I have to say that I only could have known about Josh because he is a Buffalo Bill. If he was drafted by another team and I was never to experience him from a hometown fan perspective I likely wouldn’t be a fan of his. But I’ll say, if he were to ever leave (barring some sort of crap on the fans, crap on the town, crap on the organization situation) I will likely continue to follow him as if he’s been my favorite player of all time. Because he is. Man I’m glad he’s a Bill

My fandom of Josh runs so deep because I think he’s not just a great player but a great person as well. If he were to go to another team, not only would I be a fan of him, I’d follow him as closely as the Bills.

Man. Not only do I want the Bills to draft Hall, I want them to do it in the first or trade up into the 2nd to get him. If anything just to watch everyone who is so against him just explode. It’ll be the most comical thing I can think of actually. I’m sure many of you will reply that it would be the worst idea ever, that he’s not worth it, that I just want this to spite everyone. But if you look in the past they would post things like they trust Beane and this FO know what they are doing. That if they think a player is good who are we to tell them they are wrong. Then once the season starts I want to see Hall having a rookie of the year type year and watch everyone jump all over the Hall bandwagon. I’m sure almost half of you want to flame away. Don’t bother. I won’t be acknowledging you at all.

Didn’t make any trades until the 3 d round where I dropped a slot and picked up some extra picks. Then another trade down again later. Overall I am not sure it could go any better. Have Hill start at CB at the beginning of the year and slowly move him to S. McCollum helps with that as well as adds depth. McBride and White are legit starters right out of the gate. Phillips could be your future Beasley, Woods was easily BPA when I took him. Traded back up to steal Araiza by giving up 168 and 203 25. Daxton Hill S Michigan 57. Trey McBride TE Colorado State 90. Rachaad White RB Arizona State 131. Zyon McCollum CB Sam Houston State 148. Kyle Philips WR UCLA 150. Jelani Woods TE Virginia 161. Matt Araiza P San Diego State

Glad to know I’m not the only one crushing on Woods. He’s got everything to be the best TE out of this draft imo. If he puts it all together or not is the question.

I don’t know if it’s guaranteed that he doesn’t make it to 11 but you are right. It’s likely he doesn’t. I also think that this years first and next years first and third would be worth it but I’m not sure I’d make that move for him. If Hamilton were there I might but I think I’d wait on the hopes for Booth, Kair, McDuffie in the first, or Gordon, Emerson in the 2nd.

had to give up my 1st this year, 1st and 3rd next year to move up to 11 for Gardner. It was worth it IMO. Next year we will be in awe from our Super Bowl win anyway. Also had to give up next years 4th to move up to snag Beavers. He will be Edmunds replacement by next year if not sooner. I feel really good about the first 5 picks. 11. Ahmad Gardner, CB Cincinnati 57. Skyy Moore, WR Western Michigan 89. Jerome Ford, RB Cincinnati 112. Darrian Beavers, LB Cincinnati 168. Matt Araiza, P San Diego State 185. Cordell Volson, OG North Dakota State 203. Amare Barno, EDGE Virginia Tech 231. Allie Green IV, CB Missouri Please god somehow make this happen.

Gave up next years 3rd and 6th. Traded down a couple times for extra ammo to move back up. Overall like the draft. Dotson is immediately a playmaker on O, immediate replacement for Poyer, replacement for Edmunds, likely a 2nd CB opposite White with Emerson, but if he doesn’t work out then you have a chance with Kendrick who is a bit of a wild card, but his talent is there. Potential future starter at RB, swing tackle, 2nd TE, a work in progress at G, and a swing for the fences WR 36. Jahan Dotson WR Penn State 57. Jalen Pitre S Baylor 73. Chad Muma LB Wyoming 81. Martin Emerson CB Mississippi State 91. Daniel Faalele OT Minnesota 130. Jerome Ford RB Cincinnati 133. Jelani Woods TE Virginia 168. Thayer Munford OG Ohio State 185. Amare Barno EDGE Virginia Tech 203. Darion Kendrick CB Georgia 231. Velus Jones Jr. WR Tennessee

I don’t want him anywhere near this team. Unless you get him in round 5 or after. And that’s not happening.

