Every year, I become a bigger fan of Beane's team building strategy Free Agency is to plug immediate holes and find plug & play starters and high snap count rotation players Draft is for development, depth, and future backfills Obviously there are some exceptions, especially in the first round of the draft, but this is exactly how you build a sustainable, competitive roster. Once you begin to "need" the draft to find multiple starters each year, it means that your current talent isn't performing or you're top-heavy vs the cap I enjoy not being in that boat any longer

I can't see us cutting both Horrible Harry and Justin Zimmer. We need to have at least one big body option other than Star to play 1T.

I'm very confident that Beane will find one or two veteran free agent finds this summer in the low-to-mid $ range to help address the depth gap. Not a worry right now, but I think they'll know more after they see what they have in mini-camp, i.e. if the rookies can play this year

Fun fact - this is the first Bills draft since the pre-salary cap era of 1991 that we signed 3 of our original picks to 2nd contracts It has always felt like this, more than anything else, contributed to the long period of mediocrity, and indirectly to all of the bad free-agent spends as well.

I'll be worried about the Browns when they find a better QB than Faker Mayfield

Urban is a fraud - I doubt he makes it past 3 years And having lived in Jacksonville myself during the Tebow era, I know how crappy of an experience going to a game is. They're barely the 8th most popular team in town, and I'm probably being generous

They should have just hung on to Kendall Hinton

Bad things, man

I'm in the boat of letting the draft come to us this year. We have a lot of young cheap depth that's going to age out in the next 1-2 years that's going to need to be replaced. It takes cheap draft picks to do that. Yes, I'd like to win, but I don't want to become this top-heavy have/have-not club either. That's the quickest path back to 6 win purgatory

Whatever product Josh endorses, the commercial needs to end with him diving through a folding table

This was a fun season that started my true Bills fandom at the ripe old age of 14. The defense was absolutely stifling even with Bruce sampling the nose candy. Good think too, because despite having an up-and-coming QB, we gave way too many carries to stiffs like Jamie Mueller and Carl Byrum

Exactly - the only right answer is "who cares". This isn't 1977 - the best teams in the league win by passing the football. I enjoy that finally, we are one of them

I'd love to see this

Get off my lawn!

It's Wallace all day. He's done great for being an UDFA but it's easy to tell that his talent level isn't enough to make his starting position sustainable long-term

I think it's Dallas all the way. NBC will want to hype up Dak's return as well

If having a top notch, Super Bowl caliber team means that I'm much less interested in the draft, I'll gladly take it. It got real tiring having an awful-to-mediocre team then watching them pick guys like Mike Williams, Donte Whitner, and Marcel Dareus with high selections Let's not do that again for a long long time

Where can I go to place all my earthly possessions, income, and the souls of my children on the over???

I happen to enjoy that we scored 500 points last year. Really don't care that much how many we gave up

This is a ridiculous assertion. We've had a top defense until last year when some injuries and opt-outs hurt a lot more than any draft or FA misses did. And frankly, I'm much happier that they have a top offense and a middling defense vs having a top defense and a middling offense It's a much stronger and sustainable brand of football. Would you prefer that we bring another GM in to make these decisions??? Again - ridiculous

Good for Cleveland I wouldn't touch that guy with a 39 1/2 foot pole

Are they having some kind of March 18th promotion on Chippewa that they need some stiff to hold down one end of the bar?

yes, let's please get back on the cycle of overpaying the most replaceable position in football. Should we also pursue Todd Gurley? Melvin Gordon? Mark Ingram? David Johnson?

1981 playoffs - watching that wild back & forth game against the Jets

Fortunately, we have an annual player draft that rightly or wrongly, DOES reward the worst teams The Compensatory pick system is working EXACTLY as intended. There was no intent around good or bad teams. Bad teams should draft better Bad teams should retain their talent where appropriate Good teams should make the right decisions on what talent to retain and at what cost. If bad teams choose to sign those free agents and have less of a chance of getting compensatory picks, then the system is working This isn't welfare, it's warfare. There's plenty of room in the league for owners like Mike Brown, but they aren't going to be winning titles
