I 100% agree with you and as of right now I have David Bailey at # 2 solely because it’s a premium position, he has good size and has incredibly long arms and burst and can get after the QB

I threw this out on the board the first day McDermott was fired. Just can't picture Beane giving up a 1st rounder or more to get KOC. I'd love it but it wouldn't help the supposed deficient roster.

They have a chance to add talent but what a bad year to have 2 firsts. The 3 next year are the big thing no doubt about that. I'm sure they would love to trade down out of # 2 this year and compile more picks for next year but who in the hell is moving into that # 2 spot? I mean they might be able to find a sucker but I'm having incredible trouble deciding who they should take at the 2nd selection overall. I mean everyone in their mother right now is drafting Arvell Reese. I know you can't compare draft classes but he profiles very similarly to Jalon Walker from last year. Everybody thought Walker was going top 5 at this time last year and he ended up going 15. Okay so if not Reese, then maybe Reuben Bain. While the tape is really good on Bain he is going to be a massive outlier when it comes to measurables for a defensive end especially when it comes to height and arm length especially at # 2 overall. There are rumors he has 31 inch arms and I almost guarantee he isn't coming in at 6'3, I bet he's closer to 6'1. To me the guy who makes the most sense for the Jets is Caleb Downs but who in their right mind would take a Safety at #2 overall. Now I have him as my best player in the draft but the positional value, the contract you would have to give him, and the fact that Kyle Hamilton, who everyone thought was a generational safety went 14th makes me think there is no way they go in this direction but I mean it is the Jets after all.

I mean hey good for him I ain’t judging crazy gold digger or not she’s good looking and Belichick is living his best life right now with that haha

I mean I didn’t know a HC had to be a rah rah guy. I mean Belichick, Harbaughs are weird as hell, Mike MacDonald, Sean Payton, Andy Reid is quirky I guess, Kyle Shanahan. There’s are a lot more boring dry NFL coaches versus rah rah guys. im trying to think of exciting coaches who had a ton of success. Jimmy Johnson is one, Nick Sirianni though that’s more Howie Roseman, Dan Campbell but he hasn’t won anything yet

I’m intrigued more than anything. Sounds like he’s a good X and O guy. One of the things I look for is who can he bring in as OC/DC. To me that’s just as important as him calling plays. He doesn’t need to here. He’d be a CEO hopefully with solid assistants around him. That’s my concern with all the really young guys we’re going to interview is who can they bring with them

We don’t have less cash, it’s been said on this board numerous times that the Bills can get under the cap by 40 million quite easily. We have Josh Allen we are going to win football games regardless of who the coach is. The whole goal of this move is to get beyond the WC/Divisional round. No I don’t expect us to win 6-7 games next year or anytime in the near future as long as Allen is healthy

don’t worry La Confora doesn’t know anything that’s why he lost his gig

What’s funny is they are all intertwined. The Shanahan tree is the Kubiak tree which is the McVay tree. They all run the same stuff. I could see Kubiak getting hired and plucking from Seattle, SF, and LA Rams for his coaching staff at least on offense

Yes I saw they worked with each other one year when they both were really young with the Vikings , wonder if that would be an option I did see that as well

Weaver had only had one bad season as a DC that happened to be this year. Last year the Dolphins were ranked 4th in the league in defense and when he was with the Ravens they were near the top of the NFL as well

I haven’t even listened to the original presser and opened this just to laugh at people’s reactions

Yea that is the problem I find with Kubiak is finding a good Defensive coordinator that he has worked with besides Evero and he’s interviewing for Head Jobs and is under contract with the Panthers. The other guys he’s worked with I have no interest in, so it would have to likely be someone he hasn’t worked with in his past. Maybe he does pull Leslie Frazier but not sure Beane wants to go back down that road either.

