Also Heard Bills Connected to Giants (Engram), Texans (Mercilus) and Bengals (Adkins) from my little bird. I'd love to get Adkins. Actually either of those 3 names you listed would be great. IMO I'd hope they go LB or DT if a trade happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going for another Tight End is far less important than going for defense. Pursuing Atkins & Mercilus makes a lot more sense. Won't be easy, but they have to try. I think they are looking at the Offense and Saying, crap we need that TE that will threaten these Cover 2 looks we are getting now (I think they Hoped Knox would do that but seems he is not). I can also say the Birdie did tell me that TB is interested in Knox as well. OOO Also the Birdie told me that the Bills have no intention of moving their 1st or 2nd round picks. Said all other picks are assets they will use in a trade, feeling is those later picks will have a hard time making next years football team anyway.

jahnyc Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Mercilus would be a great addition, but don't we need help at MLB as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an elite slot corner, not sure he’s played outside as much although he can in a pinch. Don’t they play him all around the secondary, including safety? I know he’s not overly big, but can he play a Tyrann type game, where he can match up, but also drop deep? I don’t follow the Chargers closely enough... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Derwin went down I think they tried him at safety. He’s been a healthy scratch and only started 2-3 games so that should tell a little about his story there. In 2018 he was probably the best slot corner in the league. He would be a massive upgrade over Taron in coverage and in blitzing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will make trading more difficult. Beane will have to get very creative. I see your point about the Tight End position, although I still think Knox can be valuable to us. If you listen to some people on this board you'd think that Knox has never caught a pass in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Knox while flashes is still to inconsistent to be counted on. If you can get a Njoku for a third I would be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a lot of friends who are Cleveland fans and they say he has a worse case of drops than Knox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a total of 8 drops in his career, Knox had 10 in 2019. Once again Knox in a double digit drop% Too fast to cover with a LBer. Too Big for Safeties and DBs your prototypical matchup nightmare Has great ball tracking ability. Comes from TE U. Routes are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 @MAJBobby where are you and your little birdy friend on TEs; Engram or Njoku? Which one is more preferred? Would cost be that much different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Birdy mentioned only Engram to me (and that might have to do with cost.) Engram has years left on Contract https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-giants/evan-engram-21764/ Njoku Does as well https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/david-njoku-21770/ So I guess it comes to compensation they likely think that Engram is cheaper compensation wise than Njoku would be. Also could be the thinking that Njoku (even though he said he wants to be moved) isnt going to be moved off a team trying to get to the playoffs who has injuries at both the WR and TE positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
