Poll: How would you grade the Bills overall draft?
mushypeaches replied to Lost's topic in The Stadium Wall
I gave it a B+ because the team focused largely on positions of specific need. When you don't have a lot of big gaping talent holes, I think you can do this, and Beane did it in a measured manner. Elam - we needed an infusion of top end talent at the position, regardless of White's status for the beginning of the year Cook - again, adding talent to the room, especially on the pass catching side. Zach Moss was already two steps out the door, and we're not likely to give Singletary a big second contract either Bernard - LB was a sneaky need for this team and we needed an infusion of talent behind Edmunds & Milano. Ask yourself if you would want any of the ST depth guys behind those two playing significant snaps on defense this year... Shakir - different body type, but this feels like Gabe Davis 2.0. Great value for the draft position and can step in and contribute in many versatile ways Araiza - what more do we need to say except I never want to see Matt Haack in a Bills uniform ever again -
I want a WR and a RB How they get there doesn't really matter (as long as we aren't trading next year's #1)

I think that his logic is sound, based on the last 5 years of the regime, as to why they might not draft a CB at 25 But I still want them to anyways. Can never have too many quality players at that position. We'll rue the day if Tre doesn't come back to form and we need Josh to score 40+ points just to win games.

New Bills stadium deal is bad for taxpayers, according to Yahoo!

I'm sorry, did he miss the part about how we get to keep the Bills in Buffalo? SMFH- 168 replies

Sorry, it hurt my head too much to try to do a comprehensive review of all our first round failures. These were just the low-hanging fruit, but I know that the tree isn't bare

Derek Carr is the AFC's version of Kirk Cousins Not going to win anything significant because of him, but too scared to get rid of him and start fresh If I were a Raiders fan, I'd be thrilled to have been in QB purgatory for the last 10+ seasons and just signing up for at least 4 more

Noooooo... it's just that for a large number of fans, Edmunds doesn't pass the eye test. Yes, he's the captain of the defense, signal caller, etc. But the man just DOES NOT MAKE PLAYS. I can't recall a single game changing play that he's made in the last 4 years. NONE But yes, let's give him a handsome new contract because he has all the physical attributes, young, still growing, blah blah blah MLB is not a premium position in this league and I don't want Beane and the Bills overpaying for replaceable talent
-
You don't trade up or into the 1st round unless you're looking for a QB. That's the only position that you should part with any significant draft capital for. Otherwise, let the draft come to you. We circled the drain too many times during the drought years by chasing picks at other positions than QB. Conversely, we didn't pull the trigger on trades during the drafts that we really needed to find a QB

Edmunds is a luxury that they can no longer afford after this year. I know that the coaches rave about his coverage skills, and leadership, and blah blah blah. But we need to pay the guys who MAKE PLAYS. Edmunds might get better, but he sure is going to get more expensive Let's get what we can from him on the field this year, but let's not be rolling out the checkbook for him unless he suddenly becomes a Top 3 MLB with the stats to back up that status.

God help us if he ever actually sees the field

I think that the push to 36 or even 40 teams is not that far on the horizon. The current owners strongly desire new, rich blood, and the outrageous expansion fees. Plus - it's the only real way to manage any kind of international growth

2023 Extension? (Poyer/Edmunds/Knox/Oliver)
mushypeaches replied to elijah's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm laughing at the thought of fans viewing Knox as average. He doesn't have all the fancy receiving stats yet because he's sharing targets with a pretty strong group of WR's in a dynamic offense. But he was a game changer at several points last year and took a huge step forward. He'll be a $12M/year player on his next contract and that might be on the low end -
Off Topic guess Lamar’s new contract
mushypeaches replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Browns really screwed the rest of the league by giving Watson that huge contract. Every mediocre or better QB is going to basically tell their current teams to pay up or just wait to get traded and get the new desperate team to pay them. It's a win-win for the QB's As noted earlier, our contract with Josh is going to look smarter and smarter every year down the road -
I feel like it's more of an urban legend to think that Donte Whitner ever made a noteworthy play in a Bills uniform. They'll find Jimmy Hoffa before they ever unearth that footage

The Math Behind the Wide Receiver Blockbusters
mushypeaches replied to Punching Bag's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think that your logic here is accurate - the salary cap structure isn't going to tolerate having top WR's paid like QB's. What's going to happen is that smart GM's start to understand that the incremental benefit of having a top WR isn't worth the incremental cost, and the position overall will start to get de-valued. Similar to what happened with RB's over the last 20-25 years. It's not quite the same comparison, but the market correction will occur, and eventually teams will begin treating WR's like more "fungible" assets. That's going to be a hard lesson to learn for top shelf WR's, but it's going to happen now that these salaries are getting downright ridiculous. And the value of first contract WR's is going to be even more critical -
The Math Behind the Wide Receiver Blockbusters
mushypeaches replied to Punching Bag's topic in The Stadium Wall
Remember when we brought in T.O. to help a young QB that didn't throw the ball downfield? Remember when we drafted Sammy Watkins to help unlock EJ's potential? This isn't that much different- 46 replies

Tyreek seeking a trade [Now: Traded to the Dolphins]
mushypeaches replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Until the Dolphins have a QB that's anything above average, an owner with a clue, and a culture where they don't spin through coaches every 3 years, we are going to continue to win at least 75% of our games against them. Josh Allen is 7-1 against them with the lone loss being a ridiculous Charles Clay drop in their first meeting in 2018 -
For those people who are going to inevitably get fired up about having Taiwan Jones on the team, please keep in mind that most teams generally do have backup RB's and/or WR's that play special teams. Singletary, Moss, Duke - none of these guys are going to fit that bill. Maybe they evolve to those roles later in their careers, but not today

Ummmm unfortunately I watched some of those games from last year and at no point did Jake Fromm resemble a competent NFL backup QB Hard pass
