The bills are tight lipped. I can not recall any of these rumor mill FA scenerios ending with a player signed by Buffalo.

I assume this is the end for Perry.

I think the draft is setup to be offensive. There are 20 skill players that are in play in rd 2. Day 2 they can easily add some peices.

Up the middle was an issue. Depth at Dt has greatly improved.

I would like to see them add Melvin gordan.

Right. 22 was a spot that I thought they would trade down or up.

Correct. I think the scouting department has done great on late picks. No visits, not pro days due to the virus imo alters their belief in knowing guys that could fit. I assume they have a handful of guys but this isnt the year to snag 6 plus day 3 players.

1. No one knows what teams also made offers for Hopkins. 2. What impact player is there at 22? 3. Cost is relative. Having the picks gained from the Bodine and Teller trades greatly eases the cost. The value cart formaula says the value of the picks added up to 18. 4. One of the teams Buffalo outbid for Diggs was New England.

A combination of him and Klein replace Alexander.

I agree. Beane has shown that he fills every hole in FA and enters the draft full BPA. I dont think they go to the draft with Singeltary Yeldon and Perry as the backs onnthe roster.

I suspect the last piece added this week is a Rb. I think it could be Gordan, Hyde, or Freeman.

At 22 who is the dynamic edge? Who is the bookend OT. The top Wrs will surely be gone, the versitle hybrid defenders will be gone. For a while now I thought 22 was really no mans land. Basiclly, paying rd 1 money for a day 2 player.

This year Buffalo had 2 5th rounders, and 3 6th rounders. After the trade Buffalo still has 7 picks. The 4th round pick is for 2021. The draft is important. Beane out bid 2 other teams for a #1 wr and didnt mortgage the draft to do it.

I felt like at 22 Buffalo misses out on a blue chip prospect. Trading it made sense. Getting a wr to grow with Allen was a big need. Diggs is that. I still think the offense needs more weapons and day 2 has multiple. Whether its Hamler, Claypool, Higgins or a top Rb those are all better picks at 54 not 22.

Buffalo still has 7 picks in the 2020 draft. By getting something for 2 players who were getting cut the Bills could afford to pay a precieved premium. The 4th is 2021 and by then Id suspect moves have been made and that pick is replaced.

Teams that gave the offense trouble manned up outside. Baltimore, NE come to mind. Diggs in those situations is a difference maker.

Filling the void that Alexander left was a big lowkey need. Klein fits the mold. Steps in as Sam. Give them some flexability with Edmunds in sub packages.

Beane and the Bills in general dont have alot of leaks. Before FAs were not leaked until they were on planes to Buffalo. Buffalo is tight lipped, so if the player or agent dont leak who knows??

So she knows nothing. Could take some time. Could change.

Makes sense. He is a decent second Te. Knox looks like the starter and has potential to be good.

Im not a fan of Higgins. Im not a scout though. Height, weight, speed there are better prospects imo. Route running there are better prospects. In terms of production there are more prolific wrs. I dont see him as a day 1 player, but him paired with another wr isnt a bad idea.

Outside of a few late rd flyiers, they havent brought in a top prospect yet. Pro scouting, they did a very good job of identify Jon Brown and Cole Beasley last year. First year under Beane was more house cleaning and cleaning the cap mess. Last year with all the addition the team seemed to hit more than they missed in FA. The draft was also solid. Im curious to see what they covet in a wr. This year you can really pick your flavor with how deep it is.

Im curius to see who they bring in FA. I believe they go edge or LB in round 1. Day 2 i think they get multiple skill players on offense.

Simple as out going FA vs in coming FA. Players, cut dont count into it the formula. If Buffalo hits on this offseason. Ie draft and FA, I think this will be the last year Buffalo has more incoming vs outgoing Fa.

Allen didnt fit into any of their models. From a pure numbers perspective Allen is suppose to bust and have 0 NFL success based off their projections. They will never talk about his strengths if there is even a bit of weakness. PFF is grasping for straws with Allen at this point.