Please god no. If he’s drafted in any round before the 4th I’ll $#?T a chicken.

Whatever. Believe what you want. I am firmly in the camp that he will not be a Bill after this season at the very least. I believe they may be trying to shop him because they’d rather get something than nothing by letting him walk via FA at the end of the year. I also believe he’s pretty much garbage and always someone that you can look at, as making bad plays, bad angles, tackling 5 yards downfield because of poor decisions, out of position, and unable to grasp what a MLB is actually supposed to do. That’s my opinion. the only reason I see them keeping him is because they are all hands on deck this year and wouldn’t want to replace a major piece of the defense in a SuperBowl year. Which I will concede may be beneficial, but I also have such little faith in him as a playmaker that it probably hurts is more than if we were to draft someone like Lloyd. Im done arguing with you. It’s obvious neither of us is going to change each other’s minds on this. So have a good day.

Ended up giving up a 3rd and 5th next year for this draft. I’m not sure it could get any better honestly. Imo. ended up with a stud at WR and our future slot guy for years to come. Starting MLB either right away or after this season when Edmunds leaves. Gordon should be an instant starter opposite White. Faalele instantly becomes our swing tackle and maybe more in the future. Smith should be starting OG by next year. Woods immediately becomes our 3rd TE and when we lose Knox because we can’t afford him, or OJ next year he steps in and takes over. Punter for the next 15 years. And between Woolen and Kendrick you have potential at DB that makes DCs drool about the possibilities. If they work out, we are set at Corner for the next 5 years. 43. Jahan Dotson, WR Penn State 57. Kyler Gordon, CB Washington 58. Chad Muma, LB Wyoming 78. Tariq Woolen, CB UTSA 89. Daniel Faalele, OT Minnesota 99. Lecitus Smith, OG Virginia Tech 168. Jalani Woods, TE Virginia 170. Matt Araiza, P San Diego State 231. Derion Kendrick, CB Georgia

If he does a ton more than fans know, how do you know he does it? Did someone tell you he does it? I’ve gone over this ad nauseam. No coach or teammate will ever say anything bad about a player like ever. They will always support them no matter what. Even ones that we know are terrible. we’ve continued to clear up money and not resign him despite being in his final year of a 5th year deal. I think the writing is on the wall, he’s not worth the 12+ or likely 15+ million that he will almost certainly command after being a 2 time pro bowler. the facts are he’s in on just about every single play because of his freakish physical attributes, but he’s constantly out of position, outmuscled by OLmen, constantly taking wrong angles. fyi, the mass majority of defenses were called by LBs last year but there was a few defenses that were run by S. It’s actually the only other position that’s on the list of being the green dot wearer. Just wanted to point it out that there were Safeties in the nfl that did it and it’s not as ridiculous as you may think. Chargers S Derwin James, LB Kyzir White Patriots S Devin McCourty, LB Kyle Van Noy Rams S Jordan Fuller, LB Ernest Jones, LB Troy Reeder, S Eric Weddle Ravens S Chuck Clark, S Geno Stone

For every one or two players that you find, there’s thousands of ones that don’t work out. Just saying

I believe his teammates absolutely value him. So does this coaching staff and front office. But the facts are he hurts your defense with his inability to react correctly very often. His size and athleticism allows him to be a part of every single play because he’s a freak. But at the end of the day I don’t trust him to make correct decisions on the field in game. and every player would say how good he is and how much is lost by trading him. But every player always has good things to say about their teammates. Until the next guy comes along and is better. I vote for Poyer or Hyde to run the defense while a young rookie learns.

