I can't imagine a better fit for Allen's skill set.
This. Imo some of the other guys are just slight improvements over Zay Jones. In this draft I would look to add the best deep threat in the draft. Its Metcalf or 3 wrs under 200 pds and barely 5-9. Just watch the simulcast 40. Metcalf picks up speed and by 30 has another gear even the elite guys dont. I mean when does it matter if he can run 50 yards faster than anyone? Twice a game when Allen releases some missiles. That 1 trick added to the 20 yard stop go is all the offense needs. Add a Te now intermediate you have Zay, Foster and who ever else with wide open space because Metcalf will run off coverage. Forcing safties to play 20 plus off the line should open running lanes as well.

Buffalo needs to go oline and defensive front 7 in FA. Imo better value for your money. In the draft you can get better skill players. Imo there is not a Wr worth 5 mil a year let alone 12 to 10 they are projecting.

If we take anything but o-line at No.9 I'll go nuclear. People say every offseason that they'll just magically fix the o-line in free agency and it never happens. It's a deep class for d-line and WR, take them in the 2nd and 3rd.
I think they should go FA Oline and draft skill players. There are no real weapons available in FA. I dont see them looking to Bell or trading for Brown. Go where the players are. Buffalo has to spend money. Defensive front 7 and Oline seems to be the most prevalent this year. Sign 2 or 3 O lineman and a d lineman. I would go skill player 1,2,3. Buffalo needs speed and dynamic athletes on offense.

Harry made his case as the #1 WR prospect in this draft at the combine. He ran well under predictions on his 40 and removed the only concern on him.
He will be a first round pick.
Metcalf shows separation and elite speed. Harry lacks seperation when watching. Metcalf plays to Allen's strengths. With Jones or McKenzie underneath it fits what they want to do. Before his injury Metcalf had as much yards and more TDs than Brown on almost half the targets. If Buffalo had a different player at Qb I understand the skepticism of a percieved 2 route wr. If Buffalo wants a vertical passing attack that they used the second half of the year Metcalf adds that legit deep threat. A guy Allen could have trouble over throwing and a one on one nightmare down feild. The only other player who showed similar abilities in this draft is Hollywood brown and he is 5-9 165.

Counterpoint: I'm a defensive coordinator. Why would I ever let Metcalf get behind my defense if it's well known the only thing he does well is run in a straight line? One trick ponies are not what you draft at 9th overall.
You playing 10 yards off of him or keeping a safety over top? His speed matches his film. He has another gear most dont. Having an elite deep threat paired with Allen makes too much sense.
-
Metcalf showed the speed of wrs 5-9 180. He is 6-3 225. He had the best seperation in college when healthy.
-
If they sign James or a TE draft a TE in rd 2. Fant or Irv Smith have more upside and are more explosive. Modern flex Te.
-
Dont forget the Dumpster fire that was the Bill's offense in all but 1 game Allen didn't start. Improve his weapons and I thinks his stats improve. Last month of the season Allen was a top 5 Fantasy Qb for what it's worth as well. With an undrafted rookie Wr and mid season street FA as his main weapons.
-
I find it increasingly difficult to trade down in a draft short on QBs. Is someone mortgaging picks for Murray or Haskin? No. This is Ej vs Geno. Imo, 1 or both fall to the end of the first or second. Hockinson is in the mix if they stay put as I expect them to. Imo you are getting Oline, Wr, Te. The 4th or 5th Dlineman is not significantly better than the top Olineman or Wr. With those positions needing the most improvement think it's a simple decision.

we need guys who can get open on slants and post patterns that are 15 yards or so...can't go deep all the time and right now our pass blocking is not great
Correct. Having a guy on the feild at all times who can run past their defender opens those passes up. Need more than just foster. I'm not saying add a deep threat only. But, that is a large part of Allen's game. Enhance it. In Fa add a slot wr, or possession Wr. Draft a guy with #1 potential. Adding a deep threat doesnt stop me from doing the rest.
-
Tannehill with Miami is an example of why you dont extend a QB unless he is a franchise QB. The money above replacement QBs warrants handcuffs teams. I expect more teams willing to move on from QBs before giving up second contracts.
-
Yes. Get Allen a deep threat. That's what he is good at. More speed more weapons the better.
-
You also need to have money. Brown like McCoy will be fine if you give him some cash. Brown is signed for 3 years with 0 money besides game checks. That takes alot of teams off the table.
-
Buffalo needs a guy who can catch fades and back shoulder fades. That's, Crabtree. He would be a solid pick up. Allen would prolong his career.

Debatable. Trading up for Zay was horrible, trading up for Tremaine is looking like it was not the right move either. Trading for KB was a disaster. Mike Tolbert as RB2 was a mess. Highly overpaid for Star who was decent, and Trent who was never available and average at best. Going into the year with ONLY Peterman in front of Allen, are you kidding me???!!! Josh Allen was not supposed to start this early, lack of depth and veteran experience at QB thrust him in immediately.
Not paying Richie was idiotic. Opened a hole when they did not have to undercut him. Bodine and Groy as your centers when you had 7 months to prepare for Wood leaving? What a mess. How in the world do you have a 2 year PLANNED set of moves to get a franchise QB and go backwards with OL the entire time.
Don't even get me started on letting Robert Woods walk and creating yet another hole. $7 million was a freaking bargain for him, these guys need to understand positional inflation. We are now paying more, 2 years later, for an average DE who can't finish a game.
Rick Dennison. Enough said. In two straight years, they had an old player QUIT football before finishing the season. They can't even gauge whether these guys want to play anymore.
They are good coaches but in terms of acquiring and keeping players efficiently, I'm not so sure.
I think Edmunds will become a monster. He played against the strongest athletes in the world at 20. If Allen and Edmunds were finished products Buffalo wouldn't land either. By years end they both looked like players. Let Edmunds become a man and see how good he becomes.
-
Unless he is a silent partner in the place I think this is a real non story.

After the injury he was the best Qb in the class. He was the best player on the field when he was playing in a vast majority of games down the stretch. What he did vs Jacksonville is crazy.

As a player maybe the best in the league. As a runner and reciever. What kind of shape is he in? He could become the Vin Baker of the NFL.
-
I think he is an improvement on what we had and have at TE. Smart move. These really should be the type of moves made on offense. Outside of a trade or going after Bell, Buffalo needs to find solid contributors for offense on their 2nd contracts.
-
Jesse James a decent all around TE. Big frame and catch radius. I think he is 26 or 27. Has potential, and not overly impressive.
-
They didn't make the playoffs for 20 years prior. The roster needed to be overhauled. Will the roster be made into a contender or pretender is on their shoulders going forward.

You could also say they hit on Taron Johnson as the NCB.
Correct, but Mike and Qb have been a need for awhile. Nickel backs are a little easier to come by.
-
Yes, I would agree. Imo they hit on Allen and Edmunds. This offseason is what makes Beane. He has 80 mil in the bank and a top 10 pick without needing a Qb. Let's see what hes got.

For sure. My thought(and it's not original) is that they were thinking long term after the Cincy debacle. He didn't show the kind of escapability we saw all season and they thought he was gonna get killed behind that line. Big mistake by the FO and coaching staff, but probably not going to affect the long term.
Agree, but if you have so little faith in the starter that you replace him at halftime of game 1 why do it. I thought is was a Bill Obrien oldschool decision. When you walk to the field watch Allen practice and Petterman practice nothing said Petterman played football better.

Little talked about option for Bills at 9: Brian Burns
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Really, only defender I understand at 9 is an elite edge rusher. Allen, Sweat, Burns I would get behind.
