I think this is pretty much the team going into camp. I doubt we sign or trade for anyone else of note.

There were still people saying Benjamin was a borderline 1/2 WR and Zay could improve. A lot of ifs just like now.
They signed two 30 year old WR and have one 1000 season between them. Other teams with much better wr corps drafted multiple receivers to go with their young qb. Cards drafted one last year and butler and Isabella this year.
I say we will be making the WR excuse for Allen again after this season. You disagree I’m guessing. Your camp was wrong last year. We will see about this year.
I fully expected the team to be bad last year, including the WR's. So my "camp" was right.

Reading through this thread, I am curious, if Singletary had every attribute, measurable, and lack of holes if people think he would have lasted until the third round?
He's a running back, one of the most devalued positions in the NFL. So I don't think it is uncommon to get very good running backs in the later rounds.

People who complained about the lack of WR after last year’s draft and before the season were proven correct. We will see if they are right again.
Completely different circumstances, though. Last year was the cap fix. We were deficient at just about every position. This year we paid a number of WR's in FA to come in and bolster the position, but the focus has been on fixing the oline.

.....exactly...hell even the Pats did...............
Darn the pats. They've taken every player worth taking and pulled the wool over the eyes of every GM in the league again. Doubtless every major news outlets will give them an "A+" in their draft evaluation.

Players and coaches do vastly different things. Why would Anderson want to be a coach? Has he expressed interest in such a career move in the past? He probably finds it fun to still be one of the players, a part of the team, actually playing the game. And he's a veteran guy who adds knowledge to the QB room. A 3rd string QB doesn't usually add anything to the game day roster on any team.

No Fun League fan I see. What;s the point of even having former players announce picks if they do it the way Wood did? The NFL wants the draft to be entertaining. Why even televise it if they were going to do it the way you describe?I'd be fine if they didn't have former players announce picks. I'd also be fine if it wasn't televised. All I care about is hearing what the pick is. Actually having analysts talk about each guy is nice too.
The actual games are what's fun to watch for me. It's not fun for me to see random players announce picks. Maybe I'm in the minority. The draft is fun just to see what players you get and how your team is impacted. All the added spectacle is not fun, to me. But again, the added spectacle around the games themselves is fine. I like that.

I get being worried but that's not happening it's a part of who the guy is it's not really realistic to expect him to cut that part of himself out for our paranoia.
I'm willing to bet that guys get injured far more often playing basketball in the off season than experienced riders on horses.

I agree completely. And to be honest, I've been hoping for John Brown for a couple years now. Maybe I'm a little higher on him than some. I think he can be very good.

oh yeah, they say this every year
Hmm. Not that I've noticed. I do think a common thing to say is that the QB's aren't that great this year, but next year they'll be amazing. I seem to hear that every year, with exception to the 2018 class. Everyone knew that was a strong QB class.

Like I said it's too late. I've burned bridges and should leave.
Yeah, there are jerks here, but you seem to have very thin skin. People aren't always going to be nice. You just have to ignore them.
And you know, I'm not always nice either. You might need to ignore me from time to time as well.

I do think the group will be tremendously improved. I'm already cringing thinking about the first few weeks and them meshing, though. It might be rough for awhile. But ultimately I believe we'll see a much better product by the end of the year, something we can put a stamp on as a team strength going into next season (if we resign some of those 1 year prove it players).

