I seriously doubt Williams falls to 9, but it is fun to consider. I do like the author's (do I call the guy doing the mock an author, lol) point about Bush rocketing up boards, that would be great news for Buffalo is Bush goes in the top 8.

My pick would be Fred Taylor. Taylor is ranked 17th all time, had seven 1000 yard seasons and only got one pro bowl nod and a 2nd team all pro in the same year. Zero recognition other than that, criminal.

And, I feel old as hell...

Frank Gore amazes me. To be performing at his age at that position just blows my mind, what an athlete. I'm not really a fan of the signing, would have preferred to get younger at the position, but it's such a trivial amount of money and risk that I don't really care and am just excited at how cool it will be to see Gore play for the Bills.

I’m glad that I’m old enough to not give a ***** about a meme.

I agree with this article, totally. And yes, I wanted Rosen over Allen. After one year, I’m only slightly more optimistic that Allen, Darnold or Jackson are more likely to succeed than Rosen, because it’s way too early to pass judgement on any. I really hope the Fins or Pats don’t strike a deal for him.

Waiting to see how the draft goes. If a top pass rusher slips and we grab him, bye Shaq, if not, might as well keep Shaq around.

Just lucky, I guess.

As an engineer in training, I can assure you that won’t happen. Well, at least not in Canada or the US. I probably shouldn’t be so sure about developing countries, as I’ve heard some horror stories.

I meant well written in terms of readability, it’s like he’s having a conversation with the reader. It’s 2019, grammar and spelling are as dead as chivalry.

I enjoy reading King’s Monday morning articles, they’re always well written and informative.

Is it negative to take a wait and see approach? Are we we all hoping Allen is a franchise guy? Yes. Am I ready to shout definitively that Allen is that guy from the rooftops after one season like TS? No. Same goes for the free agent signings, we’ll see how it goes.

I hate “that look” and the fact I get it despite being 45 mins from the stadium.

I see that point but think that if we improved and the Jets and Fins are still doormats that it would result in maybe a wildcard bid coming out of our division every year. Either way, all that really matters is Allen turning into a solid QB and the Bills becoming good/relevant again.

Yeah, it’s a catch 22. I’d prefer the other three teams stink and the Bills make the dance year after year and use our division opponents like a practice squad. But....I’d also just like to die with at least another home playoff game. God, I hope Allen is the guy.

I don’t follow the logic here. If Josh Allen ends up being a good QB, and the Bills stop being a doormat for NE, why would we want the Jets to be good? How does the Jets being good benefit the Bills? Either the Bills right the ship after two decades of suck our we continue on the cruise.

Don’t know squat about this guy but his last name is fun to pronounce...solid signing in my books.

Barr didn’t want to be leap frogged twice a season by Allen.

Obviously, claiming no FAs will come to Buffalo is an over exaggeration, but I do think there is difficulty in attracting talent to this city and team. Whether the difficulty is warranted or not is kind of besides the point, because I think it exists. Not all talent feels this way, as evidenced by our yearly signings, but I think it’s obviously a factor year in and year out. But hey, why not start a thread to disprove an obvious over exaggeration and not address the salient points of the argument. Because...like button?

Frank Gore is getting 1000 yards!

***** that is a lot of money. I hate the Raiders!

Not getting AB doesn’t really matter to me. But once again being reminded how irrelevant of a franchise/destination Buffalo is annoys me.

The more I think about it the more I like that Beane was willing to ditch all the culture talk for an elite player. I prefer hardworking, nose to the grindstone types, too, but I’m willing to overlook a ‘me first’ diva when they are the best at what they do.

I agree that AJ and Julio are more teams friendly guys but they both want success. Despite all of us on here being fans, can anyone of us say we expect success from this team in the near future? We are all hoping for success but what is a realistic projection for wins next year? What are the chances the Bills win the division? And I’m talking team success, which would rely heavily on the D to move them forward. Why would AJ or Julio entertain playing for this O? McBeane neglected the O so badly it needs a complete overhaul and it’s cornerstone is an unproven QB who may or may not be something. If I’m a desired skill position player, Buffalo and Zona are the absolute last teams I want to go to.

Sal makes a good point, I hope he is correct. But is trading for a big time WR realistic? AB didn’t want to come here and I have a hard time thinking any elite WR would either. I’m not keen on taking Metcalf at 9, but maybe there isn’t much else Beane can do to bring in an elite WR talent.
