Heitz Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Got word Bills are forfeiting all of 2017 games Good news - more time for stromboli (and maybe a pop or 4) at Hammer's! Best decision Russ Brandon has made in years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderingsquid Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'll hear the OP out. You guys couldn't look a month into the future let alone a year. Who pissed in your corn flakes? To me it's fun to think about and I'm confident that we have a HC that is actually thinking about this too which is refreshing. Here are some impact players that we can target in the first three rounds with our (presently) 4 picks. Thank you, KC btw. QB - great class Darnold Rosen Allen Falk Fitzgerald WR - ok depth, not great Christian Kirk TA&M Calvin Ridley Alabama Courtland Sutton SMU Antonio Calaway Fla Parris Campbell Ohio State TE - not very deep next year Troy Fumagalli Wisconsin Cam Serigne Wake Forest DeAndre Goolsby Florida Mike Gesicki Penn State CJ Conrad Kentucky RB - good depth again next year Saquon Barkley Penn State Bo Scarborough Alabama Nick Chubb Georgia Derrius Guice LSU Akrum Wadley Iowa I know I've been slowly sipping kool aid lately but I really like how we are set up for next year and I think we can get out of cap hell relatively quickly if we want. I'm just hoping we have a decent mind at GM and soon please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yes, it would be wise to stay away from Scarborough. He's a monster physically, which will be tempting to someone.

Big Turk Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I can see them parting company with Clay next year. Designate him as a post 1 June cut and spread the $9m hit over 2 years. He has not been a great signing for the money. Can we blame him for running wide open down the middle of the field and Tyrod not getting him the ball?

Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Not saying this will happend, but there is a very real chance that McCoy, Watkins, and Clay are all gone by 2018. McCoys age and cap number may get him cut. Clay hasn't been very productive but I blame the QB. Still team may find his cap number isnt worth it. Letting go Sammy would just be one of the dumbest moves in this history of the Bills organization. At this point not one of those players has a replacement on this roster. This team is in huge trouble. Can we play this season first, SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 If you really think about it we have no one on the team under contract in 2023. Yet McDermott will likely be spotted tonight at a Dave and Buster's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoy cap hit is pretty small and he has been teh best player on this team; I don't see how he gets cut unless he gets injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping we have a decent mind at GM and soon please. Trying to guess on college talent right now is pointless. Look at any pundits mock drafts from a year before the actual draft and you'll find about 75% of their first round projections off. And they are professionals at doing it. Last year some had Brad Kayaa going #1 overall. 2 years ago it was Conner Cook. Even Cardale was put in he 1st round of a lot of mocks that year. It's just a futile project to try and figure out next years draft until the college season has at least a few games under its belt. I'd be willing to bet that either Darnold, Rose, or Allen will fall off and not be a top prospect come draft time and I can pretty much guarantee someone else will add their name to the list who no one is even imagining right now.

KDIGGZ Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 id get rid of all of those players now while they still have value. build up the OL and get a QB. much more important than any of the players mentioned He's a monster physically, which will be tempting to someone. This is what I always picture when I see his name now thanks to Captain Kirk: roids. do you really think 10th graders look like that? it's pretty easy to get a dr to prescribe you test or HGH if you know the right people. and if he's an alabama guy then he knows the right people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Man that 2017 season went by fast! How'd we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) How'd we do? We had the top pick in the draft all sewn up and then decided to win week 17 to "get the guys in a winning mentality." The Jets now have the first pick, we are now 3rd based on tiebreakers with the 49ers and both teams have publicly stated they will not be trading down and will be taking QBs. Fast forward 5 years, top 2 picks are incredible and the QB we forced a pick on at 3 (rated as the 23rd best player in the draft) is now out of football. Interesting tidbit, Russ Brandon is still with the team. Edited May 4, 2017 by ndirish1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
