HIT BY SPIKES

Why? Great Body. Very Athletic. Well liked in the locker room. The football instincts of a Pop Warner player. NO way was he worth (to the Bills) the $18M/yr the Bears paid him. What the Bills will miss is NOT preparing in advance for his eventual departure.

It was worth a shot given his size however perhaps it is time to move on by drafting a LT in the first two rounds next year who can start immediately as a RT and move over to LT when it is time for Dion to move on.

W-O-W!!! 25 years. In a previous life, I would have here during the first couple of years. Who was the man back then? Lord of the Gun?

Alabama's 1DT Jordan Davis Wake Forest's G/C Zak Tom

The Bills will trade up by trading their 1st round and 3rd round picks and then draft Alabama's 1DT Jordan Davis.

Very well said however drafting OL is simply not sexy enough for the average Bills fan. Any fat guy will do for the OL. You can find them at Duff's Anchor Bar or even Gabriel's Gate.

So tired of this fan crap. A WR in the first round and a RB in the second. I am out children. Ask mom to tuck you in.

No dreadlocks here. This is me...

The LA Chargers are going to move back to San Diego in protest over this draft.

The LA Chargers are still willing to trade their entire 2022 remaining draft picks for a 2nd runs pick.

I NEVER envisioned the Bills trading down rather than up however with NOT one OL listed among the 15 poll options -- WTF? -- I agree with a trade down.

Idiots

In the real draft they won't.

CRAP!!! 1 hour and 45 minutes in the dentist chaIr on a back molar and now I can't make my Chargers pick. Oh well. I would have taken a 1st and a 2nd and traded back a 4th if necessary to trade down. The Chargers are a solid team with very few needs. Chargers want two rookie OL out of the first 3 rounds and don't have a 2nd round pick. They want to protect their young Franchise QB investment by giving him a rock solid OL. An OL that not only protects the QB and gives him the time to pass however also forces its will to run the ball when the team needs to run the ball late in the game. The Bills look for their OL at the Anchor Bar, Duff's or my personal favourite Gabriels's Gate. A trade down would do that for the Chargers. I like Cross for the Chargers. I don't like him for the Bills. The Bills need OGs and not OTs right now. So unless one of the managers is willing to accept this offer, the Chargers are done until the 3rd round... THE CHARGERS ARE WILLING TO TRADE THEIR 3RD, 4TH, 5TH AND 6TH ROUND PICKS FOR ANY 2ND ROUND PICK IN THIS YEAR'S DRAFT

Just so potential trade partners know what the Chargers intend to do at #17 if there is not a trade down, there is only the Jets pick before the Chargers pick and WRs Williams, Olave and Wilson are still undrafted. Justin Hubert needs targets more than Josh Allen does, so the Chargers will simply draft one of the WRs that remain after the Jets pick. So if you covet one of those WRs, I suggest you package your 1st round draft pick along with your second round pick and make an offer quickly. Yes, other offers have already been made to the Chargers for the #17 pick.

Take your time with the pick Jets. I have a dentist appointment at 10:00 AM ET and would love to wait until after the appointment to make the Chargers pick to allow as much time as possible to make a trade down.

Given the Chargers have no 2nd round draft pick due to their previous trade with Chicago for Mack, they will patiently wait until the last possible second for a trading partner to trade down from the 17th overall pick. Why wppete would give a thumbs down to my simple post announcing the Chargers desire to trade down is unclear. Then again, I don't post here very often and couldn't really give a crap why. Use your words if you are capable. The Chargers are open for business.

Tru dat. Then there will be those here who wouldn't dream of trading the Bill's "Defence QB". Not sure what Edmunds they are watching but I respect their opinion even if I don't agree with it. If I am the Bills, I make that trade if Jordan Davis is still on the board and then I draft a MLB in the 2nd round. No more decision to extend Edmunds. Star is replaced. I see it as a win-win.

OK. That eliminates the Bills being a trade partner because the Bills have no GM. I was attempting a feeler offer in advance to the whole polling board here. Obviously, the Chargers are open for business.

Virgil, if I understand the 3 hour rule and the current late time, given the Chargers want to trade down, I will be making my draft pick tomorrow hoping for that offer you can't refuse trade offer.

Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball's current mock draft: 17. Los Angeles Chargers: Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia The Chargers could stand to upgrade their run defense, which Davis would do instantly. He would be an asset to plug the line, eat up blockers, and let the linebackers run free. In the pass rush, Davis could help absorb blockers to create more one-on-one opportunities for Jerry Tillery. Some league sources are extremely high on Davis, but I also know some area scouts who were not projecting him to the first round if he had entered the 2021 NFL Draft and have some concerns that he might be a one-trick pony for the NFL. The 6-foot-6, 340-pound Davis is a mountain of a man with unique speed and athleticism. Team sources compare him to Albert Haynesworth and John Henderson. Davis had an excellent game against Clemson to open 2021. He was a beast at the point of attack and led the Bulldogs' tremendous run defense against the Tigers. Davis notched three tackles and a sack, but the numbers don't illustrate how big of a force he was for Georgia. He recorded 30 tackles and two sacks in 2021. In 2020, Davis collected 16 tackles and one sack. He had 2.5 sacks and 18 tackles as a sophomore after recording 25 tackles and 1.5 sacks during his freshman season. https://walterfootball.com/draft2022charlie_1.php

I think you are being too dismissive with respect to the salary issue. The Bills exercised that 5th year option and took on the salary for one year. If you look at the draft pick value chart, the Bills would need to give up a ton to move up 8 spots in the first round. Who says the Bills would be targeting a corner with that pick? I can think of a few other positions if the right player is still available.

Here are my two suggestions... 2nd round with possible trade up packaging our 2nd round pick with one of our 6th and 7th round picks Devin Lloyd, ILB, Utah Height: 6-3. Weight: 235. Arm: 33.00. Hand: 9.50. 40 Time: 4.66. Bench: 25. Vertical: 35. Broad: 10-6. Projected Round (2022): 1-2. 3/26/22: Lloyd amassed 111 tackles, eight sacks, one forced fumble, four interceptions and six passes defended in 2021. Team sources who like Lloyd say he is big, long and athletic. They feel he has good instincts, but is not overly twitchy. He is physical and has good length to play off blocks. Lloyd made some impressive plays in coverage and as a rusher in 2021. He has a quality skill set and looks like a safe pick to be a quality starter. If he doesn't go in the first round, Lloyd should at least be a high second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. 7/17/21: Lloyd flashed in 2019, logging 6.5 sacks with 91 tackles for the Utes. He wasn't as good in 2020, but he still flashed on occasion. Lloyd needs to return to his 2019 form to have a shot at the pros.

Quay Walker, ILB/LB, Georgia Height: 6-4. Weight: 240. Arm: 32.63. Hand: 9.25. 40 Time: 4.52. Vertical: 32. Broad: 10-2. Projected Round (2022): 1-2. 3/26/22: Team sources think Walker's play was a bit off in early going of 2021, but he finished the season playing well. He has the tools physically, but he did not always play up to them during his collegiate career. In 2021, he recorded 49 tackles, a 1.5 sacks and a pass broken up. Walker has a good combination of height, weight and speed. That was given proof with his excellent workout at the combine. 7/17/21: In 2020, Walker was a steady linebacker next to Monty Rice and did a solid job of defending the run. Walker's tackle total will probably increase in 2021 because Rice is in the NFL. Walker also could benefit from playing behind an excellent defensive line.

Just sayin'....

It is my understanding that the Bills draft pick at #25 will be determined by a poll among TSW members. As such, as General Manager of the LA Chargers, I have no one specific poster to speak to with respect to a trade between the Chargers and the Bills. Therefore, it makes sense to make a trade proposal to the entire board to discuss now prior to the Chargers pick at #17. I propose the following trade: (a) The Chargers trade the 17th overall pick to the Bills; and (b) The Bills trade the 25th overall pick plus Tremaine Edmunds to the Chargers. The logic is that the Chargers like Edmunds and are looking to improve the middle of their D at the second level now that they have acquired Mack. Edmunds is on his 5th year option rookie contract so he comes with free agency flight risk however the Chargers are prepared to lock Edmunds before the season starts. He has made 2 Pro Bowls and is the athletic LB they seek. The TSW board can figure out the logic of who the Bills would want to draft at #17. Unlike with Josh Allen, the Bills have not yet extended Edmunds. I can suggest 2 true MLBs that would start for the Bills that will be in all likelihood be available in the 2nd round when the Bills draft or could be obtained by combining the Bills 2nd round pick with one of the Bills two 6th and/or two 7th round picks (only 4 rookies can possibly make this Bills roster and that may have to be with one drafted punter i.e, the picks will be wasted given the current strength of the Bills roster). Thoughts?
