KOKBILLS

It's been my home on the internet for over 25 years now... I signed up on my friends computer sometime in the later 90's when all I can remember from then was AOL... I did not even have my own computer yet... Kultar reached out to me and I wrote a couple Draft articles when I was younger and had the energy to do that stuff... Best site on the internet and it's not even close...

No thank you on the undersized edge... He's a good player, but not at all what I think the Bills need right now. I like Royals. If the Bills like him that's about where they will have to take him because this is a weak WR Draft and the good ones are going to go fast. No way Morrison makes it to 62 unless the injury concerns are real, and if so, then I don't want him. If he's healthy that's a grand larceny-type steal in the late 2nd. The Bowman and Simon picks are OK... Overall I would not be thrilled with this Draft because of Ezeiruaku at the top...

15 is a bit crazy for a RB IMHO... But I expect the Bills and Cook to work something out... If not though, Beane needs to unload him now when his market value may be at it's peak... It's going to take more from Beane than being a solid B GM to get this team over the hump... That means he's going to have to take some chances. This is one of the best RB Drafts in recent history. There will be good starting caliber RB's in the 3rd and 4th Rds this year...maybe later...So moving Cook now may be the best move long term for this team. I'd rather keep him. But he's a RB...So only on a home town deal...

The depth at WR is just not there this year IMHO... I think there are some good players in Days 1 and 2... But after that it looks like a wasteland to me... I think anyone saying you can wait on WR till Rd 4 is being a little too wishful this year... But we'll see...

Outside of some insane deal coming his way from outside, I cannot imagine a world where Mack does not re-sign. To say he was an integral piece to the 2024 puzzle may be an understatement... He did a lot, and he did it with his own brand of style that the fan base obviously loved.

Without digging in at all yet, generally it seemed to me that Mahomes was ultra quick with his decisions and confident against the Bills D... Receivers were open and he knew where he was going with the ball fast. Philly got him to hesitate, and even a slightest hesitation can be trouble against that bunch because they are very big, and very athletic on that front 4... But it did seem like his 1st read was taken away a lot last night... And he was flat out panicking a lot.

lol... OK...

Well... I kinda thought it was obvious... Joe Marino went in depth about this last off season... Then the gave up 32 to KC again... And it would have been worse if Mahomes does not butterfingers that snap... It is what it is... Defensive HC though!!! So we've got that going for us...

The Bills problem is McD's system and talent on Defense now, and especially the Defensive game planning in the last game of the playoffs the last 5 years. Find another Defensive ex HC like Spags to come in and help and I'm all ears...

He actually had better D-Linemen in Carolina...

There is a system problem with the entire system. Agreed... It don't hurt to ask... And yes, Maxx would be awesome in Buffalo...

I would like those picks for sure... I would be happy with Harmon. I would take the Safety Watts over Tuimoloau at 56... Nothing against Tuimoloau...I just think Watts has a much higher ceiling... And I think a stud Safety like Watts is a bigger need right now... I also think Bond goes higher than 62... This WR Draft is too thin for him to slide that far IMHO... But the names you picked are fine and further proof of why I really like this Draft for the Bills... I think the depth lines up with their needs nicely... Good job!

It's the deepest prospect S Draft I can remember and I've been doing this amateur scout thing for over 35 years... It's not really top heavy as far as top 15-25 guys... But overall it's crazy deep IMHO...

That's for sure. But especially on the Defensive side. How they managed some of their better performances this year (I know it was take-aways) is still amazing to me based on everything they were up against... Personnel, talent, scheme, coaching... Because there were times, and they were not necessarily few, where this was one of the worst Defenses I've seen in a while.

I think so yes...

I'm not sure how far back the history goes here on TSW... I'm too busy to check now... But you should see what I wrote about Chris Jones the year we took Shaq at #19 overall... He was by far my favorite player in that Draft...

50 burger

I agree they're not 15 players away... I just don't see the need in keeping highly paid players that continuously underachieve in Playoffs, and against good Offenses, when you can get cheaper players to do the same thing and still win. I'd overhaul and trade to help clear up space for splash players here and there. Maybe it's not possible? I don't know. You're probably right. But I just don't see where we are going ultimately with players like Groot, Epenesa, DaQuan Jones, Von Miller, etc... Going back to the Cincy Playoff game I've been writing about this. We have to do better... Of course I know Cook is under contract... But it's always cheaper a year early... But to clarify I'm talking about a home town deal. If he wants what his brother is asking for I want no part of it. Sure the Bills dominated the AFC East and finished with the 2 seed with that D. You think they would have beat KC at home with the 1 seed?... I disagree... I think, like I've been saying right here for weeks now that our Defense would eventually let us down and the only way we win is if Josh put up a 40 burger... I was wrong... He needed 33... And good grief don't get me started on that secondary... I know we always get banged up but wow... We need an influx of talent back there big time. Anyway... You're right... I'm frustrated... My apologies...

Shocker...

100%

That's totally fair... But the HC has been saying himself it's their best play all year. Do we know 100% that it's not McD telling him to run it over and over again?

Well... I kinda did... It should be somewhere in my history here... I thought he was the clear #1 overall player in that Draft. Though admittedly he is even better than I thought he would be. I thought he would be a more accurate Brett Favre...

I'm fully aware of the fact that this will come across as negative...But I swear it's not meant to be... I do think though that as an organization, philosophically because of who is in charge, this team has peaked. We're not going to get any better because they refuse to get out of their comfort zone both in scheme and talent evaluation. And as long as those three (Reed, Mahomes, Spags) remain in KC, we are not going to the SB... Especially if McDermott continues to run the same Defensive scheme and preach fundamentals over everything. A scheme that many teams not named KC figured out this year. And fundamentals are great, as long as they are backed up by strategy and great play calling. That being said... Here's what I would do. I really don't see any reason to keep anyone on the Defensive line not named Ed Oliver. There are decent players there...sure... But in big games they have continuously come up short. I would absolutely be interested in Crosby or Garrett... Of course I would. This Draft is very deep on the Defensive line. Move whoever you can for picks. Keep Solomon because he's cheap... Completely rebuild it. The secondary has to be rebuilt as well... Benford, Taron, Bishop, and even Ingram and Lewis as depth are fine...But the rest needs to be fortified with speed and talent big time. I'd use at least one of those 2025 picks on a sideline to sideline LB with SPEED... Add speed at WR of course... Good grief add speed and people who can beat man coverage. Bring Hollins back on a one year. I would absolutely trade for George Pickens diva and all... And yes, I would do what I can within reason considering the position to keep Jimbo... Ty Johnson should be resigned obviously. He won't be expensive. No matter what the Bills easily win the AFC East in 2025 and battle for the AFC... But until they can get out of their comfort zone and come up with something in these big games they will continue to come up short. And it is what it is.

Well... I'm not sure who the call was on, but I know Cybo blocked no one while two Chiefs players came in the RG-RT gap...
