  1. OT, FB and any good ST guys might have a shot. Punter competition may be coming. I don't think any punters were drafted.
  2. I'll be keeping an eye on Trey Adams. If healthy, he could stick. I suppose Reggie Gilliam has a shot too.
  3. 8-8 plus the improvement we get from Josh Allen, if any. He's the key. I'm also hoping we get better play from our CB's behind TW.
  4. After the top 3 WR's, there's a big dropoff, so good move. I still wish they'd do more to upgrade the right side of the OL though. Hopefully one of those guys will be a solid #4. I likr McKenzie for his speed and versatility and Roberts as well. I can see us carrying 6 WR's on the roster and a rookie WR on the PS.
  5. Just saw this on NFL Network. Flucker would be a nice uqgrade at RG. I don't think we need Britt, but I'd love to see Fluckere in Bills blue for 2020. Thoughts?
  6. Miami has had a solid offseason and they are on the rise. I think their coaching is very good and they could be overachievers. People are underestimating Bellichik, but they need a QB. I think the Pats will just wait a year rather than sign an average QB. I think Beckton will be great for the Jets, but Darnold had better step it up this year. I also don't know that we are better than the Steelers or Titans right now. Josh Allen is our ceiling. We sink or swim depending on whether or not he plays well. He played a little better in 2019, but needs to show at least twice the improvement this year to finish 10-6 again with our schedule.
  7. I just watched a PFF podcast draft review. The Bills got all of 5 seconds in a 1 hr 40 min discussion. Basically it was "nothing flashy, but they got good guys that can play."
  8. At this point in the draft it is highly unlikely that you'll find 1 guy that is measurably better than all the remaining players. In that instance you just take the guy in that top remaining group that best fills a need.
  9. While OBD snoozes. Why do they refuse to fix our OL? They made a good start last year, except for Ford, and now they've just given up. Sad.
  10. Best pick so far. I don't know if he'll be good, but until we find a franchise QB we have to keep looking. I'm relieved to know that OBD understands this.
  11. An elite OT. I know there probably isn't one still out there unless we just get stupid lucky. The right side of our OL is weak and Ford is a freakin' turnstile at RT. He needs to move inside if he's ever going to be any good. Everybody keeps talking about how they want us to score more points. Granted, the OL was much better in '19 than it was in '18, but we still have a lot of room for improvement. Our OL is very mediocre overall. We don't have any probowl worthy OL. Dominating in the trenches would raise the performance level of the offense considerably. People talk endlessly about skill position players and their sexy stats, but they only talk about the OL when they are historically bad. Running an offense with good receivers and backs and a mediocre OL is like racing a Ferrari with an underpowered engine. It looks great, but never seems to go as fast as you need it to. There's only 1 goal -- Win the SB. Mediocrity doesn't cut it any more.
  12. Shouldn't we wait until at least 1 or 2 of his 1st and 2nd round picks lives up to their draft status? Also, he has apparently given up on putting a good OL together despite the fact that he had more cap space than 27 other teams. That said, I think Oliver still has a shot at greatness and maybe Edmunds might turn out OK. I do think a lot of people overrate him, though.
  13. He should be a decent backup RB. Too bad we have done nothing to bolster the blocking.
  14. Our biggest need (by far) was to get a solid RT so we could move Ford to G. We haven't done anything about that yet. Epenesa, from everything I've read, will be an average DE. T Murphy is an average DE. I like our new RB, though. Not great vision like DS, but a tough downhill runner with good speed and soft hands. I still think day 2 was too soon to draft a backup RB, but so be it. It's too late to draft a starting caliber RT, so it looks like Allen will be facing a lot of pressure again and he handles pressure very poorly. I am not a big Beane fan after this offseason. With a much tougher schedule than last year, I can see this team winning 2 or 3 fewer games this coming season. That will have the TBD crowd calling for heads to roll.
  15. I thought the Jets and 'fins did well. We had a ton of cap space and we've only added 1 impact player. There's still time for another big trade, though.
  16. He certainly passes the eye test no matter what the numbers say. He is special. Bring in Carlos Hyde to back him up and we're strong at RB, IMO. What our running game really needs is a huge upgrade at RT and RG, but Beans has done nothing to improve the OL this offseason. Trent Williams appears appears to be the only option, but does Beane think he's a process guy? Would he even sign for the right price? Ford needs to move inside, but the prospect of starting Nsekhe or Williams at RT is pretty scary. We ranked pretty high in rushing yards as a team, but much of that was due to Allen's scrambling ability.
  17. No. Just ... no. Ngakoue is good, but not great and Fournette is far from special. I'd give our 2nd for Ngakoue. Any number of FA's and day 3 RB's could be just as good as Fournette.
  18. Who cares about any of that? We do not have a proven QB anyways. We need someone that can compete for the starting job. Besides, this is the most important position in football. It should always be top priority. We should always be looking. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Beane will stay tied at the hip to Allen and both he and McDermott will sink along with him. McDermott is a good HC, but you have to learn to move on from your mistakes. They did it with KB. Will they do the same with Lotulelei and Josh? In all fairness, I'd give Allen more time, but if he doesn't show at least twice the improvement in 2020 that he showed in 2019, it's time to move on.
  19. RB's and LB's can easily be had in FA, but weave done nothing to bolster either position despite more thsan $80 million in cap space. We should take care of those positions before the draft. AJ Klein is good depth, but we need a starter. Unfortunately OBD was asleep at the switch while all the good OLB's and CB's were being signed. We should be addressing our OL in this draft, but unfortunately we will need to do something about OLB in this draft. We could still address DE and RB before the draft, but probably won't. I have a bad feeling our defense could slip considerably in 2020 if we don't do something significant at all 3 levels. Additionally, RT is the biggest hole on our roster and we look no better there. I think D Williams will continue to struggle. He was terrible at LG last year. Let's hope he has a miraculous recovery.
  20. Well, of all the starting QB's in the AFCE last season, Josh was 3rd in passing efficiency behind Brady and Fitzpatrick.Fitz, Josh and Darnold were all within a couple points of each other while Brady was far ahead of all 3. Depending on what the Pats do at QB, Allen could be anywhere from 1st to 4th this season.
  21. Feliciano is a below average starter or better than average backup -- however you want to say it. Ford is terrible at RT, but might turn out OK at G. Spain and Dawkins are very average starters. Unless we're aiming for mediocrity, we need to continue working to upgrade the OL. We had nearly $90 million in cap space and we haven't signed any FA's that I'm even remotely excited about. Boehm is strictly a backup and Williams has been really terrible since his knee injury. I'd love to use our 1st pick on a RT. If not, use it for Lorenzo's replacement and then a RT. Everyone falsely assumes that our OL is 'fixed'. It's not. Not by a long shot. We need to score more points and with Diggs on board, RT is now the biggest 'hole' on offense. TE would be next unless Knox can bring his catch % way up, but that's hard to do when you're always having to adjust to the ball.
  22. What drug are we talking about? If it's pot, I'd still take a chance if he falls into round 2. As long as it's nothing addictive. Nigel Bradham got busted with pot and he got his act together.
