Kirby Jackson

He will 100% go for 2 1sts plus more. He’s, arguably, the best pass rusher in the world. Pass rush and #1 WR are the most coveted positions outside of QB. That’s what Justin Jefferson would cost too. You win with stars and generational players. Garrett isn’t Bradley Chubb (who went for a 1, 4, and Edmonds for a 5th). Garrett is generational. I’ll wager whatever you want that they get 2 first rounders plus more. I don’t know exactly where it’ll end but that is absolutely the comp. The Bears traded 2 firsts, a 3rd & 6th for Mack, a 2 and a 7. This compensation will be more. Our fan base has a history of overrating our own players (see any WR thread prior to last week) and underrating other players in the league (someone last week said that they didn’t want Davante Adams taking snaps from Mack Hollins). Myles Garrett is a HOF pass rusher in his prime. Based on this we are overrating the foot injury too: https://www.ankle-footspecialist.com/blog/myles-garretts-injured-foot With all of that being said, I don’t think that the Bills are the destination. The Lions feel like the ideal place. Za’Darius Smith would fit the Bills though.

Have fun everyone!! Super jealous of y’all going to this game. Hopefully you have a great time!!

That may not be enough. The conversation starts with 2 1sts and more. The Bills having a late 1st puts them in position where they may have to add a 2nd. I don’t think Garrett is a realistic target but that’s the price if he moves. They absolutely will get multiple 1sts.

Then we strongly disagree. His stats are well ahead of both MVP seasons. He’s currently the betting favorite.

Well of course it isn’t over. At the same time, it’s reasonable to have a list of the leaders at this point. Through 7 games, Lamar Jackson is the MVP.

I don’t know if you were chastised for the cost in draft picks or for the thought that DE was a bigger need than WR. That wasn’t a reasonable opinion prior to Cooper. Obviously Garrett is an elite player. He may be the best defensive player in football and plays a very important position. If you had a chance to get him, who cares what it costs. You’d be the Super Bowl favorite. I don’t know much about these injury issues people are talking about. If he’s injured, you can’t make that big offer.

If you aren’t starting with 2 1sts and more, you aren’t a destination for Myles Garrett.

This was, by far, his best game IMO. He looked dangerous and more comfortable. Having Cooper next to him will open things up for Keon.

I love these threads and watching what people think is “realistic.” 😂😂 “I’d give them a 2nd and Hamlin.” 😂😂 The offer, if you want Garrett, 2025 1st, 2025 2nd, 2026 1st, 2025 4th & Kaiir Elam. Something like that feels fair but still probably isn’t enough as the Bills will be picking at the end of the round.

Love Cheers!! I still watch it every weekday at 6 & 6:30AM. That show is still so funny.

2nd year but point taken…

Rudolph is better than Levis IMO. Levis would have made more plays and more mistakes. Rudolph will be steady (even though he isn’t good). If the Bills make mistakes tomorrow the Titans can hang around. With Levis in, they would have made too many mistakes regardless.

I don’t disagree. That’s just what Kuharsky responded to someone that asked on Twitter.

Apparently they are saying it is from “injury.”

It was meant to distract the fan base. Instead of saying, “our WRs are trash and never open.” The spin was, “we don’t need to force the ball to one guy.” It was a load of crap that most intelligent fans saw right through. Fortunately it only lasted 6 games and they were 4-2 in that span. Now they can have Amari Cooper eat twice and Mack go hungry.

“The house that handies built.”

Why play Hamlin when you can get older, cantankerous Hamlin?

This is exactly why I always advocate for more speed. Think about Deonte Harty. He was not good in a Bills uniform. He also was CRUCIAL to winning the division. He had the longest punt return in Bills history, resulting in a TD, to beat Miami by 7. If he fair catches that ball, the Bills start at their own 5. What happens if they have to punt? Are they even a wild card?

Diggs is still the better player (although that gap isn’t huge). For THIS year alone, I’d still say Diggs. Moving forward, taking the cap hit, getting the pick, and clearing the deck, all while getting Cooper, will be better imo. The Bills were also able to do this in a year where they are already 4-2 & still in control of the division. Sometimes you have to take a step back to take 2 steps forward. In this case, the passing game took a step back for 6 weeks but the team did not. At 4-2, with this schedule, they’re actually a game ahead of where I thought they’d be at this point. Everything is still in front of them and they’re a much better team than they were when they took the field Monday. I also think, that the Bills will extend Cooper for 2-3 years if this goes well. His game feels like it will age well (as does Stef’s). Guys that are technicians age better than guys that win with pure athleticism.

There’s Bar Bill there now as well. If you’re looking to feed people wings that’s probably your best bet but it’ll be tough to accommodate that many.

Yeah, it’s high on the list of needs. I was trying not to rank them, just kind of listing areas where they could improve. Bass has lost his confidence and everyone but McDermott seems to have lost confidence in him. Hopefully it doesn’t burn the Bills.

As crazy as it may have seemed a couple of months ago, 11-6 almost certainly wins this division. 10-7 might even get it done. The start for the Bills/Dolphins/Jets has the Bills in firm control at this point.
