I’m telling you, it isn’t a given that Araizia replaces Haack based on what Beane said. Remember the Bills had a punter with a pretty strong leg in Bojorquez. They replaced him with Haack, knowing that he wasn’t as powerful as a punter, but that was an excellent directional punter and holder. If that’s what they value, than I think Bass has an inside track on the position. Araizia is going to have to impress in those areas to win the job.
I guess I could see a scenario where Moss is traded, though my guess is he will assume the TJ Yeldon inactive RB3 role.
Im not a fan of Epinesa, but I think his job is safe considering the Bills brought back a veteran like Shaq to push him. He’ll have to have a terrible a TC to get released/traded.
The WR room could get interesting. The only players I’m certain of will be Diggs, Davis, and Shakir.
I don’t anticipate Crowder or McKenzie get cut but Shakir has similar attributes, so you never know.
I think the last spot will be interesting with Kumerow/Hodgins/Stevenson
There is zero chance Haack is our punter next year. Unless Araiza gets injured.
What is the obsession with punters being holders these days? It used to be the backup QBs...
I guess it's so the backup QB doesn't have to leave to do special teams drills during practice and the specialists can just be off by themselves?

Haack isn't that familiar, dude was only here one season. But most assuredly he is gone.

maybe the USFL will fill that spot.
The QB play in the Birmingham/New Orleans game Saturday was abysmal, so definitely not helping them.

I said 31.1.-32.0 but I think we will be anywhere between 30-33 PPG

Basic arithmetic indicates that 0.1 sec is about 1 yd in a 40
How often does a player run 40 yards? The DB is also ahead of the WR at the start so he would have to make up that distance. In the NFL it's considered roughly 2 inches when you factor in arm length, etc.

Are they still coached by John Harbaugh? Yea? They'll be competitive. I get the point about their receivers but they throw to receiver less anyway. They have talent and depth almost everywhere else.
They are but at some point you have to score points. Teams can basically ignore their WR's and focus all their attention on Andrews and the run game.

The Ravens... They didn't make the playoffs because Lamar got injured but he's healthy again, they get all their injured players back, also added Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Lindenbaum, David Ojabo, Charlie Kolar, Jordan Stout and Isiah Likely in the draft
They aren't even close to a super bowl contender and have no WRs. They are going to struggle on offense. 3rd in the AFC North.

The Ravens do this every year. They do not over think the draft - they just grab the best player and worry about filling positions later.
This year they got excellent prospects across the draft and for the more limited number of picks they once again nailed the picks with elite players.
My issue with how Baltimore drafts is they are almost strictly BPA (Best Player) and do not fill holes. That team is in huge need of talent at WR and has an abundance of TEs and RBs - they still drafted 2 more TEs and another RB. The team is flush with talent, but the entire roster has 6 WRs and currently has 6 TEs. The team also has 6 dedicated RBs and 2 full backs on the roster.
The Roster is so out of balance on offense it is scary and I get maybe you can spread a TE out and post him up, but with their off season they appear set on being a strictly multi-TE and RB scheme and we are going to run all day. They will have no real ability to come back - which they already struggle with.
Now maybe the plan internally is to offer up Mark Andrews and/or Nick Boyle and try to get a WR in return from a team that is now flush with WR, but they created a hole at receiver and filled it with TE.
They should get an A+ for the draft, but a D- on team building - which at the end of the day is what matters.
Nobody is afraid of the Ravens and their pop gun offense...
They are killing themselves because of their insistence on running an 8th grade offense centered around running Lamar Jackson and basically having 0 weapons on the outside now that Brown is gone.
I could see them finishing 3rd in the division even if Jackson is healthy all year. There is a reason why he doesn't want to talk contract with Baltimore and I don't think they helped themselves in that regard with trading Brown, although when looked at I'm a vacuum, I would have traded Brown for a first too...but the problem doing that is you have nothing to replace him with.
I don't think they are going to be very good this year.

He probably won't be too happy with this draft either

Yeah that team traded away most of it's good players to get rid of bloated contracts if guys that didn't fit what they wanted to create the most dead cap space the following year in NFL history.
Everyone thought they were tanking, even the local media...then they make the playoffs his first year.

Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports really liked the Ravens draft:
"The Ravens clearly had one of the best drafts, and it's because they took the best available player more often than not. Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton may be the best player in the draft, Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum is a legitimate first-round talent and David Ojabo is a first-rounder if he doesn't suffer a torn Achilles. Maybe he will miss his rookie season, but it's worth it if he's a star for many years to come.
It wasn't just the first few picks that the Ravens scored highly on. Fourth-round pick Daniel Faalele is a 6-foot-8 offensive tackle who could have a bright future in the league, cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis was an "A+" pick and then Baltimore took two tight ends in Charlie Kolar from Iowa State and Isaiah Likely from Coastal Carolina. That sounds like a weird strategy, but Likely is a versatile pass-catcher who probably will line up in several different spots."
Too bad they have a gaping hole at WR
2 hours ago, KDIGGZ said:KC got a haul, but does it make up for losing their best player? Maybe not year 1 but if they are able to figure out how to match their offensive output then they will come out ahead by filling a lot of their holes.
Ravens got some nice picks but who the heck are they going to throw to? I don't even know what WR they have at this point. Lamar does not seem happy. Does he even want to re-sign there? No contract talks seems really bizarre.
Bills filled a lot of needs this year but what about next year when they need to sign all of their TE's, Edmunds, Poyer, Gabe, OG. Way more needs next year. Probably should have traded one of those later round picks for a pick next year if they weren't sold on anyone. Still need a 3rd option at outside WR. If Stef or Gabe aren't 100% who comes in? Kumerow? Need a better option than that. Sanders wasn't the best but gave the room good leadership too. A savvy vet like that would be good
Shakir...he can play anywhere on the field according to his scouting report.

I said Davis is replacing Sanders as the number 2 and Shakir is taking over Davis’ old spot. Meaning Shakir’s usage is probably going to be similar to what we saw with the Davis the last few years. Apologies if I was unclear.Ah got it...that makes sense

The way I see it is he is replacing Gabe Davis who is replacing Sanders. So whatever Davis’ rotation has looked like the last few years, that’s what he is doing imo. And if anyone gets hurt he fills in there. Interested to see if they use him in the return game as well.I doubt that. Davis is about to have a monster year

I fully acknowledge that I am NOT a college football fan.
But who sees Shakir as outside WR depth?
All the scouting reports I've read say he played strictly in the slot.
No, the ones I have read said he can play all over the field, both inside and outside and can be used in the return game and on jet sweeps.
Shakir is going to have 0 issues unseating them, he may be challenging for Crowder and Mackenzie's playing time and will likely be stealing more and more from them as the year progresses

Shakir is going to be involved from day 1 and likely will get more and more touches as the year goes on.

Did you honestly watch that game and think Davis' play on the field matched the statistical output? I don't want to downplay it too much, he had a great game. But his record setting performance was more a function of Allen putting on one of the greatest displays of QBing in playoff history and Diggs taking attention away, not to mention an awful CB performance from Mike Hughes. I guess they are just going to hand the 2nd WR job to Davis at this point which I can settle for. But who is going to be the next guy on the depth chart?
Davis is going to be a breakout star this year, just wait.

Your telling me they can’t find an UDFA Guard better than Cody Ford… or even Jake Kumerow? Not a long shot by any means.
Kunerow is there for his special teams ability. Highly doubtful a UDFA takes over that.
Ford...maybe but I'd be surprised if he doesn't look a lot better under Kromer than he has.

Does it really matter? None of them are making this roster. Beane already said it's hard to sign them for this reason

Buffalo doesn't play a 4-3. They play primarily nickel. Also, this chart doesn't even have Crowder
Exactly...their base defense is nickel, they are in it over 70% of all the snaps.

Didnt say he was bad , and Tre is slow too which is why i made the comment. I was hoping we would get Tariq Woolen who ran a 4.26 and is 6' 4" and has the traits this team likes. Im sure McDermott will get the most out of him.
4.47 is not slow.

We like our slow corners
Wasn't aware Elam at 4.39 was slow...he is faster than Tre.
Also since one tenth of a second is approximately 2 inches difference in a 40 yard dash, perhaps they feel his height and long arms make up that difference?

Too many drops, I would not trust him in the return game or 3rd downs. I see him on the PS this year with a small possibility of making the team next year.

Of the serious SB Contenders who had the best draft?

They have virtually no chance of progressing past losing in the divisional round every year with this style
