  2. Chris Brown‏Verified account @ChrisBrownBills 27s28 seconds ago Per Pro Football Focus, Teller has been 1 of highest graded guards for the last 4 years. His run block success & pass block efficiency both ranked in the top 10 among guards in 2017.

  10. Dude.....even the guys like Mayock are saying it was a reach. Not just us. They are drafting for their system, which is fine.
  11. I think that was a reach, but whatever. They are taking guys that fit their system....
  12. Andy SlaterVerified account @AndySlater Bills are taking CB Taron Johnson, Weber State with #121 pick. #NFLDraft
  13. I'd love to see Hurst or Crosby here.
  14. Hoping the Bills can get themselves in a position soon to do some of the same. Stock up on higher picks the following year. Ideally the Bills can do this in the first 3 rounds and accumulate extra first and 2nd round picks. It's a smart way to do business. Lucky for us, the Pats* aren't the best drafting team in the world.
  15. It's about the leadership, the effort, the motor, the passion for the game you moron. Of course they do different things and have different roles. Wow.....
  16. Love getting Kyle Williams 2.0 at 96...... A little surprised he was still there, but that's great for us.
  17. Andy Slater‏Verified account @AndySlater 43s44 seconds ago Bills with #96 pick are taking DL Harrison Phillips, Stanford. #NFLDraft
  18. That's too bad..... I know a lot of Bills fans that were hoping to get him at 12.....
  19. Well, the first round wasn't all bad.......  I'm $50 richer!  Easy money!!!!  HA!  While I guaranteed the top 10....even as high as the top 5, even I didn't think Mayfield would go first overall.

     

    I take cash or money order!  :)

    sven, you should take that bet

    And I have.....

  20. Look....I have been as vocal as anyone on this board in my desire to stay away from this kid. But, what I have been consistent in saying is that it isn't because of his prospects of being a good QB in this league, it's been because he needs more work than the other QBs in the draft. He needs to get to a level of consistency that many of the other QBs already have. That's the biggest concern. In breaking him down during the pre-draft process, the biggest issue with him is not his accuracy......it's his footwork. Far too many times his footwork was jacked up and he was throwing off balance or off his back foot. That led to the completion percentage being low because his throws were too inconsistent. HOWEVER, if you watch him when he is at his best, when he is throwing with the proper mechanics, in rhythm and on time, he was as ACCURATE as any QB in this draft. The problem was, he didn't do that nearly enough and not as much as the other QBs in this draft did and therefore his completion percentage suffered. There were other things that didn't help him either. His offensive design for one was very basic and was based on a vertical passing game. His WRs, especially this past season were, let's just say, not NFL caliber. And I'm not sure he has the best QB coaching, and coaching in general around him. As I said, I was not a big fan of drafting him because I look at him as a bit of a project and as someone that will take longer to see the field. But, make no mistake about it, my preference not to draft him and to go another direction had nothing to do with the talent he has. When he is on, and everything is on time and on rhythm, he was as good as there was in this draft. There were times he looked like Dan Marino. But because of the inconsistency with his footwork, there were also many times he didn't even look like a first round prospect. Us as Bills fans need 1 thing with this pick. We need our coaching staff to get through to him and fix his footwork. If they can make him consistent with his footwork, most of the issues he had will take care of themselves. He will also need better coaching so he can anticipate when and where throws need to be made so he can be better going through his progressions. He does leave the pocket early a lot, but I do think that fixing his footwork and rhythm may help a bit with that. It may take him longer than others in this draft, but if he does figure it out, he could be special. Will he be able to figure it out, though? That's the question.
  21. While you never like to have to give up picks to trade up, all Bills fans should be pumped about this pick. This kid is a beast and could be one of the best LBs in the entire league for the next decade. There were many that had him as a top 10 talent in this draft, so to get him at 16 is awesome, despite having to give up the extra picks.... Great pick here.
  22. OK.... He was not my first choice. He wasn't even my 2nd or 3rd choice. I believe he is a project QB that will take at least a year or 2 to develop. I firmly believe the Bills should have gone in a different direction, not because I think the other QBs in this draft have more potential, but because they were closer to actually playing in this league. Just tired of waiting to see good QB play in Buffalo. I will say this....Josh Allen, if he reaches his full potential, could be the best QB in this draft. He has all of the physical tools you dream about a QB having. But how long will it take for us to see these tools? I don't know. I watched every game he played this last season and he just has so far to go to be ready to play in this league. His ceiling is higher than any QB in this draft. When he's on, he looks like Dan Marino out there. I'll give him that. But his floor, if he never develops, is Kyle Boller or JaMarcus Russell. Not sure I have ever seen such a gap between the very best and very worst a guy could be. I hope on behalf of all of Bills Mafia that he reaches his ceiling and does it sooner than later. We're all family here, so welcome to Buffalo, Josh. I hope and pray you have a very long and successful career here.
