This. If you don't like this signing, you don't know the biggest issue with Harris. His health. We need a backup in case he goes down. Otherwise, the short distance running back would be be Nyheim Hines or James Cook.

For me, I think this team still needs a nice DT and DE for the rotation. After that, I feel very confident in the team, but wouldn’t say there was ever a “gap.”

You’re fun.

The poll results are hilarious. Nobody has any idea. I sure hope McDermott does because this is the 2nd year in a row he’s getting his guy with a third rounder to address the linebacker position.

We’ve got a pretty interesting normal distribution curve here that averages out to about a B+. Feels right, given the uncertainty after rd 2.

Let’s see what you all think! Would love to hear your explanations below as well. I’m going B+ as I love the scheme versatility we’re getting on Offense and it feels like we became a significantly better short yardage team over night. A few points dinged off by some very “meh” middle round picks.

I’ve seen a few people suggest this and the practical implication is that Taron Johnson would not play in base defensive sets. So we’d pay a $10M/yr elite nickel corner to not play.

Did somebody say “body transformation” ??? ::McDermott breathing intensifies::

Maybe two Terrel Bernards = one decent linebacker. Can they tape themselves together?

Or… Hold on… Let me see if I can figure out how to do this… Hmm… Trade down?

Do you guys even bother to research this stuff or do you just make something up and assume the worst? 2019 Draft: 1st round: Marquise Brown, N'Keal Harry... no other WRs 2nd round: Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown, Mecole Hardman, DK Metcalf 3rd round: Diontae Johnson, Terry McLaurin

Why am I seeing this loser mentality in every thread? It's ok if you want to trade for DeAndre Hopkins or if you feel Beane has a bad track record in the 2nd round ... but multiple threads have these snarky little comments like "oh boy, can't wait to get another AJ Epenesa this year!!" Every GM misses draft picks... but look at WR's drafted in the 2nd round in the past 4 years alone: - Deebo Samuel - AJ Brown - DK Metcalf - Diontae Johnson - Tee Higgins - Michael Pittman - Chase Claypool - Elijah Moore - Christian Watson Again, totally fine if you like the certainty of trading for Hopkins, but acting like 2nd round picks are "overrated" is insane. Imagine having any of those guys above for cheap across from Diggs for the next 4 years. Now, imagine using the $20M/yr Hopkins is due on a DE/DT/OG/etc. from Free Agency... in ADDITION to still having Deebo, Brown, Higgins, etc. THAT is why 2nd round picks are valuable. Drop the "we never get it right :(" attitude and try a little optimism. 👍

Let’s look at WR drafted in the 2nd round the past few years… AJ Brown, Deebo Samuel, Tee Higgins, DK Metcalf, George Pickens … I’m sure there are more. Are we really going to pretend that the only way to get an all-pro WR is to trade away our draft picks to get one? Or is it that you guys are completely done with Beane and think he can’t find us a good WR? This is insane.

I actually think it’s the other way around. People overvalue veteran players they can sign for just as expensive in Free Agency. If you hit on a draft pick, you get 4-5 years of the top player for cheap AND you can go get a DHop type guy for $20M/yr in free agency.

I’d be equally concerned if they got Jerxin Smith-Njiblett

Fun fact, AJ Epenesa had more sacks last year than Chris Kelsay had in any year of his 10 year career. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KelsCh21.htm

I know this is a complicated concept, but ... stay with me here ... third round picks are cheaper than expensive free agent offensive weapons. With that third round pick ... again, buckle up because this is tough ... they can draft a Wide Receiver and then layer on other free agents after June 1st who don't count against their comp formula.

Excited if drafted in 1st round: 1. JSN Meh if drafted in 1st round: 2. Zay Flowers Excited if trade back and drafted in early 2nd: 3. Quentin Johnson 4. Marvin Mims 5. Jordan Addison - very overrated ... not understanding the love, but 2nd round is better value 6. Tank Dell - my favorite prospect ... love his get-off Meh if drafted in the late 2nd: 7. Jalyn Hyatt 8. Rashee Rice 9. A.T. Perry 10. Cedric Tillman

They’ve known each other since they were 8 and have dated since before he was drafted. Give the two of them some grace and show a little respect for our guy and his longtime girlfriend.

I don’t necessarily want the Bills to trade for him, but if anyone didn’t watch the Cardinals on Hard Knocks this season, Budda was the heart and soul of that team. Anyone saying “not a process guy” or “not a character guy” knows nothing about him. On a related note, the Cardinals might be a dumpster fire the next 5-10 years with all of the terrible signing and drafting they’ve done.

Since you’re the second person to mention these two guys, I’ll address it. DeSean Jackson and Devonta Smith both have elite physical traits. The way they get open is nobody can touch them. Addison doesn’t have that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but comparing Addison to a player who runs 4.35 is like comparing Isaiah McKenzie to DK Metcalf.

Something about Jordan Addison doesn’t feel right. With that slender frame, I think he’s gonna get pushed around at the NFL level and be a 3rd WR at best.

Honestly, I wish this thread was just called "Terry Pegula is not cheap" ... That's what the twitter poll was about and it's something to be happy about. Doesn't seem necessary to further drag our deceased owner, who founded the team and helped it survive in Buffalo for decades, in the same thread.

So ... we're officially in the "Epensa can go to ILB too" portion of the thread ... Welp, I'm done here!

If we're going to ignore the 7 page thread I made on this exact same topic a week prior to this one, can we at least merge the two?