A bunch of trade downs. Ended up missing Dotson with the first pick, as he was taken one spot ahead of me. Was kind of upset about that and it burned my whole thought process. But overall I really liked it. Ended up giving next years 3rd and 7th for this but wasn’t too bad I thought. i know many will say there’s no way we’re keeping 14 players in the roster. But 6 were picked in the top 100 alone. After that, Woods would instantly be our #3 TE, so goodbye Sweeney after camp and pre season. Araiza would instantly start over Haack so goodbye to him as well. Moss would likely be gone with White and Price both drafted. Price going to PS for the season and taking over for Johnson next year. McCollum would fight for a spot and could easily supplant someone for the 5-6th DB spot because of his upside. Phillips could be an upgrade to the slot position within a year and could keep him over someone like Kumerow who has constantly not made the team and always ends up on the PS. Barno, Rose, and Jones all fight for their lives to get PS looks and get ready for next year. Overall, missing Dotson by 1 pick really screwed this up. But overall I’m happy 48. Jalen Pitre, S Baylor 54. Kyler Gordon, CB Washington 60. George Pickens, WR Georgia 85. Rachaad White, RB Arizona State 89. Lecitus Smith, OG Virginia Tech 91. Cole Strange, OG Chattanooga 127. Jelani Woods, TE Virginia 130. Zyon McCollum, CB Sam Houston State 160. Matt Araiza, P San Diego State 185. Kyle Philips, WR UCLA 195. Amare Barno, EDGE Virginia Tech 203. Mike Rose, LB Iowa State 232. D'Vonte Price, RB Florida International 240. Velus Jones Jr., WR Tennessee

Could very well mean that we did like Ettiene and only him in the draft. They clearly had grades on both Groot and Boogie. So that to me says they definitely wanted a DE and had favorable grades on them each. But maybe Ettiene was taken right ahead of us and they had to take their next BPA at the time. Couldn’t pass him up. again, there’s no way to know about any of this. Just a bunch of couch gms thinking they know why the Bills were thinking at the time.

I never stated they had interest in Ettiene FYI. I only stated that was gone when we picked. So the original argument doesn’t exactly prove that they didn’t actually have interest in him. There’s no way to prove it for either of us. The only true fact that is there, is that he was already gone when we picked so you cannot confirm there was actually no interest.

Freak athletes go early. Guys with limited experience don’t fwiw I really like Walker. But in the 3rd round or later. There’s zero evidence for like 98% of guys that weren’t drafted on any draft boards of teams. They don’t leak that info. Like ever.

This statement is exactly why he will not be a round 1 pick. Sure, the talent is there. You’ve pointed many times at the RAS score. But at the end of the day he’s a work in progress. It might pay off for someone but not us in the first round. If he’s there in rd 3 I could get behind it. Keep Edmunds for the year and hopefully Anderson has gotten a full grip of things for the future.

Teams make these docos every single year and the pick they made is always the pick. They are always saying things like “we can’t believe he was still there” “he was the guy we wanted all along”. This is all nothing new. They aren’t going to give any insight to anyone out there that they were thinking anything different. Other teams watch these things and spend a lot of time looking for insight of how certain teams/gms view their boards for future drafts.

He’s been available in a bunch of mocks lately for me as well. With the movement of Miami’s picks, the Seahawks picks, and the recent ones of New Orleans. Pretty sure it has shaken up the expectations of many mocks because nobody knows what’s going to happen. I foresee more trades and moves leading up to the draft and in draft day than maybe ever before. This off-season has been insane and I don’t expect things to get any less crazy. He was already gone. Just saying.

I think if Lloyd was there we take him at 25. But if not I think Beavers could be our pick in the 3rd Rd. They’ve met with him I believe. He’s a monster. I like him a lot

Not a chance Walker or Anderson go that high. Next beers on me if I’m wrong

Only problems is….. Edmunds isn’t as good as people think he is. It’s his last season with us and he will likely get a contract worth more than $15/y and he’s just not worth that much. You trade him while you can and get something for him to soften the blow. Easy answer, you resign Poyer and Hyde to add a few years on each contract with the money you save from Edmunds. You have one of them call the defense since they are incredibly smart and have an overview of the entire field from the S position, until your rookie LB catches on.
