  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I mean, they just re-signed Bobby Hart 😈
  4. 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.
  5. IOL has to be an integral part of the draft strategy for it to plausibly be a sufficient effort.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.)
  9. I essentially agree, though I have a gut feeling Levi is going to turn out the real deal.
  10. I'm not discounting Davis. We still need to add to the WR room, imo. If someone like Booth is the pick in the first, George Pickens or Trey McBride ought to be second round targets you trade up to secure.
  11. Josh Allen takes a beating in order for the current Bills' offense to excel. You don't want that long term and you want to reduce the necessity for it in the playoffs. While anyone can see the cogency of Booth or maybe Hill in the first, the bulk of early round picks need to be used on offense, imo. Why not get a fella like Jameson Williams, though that probably means a trade up, or Christian Watson @25 to add a speed element to increase the stress the offense can put on the opposing defense. We should be so good that the opposing D is afraid, the way KC with Kelce and Hill allowed Mahomes to maximize his talent. The interior oline could use a Kenyon Green if he falls within a small trade up distance. In short, the default view that because of Josh Allen, we can continue to concentrate top picks on D is not sound.
  12. UPL is probably Ullmark if he hits his ceiling. He's okay as a tandem, I suppose. Need to sign or trade for a veteran. Throw money at Fleury for a few years. I like Kuemper, but he is probably going to want longer term than you'd like and you'll have to overpay. Levi needs a few years to develop and maybe Portillo if he signs.
  13. Did he find your wallet?
  14. He's probably going in the second. Zero chance he falls to the fourth.
  15. The stadium has been falling apart for twenty years. They've been putting band-aids on ad hoc. If they wanted a downtown stadium with all the expense of infrastructure and dealing with municipal politics, they could have done so. Orchard Park was always the favorite and there are good reasons for that.
  16. It's like an especially bad April 1st joke. Why devote resources for that kind of payoff?
  17. Josh Allen has a chance to end up No. 1, but right now, this is correct, even though some folks will be squeamish about it.
  18. I like Breece Hall and Kenneth Walker III, but they are second round picks and I don't think rb merits that high an investment. James Cook somewhat later is who I like.
  19. We posted at the same time. If I had seen the answer posted, I would not have "chimed in."
  20. Fella, he's saying "No to taking McDuffie over a receiver." Gunner is not one of the folks who is pushing cb position over wr. He's got a very high rating for Booth. He also likes a lot of receivers. I believe he mocked Williams to the Bills.
  21. I really think Gunner's opinions are quite astute. Booth is the one D fella I can't complain if he is the pick and I am very much an advocate for wr in the first. WR and OL better be addressed first three rounds, though.
  22. Technically, you can look at Diggs' previous contract and say there was no need to act. Existentially, in reality, Deebo Samuel's discontent and Diggs' enigmatic social media tweets indicate that the current escalation of wr dollars was going to need to be addressed if you want to maintain a happy locker room. As we are in the optimum window for SB success (should have won last year,) I'm not sure Beane had too much of a choice. As far as paying up at the crest of the wave, maybe, but do you think the price is going to go down, because without being an expert, I just rather doubt it? It may stabilize, but then, how does that come down to a different bottom line other than the length of contract, where there are some outs at the end apparently? And none of this is to dispute the basic assertion that Beane has done a good job but made mistakes and will, undoubtedly, make more, because even if very good at his job, a human being who errs . . . maybe not you.
  23. Well, except for the odd something happening of significance to the Bills day, I have to be bribed into turning on NFL Network in the a.m.
  24. I think Booth is the likely pick at 25 if he is there. Personally, I would trade up to try and secure Jameson Williams. I am fairly certain KC and GB will be thinking about it among other teams. If we go CB in the first, we better be prepared to trade up in the second to get Pickens, Skyy Moore, or Christian Watson if he somehow falls into the second. Strengthening the Oline remains a concern as well, but I like the idea of adding a wr that combines top line speed who is developed enough already to not be a complete project to the arsenal available to Josh Allen. We should try to emulate the kind of pressure and stress Mahomes with Kelce and Hill was able to bring to every game.
