Keon Coleman -> 0 Taylor Rapp -> 9 Chase Claypool -> 14 (lol) Cole Bishop -> 24 Deon Jones -> 45 Dawuane Smoot -> 94 (I thought this was Carter’s number?) No other rookies yet.

No way 🤣😂 Claypool Curse confirmed.

Honestly, Smoot may be one of the better run defending DEs after Groot and AJ.

Smooth has Shaq Lawson replacement vibes.

They just need to meet their head case quota.

Claypool is only 25 and Uber talented. Also the Claypool curse is a thing.

They are all exceptional cover LBers, that isn’t by mistake!

There was also an uptick in 3 LB deployment last year, I suspect this trend continues.

Bills now have 9 or 10 LBers under contract for the summer, up from 8 last year. 2 is a pretty significant increase…

Still is exceptional in coverage To be fair, every LB is a backup when you have Milano and the Nard-dog.

For only using 2 LB, we have a TON. - 29 years old - 8 starts last 2 seasons, 3 last year - Still managed 6 PBUs, a sack, and 4 TFL - QBs only completed 54% (13/24) against him. - Allowed a QB rating of sub 45 - Incredibly productive earlier in his career. - 5 missed tackles last year (12%)

Why would we get rid of Spencer Brown?

Beane does cook in the 5th round!

Bad hamstrings and a heart condition. I think it’s still a long shot for him to have any kind of meaningful role, but he’s talented. Like an above poster mentioned, if he can gun or return kicks he could make it. Otherwise he’s a safe bet for the practice squad. Teams also stopped playing single high against us. Cook should help that return, but taking away Josh’s deep game has been defensive’s priority.

Stevie Johnson and Coleman have randomly shouted him out. Beane and McD have brought him up as well. Every summer we have a darling who spends the year in Buffalo working out, so we will see come TC and more importantly preseason. Could he be the new Isaiah McKenzie?

Any ideas when Rookie Minicamp will be?

Whatever we think the Bills will get, raise it a round. I think we learned that the hard way.

I think everyone is totally misinterpreting the term transition. The team is evolving, which is what good teams do. Their offense will look different and their defense will look different. This team can evolve and still be a juggernaut, and that’s what I expect.

I’ll add this here: Joe Marino had a guest on his show who talked about the Coleman pick. He openly admitted he immediately texted Joe “I don’t like this pick for you,” but then studied up Joe Brady’s offense more the following day. That guest, who I don’t believe was a Bills fan, changed his mind after what he saw from what Brady’s style is and said Coleman is a perfect fit.

TBD in the summer time is basically a giant LARP battle

Meh, I get depth purposes but I really don’t think Kincaid is coming off the field much. I wouldn’t be surprised, at all, to see 86 as one of the slot receivers in 4-WR sets. Even 5-wide I can see Cook or Knox being the fifth option.

Shorter was a 5th, Cephus a 5th, Hamler a 2nd, Isabella a 2nd.

Russel Bodine. I don’t think Pats have traded with us since lol The guy to watch at WR4 is Hamlin, but in all reality if we go out with 4-wide and no inline TE, it will likely be Kincaid in one of the slot positions. Even in 5-receiver sets, it’s probably Cook or Knox as the 5th target.

Definitely possible! Samuel will have more opportunities in the backfield as well. Are we all in agreement Kincaid is the top target next year?

For Samuel to have 1000 yards we’d have to have injuries to Kinciad, Shakir, and probably Coleman. He’s definitely capable of having one of those Stevie Johnson or John Brown type “#1 by default” 1000 yard seasons, but man we don’t want that scenario
