I look at Etienne as a CJ Spiller-type and not because he also went to Clemson. In the NFL, he’s likely going to be that scatback that Buddy Nix envisioned for Spiller. Spiller was a bad pick then because of the state of the team. He should’ve been used liked Darren Sproles, with 50-60 receptions at least. His high with the Bills was 43. This Bills team is in a better position to make a pick of Etienne, but at 30, not trading other draft capital to move up for him. I love what Brandon Beane has done overall but it seems he gets too emotional about some players, resulting in trade-ups. The videos of the draft room from 2 years ago are a perfect example. He couldn’t be patient to see if Cody Ford would still be there for their pick so he had to trade up to get him. Then he did the same thing with Knox in the 4th round. He also seemed to be enamored with film clips of Devin Singletary, stating he was amazed at some of his moves. Well, it’s been only 2 years but I’d.say all 3 of those players have not yet met expectations.

I was thinking about the only players that it would be worth trading for that would significantly benefit the Bills are Pitts and JOK. Pitts would take a lot in trade though as you’d likely have to get to 4 or 5. JOK could be more reasonable as I’ve seen him in most mocks in the late teens to low 20s.

Exactly. When the rumor surfaced that the Niners moved up to the 3rd pick, I looked at NFL.COM, where Zierlien had him as the 36th prospect.

Eh, the three-and-out offenses before last year left the defense on the field a lot.

Yes, I don’t believe they take a QB, even if they had a 2nd round grade on one and he’s available in the 7th.

Thanks for sharing. It was great to reminisce, especially seeing Bobby C. Last season at the Rockpile. I don’t remember MLB Ken Lee at all.

FWIW, Lance Zierlien of NFL.COM has him projected as a 3-4 OLB and in the 4th round.

Did you guys see that clip of him working out in the woods, tossing tree stumps?

Mario Williams would greatly improve the pass rush.

“can’t pass block” or won’t? It’s a matter of learning and effort.

I like what I read about him on NFL.COM. Sounds like he just needs more experience and coaching.

How about the Bills defense that let WR Mark Ingram break several tackles to convert a 3rd and 17?

And he followed it up by saying the pass was off.

Yeah, they have added enough O-line help to run two practices and we haven’t even had the draft and undrafted free agents yet.

But remember: Offseason acquisitions are like a box of chocolates. “You never know what you’re gonna get.” 😏

“May the Schwartz be with you”

Showing off with the 4 syllable words? 😏 I believe you misinterpreted. Jimmy G is a little like Tyrod where the team may win games but it’s usually not because he threw for 300+ yards and three TD passes. More so it’s that he doesn’t lose games.

My Niner fan friends say he’s not very mobile and doesn’t throw well on the move. A pocket passer who has his moments but is more a game manager. He rarely has won a game for them.

Other than Benjamin Button, nobody gets younger.

Highmark is better than Lowmark, which could be a new name for where the Sabres play.

How about a sumo wrestler? Probably be cheaper. Talk about a space eater.

He will be after Carolina uses him up.

I know, I got the shakes when I saw that.

Really! C’mon McBeane, you guys weren’t even there when they signed him!

NBA’s New Orleans team changed from Hornets to Pelicans. Schitty instead of Shabby
