    I can’t see the bills playing a lot of 3 MLBs.

     

    That would mean you’re playing more into your weakness (LB position) and taking off a good slot corner. (TJ)

    Right, why would we play MORE 4-3, if our linebacker group is going to be weaker and we have guys like Taron, Siran and Rapp in the secondary?  Going more 4-3, you put two question marks on the field as opposed to one.

    With Kincaid as OUR first round TE, I thought it would be useful to draw a historic comparison with the production that other first round TE's have made their rookie seasons.

     

    Kyle Pitts - 68 rec 1026 yards 1 TD

    TJ Hockenson - 32 rec 367 yards 2 TD

    Noah Fant 40 rec 562 yards 3 TD

    Hayden Hurst 13 rec 163 yards 1 TD

    OJ Howard 26 rec 432 yards 6 TD

    Evan Engram 64 rec 722 yards 6 TD

    David Njoku 32 rec 386 yards 4 TD

    Eric Ebron 25 rec 248 yards 1 TD

    Tyler Eifert 39 rec 445 yards 2 TD

     

    At first glance, woof. Obviously the 2 notable productive TE's, Engram and Pitts stand out.  But both were heavily targeted, 115 for Engram and 110 for Pitts. When looking at the Bills offense, Knox (who will likely remain TE1) has averaged ~57 targets per year.  Assuming Diggs/Davis/Knox are receiving the lion's share of targets again (which they should be), what do you all think is a reasonable expectation for the rookie next year?


    I would be pleasantly surprised with a 40 catch 400 yard couple TD season.  I am expecting closer to 30-300.

     

    Obviously rooting for him to be Travis Kelce/Mark Andrews/George Kittle born again as a rookie. But the history of the position doesn't support that being the case.

     
    If Kincaid puts up these stats, I’d be happy with it.  Knox didn’t even put up those stats his first two seasons.  There’s other mouths to feed in this offense.  Kincaid hopefully adds another dimension that also helps boost the rest of the offense too.

    Also need to factor who is throwing the ball to those guys. Allen has given career years to number of WRs who have came here. In a pass heavy offense they will have chance to post better numbers than their previous teams.


    ^This.  If Josh was throwing to any of us on this board, we’d put up some numbers too.  Doesn’t mean we belong in the NFL.

    I'm going rogue....


    TE Darnell Washington.   


    The Chiefs have had a lot of success utilizing all 4 of their TE's to create mismatches on defense

    You just want to see some on this board have a complete meltdown, don’t you? 😎

     

    Personally, I’m pulling for the Bills somehow landing Trenton Simpson tonight or another LB to their liking, although would also be happy with more help in the trenches.

    I find myself in a tough spot with the Texans, my goal at this point is to add as much talent as possible. Damien Pierce is a good player, but I want to take it to the next level. 
     

    With the 12th pick in TSW mock draft 3.0 the Texans select Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas. 
     

    With the way the board fell he is BPA and the best offensive weapon I could find. Robinson is awesome and with the regime coming from the 49ers, Robinson will crush it in that offense essentially becoming the Christian McCaffrey. Robinson also gives you so much as a receiver that Pierce still has a role here. You may be wondering what we do at QB? After these two first rounders the Texans have 10 more picks, and I am totally willing to trade a couple of those for Trey Lance, who I like better than the QBs in this draft, and who already knows the offense. In a draft with just a few blue chip prospects, the Texans come away with two of them in Anderson and Robinson.  

     

    Bijan is an instant fan favorite and brings credibility and impact to this Texans offense. 
     

     

    @LEBills and the NY Rodgeres are on the clock

    @Virgil


    Should it be @LEBills or @aristocrat to reflect today’s trade?

    Gotta be @aristocrat, right?

  6. If Dorsey doesn’t want a better option at 2nd TE, why did they sign Howard last year?  Or why were they talking to Gronk, or exploring a trade for Ertz?  Just because the Bills haven’t played more 12 personnel doesn’t mean they don’t want to.  If they can find a solid blocking TE option who could also be a pass catching threat in 1st or 2nd round, I think they go for it.  Not to mention they could use some better depth behind Knox.
