Do you like football and the men who play it?

That’s part of it.

I have to agree. Which is why the Bills will have at least 3 positions of need that are high value to choose a player from. Do you consider the Oliver pick last year a pass rusher?

Sounds like You should of been a football player.?

Dawkins is everything you want out of a player in the locker room and off the field. I think if Beane can find him a constant solid left guard to play beside, Dawkins will be a solid to good LT for years to come. It’s not coincidence that Dawkins disappointing season came when the entire line was in shambles. Yes, pay him and move on.

I am a UGA fan and thought it was best for Jake to move on. Really is nothing that stands out about him. Average arm, average decision making, and below average athleticism. If he hadn’t played in the National Championship game as a freshman, people wouldn’t really evaluate him as such a high prospect. Reminds me a ton of Arron Murray from UGA. The UGA prospect that intrigues me for our Bills is Lawrence Cager. Cager is a big bodied (6’5 225) wide out who transferred to UGA from Miami after Mark Richt retired. Right now because of injuries this past season, Cager is a day three or UDFA type player. If Cager has a good combine And pro day he could shoot up the board.

Best case scenario at this point and handled the right way by Beane and the Bills.

I think so. What if you space it out and do it post draft, So can see how competition is at positions?

who do you consider the player with the least amount of room to improve?

I get what you are saying and it’s not far fetched. Maybe Beane goes after Greene if Cincy can’t lock him up, or pulls a trade off for someone we aren’t even thinking about yet. I think Beane is hesitant on drafting wideouts high because he knows they take awhile to develop. I’m not saying it won’t happen, I am making assumptions based on what I have seen thus far from Beane. While Beane was in Carolina, did the Panthers ever draft a wide receiver in the first besides Benjamin?

I don’t think they need a power back. Singletary can get short yards. Draft 2 backs this year like TE’s last year. One that is similar in style to Singletary and one that is quicker and can catch.

i Don’t see it. I think Beane knows that there are a handful of wide receivers that can be had in the late first, second, or third round. This group of receiver are all similar in projected production. Now I could see Beane trading up in the second round to grab a wide receiver depending on how the first round goes. By this I mean, if other clubs are 5-10 picks ahead of the Bills and needs a wideout, Beane will jump up so he doesn’t miss his guy. I don’t see it in the first, you have to give up to much.

Why do you think Ford can’t improve?

I am keeping an eye on Lawrence Cager out of UGA at the combine and his pro day. Cager is 6’5 and 220 pounds and has a huge catch radius. Cager will be a day three or UDFA target as it stands now due to injuries his senior season. If Cager puts up A sub 4.6 forty he might start popping up on teams radar.

I went with Allen and Ford. 2018. Allen. Tough call between Allen and Edmunds I feel they are on similar trajectories up. Both show flashes of being the player we hoped they could be when drafted. I think this third season is when we see consistency out of both players. 2019- Ford. i think the coaching staff will give Ford a designated position the entire preseason camps and this will allow him to focus.

I wonder if fans thought things were perfect 30, 40, or 50 years ago... The only constant in the NFL and life is change.

This is an ignorant take. Wilson is a top 7 QB right now. Maybe top 5. Allen is getting there, but if I am a vet TE with a year left, I am going to sign with a proven SB winning QB, HC, and a good defense. Time will tell if this works out for Olsen and Seattle.

It says the Jets felt Bell put weight on during the season that impacted his explosiveness... I would emotionally eat to if I had Gase as a coach.

Jeesh, that doesn’t sound great. I would like to hear what one of doctors says about that. I’m sure each case is different and must be looked at individually. While reading that I asked myself ‘who thought to have someone stand on one leg and then get an image?’. Smart stuff.

I can go either way on Phillips. Ultimately I trust Beane.

So you are ok with the one year tag for Phillips or looking for a longer deal?

Yuck. No thank you. Spend that money on a DE that can get home and find me a space eater to split time with Starr.

Great points. Got to agree.

Thank you. I trust your insight. Bills do need a pass rusher. Now would you take Addison for say $14 mil a year or Ngakoue for say $17 a year?

I will come clean and admit I based my response on looking at stats. Addison has more years of hovering around 10 sacks. It was interesting to see that Addison didn’t really hit his stride until 7 or 8 seasons in the league. I know you are an astute scout of the entire league. You feel Addison would be worth the extra $4 mil( in this totally hypothetical scenario, haha)?
