Terrific balance! You can't teach that.

I hear you there. I won't speak for anyone else, but my concern isn't, "who covers for Allen if he fails?" My concern is, "who covers for Allen if he gets injured? I wouldn't say QB2 is a huge need. But I'd say it is a need. Can Barkley win a few games if needed? I'm not sure.

Dugger's college competition is what worries most people out there, me included. But damn, it is fun watching his highlights. Looks like a man playing against a PeeWee football team. I'm going to be keeping an eye on his career even if he's not with the Bills.

He IS what many want Duke to be. Big, fast receiver who can high-point the ball.

This team certainly looks better on paper. Now it's up to the coaches to get them to play as a team. I believe they will. Success still hinges on Josh Allen taking a big step this year. His willingness to be coaches and make changes to his game gives me hope that he'll improve. With this roster, we don't need him to be great just yet. But he becomes a genuinely "good" quarterback, this team will win a lot of games. He's not there yet, so winning the division is not a foregone conclusion. But it is a pretty decent bet.

They got rid of so many players last year. But that core played hard for Flores down the stretch. They got better as the season moved along.

Agreed. I'm not as bullish, as many others are, about our chances to take the division. We should be in the hunt. But the pats wiil still be tough (is Dalton that much of a step down from the current Brady). And I expect the dolphins to be a lot better next year. You'll hear no sh!+ talking from me about the current state of the pats. Though I'm hoping we stomp them into the ground.

Am I alone in wanting him to stay in New England? I want to beat the Patriots with Brady. This isn't a guarantee that we would have, but that's what I would like to see.

I still think about Sam Cowart sometimes. What a damn shame his injury was. He didn't look like he would be good, he looked like he was going to be great. We'll never know. That last game against the Bucs...wow. He was a grown man playing football against a bunch of boys. Cheers to Sam Cowart.

Agree completely. These guys are so slow. And I'm not just talking the 40. They look slow during the game. Epenesa is crazy strong which helps him against college kids. But he moves like Godzilla and pro linemen will control him with technique and strength. Just my opinion.

Your mock has us missing out on all the guys I would want at 22. Except Mims. I'd be okay with trading down in that scenario.

I can see free agency being pretty similar to that. But I just don't see why people are high on Gross-Matos. He seems to play slow. And he gets sacks when the lineman misses a block. Just my opinion. But that's what I saw of Matos. I would hate the pick... Until he proved me wrong.

I seem to remember reading that the new CBA includes changes to the tagging system to make it more player friendly.

Agree completely. Ruggs and Mims are my 2 favorite wrs. I think they're the 2 best fits for the Bills. Despite his size, Ruggs had a great catch radius. This is what Allen, who struggles with accuracy at times, needs. Mims has jump ball skills and also makes tough catches. We all saw how Allen tried getting Duke the ball. Mims is what we all wish Duke could be.

6 seasons, 32 sacks. Highest sack number was 9.5. He wants top 5 money?

I agree with you. But I was referring to Beasley apparently being pissed when the cowboys signed Cobb instead of extending him.

Clowney...

Mayock in Vegas will go a long way to providing an answer to this question. He's been considered one of the better draft pundits for years. I was a fan. Still too early to say. But his surprising pick of Ferrell made it so we would get either Josh Allen 2, or Ed Oliver. For that I'm grateful.

Ruggs is the guy I want. Aside from his 40 time which will be around 4.3, he just plays at a different speed than everyone else. He's a playmaker. If not Ruggs, I hope we get Denzel Mims in the 2nd. Great size and jump ball ability. With Josh Allen's accuracy, we need guys who can make tough catches. Guys who are "open even when they're covered." Ruggs and Mims are those guys.

I'm sure he'd get over it, but I don't think Beasley would like this signing very much.

Agreed. It's the most important position in professional sports. You draft one every year until you find one... then the year after you find one, you draft a potential replacement.

Agreed. The Bills need to sign him before Jalen gets extended.

Glad he's embracing the mafia. But will someone please tell him to use his left arm.

He wants the Bills to be successful... Is that why he stopped Vick from signing here and intervened to get philly to sign him? I'm not saying that Vick would've helped us. But that's not the point.

I don't know. Pitt has less than $2M in cap space. They love, and are great at, drafting LBs. Maybe they let Dupree walk, draft his replacement, and use the money on Minkah.
