True. But the speed I'm talking about is Cheetah Hill speed.

True. But I don’t know if he’s still kicking up heels at that mph. I’m not saying he’s slow. He can run. I’m just looking for the Bills to add Cheetah Hill type speed.

That’s solid. But doesn’t address the speed quotient.

👆🏾This. Dude can impact the passing game. Rams have a lot of mouths to feed, so he’s not a stat monster, but defenses will have to account for him. If they want a reliable pass game option he’d be a good one. If they want a more well rounded TE they should look elsewhere.

Bates might be the swing tackle.

There’s always a choice.

Touché, my friend. they could also try Curtis Samuel in FA. Then draft Etienne. Possibilities are endless. As long as the Bills get more explosive I don’t care how they do it. Those KC games had me shook. The difference was stark. Now, as a side note, they could also choose to get more explosive on the front 4 too. And that MIGHT beat KC. Tampa Bay did that, but I maintain KC would win 6 if those teams played 10 games.

Good chance Toney is gone by 30. If they need another playmaker what difference does it make where it comes from? The attributes would be the same. A guy with sudden scoring syndrome. Etienne has that. Take him or no, but if he’s there at 30 he has to be a consideration.

He had the Bills not tender them, allow them to become UFA's then re-sign them.

No guarantees Zaven Collins or someone like him would be available when the Bills pick or that they will be good. We know Milano can play. And the contract was good value too.

I'm all in on signing both positions. Here's the thing: Is Samuel better at being a playmaker than the available edge rushers are at getting after the passer? I like Dupree and Barrett and Lawson, etc. Will they be more impactful for the defense than Samuel would be for the offense?

You don't sign a WR. You sign a playmaker with a versatile skill set and game changing speed. That's Samuel. I'm not saying grab Will Fuller or Corey Davis or Nelson Agholor. The Bills chances of beating KC without more of these types of players are not high.

I'm looing for O line to be addressed. I think CB comes in the draft. DL could be draft also. I think offense will be where the $ piece in FA comes from.

I don't know that a dominant pass rusher is available. There are several good ones. I don't think Beane will overpay for one of them. They went and got Diggs for Allen. They tried to get Olsen before he signed with the Seahawks. And after seeing KC up close twice, I think Offense will be the big signing. Because even great defense is ultimately outmatched by KC more often than not. The Bills need to score to beat KC. Diggs can score from anywhere on the field. They just let Smoke go; McKenzie hasn't been re-signed. So who else fits that description in terms of speed? They don't have it. They can't sit tight l on O. It's why folks getting mad about suggestions of Etienne at 30 doesn't make sense. The Bills NEED playmakers/chess pieces that have sudden scoring syndrome. They are at the next level right now and the next level from there goes through a team that has many sudden scoring syndrome players.

I think Davis is going to be very good for them. And I wouldn't be upset if they rolled with him. But the tea leaves don't support that thinking. You get Samuel, run 4 wide, or 3 wide and put Samuel at RB for some plays. Bease is out in a year or two. Once he goes, put Samuel there and then Davis can take over the 2 spot. However, it's done, I think we see the Bills add a playmaker or two to that offense in the next week.

I think he gone.

I've been that dumb young guy at one time. Wouldn't surprise me if that were the case.

They would have intel on him for sure. I get where you're coming from. I think the fact Beane was in on Watt tells us he will go hunting for the right piece. To me, you go all in on surrounding Josh Allen. The D might be the focus at top of the draft. It's all a matter of what Beane sees as the right piece. Is the more impactful piece on Offense or Defense as compared to what might be available at their draft positions. I could see Samuel and one of these OG's that have been released as opposed to Mongo being re-signed. Beane is looking to upgrade, not just plug in. If Mongo wants 8 per year, for instance, maybe Beane would rather take that 8 million add a couple more and pay Joe Thuney. The Super Bowl window is open. There's a reason guys are getting let go and some of their own haven't been re-signed yet.

Beane talked about needing to get faster. They let Brown go. He was their fasted on offense. I would be shocked if they spent 10 mil on a traditional WR; for example if they went after Fuller or Golladay or Davis, etc. Samuel is not that player. He brings the speed and athleticism the Bills want. He's younger than Smoke so it's more of an investment and he is a versatile player, which also fits what the Bills like in their players. He can line up at multiple spots as a WR and he can also be given legit carries from the backfield. He's a playmaker/chess piece more than a WR. Think of him like that. He's the type of player that helps you beat KC.

You aren't the only one. He started to figure it out and he was definitely flashing.

Other players have badmouthed Roethlisberger. And he has badmouthed others in his way. Maybe they're right. Most players think highly of themselves. That's how they've gotten as far as they have. He's been a very good player in the league.

Funny how many seem to complain about the 1 techniques on the team. The run game issues are not solely on the 1 tech and that position will never have big stats. That's not the gig. Also funny folks think the men who run a team as their livelihood would keep Butler over Jefferson just because. I gather they thought Butler played better, stats be damned. Also, he took that pay cut.

Curtis Samuel. I've got a feeling... He can play slot, boundary, can line up as a RB too. Would be their fastest guy on offense who can stretch the field and run varied routes. 24 or 25 years old. Don't think he's costing more than 10 or so. Because of his versatility, speed and age (he can grow with Diggs and Allen). He fits what they want and need athletically. I think this is one of the guys they go after.

Butler was playing out of position. I think he’s more of a 3 technique. They might keep him and lose Jefferson.

2 and 3. 4 - 7 are day three picks.
