$15M per year is top 3 RB money. I like cook, and he was up there in terms of TDs scored, but the rest (yards, yards per carry) was about average. Maybe he is a top 10 RB, so would compromise and give him top 8 money. That’s Montgomery making $9.1M. Maybe I could be convinced to give him $12M (top 5 money), but only for 1-2 years.

I don’t like the moving up and down the draft quote. For Beane, moving spots is like using a bar of soap. The more you handle it, the smaller it gets. Just pick the player you want. No need to move around; this strategy hasn’t really worked out well for Beane.

Is this a Freudian slip? But, in truth, I think the Bills coolers did their jobs better. I doubt there was any warm Gatorade on the sideline.

The big question becomes, are the Bills now going to sign this Wyatt guy?

OP makes good arguments and the value of TJ is plain to see. Being a RB, his most memorable plays were him acting as a WR. That said, I don’t see the connection to Fred nor do I think he is the same league as Fred. A better comparison would be Fred vs Cook.

Garbage time takes on a new meaning.

It was probably this or be cut. I just don’t see any team paying him any significant amount of money right now. At least he gets an extra year for another SB run and another chance to show he still has stuff in the tank.

Don’t forget, no touchdowns either.

I would trade 2 1sts for him. Easily. It’s not like Beane would pick better players than Hendrickson. I don’t care about his age. 17.5 sacks is about 10 more than Rousseau. What I’d be most worried about is his contract numbers. If possible, I would give him 3 years with 3 void years.

Those palm trees are proof he’s just teasing.

We can hate on the Bengals all we want, but the Bills haven’t beat them in over 5 years.

This will fit into the comp pick formula rather well.

Are the Chargers the new Panthers?

Sign him. Between him and Bosa, we’ll have one heck of a player who can play a whole season.

Beane? Only Rex Ryan can win the offseason.

This guy doesn’t play the Giants anymore?

Kind of reminds of how deep WR was last year. But, he we are.

This is fine. Our offense didn’t have any glaring issues last year. OTOH, our defense was sieve.

So, Garrett chooses money over winning. I guess it’s fine not getting him.

We should just promise not to Franchise him if he shows up to camp on time. Franchise tag would be $13.6M. It would then be up to him to have a record contract year. He’ll actually hurt his own cause if he holds out on a contract year.

Still older than Edmunds.

Proves he was the right pick for them.

We do get something from keeping him though. We get a year of his service in his prime for a relatively small salary.

A 4th and 15 from the 30 is an almost guaranteed throw up for a defense PI call. I don’t think officials would be able to help themselves. Edit: on 2nd thought, I think I would prefer a Hail Mary situation. Of course, this would mean the Bills lose another game a season. But these are more exciting than on-side kicks which usually don’t convert.

I’m Not so sure this was luck. They could’ve traded up more and o pick another QB. I don’t think it was just reaching for what’s left, although they have done this with other 1st round picks. I’m going to give credit where it’s due, however I still agree with Monos; other than Josh, their 1st and 2nd round picks have been abysmal. What ifs are fun, but I wonder if we have a Super Bowl already if we didn’t trade with KC in 2017. I’m not even saying we should’ve taken Mahomes there, but if we didn’t trade with KC, another team very well have taken Mahomes instead of KC. Maybe an NFC team. Or one not coached by Reid.