So yup, you are right. I own that mistake, I thought he asked about Dhaquille which is “Duke” but it was Jacquan. I misheard it and the literal description was all the same stuff they said about Duke when we first signed him, so seemed to match and didn’t catch the mistake.
Thanks for pointing that out and take no offense of you doing so. Was my mistake.
Still doesn’t change my belief they like him as they have said quite a few good things about him before too.
And yeah, the Beane pressers have been great throughout the draft. I get alerted through Periscope when they go live and watch there. Download Periscope and follow the Buffalo Bills. There are quite a few pressers people miss that got good stuff in it.
Welcome again to the board
Cheers
I think it is pretty normal for regimes to say good things about the guys they sign. I wouldn't read into what they say in pressers about their players, because 99% of the time it is just going to be positive fluff.
My personal opinion is that Duke has a very steep hill to climb if he wants to make the roster. Watching him, he just seems so slow to me. I kind of doubt he does make the roster, but I hope he proves me wrong and dominates.
I've got no skin in the game. If Zay Jones gets cut or traded, I don't care. If Duke becomes the #1, great. I just want to see a really good group of receivers that produce consistently at a high level. Whoever does that will get a virtual high five from me.

LT- Dawkins- Waddle
LG-Spain- Teller
C-Morse- Long
RG-Ford- Feliciano
RT-Nsekhe- Ford*
They keep nine offensive lineman. Ford starts at guard, if an injury happens to Dawkins, Nsekhe goes to LT, Ford to RT, Feliciano or Long to RG.
they have a lot of nice options
This is how I see it ending up as well. Nice prediction.
I also personally believe there is practically no chance that Dawkins loses his spot. I think his name is written in sharpie on the depth chart. Just my personal view.

I’d say the answer likely lands on film not on paper
Great point. Allen was all his team had. I haven't watched UB or Jackson, but I suspect he had help where as Allen had none. It required super human effort to elevate his crappy team at Wyoming.

Aaron Donald is kind of meek in his pressers too, at least in the past. He's pretty quiet and polite off the field, and a terror on the field. Of course, I haven't listened to him lately. Not sure if that has changed now that he is so established as an elite defender.

I'm pretty sure the difference is the conference, right? Also, the one stat that really stood out is Jackson throwing twice as many INT's.
This power ranking has the MWC ranked 7th out of 10, and the MAC ranked 9th out of 10: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2018-college-football-conference-power-rankings-sec-back-on-top-but-where-does-the-big-ten-land/

Sidebar: Eric Wood sucked with the 2nd round pick announcement. ZERO swag, said nothing to the fans. Very dry....simply announced the pick. He looks great tho...lol
I wish every single pick was that way. I don't care to hear trash talking or pandering to fans by former players. I just want the pick. In fact, just have the NFL hire a temp to stand up there for three days and announce every single pick. That would be the best.

Fans are hungry... Who we cutting trying to add receivers and ends?? This is a tough team to crack now. Not sure what I’m missing but the squad looks pretty impressive to me.
You cut whoever is worst. We can definitely use some high end talent at both positions, but I doubt that happens this off season. We need elites, not more depth.

Why would I do that. I can be highly critical of the team and still support them.
Might have to look up the definition of "support".

Another FULLBACK?!!
We need pass rushers. Didn't happen early in the draft. Either they didn't view it as a top priority or BPA never met pick. He's got some upside and there is certainly an opportunity for an "edge" to unseat either Shaq or Murphy.
Fullback?

The problem with your rebuttal average random fan is that Whaley and his scouts ran the 2017 draft not Beane.
McDermott was in charge. Everybody knows that. That's why I said Beane AND McDermott. Those two are responsible for the latest rebuild of this team.

What gets my blood boiling is losing and not having a WR worth a F over the last 10 years due to ineptness. Some of us have high standards, thankfully Beane seems to be fairly competent, but so far it doesn’t appear to be so for the WR department.
Maybe you need to take a break from the Bills.

and EJ Gaines and Levi Wallace
Well they play outside. The comment was about Nickel Corner being a need. Taron Johnson was playing at a pro bowl level at nickel corner before he got shut down for surgery.
Just now, Mark92 said:I am so sick of people not knowing ***** about these players but calling them bad picks. ALL of these late round players have flaws that's why they are being drafted late. The analysts talk about their flaws so people think they are bad picks. It's awful this year.
It also gets my blood boiling. Idiot fans who have no idea what they are talking about. They know like 5 players and if we don't take those 5 players they think the pick is a bad one.
