Justin Jefferson is a great wr. They didn't know before the draft. No one did or he wouldn't have lasted until the late first round. Grow up.

Good grief. The worst kind of "told you so" post. Diggs was instrumental in Josh Allen becoming Josh Allen. There are plenty of questionable choices made by Beane, but this isn't really one of them. They will work it out. Don't think Diggs is ready to retire and he ain't being traded.

They are not the same old Sabres. The young core is very good. They likely hit on all three first rounders from 2022. Dahlin deserves consideration for the Norris. Power is playing great D for his age. Muel is having a down year, but I don't see him failing. The top line is dangerous. Even Skinner has become a player that is more than a sniper. Cozens has become a legit 2C. Quinn is going to be a star, imo. Krebs is that pesky bottom six player that irritates the opponent. The team needs an infusion of grit, some defensive D men, preferably RD, and improved goaltending. Levi might be the answer a few years out. They need to bring in someone to bridge that gap; and of course, Levi might not pan out -- I think he's special, though. Granato plays an offensive game, so there's a sense in which the D always pays the price for that strategy. They still need to be better. I would say they are a year ahead of schedule. I wish KA had made some available deals for this year, but I expect the Sabres to be a good team for years to come. Time to drop the cynicism, despite the awful performance last night.

Ottawa ends up with Chychrun for a price KA could easily have beat. It did not cost prospects. Really don't get the thinking here. Pretty exasperating.

He's just perpetually mad about shrinkage.

Stillman trade is still puzzling. I don't think he's ever been good, but apparently they think he fits our system. Was hoping for Chickenman, but AZ needs to drop their price. We'll see what happens as the deadline approaches. I'm not too unhappy with the lack of deals. So far, it looks to me like we might have hit on all three of our 2022 first rounders, so I'd be leary to include them in a trade. Levi signing and being the real deal will play a large part in the future being as fun as we all hope. (Yes, I know Levi will need at least eighteen months to two years to properly develop before he likely sees the NHL ice apart from a game or two looksee.)
