Breaking: Daryl Williams signs 3 year extension


Recommended Posts

Someone posted the question the other day will McDermott eventually pass Marv as the best coach in Bills history. 

 

What does Beane have to do to pass Polian as the best GM in Bills history? I would say either (a) win a Super Bowl or (b) have about a 15 year run of excellence with multiple Super Bowl appearances.

Great!!

 

Lol the guy that told me yesterday there was as NO chance this could happen after Milano signing...

It is surprising.  I don't know many people here who thought they could keep both.  I'm assuming the numbers are similar to Milano's in the sense the 2021 cap # is low relative to years 2 and 3.

Guessing his cap hit for 21 will a team friendly 7-8M or so. This puts them right at their limit I think?  Think they'll be able to restructure/cut their way to one more significant signing or re-signing of Feliciano, but the rest are going to have to be Practice players, vet min, or draft picks

Polian didn't have to deal with a salary cap.

I'm happy to admit that I was wrong. I thought we'd lose Milano to keep Williams. The draft can go in so many directions now.

 

Beane tends to like going into the draft with positions filled.  Even epenesa wasn't a guarantee since they had signed addison.  There were thoughts of oline, dugger or chinn type big nickel, young pass rusher, etc.

Wyatt Davis or Pat Freiermuth are two of my top adds as of now. 

 

I want someone who can come in and contribute right away - preferably helping the run game

Does make me wonder a little about Feleciano.  Will he now not be back?

Same thing was said about Milano and Williams.

 

Just have to wait and see what happens.

Feliciano was the next name on the priority list.  He sounds like he wants to be back and I wouldn't be surprised if we get a home-team discount.

Dammit!  Now I have to run that stupid simulator another 20 times taking out RT as a priority in R1-2...

Ain't it great?  Now we can look at BPA.  Although considering how organized Beane is, he probably is looking to holes he expects to need to fill in 2025.

Davis is a dominant run blocker, able to consistently generate movement along the line of scrimmage in almost any blocking scheme.

Pat Freiermuth is a prospect who goes under the radar when most analysts are evaluating this draft class.  Because Penn State was a run-first team, he was asked to mainly block.

Personally I think it's easier to find a starting guard at 30 than finding a starting EDGE rusher. So I would vote to let Feliciano go,, cut Addison, restructure Hughes + Star. Use Kumerow/Duke/Stills as your replacement for Brown on the roster (Gabe Davis is your #2). Use that 10M in cap savings to find a F/A EDGE, draft a starting guard, a DE/3T tweener, a slot corner, a speedy WR, and a TE.

 

Unfortunately TE is likely going to go unanswered this offseason. Think EDGE is more pressing.

 

You could actually snag Friermuth at 30, trade up into the 2nd round and grab a starting RG there.

I'm a Penn Stater, and I'd agree with this. When we went the YOLO offense in 2019, he has a huge factor. There's a reason we called him baby Gronk. Would fit perfectly with spirit/philosophy of this offense.

My current best guess of who the Bills would target is Moehrig, for that Big Nickel hybrid role.

Huh, so not cutting Mario.  That's a 10M cap hit, so I'm hoping that got reduced to about 5M, as he's a backup.

 

I wouldn't expect more than a couple million--$5m is pretty drastic.  I'm happy to see he took a cut though.

They still have to prove they can beat KC.

 

They didn't even come close in 2020.

 

I am excited about the Bills taking that next step, but we shall see.


Keeping our OL in tact, while KC cuts both starting tackles is a good start.

For the draft now, they definitely can go BPA but for the first round pick my guess is they pick a position like CB or edge rusher because of relative value, particularly in years 3-5 of rookie contract. Then in rounds 2 and 3 I could see offense - interior OL, WR and wouldn't rule out TE or RB. 

 

I could also see them trading down, something like #30 for an early 2nd and early 4th. Trade value chart possibilities for #30:

 

Atlanta's 2nd and 4th (#35 and #108)

Cincy's 2nd (38), 4th (111) and 5th (149) Bills could throw in their 6th (211)
