100% it just reduces your margin of error.

Does anyone else get incredibly nervous with how we set up our onside returns? Only one player back to receive and that person is Mack Hollins or R Douglas. It seems other teams make it easier on themselves. Am I wrong or did anyone else notice the same thing? Go Bills!

Went to mass in the 4th quarter. You’re welcome.

What about extra points? I’m unapologetically biased but how that is a miss and the one in our game with the Jets was a make is baffling to me.

He’s a guy so had my eye on for dynasty fantasy football before he was a Buffalo Bill. I love that they went after a RB with 3 down ability and didn’t just take any RB who can run. Keeping guys on the field who can run, catch and block keeps the defense guessing. I think our offense is going to look a lot different this year and it’s gonna be awesome.

Watching the 2024 Embedded episode on the draft I noticed that McDermott said something along the lines of ,”We gotta get Van Pran” and then Beane says, “I’m gonna go Ray Davis here (in the 4th) then Van Pran” It’s awesome it worked out but this tells me that our scouting staff thinks very highly of Ray Davis. At the very least they liked him enough so to risk pissing off the head coach. Thankfully Van Pran was still there in the 5th for us but the fact that Beane targeted and liked Ray Davis over all the other RB at that time says something. It’s something I found it interesting as maybe it means that Ray Davis will be in for a bigger role than we thought.

I plan on going. Trying to get a bus with some of the neighbors but outside of my family the rest of the bunch will be Eagles fans.

Right Idea wrong player. Let’s Go Dalton!!!

Every part of me is hoping for a trade back and to draft Darnell Washington

Yeah I’ve gone from being lukewarm on this idea to this potential pick being one of my favorites. I believe he wasn’t asked to do much in the passing game because he’s such a stud in the blocking game and Brock Bowers is such a stud as a receiving threat. We’d ask him to do the same. Added bonus the more 12 personnel we run the fresher our WRs will be, leading to less drops (looking at you Gabe) and the less hits Allen will be taking.

^^^ Agreed ^^^

He's a unicorn and he won't need to do too much in his 1st year. He'd be an immediate upgrade allowing us to run a lot of 12 personnel, which will make our play action game much better (Josh already excels at PA). Knox will start earning his contract and DW would be an absolute problem in the RedZone year one. This is more about making the rest of the team better for year 1 but I think Baltimore takes him at 22 to pair with Mark Andrews. He's going to go in the 1st round.

If we aren't seeing the value at O-Line or WR I think we'll go TE. It would allow Knox to go on more routes and effectively make are Our O-Line better at the same time . D Washington > Knox at blocking right now and can be a matchup challenge in the RedZone. Our offense had no issues moving the ball last year but we struggled at times in the redzone. I think this is where Beane looks to help out our team. If O'Cyrus Torrence is there that who I want but I'm warming to the idea of a Top TE prospect to pair with Knox.

Is this not a discussion board? We have been complaining for almost 15 years that we passed on a blocking TE who was a physical mismatch in college and who showed glimpses in of being a receiving threat (Gronk) yet you’re so dismissive that this is a possibility because we paid Knox? Maybe to get the proper investment return out of Knox we need to have another guys who’s a threat and not just another Tackle who tips the defense off as to what we’re going to do. Im sure you don’t need me to explain how football works but the idea with the pick would be to force defenses to tip their hand 1st based on personal which would allow Josh and our offense to have the advantage pre snap. Out of all the players available at the end of the 1st DW has the highest ceiling and a pretty decent floor based on his blocking ability and physicality. Beane draft athleticism in the 1st round ( Josh Allen, Edmunds, Oliver Elam) I think this is worth a discussion.

Don’t shoot the messenger but you can’t objectively listen to that presser and say that this post is baseless. Beane seems to love the TEs this year and I can see how it may help us. Two TEs on the field takes teams out of that Cover 2 shell. Gives us more ways to win. I’m a hopeless optimist (been a Bills fan since 1990) I’m trying to talk myself into this not being the end of the world if it happens.
