  1. Biggest thing going for Hauschka is that we no longer need to carry 2 kickers. It annoyed me to no end that we had to waste an extra spot on another K.
  2. The more I read about Watson the more scared I am of him. Arm strength will be an issue in Buffalo and that alone would be enough to dissuade me from picking him in the 1st. In addition to accuracy and footwork issues watching him on Gruden's QB camp let me feeling unimpressed when it came to his personality. He seems like a mild mannered soft spoken guy who doesn't scream leader to me. If I was going to flame out and pick a QB I would rather risk it with Mahomes if we could trade back and accumulate more picks. He has his flaws for sure but he has some things you just can't teach.
  3. Signing Chad makes sense but only as an UDFA. Kid has probably been entitled his entire life getting his way and being spoiled. He would have to come in and prove himself both on and off the field. It also would not prevent us from drafting another QB in 2018 if things fall apart. I would bring him in say he has 1 shot and if he screws up he is gone. Kid is talented but also appears to be immature and a problem child so clear boundaries would need to be set.
  4. Haha come playoffs with the Bills out of it. My 2nd fav team is whoever the Pats are facing.
  5. These guys do mocks like every day so they have to keep things interesting and switch things up to keep people interested.
  6. Rex brought all of this on himself and deserved to get fired. It was mentioned that this was a 9-5 job for Rex. Rex was on the hot seat last year and put all his faith in his brother to turn things around. Instead of grinding it out and trying to save his job he left it to others to do it for him. It blew up in his face and that is on him. Rookie mistake by the new owners which sucks but hopefully they learned from it and McDermott can turn team around.
  7. We haven't had much success in drafting QBs as it is. Unless one of these guys is a sure fire starter I wouldn't draft them on the hope they develop into something. Plus if other teams are passing it will say all we need to know about this QB class. Teams don't pass up on Franchise QBs. I don't want to go through another EJ situation where we feel forced to take one. At pick #10 if QB is the highest rated player on the draft board go ahead and draft him otherwise you have to stick to picking the best player available.
  8. These sessions are voluntary. Players are going to miss sessions it happens every year. As long as McCoy shows up in shape and ready to go opening day that is all that matters. Over his career that hasn't been an issue with him so while it would have been nice for him to be here it is not a big deal.
  9. Terry Pegula would be the most hated man in Buffalo just don't see it happening. The guy has more money than he knows what to do with. He would be going against everything he said when he bought the team and I don't think he is that kind of person.
  10. https://mobile.twitter.com/PB_Number2/status/846525101667422209/photo/1
  11. OJ Howard and Josh Gordon would make our offense look that much more formidable and give us some size at the skill positions. Wouldn't hate it if something like that happened.
  12. That was the word put out publicly but I think they wanted Whaley in charge going forward and notified Nix of their plans. In addition, there was a number of other front office personnel who were replaced around the same who all had ties with Nix. At which point Whaley brought his own guys in like Monos, Fisher, etc.. Also, a few months prior there were rumors that Nix wouldn't be asked back when his contract expired and Bill Polian would be taking the Czar role. Obviously that never played out but I believe the Bills were ready to move on from Nix post draft anyway even if he was planning to retire.
  13. Well Buddy Nix was put out to pasture after the draft. If something is going to happen I assume it would follow the same time frame. We will see what happens come May.
  14. I don't think either S Hooker or Adams will be there when we draft @ 10. If that is the case I would be looking to trade down. I think the QBs will slide and if a team like NO, AZ or Cle want to jump up to our spot to pick the one they want we should trade out. One of the 3 top offensive skill players Howard, Williams. or Davis will still be there to draft otherwise we can grab an OT or LB which I wouldn't hate as well.
  15. Geno Smith got 1 yr 2 million from the Giants. EJ should fire his agent that is a terrible deal.
  16. Don't know how true this is but it looks like Brown's original agent priced his client out of the market. Anyone who was going to pay Brown 10m could have had him. Miami probably used the Brown visit as leverage in getting a deal done with Alonso. Simon Clancy‏ @SiClancy @mlwilsonpublish @AdamHBeasley Again, Brown wanted close to 10m a year. Which is why he's unsigned & why he changed agents.
  17. I think the kid is going undrafted at which point I pick up the phone and see if he wants to come in for a tryout.
  18. Isn't Jim Monos on the pro personnel side? How much is this really Whaley. However, regarding this past draft I highly suspect Rex had major influence in the draft room resulting in picking Lawson and Ragland. So I believe the owners gave a pass to Whaley and reason he has managed to hang around this long. With the Bills it is hard to know who is in charge of what. It is difficult to assign blame when you have a GM who appears to just be a glorified scout.
  19. Schefter is reporting 3 yrs 45 million w/ 19 GTD. Crazy money and people complain about Tyrod.
  20. If you are rebuilding there was no point in keeping Taylor. You don't pick up his option and let him leave in FA. You then sign a veteran QB to back up Cardale Jones or another rookie QB and feed them to the wolves. If you bottom out great you have a shot at Darnold in 2018 otherwise you find out if one of the young QBs on your team can be that franchise guy. In addition, aging Vets like Kyle Williams, Corey Graham, McCoy etc.. would already be gone. Plus we would not be active in FA spending significant cap dollars on positions such as K and FB. Bills think they can compete but are looking for players who fit new system.
  21. Bills are not rebuilding due to them keeping Taylor. They think they can win and win now. I wouldn't have been opposed to a Full rebuild if we had decided to let Taylor walk which is what the Jets look to be doing this year.
  22. I am hoping all these moves lead to a big signing at WR.
  23. In such a deep draft TE class how about a WR or two.
  24. With as deep of a TE class this year rather spend FA dollars elsewhere such as fixing the o-line instead.
  25. While Chicago is trying to sign Gilmore away hoping Buffalo can finalize deal. RT is a definite need.
