  1. Devin White is a possibility imo. The Bills would be so athletic at LB that they can stay in their base more than other teams. They’d kick Edmunds to SLB. White is one of the best few players in this draft.
  2. I remember he was the like the 2nd or 3rd highest graded QB ever by scouts inc. He was in the conversation with Luck. Leaf was in the conversation with Manning. It’s crazy to think about in hindsight.
  3. If they are graded a tier higher you 100% take them.
  4. Yep, and that is with the 1st overall pick. RG3 and Leaf are 2 off the top of my head that were legit BPA after the 1st pick. It’s rare though.
  5. One thing to consider regarding the QB is that they will almost never be the BPA. They are ALWAYS overdrafted because of the position value. Punters are on the other end of the spectrum. Positional value is a bit of a factor but less now than its ever been.
  6. I am on this boat and more on it every year. You need talent everywhere and anywhere. Get the best players that you can and break ties with positions of need.
  7. Not sure what your upset about? People are reading too much into this. He came to the Bills because that’s his best chance to make an NFL roster. When you are a FA, especially a guy that’s not in the league, your first concern is a roster spot. That’s #1 on the list of needs. There are ancillary things to consider but nothing is as important as #1. When he looked at the Bills he saw a path. He did the sensible thing. I could see that!! Zay definitely isn’t a lock to make the team.
  8. I guess that we disagree then. I think that they are still looking for a guy at the top of the depth chart (hence the Antonio Brown conversation). I don’t picture them adding a guy to fight for reps. I picture them adding a potential #1.
  9. We are in agreement then. Roberts certainly counts but they COULD carry 7 if he’s one of them. That was my point there. If a guy (like Duke) earns a roster spot it isn’t necessarily at the expense of another WR.
  10. Not sure if that’s sarcasm? At any rate, Roberts won’t play much as a WR and McKenzie is fighting for a roster spot. The spot on the Bills is at the top of the depth chart. That’s why they’ll be taking a guy in the 1st 3 rounds.
  11. Do we really think that it isn’t? It doesn’t mean that he can’t carve out an NFL career (which is what he’s trying to do). He did what ANYONE with a brain would do and went to the place that he was most likely to make the team. This really isn’t complicated
  12. This is where I’m at. Devin White is going to be an absolute star. I’m taking him and kicking Edmunds outside and never looking back.
  13. I’m not buying that (no offense). Duke is a guy that didn’t make it in the NFL. He went to the CFL and played well. He is getting another chance. He went to the team with the worst WR depth chart in the league. It was an easy decision.
  14. He didn’t choose Buffalo because of the fit. He chose Buffalo because he has a shot to make the roster. Let’s be real...
  15. 100% agree I happen to believe they love Oliver. I do too. He’s an elite prospect. If he were gone though, Burns is an option.
  16. I could see Burns. The Bills want pass rush. His bend and explosiveness make him a viable option.
  17. Bojorquez may not make the team. The rest of the ST should improve though
  18. FWIW, I think that Nsekhe is their best OT. That could certainly be their best 5.
  19. It’s possible for sure!! I think that the OG additions ensure that Dawkins remains at tackle but the OL will look WAY different.
  20. This was my thought too. There is CLEARLY a plan. Now, if you don’t like the plan, fine, but it isn’t confusing. They signed: Long, Felciano, Waddle, Nsekhe, Spain and Morse. The plan was to upgrade the OL in FA. They added 2 TEs and 2 WRs as well. They lacked talent on offense and tried to upgrade that.
  21. The OL is close to set. They may add another guy in the mid rounds (tackle maybe) but as it stands now they will be cutting guys that have played a lot. They absolutely aren’t taking an OL early. The plan was clearly to address OL in FA. The Bills signed a top center, 2 surefire starters that we are underrating on here in Spain and Nsekhe, Dawkins still has a spot as well. That leaves 1 open spot (RG) and Long, Teller, Feliciano, Sirles, Boettger, Bodine, Vlad etc... competing for it. Waddle is your swing tackle and a couple of the guys trying for RG as your depth. You are likely keeping 8 (at most 9) OL.
  22. I tend to think that smaller stadiums work better but these leagues prepare for success. I honestly think it’s an ego thing more than anything. These guys don’t want to play in a 20K HS stadium when, if things go well, maybe they get 50k? There are also some technological limitations, specifically in the media rooms. If these leagues ever do get bigger they will need to be able to support the media needs. I think that they “scale up” so that they don’t need to make changes. It’s easier to sell more tickets than to find a new venue, refund and/or relocate what’s sold, and do it again. It doesn’t look good on TV but it is easier logistically. That’s my $.02 anyways...
  23. I’ll take the Jags
  24. I don’t disagree at all with that. It could be as simple paying the players (which may be coming anyways).