I could see Anthony Weaver as a Defensive Coordinator here especially if the goal is to hire a first time HC

I said it about the Edmunds/Milano/Bernard scenario as well. At the time no one thought anything of it. Timeline: McDermott drafts Milano Beane gets hired and drafts Edmunds Edmunds and Milano become free agents same year Media reports Edmunds is the priority and Milano will be allowed to explore free agency Milano re-signs on lucrative contract and Edmunds goes to the Bears All of this in a time bubble isn’t a big deal. As a matter of fact Beane is applauded for keeping Milano over Edmund’s . Production over Potential Bills draft Bernard to replace Edmunds this is where I get really confused. So Beane in his first year takes a behemoth MLB. 6’4 240 and runs like a gazelle but his replacement is a 6’0 215 pound guy who at best has adequate speed and is undersized? That to me makes zero sense and not to mention that Bernard was considered a huge reach at that time , one that I panned, and McDermott has an extremely close relationship with Dave Aranda the HC at Baylor where Bernard played. I also wonder if Oliver was a McDermott pick . I remember the pictures of McDermott personally working out Oliber at his pro day. Then after McDermott saying something along the lines of sometimes you just know it when you see it , you can even smell it . I mean Oliver was consensus best player there so it’s very likely they agreed there but just another small example

This could also explain a lot of things Beane has said in press conferences about finding guys with speed on the perimeter and then not actually doing it. I feel he’s said this the last couple of years and wondering he was set to draft Worthy and McDermott wanted Coleman. It’s one of those things I was always miffed by . He’d say we’re looking to add speed then never address it it was weird

I don’t think it matters much. If another team had Coleman high on their board they’re still likely to pony up a 5th rounder for him and take that lottery ticket. He’s only 23 and on a cheap contract. Someone will throw the Bills a pick even if it doesn’t work out for the new team, much like Elam

I suspect A Pegula doesn’t care and B that Keon was getting moved this offseason anyways

Now I’m making an assumption but I could see Beane getting pissed mostly about the pass rusher thing. McDermott is lecturing Beane about the pass rush after Beane went out and got Joey Bosa , re-signed Greg Rousseau, went out and got Michael Hoecht, signed Larry Ogunjobi , and drafted 3 DL in the draft I mean at some point you can argue that Beane did everything he could to appease McDermott and he wasn’t getting the most out of the players Let’s look at their DL drafts: Harrison Phillips DT Ed Oliver DT Daryl Johnson DE AJ Epenesa DE Greg Rousseau DE Boogie Basham DE Dewayne Carter DT Javon Solomon DE TJ Sanders DT Landon Jackson DE Deone Walker DT You could look at this list and say yuck Beane can’t draft but I could also argue who has McDermott and his staff avtually developed. Oliver is good but not for the 9th pick, Rousseau is good but not the star people thought he could be, Epenesa was thought of as a steal when the Bills got him. Basically im saying I see both sides. This isn’t even including the gobs of money thrown at the DL through free agency.

I was looking and found it interesting that Evero the Panthers DC was the Broncos DC in 2022 with Kubiak there. Believe Evero is under contract with Carolina though if he doesn’t get a HC job

So I’m looking at options for Klint Kubiak . I think I’d have an easier time finding an offensive coordinator for him than a defensive coordinator. Possible offensive coordinators: Klay Kubiak OC 49ers- obviously his brother makes a lot of sense. Kyle Shanahan can block this but here’s something interesting. When Kyle was the OC for Gary Kubiak in Houston, Gary could have blocked Kyle from working with his father in Washington. Gary didn’t and Kyle got to work for his dad. Is it time to repay that favor? Andrew Janocko- Seahawks QB coach- He’s been with Kubiak in 3 of his last 4 stops. Has been his QB coach everytime Kubiak was the OC. Background QBs and Oline Wes Phillips- Vikings OC- Probably a longer shot if only because he can be blocked by Kevin O’Connell. The relationship goes back to Gary and Wade Phillips. Wade was a long time DC for Gary and his son Wes Phillips and Kubiak have a long relationship together growing up around each other

Bigger and faster on defense with more man coverage that’s all I want from this team to change

I don’t know why people assume Kubiak would hire Leslie Frazier as his DC. Frazier was brought in by MacDonald. Kubiak has only been there a year and there is no previous connection. I’m not saying it wouldn’t happen but I also wouldn’t classify it as more than 50/50

Yea I mentioned trading for O’Connell days ago but I just can’t see the Bills giving up a 1st round pick for a sitting HC

I also wonder if we can poach his brother from the 49ers somehow but I’m sure Klay wants to be a HC at some point to
