Lbs are the rbs of the defense for the most part. You can get one on day two who is starter material if you need one. Unless Edmunds is part of a trade, he will play out his fifth year contract. He will probably play better with the revamped DT room. How much better will determine his future in Buffalo, but most likely this is his last year, imo. No need to address the position with urgency this year. The top of the draft is likely cb, wr, ol, possibly rb.

There's just not enough Edmunds talk on this board. Thanks OP.

I personally prefer Kenneth Walker. You could probably get him at 57.

They need a rule change. NHL is the one league I almost never trust to get it right (MLB is a close second, but I don't much care about baseball.)

Well, OJ Howard is a one year deal and they might not be sure they can keep Knox (which I would hate after developing him.)

Maybe he's a dope and immature and a malcontent. If it's all that, then it's too much, but there might be extenuating circumstances for being unhappy like the above post indicates. Immature you can work on. I don't think you can fix stupid. Let's say he's not a rockhead. Then the reason you might take him on and pass on one of the talented wrs available in the draft is if you rate his talent as first round level. If you get a wr with that tier in a later round, you can invest the first two or three picks elsewhere and still get a wr with impact potential. Anyway, that's the argument for looking into it, which I'm pretty sure Beane will do his due diligence on.

If the character issues are manageable, you could conceivably get Booth @25, Kenneth Walker @ 57, and Toney for a third. I'd sign up for that.

Doubtful. Even if you throw Poyer and 25 in as part of the trade, you're trading next year's first and probably more to get up to 7.

I actually think Kenneth Walker III is a solid choice for us if we're thinking early round rb, but I won't complain about Hall.

I really want Jameson, but doesn't look likely. I still think you try and trade back if you can into the top of the second round if Hall is your choice.

I still think a draft day trade for Bradberry may be part of the equation with the Gmen retaining some salary to make it work. Booth is the only CB that could be around @25 that I can stomach. I suspect Gunner is right about measurables that McD values at CB. McDuffie's arm length might be an issue. I personally want speed WR with some size and Oline help prioritized. I'd really like Jameson Williams. He's going too early even for a trade up imo. Christian Watson is intriguing. Folks who don't want him talk about drop rate, but a lot of that is low percentage throws. I agree with prudentially playing the board. I expect a few tactical trades in either direction.

If we want Breece Hall, we should trade back from 25, because you probably get him near the top of the second. I'm rather convinced Jameson Williams is going too early to even consider trading up for. I still like Olave, Watson, and Burks @25 or a small trade up, Booth, or Kenyon Green if he falls within trading distance. There might be a few others, but for the most part, I think this is a tactical draft. Trade up or stand pat for a few particular players, otherwise, trade down if there are takers.

This is tangential, but Edmunds' measurables also reinforce my belief we aren't taking a short-armed CB @25.

Fellas, it's invincible ignorance . . .

If Dahlin stays on the right side partnered with Mule, there's an opening for Johnson. Or you could see if Johnson is able to and amenable to playing on the right. He would really help solidify a blueline that could be dominant in a few years. Even an average goalie will have good stats once that happens. I think Levi is the best hope for the future in goal, though its magic eight ball mystery how goalies pan out. UPL could be okay sharing the load with a veteran. Take a gamble on Husso or throw money at Kuemper or Fleury. Anderson is a nice story, but time to ride into the sunset.

Ray Guy is the more relevant comparison . . . though maybe you're too young to know that fella. Araiza is worth a fifth round pick, imo.

I think you can have a high opinion of the FO and still be allowed to have rational disagreement, even strong disagreement. They've spent a lot of resources on DL, first and second rounders last year, Ed Oliver a few years back, made their big ticket purchase in FA on Von Miller, replaced numerous DT, brought back DL from previous seasons. CB, WR, IOL ought to be the top of the draft. There are other positions like S, even TE and RB later that make more sense than adding another DL player. And my trump card for this argument: Bobby Hart. Somewhere in the cerebral workings, there's a glitch.

Well, I live near Athens, so I am biased, but I think Cook is a shifty, skilled third down back. He's not just a speedy Brieda type, imo. I am not writing Moss off, btw, though I am skeptical he will stick.

I mean, they just re-signed Bobby Hart 😈

Moss' spot is tenuous. Jones is exclusively a special teamer. Regardless, I doubt rb is on the table until maybe day 3. I'm hoping James Cook is there in the fourth.

IOL has to be an integral part of the draft strategy for it to plausibly be a sufficient effort.

A lot will depend on how the board plays out. Maybe they only need to move up to the middle of the round or they include a veteran in the package. My preference is still to grab Jameson Williams, Olave or even Christian Watson in the first (I presume Williams would require some kind of trade up.) I surmise db is likely @25, so working through scenarios -- if you go D in the first and wait till 57, you are definitely dropping to a lower tier. I'm not cool with it, though evidently many folks are.

If Bills go D @25 and then play let the draft come to them in the 2nd round, that is not a good sign, imo. They need to aggressively upgrade the offense, not to fill holes, which seems to be the default setting for a lot of folks, but to increase the skill set and versatility of the offense so that it becomes more potent and dangerous and less reliant on Josh Allen making extraordinary plays. In addition, we actually need depth at WR and IOL. I think you may still get an impact WR or a TE like McBride at the top of the second round . . . we should make sure we get one.

There are four wr and Green at g that I like in the first. Booth is a pick I can't argue with, but I would not pass on Jameson WIlliams to take him personally. I indicated upthread some second round receiving choices. Skyy Moore could be added, though I'd like a bigger receiving threat with speed. That is something Davis doesn't offer, though I think he is probably ready to step up to No. 2. (Obviously, the KC playoff game was exceptional, but he didn't see the field, disappeared for games earlier in the season. Could be coaching staff issue, I don't know.)
