Knox leads our team in catch % (even better than Diggs), and he has 15 TD's in the last 2 years despite only seeing an average of 68 targets over the last 2 years. If we just gave him more a slight bump in targets he would be a top 5 TE in the NFL statistically as a perennial 800+ yard and 10 TD guy. Kelce for example has 2.5x times more targets than Knox does annually averaging about 100 targets more per season than Knox sees. Give Knox 120+ targets and he is well over 1000 yards and double digit TD's. Kelce had 165 targets this year. So, I don't understand how people knock our own guy Knox as if he isn't coming through when given chances. You can't catch what isn't thrown at you, and the reason he isn't getting targets is not because he isn't good enough to get them. It's because they have used him more as an extra blocker with our depleted offensive line. And it doesn't matter how often fans mention "running 2 TE sets", its never going to be a thing in a Josh Allen led offense. We run a high octane down field attack, and that isn't changing anytime soon with Allen. So these 2 TE sets people keep bringing up are never going to be a focal point of our offense. You want more TE production, then fix the OL so Knox can get more targets. A 2nd TE isn't going to get many targets in our offense. And draft a TE later, don't waste an early pick for a depth player behind a starter. We don't need to get his backup in the 1st or 2nd round, we need significant contributors with our early picks. Darnell Washington is the only TE that makes some sense because you are drafting him to be a 6th offensive lineman. But the Bills just don't run many 2 TE sets to begin with, I would rather see them invest in the OL and let Knox release more.

Why? We already have a very good TE we don't use.

Hahaha yeah, I had 2 people sending me trade offers in my DMs, but I was not budging with Anton there. Landing Bijan and then Anton plus having another pick at 53 (from trading Henry) still has me just loving this draft for the Titans right now.

Stevie is so overrated. His 1000 yards seasons are maybe the 3 weakest in NFL history. So much gets made of that and it was so over hyped. I mean he never even reached 1100 yards despite being on a pass happy team allergic to running the ball as the #1 WR. And in all 3 1000 yard seasons, a good percentage of his production came in garbage time late in games when the game was already decided. There is a reason he was out of the league 2 years after Buffalo despite going to play in good offenses. Stevie Johnson was really a decent #3 WR at best who got to be WR1 on a team devoid of options. And that team was not very good, so they got behind a lot giving him chances to pad underwhelming stats late in games when the game was out of reach. He would have like 0-2 catches all game, then suddenly get 2 or 3 catches on a end of game drive with a meaningless TD. Poof...his season end totals look relevant, but they were not.

I mean he clearly prioritized money even though its a 1 year prove it deal to try and get a multi-year deal next year. He won a SB already though in which he was a key player for that SB run and in the SB up until he got hurt. So he has his ring...don't blame him for taking the money over say taking much less to play for a contender. Plus he gets a big role there too. When you think about his knee issues, this might be his last big paycheck too, so getting as much as he can makes sense in case his knees don't cooperate with him.

With the 41st pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select: OT, Anton Harrison, Oklahoma CLICK HERE FOR HIGHLIGHTS We are excited to add this beast of a player to our offensive line. We see Anton has having possibly the best footwork and highest upside along the OL in the entire draft. His athleticism is off the charts, and landing him here in the 2nd round feels like one of the biggest steals in the draft. We even considered trading up for him as we were surprised to see him still on the board. But our patience pays off here adding a monster to our OL to protect our QB and open up holes for Bijan for years to come. Starting our draft off with both Bijan and Anton is about as good as we could have hoped for and we are excited to pick again here shortly in the 2nd. Round 1, Pick 11: Drafted RB, Bijan Robinson, Texas (Derrick Henry traded to Chicago for pick 53) Round 2, Pick 41: Drafted OT Anton Harrison, Oklahoma Round 2, Pick 53 (from Chicago): TBD Round 3, Pick 72: TBD @NewEraand the New York Jets are now on the clock.

LAMP 😂 J/K - Get some sleep, you earned it

This, it’s a no brainer to me.

I wasn’t against Kap though either, so that doesn’t apply to me. And I didn’t say I was OK with it, I said I was less concerned it was an ongoing character flaw and felt good about his remorse for the event and the testimonials from those that knew him since about his growth.

