[Which RB are we spending an early round pick on?]

11 hours ago, njbuff said:

If the Bills keep most of, if not all, of their picks, they will almost certainly draft a RB at some point.

 

And I also think the UDFA pool of RB's is going to be deep this year.

 

The Bills brought 4 UDFA's last year who they like and can play (Foster, Love, Wallace, Boettger). That is unheard of.

 

So, maybe they can also find an UDFA RB who can play.

Keith Ford - UDFA - RB

Me personally, I would like Benny Snell in the 4th round.

 

He is a downhill runner that this offense needs.

 

A lot of the mocks I've run simulations on have Snell going 4th or 5th. We have the ammo. He was very productive, and besides being solid in the run, he was an excellent screen / receiving threat. I'm down with this.

I think we were just done a disservice. I'm guessing this play was chosen because a Patriots player was the victim.

 

If you want to show the true quality of a McD coached player legally "blocking" the snot out of an opposing player I would have gone with Logan Thomas.

 

 

 

 

Nice thing is, that would technically still be legal, under the new rule.

Yeah, notice how KB gets charged, but the dingleberry from the Jets who turned Hausch-Money into Hausch-Food Stamps gets away with it. 

 

Yet another case of the NFL vs the Bills...

I didn't even know Josh's score but could tell from the way he speaks and interacts he's a smart guy.

 

Those suggesting Josh can't be a cerebral QB like Manning/Brady/Brees are talking out their arses.

Wait, you mean you can hurdle an LB, throw a rocket 70 yards, and still be smart? Paradigms smashed! Posters proven wrong! Universes ripped apart!

Major Points:

 

EJ Gaines

Brought EJ Gaines back to compete at CB.  Bills stayed in contact with his reps, brought him in for a workout, and signed him.  Levi Wallace had a great year but nothing is a given.  Competition makes everyone better and Bills will trying to add competition at every position.  Also mentioned Corey Thompson.

 

Free Agency

- Offensive stats were a focus of the offseason.  Wanted to bring in enough offensive players to select the BPA in the draft. 

- Beane feels better about the team after FA but still wants to add competition.  He is keeping all options open to adding talent - specifically mentioned possibly making a trade.

- Free Agency is all about the "right fit"

- There are no games won in March.  Adding talent is one thing, building a team is another.  Performance of free agents is not an automatic.  Bills staff still have a lot of work to do to make sure they get everything out of free agents.

 

Improvements to the defensive line

- Still looking to bring in players including Free Agency and the draft

 

AAF Players

It's helpful to see players in actual football (as opposed to workouts)

Praises the AAF and feels it's good for the NFL

 

Failure of Tight Ends Drafted High

Says each scenario is different

Teams have to do their due diligence and should draft the best player available regardless of position

 

Shaq Lawson

Draft will have no impact on Shaq's contract 

 

 

 

I just like that we got a little insight in this interview. No direct tells, so to speak, but we definitely heard some non-doublespeak from Beane. Without giving any particulars away, he actually said some important things. Good listen. Thanks for sharing, @BillyWhiteShows

On 8/1/81, MTV aired the very first music video: "Video Killed the Radio Star",  by The Buggles:

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Killed_the_Radio_Star

 

I was also born that day, in Rochester, NY, to a middle class family whose father had played sports in high school. As the first child, I was encouraged to play sports, and football was the only sport with a national team nearby. I naturally loved the Bills, and cried at each Super Bowl loss.

 

I never ended up being a radio star.

 

The Bills still have not won a Super Bowl.

 

I am still a Bills fan.

Spot on: Oliver's brother went to Houston, and Oliver followed him. It's a cool story, actually. He turned down some major offers to do so. Says something good about the kid's character, if you ask me.

I do think we're taking Hockenson in the 1st, hopefully with a trade down.

 

Seems like we're almost telegraphing it at this point the same way we did last year that we'd be trading up to get a QB.

 

I concur. Only way I see this not happening?

 

1) If Simmons is there at 9, we take him.

 

2) If we drop to 15, and Wilkins is there, we take him, and pray we can package extra picks to move up and draft Hock, too (I would J in my P for a week, if this happened).

Love how Bills fans are already revising history with the Antonio Brown saga, all over this forum. 

 

Negotiations never got as far as talking money or the Bills hearing a price they were unwilling to pay, because Brown via his agent Drew Rosenaus made it clear he straight up wouldn't go to Buffalo for any price or term.

 

Period.

 

Any suggestion that "the price was too high in the end so we walked away" is pure spin coming from OBD so as to try and save a little face and avoid further embarrassment over the entire misadventure.

 

And what were those guys doing going after Antonio Brown anyway?  I guess all the "process" and "culture" talk was in fact BS, just like it smelled like, all along!

 

 

 

Glad you and AB had that nice little fireside chat, and he told you all the details.
