KOKBILLS

I forgot when I wrote this that Campbell is training with Luke Kuechly. So McD already has that scoop. Campbell and Kuechly are very similar RAS athletes.. Like really similar...

Is it just me, or do the Bills seem oddly disinterested at replacing Tremaine in Free Agency? I wonder if these 2 LB's have anything to do with that? Because the way it's looking, both may be available at 27... Campbell is a RAS All-Star (9.98)...The 3rd highest RAS at LB from 2020 on! Simpson is the 11th best RAS (9.83) in that same time period. Both are players you just have to believe McD will want. I think it all depends on how much the Bills continue to value overall roster strength, in lieu of concentrating on building the Offense almost exclusively this Draft. Because the answer at MLB for the Bills will very likely be available at 27...I did not think they would do it. But the way they have addressed it in Free Agency has forced me to hedge a bit. We'll see soon enough I guess...

I think Flowers is a 1st round talent for sure...He's getting dinged on size, and only size. Admittedly he's not a big WR. But if the Bills Drafted him at #27, I'd be excited...He's dynamic in the open field. Very quick and elusive. I could care less about his size. He plays like he knows he's the best guy out there. What we've seen Waddle and Wilson do, Flowers will do as well if you get him into space. I'm not sure there is a single player that has grown on me more than Zay in this Draft. The more I think about him, the more I want the Bills to land him. I was all Jalin Hyatt early...But Flowers is right there with Hyatt for me now. They are both home run pieces. But Flowers is the more versatile...at least right now. I could see Downs going to a team like KC late in the 1st...I doubt Downs gets past Carolina at #39...

Though I want nothing to do with trading any picks for a vet RB, I have to admit to being SO curious how Henry would fare on an Offense that teams are almost forced to Defend Pass 1st...I mean...Josh Allen is still the Bills QB...Henry would be in completely foreign territory. And I'm not saying he would fit. But it sure as heck would be interesting to see play out.

100%...And you don't have to in Day 2...Day 3 should have plenty...

This better not be true... Understanding talent evaluation at each position in the current Draft, and being able to utilize advantages, is a HUGE part of building a roster with a massive QB cap hit. The Bills better not trade Draft resources for a RB...That would be terrible asset management this off-season. Depending on the Scout(s) there should be somewhere between 15-17 RB's with a 5th Round or better grade in this Draft... Realizing different Scouting services will have varying results, the #17 RB in this Draft is about 2 rounds higher in overall ranking than the #17 RB from the 2021 Draft, and about 20 spots higher than last year, which was another decent RB class. What generally happens nowadays in deep RB Drafts? Players like Pacheco get pushed WAY down the board to high-value spots. The Bills need to forget about any vet RB's not nicknamed Motor (and he'll have to compete for a spot anyway), and Draft one on Day 3 to get those 4 years of Rookie salary. They'll also get a very good player. At least the chances are very good in this Draft.

I agree...If they want to bring him in for next to nothing, fine...But based on the way he's played, he would be hard pressed to beat out who we already have there. Though anything is possible I guess.

I was thinking...It's too bad Wagner did not go to LA one season earlier so Von could better recruit him now...

I agree 100%...

They're both really good...

If the Bills end up with David, even if it's just for a year, that's all they need right now. It's perfect. Lets them push back the calendar one year at MLB, while bringing in a SB Champion caliber veteran teammate. It fits...

I don't disagree with that take... But I also know they're not going to fire McD...Or Beane...That is what it is right now...It's gut-check time for both though...

I can be as negative as anyone concerning the Bills (at times) over the past few years. But let's not get it too twisted...The Bills were their own worst enemy last year in numerous ways. They lost 3 regular season games by a total of 8 points. One was possibly the craziest game I've ever watched because it brought real potential heat stroke drama...Another was whatever the heck you call that debacle vs. Minnesota. The Bills are a SB caliber team, and quite possibly the best team in the NFL when they are clicking fundamentally. When they properly execute what is called, they are very good. And they have the potential to throw up a LOT of points fast against almost any Defense...Nothing these other teams in the AFC East do equals Josh Allen...Nothing...If the Bills do right around Josh, they'll always be ahead with Josh. And there is nothing that is currently wrong with the Bills that is not fixable with a great off season...

Agreed...And my guess was 13-15 mil AAV...

Great point Bro...

I know some folks will not agree...But this gives me so much hope for the immediate future of the Bills. The Bills had to do some serious gut-checking this off season. The most likely move would have been to re-sign Tremaine at silly money. In fact I'm still a little shocked they didn't. But he's just not THAT good. He's OK, don't get me wrong. But he's no where near an 18M AAV player...He's just not...The Spotrac and OverTheCap Market Value numbers were MUCH closer to reality than what he got. And Beane did the right thing. I know how hard it must have been for McBeane because they love the kid. But this was the right football move. I swear...This gives me great hope that they are going to fix what needs to be fixed...It really does.

Well...he's sure to fall off of 1st contact plenty on short yardage...That's one of his specialties...

The Bills Drafted him in the 1st Round. Made him the leader of their Defense. Literally handed over the keys to the car. And he made almost $25 million dollars before his 25th birthday... That's an insane contract for a guy with 6.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 5 INT's, and 35 passes defended in 74 NFL games...I know he's only 24 and still has upside...But come on... Good for Tremaine...Now don't let the door hit you in the a**.

Buh bye... That's ridiculous...

Can't wait to see the numbers... I'm glad it's over...I'm a bit surprised...But the rumored money started to get silly...We'll see...

Well...Ekeler is really good...But I'm not sure, even as good as he is, how much they can get for him. This is the best off season for RB in the past however long. The UFA class is loaded and the Draft is loaded. The Bills need a 3rd RB still...And I'm hoping they understand that it's reasonably likely you can get a player like Chad Brown, Roschon Johnson, or Tank Bigsby in the 4th-5th round! That's incredible value for a RB that should start early in their career, and 4 years on a cheap contract. You have to use the Draft wisely when there is a glut of talent. I saw the report that the Bills were interested in Williams from Detroit. I don't care how many TD's he had last year, and how much they need a short-yardage back...Spending cash on a UFA RB, or trading for a vet RB this off-season is so dumb IMHO...Especially after watching what KC got from their 7th Round pick last year.

I want Tremaine to stay for sure... But anyone who thinks he's a 17-20 million per year LB is out of their mind...He's not that level of player. And even projecting a major bump in production I think it's a stretch...So..We'll see...I just don't want the Bills to get stupid about it...

Oh man...I'm not in favor of giving up any Draft picks normally...But Simmons is SO good...Trading him for Oliver would be huge!

I do agree with that line of thinking. I think DD would be a monster at OG...
