  1. I'm happy with the pick over a skill player as I wasn't quite certain they had enough talent on that line for this season. Now it looks like that entire line is revamped save LT which wasn't so bad with a decent player at LG. Dawkins, Spain, Morse, Long, Ford should be the starting five and a huge improvement over last years starters. The run blocking should be fun to watch this season and now Allen should have more time to complete those deep passes he loves to throw. Should be a very much improved offense.
  2. What skill set? To be able to run three NFL routes? The 3-cone drill results from the combine killed him in the draft for teams with GMs that needed something other then a straight line receiver. The guy scored in the bottom 3% of every player tested in the last 25 years. He is still looking for that last cone... The Buffalo Bills learned their lesson from the PX 90 kid in the 2009 draft. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.
  3. All I know is this GM, HC really seem like they know what they are doing vs the GMs, HCs of the past two decades. I can recall reading in post after post about how good Buddy Nix's, Doug Whaley's drafts were so great and how the teams resulting from those drafts had so much more talent then in the past. Now looking back, NO! I don't get the need for that so called #1 WR. Considering... The Bills signed WR John Brown with 4.34 speed at 9 mill per who will compliment Robert Foster for the deep passes...in a 3 year deal. Just hazarding a guess here, but I tend to think that this signing alone is a big upgrade to the Bills WR corps. Then this GM signed WR Cole Beasley away from the Cowboys to fill the slot position like a Wes Welker, Julian Edleman filled for the Patriots. Beasley caught 74.7% of his passes last year which would put him in the LeSean McCoy percentile of receptions, only in the slot and not in the flat or backfield. 14 mill guaranteed tells me this FO wants to give this play a chance to shine in Buffalo's offense. The Bills also signed CFL receiver Duke Johnson, In two CFL seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos, the 25-year-old Williams has 2,294 yards on 135 catches with 15 touchdowns in 31 games. Last season, he led the league with 1,579 receiving yards and tied for the CFL lead in receiving touchdowns with 11. He also had 88 receptions, including 11 for more than 30 yards, on 152 targets. Undrafted signings, Nick Easley, WR Iowa, David Sills,WR WV. After these signings I really don't see the need to draft a so called top WR in the 2019 Draft. Looking at how the NFL combine made DK Metcalf look so great and the guy scored in the bottom 3% of the past 25 years of 3 cone drill... and he is still looking for that last cone. I can't wait to see what this new WR group can do!
  4. Do the Bills currently have a pro bowl DT on the roster in rotation? The Bills could be awaiting for Tampa to outright release him as the Bucs don't want his 13 mill per cap hit. And he is not happy as they are moving to a 3-4 and moving him to DE. The guy might not be the player he was four years ago, still he ranked 21 out of 112 DTs. Find a spot!
  5. Good stuff, love to read this FO finally knows what they are doing!
  6. I'm just happy he didn't land in New England. The answer is, IMHO, that while Josh Allen required some development time he was a gamer that won games without much of a supporting cast at Wyoming his final season. Allen basically carried his team on his shoulders. While the physical comparison is notable between the two. Allen tested off the charts not only physically but also mentally as the kid tested very high on the wonderlic at 37. A score of 20 gives an IQ of around 100. Tom Brady scored a 33. Josh Rosen 29 Sam Darnold 28 Baker Mayfield 25 Lamar Jackson 13 Eli Manning 39 Aaron Rodgers 35 Carson Wentz 40 Big Ben 25 Paxton Lynch 18 Dan Marino 16 RG3 24 Ryan Fitzpatrick 48 Frank Gore 6 Weaknesses Threw 12 touchdowns to nine interceptions over final nine games Had very little control over accuracy during stretches Career completion percentage of 55.8 percent Footwork in the pocket feels heavy Treats slants and short throws like a game of burn-out Needs better feel for proper deep ball trajectory Delayed decision-maker near end zone Inconsistent in developing post-snap plan Too willing to throw it up for grabs under heavy pressure Carries football low and away from frame when scrambling Sources Tell Us "He's a project, but he can move a little bit and his arm is really, really good. He's a draft and develop guy. Personally, I probably wouldn't take him until between (Rounds) 5-7." -- Executive with AFC team https://www.nfl.com/prospects/tyree-jackson?id=32194a41-4361-1082-9c52-07385a4368c9
  7. Good thing too as the fan base had the torches and pitchforks out over that RB pick
  8. Hey, at least they didn't trade up for him. Love the first two picks and the 3rd rounder, meh. We will see.
  9. It's the only thing we can do to keep from vomiting... Tomorrow we will hear Doug Whaley broke into the Bills war room and made that pick with gun in hand.
  10. Devin "Motor" Singletary As a sophomore in 2017, he led all Division I FBS players with 32 rushing touchdowns 33 overall touchdowns scored, and 198 points scored, and finished with 1,920 rushing yards
  11. So, the Pack gets the TE most of us wanted, Did Beane fall asleep?
  12. What? Pre-Draft Analysis Singletary is an undersized back with below-average timed speed, but his tape is impressive. He's a relentless runner with great contact balance, and he excels at picking up yards after contact. He's more quick than fast and he shows good burst through the hole. He's a small target with small hands, and he caught just six passes in 2018.
  13. WTF, how did NE get one spot ahead of Buffalo?
  14. There is still Jace Sternberger Sternberger looks like a bulked-up receiver, and though he has experience playing in-line, he's at his best in the slot. He shows some craftiness as a route runner. He's a reliable pass-catcher and makes plays in traffic. He's a below-average blocker, but he's tough, and he competes