It was posted yesterday in the draft rumor thread too. It’s like he read it and decided to start his own thread about it to make it look like it was his original idea lol

Already made it

With the 20th pick in the draft, the Washington Commanders select: CB, Joey Porter, Penn St. - CLICK HERE FOR HIGHLIGHTS We are excited to have traded back 4 spots and still got our primary target. Porter is outstanding press corner who we believe can be as shut down corner for us for a long time. His blend of size and athleticism combined with his physicality is exactly what we have been looking for. We feel real good with adding him to a defensive backfield that already includes Kyle Fuller. The Chargers at #21 are now on the clock. @Virgilit doesn't have a GM attached for me to tag, just says Chargers

My wife and I are dying to try his stick toffee pudding, looks incredible! We are fans of his too as we like a lot of cooking shows as I love to cook and she loves to bake. He actually has a lot of good content on YouTube and Masterclass too. I had him penciled in for your pick, and I think he has a good chance to land there too if he is on the board at 17.

Wow that is crazy. Well I am kind of adopted British...and by that I mean my wife (who is not British) is a massive Harry Potter fan and Great British Baking Show fan and therefore loves everything London and British hahaha. But that is pretty amazing to only have missed one Bills game since 2009 coming all the way from London. Pretty cool

Whoa, @GunnerBillyou live in the UK? If so, did not know this about you. Cool

Oh, I just assumed you were on East Coast time zone haha. Well ok thats better than thinking you are gunning for bed at 7pm lol

Isn't it like 7pm where you are? LOL

*****TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT***** The Washington Commanders have accepted a trade offer from the Seattle Seahawks and are sending them the 16th pick in the draft in exchange for the Commanders 20th and 83rd picks. @section122and Seahawks are now on the clock.

Dallas at 26 is honestly an issue for the Bills. Any of the offensive players the Bills could be targeting at 27 could easily go to Dallas at 26. Looking at a potential trade up partner...Giants are interesting at 25. If we are targeting a WR or OL help, and someone they want gets to the Giants, then getting ahead of the Cowboys at 26 might be essential. From a cost point of view, our 4th rounder would be enough to make the move. But it would also require Beane to be able to remain patient to wait until pick 25 to make a move for their guy. Of course, this also assumes Dallas didn't move up on their own to keep this from happening. One alternative scenario is if we were trading up to get a WR, would they maybe do something like 27 and Davis to the Giants for 25 and pick 89?

I wanted Simmons bad in the draft, the only reason he wasn't a top 10 pick, and probably top 5, where the character concerns from when he hit a woman while defending his sister from an attacker in high school. I never had any long term concerns about him after hearing the details, hearing him speak about it and what he learned from that. All his coaches and teammates glowed about him too. I kept saying Simmons was going to be the best DT in the draft, and so many here kept going on and on about how he was untouchable because of the high school incident. I wish we would have taken him.

Don’t disagree with any of that. I just think Dillards strongest position is LT, and Skoronski can play inside and potentially take over at LT when Dillards deal is done too if they wish. I’m always a fan of versatility though when it comes to the OL. I’m also very high on Skoronski.

I agree, it won’t be Bijan if Henry is still on the roster. And I also agree it will be OL or a receiver in that scenario. But if they did trade Henry ahead of the draft (or during), Bijan would be an option at 11, assuming he’s still even on the board of course.

I agree, OL is there top need and I was definitely going OL with the pick prior to the trade. I still think Skoronski is the more likely pick. Dillard was paid starting LT money and is better suited there than guard. And Skoronski brings versatility who can play tackle and guard. With the scenario of picking up an extra second here, the plan is to address OL in the second with at least one of those 2nd rounders, possibly both if the right people are on the board.

You do realize the Titans already signed Andre Dillard to starter level money at LT right? They are not drafting a LT with the 11th pick to sit behind Dillard, and they didn't pay Dillard starter money to sit the bench with their cap situation. If they were to take someone on the OL there it would be Peter Skoronski who would be slated to start at LG. They could also go WR at 11 there too. But with the extra draft pick I picked up with this trade, we can find IOL help in the 2nd round and a WR.

If the Titans were to actually trade Henry, I think the Bears are the only team that makes any real sense as a landing partner. They are moving in the right direction there, they have plenty of cap room, and that division could be very winnable for them these next couple of years. Adding DJ Moore and then Derrick Henry would be a massive amount of help for Fields. Not only does Moore help him as a passer, but Henry gives them the luxury of not having to put the offense all on Fields. For Titans, I think they know they are no better than a middling AFC team as presently constructed and don't have the spending power to change that. Henry's cost and age isn't going to do a whole lot for them, so the opportunity to move Henry and his contract before his value diminishes further and bring in a potentially generationally talented RB to succeed him feels like a win-win type scenario for them. Getting Bijan for essentially the next 4-5 seasons on a rookie contract allows them to build around the style of football they want while freeing up cap space to keep improving the team elsewhere.
