Where do you see the early picks rounds 1 - 3? If Edmunds leaves, they would need to get his replacement. I think WR could still be in play on Day 2. Perhaps LB, WR, DE, S, DT, and RB assuming they get 2 starting Oline guys in FA.

I felt the same way but allowing Edmunds to walk affords Beane some flexibility to address some offensive issues in free agency. I think Edmunds is a good player but not worth $100M contract.

It's still early but DT could be a need for Bills. Phillips is a FA and Oliver, Jones, and Settle only have 1 year left on their contracts. I think Jones will be extended in the near future.

If the Bills let Edmunds walk, I could see them signing 2 FA guards and possibly drafting an OT in rounds 4 or 5. If Edmunds is gone and Morse retires, I could see 2 FA agent guards and draft a Center who can start right away. Bates and Boettger backup guards/center.

It's taken me awhile to get here but I agree with you. I believe Beane and McDermott thought they were drafting a real game changer but it never developed in that sense. I think Edmunds is gone, and although it might sting initially to lose a good player, the Bills should be better off if they make some good free agent signings in lieu of re-signing Edmunds. Sign a starting guard and a WR.

If Edmunds walks, the Bills could likely sign 2 FA guards (Ben Powers, Dalton Eisner, etc) and a FA MLB for the amount of money Edmunds gets and likely have money left over. Edmunds is probably trying to get Roquan Smith $ if not more. 5yr $45M gtd $100 M total.

Sounds to me like Harrison Phillips part deux. Edmunds knows what the Bills are willing to pay him but will listen to other offers. Some team will blow Bills offer out of the water.

It all starts and ends with Andy Reid. He out prepares his opponent during the week, outcoaches his opponent on game day, and outdrafts his opponents in the draft. He also unloaded Hill for a draft haul and reloaded along with avoided paying a huge contract. Reid is killing it.

I turned it on just in time for the coin flip, and even then they wasted quite a bit of time before the kickoff.

Beane needs to emphasize oline with premium assets. Enough with bargain bin shopping for oline guys. Protect Allen.

All true. Andy Reid is better than McD in coaching and better than Beane in drafting.

Look what the Chiefs did after this game. They traded for LT Orlando Brown Jr, signed LG Joe Thuney, drafted C Creed Humphrey and RG Trey Smith. They totally overhauled their Oline. Bills need to redo their oline but probably won't.

He supervises the junior defensive assistant lol

They have the resources. It might require contract restructures if they want to sign a FA oline guy but they have draft picks. To me, it's their philosophy regarding the oline that needs to change. They don't prioritize it enough imo.

The Bills are a good team but not really good. That's what the Bengals loss told me. The Chiefs Oline gave Mahomes time to throw against Bengals. The Chiefs defensive line got pressure on Burrow. The Chiefs provided a blueprint on how to beat them. Bills need to getmore stout up front on both sides of the ball but I'm hoping for strong focus on oline.

I can't remember the last time I was rooting for the Chiefs. Been a few years at least. But it's over! Go Philly!

Good point. Their oline was a little spotty early on. Took a few games for them to come together. Lot of new faces but experienced guys.

This is the grim reality. Reminds me of when we lost to Chiefs in AFC Championship game.

Not sure about the wildcard comment but pretty much agree with everything else. Draft a WR and 2 OL guys early. Draft a safety and move Benford to safety. Like it or not I think they're re-signing Edmunds. Would like to see them sign a free agent LG who's legit starter. If they strengthen oline it could hide some of their defensive deficiencies.

They could have drafted Humphrey and have him play guard for awhile. The Bills oline situation is so annoying. One dumb move after another. Hey let's sign an old broken down OL for one year for $6+ million. *****

Beane really hasn't done anything with the oline in 5 drafts. He got Ford (bust), Brown, re-signed Dawkins, and signed Morse. Throw in a bunch of lower echelon guys. That's about it. He has a franchise QB who got hurt this year. I blame Beane for it because he keeps spending premium picks on the dline.

I hear you Bill. Either way, it's possibly another lost opportunity to either protect Allen with a quality OL or get him another WR to pair with Diggs. I hope we're wrong.

After listening to Beane defend Brown yesterday among other things and listening to McD say we're a good football team, I have this unsettling feeling they're gonna run it back next year pretty much as is. Not only that but they'll draft another frickin DE in the first round.

That's easy dude. No one wants to be a double amputee. There's women everywhere and go get a dog for your best friend. Cheers!

I'll first wait to see who they re-sign and what players in free agency they sign.
