let’s see what happens in the draft. I know people are hell bent about a WR in the first but there’s a ton of depth there…we might stumble on a pass rushing 3T or DE with a mid 1st round  grade.  

Sweat DT in the second

This might be the one year I'm okay with trading our 1st in the following draft to move up.  We have a good understanding of what our gaps are for the next few years, so if Beane see's someone he can lock up now, go for it.

The Bills can max out at what, upper teens? That’s kind of an odd ball spot. Maybe Rome Odunze slips that far?

I believe Beane will create picks. There's no way he goes from 60 to 128 sitting on his hands. This draft is huge in establishing a good solid core on both sides.

 

Since there are a few teams with more than one pick in rds. 2 and 3, I can see him selling next years 1st to create another 2nd and 3rd.

 

Latu/Murphy  28

Sweat   41

Burton  60

Walker  88

Smith   128

 

 

I may not agree at holding onto 28. But i do agree about creating another second and third.  and i like pick at 41

Thats too far unless maybe maybe a 1A Diggs replacement WR drops and even then.

Hoping there is a chance for Sweat , and they have an eye/good value on him

I'm thinking more of trading a 1st in 2025 to get into the 2nd round of this draft.

 

Imagine getting Sweat, a #1 WR, and another staring position of need (C/G, S, DE) now.  We know we need those roles for the future and this draft has them in abundance.

Why do we keep signing players coming off knee injuries.  Really is that what this team has been reduced too??  What a waste of money on a guy that tanked in 2023 because of a knee injury in 2022, when he injured his MCL and fractured his knee.  I don't understand Beane thoughts on this,  and his play last year was way below average too with LAC.

 

Whatever..... This is typical of Beane.

you have lost your sensibilities again haven't you  ? !
 You get premiere picks who will start day one or get reps from that trade of # 1 ? I would be on board.

You feel lucky Virgil ? Do Ya ?

I'm just getting into draft mode in prep for the TSW mock draft.  Trades make it more interesting 😜

Yeah, what a jackass. Keeps putting out a perennial Division Champion that's a Super Bowl favorite year in and year out.

 

Stupid ####### that Beane guy is.

Nice....

 

Is Eli Ankou a serious prspect for next year or is he.just another body at the position?

He might be in the mix of backups but no shock if we take someone in day 1 or day 2 to eventually replace Jones.

Maybe @pennstate10 can give us some insight on him.   I know Jerry Sandusky used to help recruit some of these guys starting in middle school.

 

Edit: I apologize for all these Nittany Lions haters this post drew out @pennstate10.   They hate ya' because they ain'tcha'.   I think it's that.

Sneaky good signing. 

 

Agree. Now, if Beane can somehow sing Blackmon, we could go into the draft with a lot of firepower to get one of the top WR.

sign him and trade a late round pick for another DT that's capable 

 

would love to sign Calais Campbell for a year if he wants to come here.  We had a visit scheduled with him before he signed in ATL last year.

 

Dude is 37 and still had 6.5 sacks last season playing all 17 games 

Dang I’m getting old, I remember wanting to draft Calais Campbell

Bills defense will be better than last year because Milano is such a huge factor and Bernard should be better in his 2nd year starting. Hyde and Poyer were great Bills but their best years are behind them. We need youth at safety and Douglas will be better than any corner we had in 3 years and he’ll be here a full season. If Miller can give us improved play, which shouldn’t be unrealistic because he stunk last year, the DL should be better. Better pressure, better run defense with a healthy DQ, Milano and improved depth with Johnson, and a better secondary with Edward’s, Douglas and a round 1 or 2 safety or corner.

wow, a great signing!

 

this is teaching tape on how you maintain gap control, then make plays off that!

 

the last few plays show him with some nice wins vs. Morse/McGovern in the last Chargers game 😧

 

You're right!  Watch the Cover 1 video.  The guy has great strength, standing up and holding his ground, then uses his hands to slip the block one way or the other to bring down the running back.  Over and over he does it.

I like every move Beane has made wxcept bringing back Epenesa.

Even with all that, I still go WR, Edge, Safety top 3 picks. Then a Punter in round 5. 

Disagree Epenesa has proven he’s a game changer and we didn’t pay him a lot. Beane has done a fine job outside of his safety situation. I would’ve waited on signing Rapp and Edwards. After the draft and all your needs are filled outside of starting safety there are going to be bargain starting safeties still available. I’m not a huge Samuel fan either because I’ve seen what he is but if Brady wanted him and can use him right that’s fine. Still need a #1 WR for Josh in this draft

I think this is more true. If he continues to lock up positions of “need” with some of these moves he’s making, I could see him using a 1st next year along with any other ammo he has to move up into the 10-15 range and make a move for MHJ, Nabors, or Odunze, whoever falls to that range. It’ll depend on how the draft plays out but I think this is more of a possibility than trading next years 1st for multiple 2-4th rounders this year.

Yeah I remember Calais being viewed as the future potential #1 overall in the 2008 draft back in June of 2007..........and after a bunch of prospect fatigue and paralysis by overanlysis a lot of the draftniks were surprised he even went in the second round because they had started looking at him as an early day 3 prospect.  :doh:
