24th? Sounds about right. Our D is WAY overrated. Our RB's are ancient. Our OL and receivers are average. Our front 7 badly needs an overhaul. Our secondary is good, but not great. I'd guess we'll finish somewhere around 18th to 22nd.

Let's get real. We went from one of the 3 worst OL's in the NFL (not worst OL ever) to an average OL. Our best new OL is Morse who was rated by PFF as the 13th best C in the league. Spain is a tick above 'avg starting G' and Dawkins is definitely avg starting OT at best. Those are our 3 best. I'd say we went from about 31st to 15th. That's a very huge jump and will hopefully be enough to get Shady another 1,000+ yard season as well as helping Allen make much needed strides in his sophmore season.

7 or 8 wins is reasonable. At least we'll have a rushing attack, but our defense will slip. We'll be surrendering rushing yards to opponents in big chunks and Josh Allen will continue to throw too many picks.

Not a fan and they look just like the Eagles.

With the middle class all but gone by now, who's buying tickets to AAF games anyways? Maybe they should go over to China and try to start a league there.

Beane just said "Free Agency is about needs and the draft is about BPA." He has done a pretty good job of making a rough patch for nearly all the holes on this roster. This sets him up well for going BPA on days 1 and 2. After that, players' grades won't differ much anyways, so he can fill more holes or double down on a hole if he thinks he needs to. Day 3 is also a good day to add rookies with ST experience.

Kyle was a 5th round pick too. Let's hope.

In your dreams...

What I know is that a dominant DL hsd a big affect on the entire defense and the win column. If they go DE in round 1, so be it, but we need a stud to replace Kyle. If the difference is small, yes. This is especially true later in the draft where the differences among a group of players is minimal or in higher rounds where the talent is about to take a noticeable drop at a position of need.

His mama's name.

Whaley drafted Dawkins.

An upgrade over Nsekhe would be nice, but Nsekhe is already a considerable upgrade over Mills.

I'm not. I'm stating that an accurate arm is better than scrambling ability. Rosen has better natural accuracy than Allen who throws poorly placed balls with maddening regularity.

I agree, OP. Rosen was a rookie QB on a terrible team and has better natural ability to throw accurately than Allen -- FAR better. I'd make this move and let Rosen and Allen battle it out and see which one is better. Allen hasn't shown that he has anything besides arm strength and the ability to scramble. I'll take a great passer over a great runner at QB every time.

OJ. Everyone else is a distant 2nd at best. Too bad so many of you never saw him play or you'd have no doubt as I don't. Off field, he was a conceited jerk, bad actor, thief, woman beater and murderer. This is why so many have subconsciously downgraded him. He is the only man to ever break the 2,000 yard mark in a 14 game season. There may never be another RB his equal, ever. You had to see it with your own eyes to fully understand.

It's unlikely that he'll take more than a couple snaps on offense all year, but solid ST'er. We need that.

I'd go with DT then G then OT then WR. Next year, we'll need RB and LB. Any time we can upgrade DE, CB or TE would not be too soon. We need to see big improvement at QB and MLB as well. I might put WR, but it doesn't look like there is anyone in this draft that come right in and be a day 1 starter.

Why this year? If one they like isn't there, maybe they go with Shady and Gore and draft one next year.

To those that say he can't play any more, do some reading before you post and not just reading other posts here that say he has nothing left. I don't recall any of you calling for the Bills to release Kyle last year when he had even less gas left. Or you can just make $#;[] up, I suppose. We were talking about a 1 year deal. It's hardly Nelson's fault the Raiders sucked last year. He probably retired because playing for Gruden was such a letdownLOL.

I sure hope you're right. Neith Clark nor Hughes is an all-pro, but they're both very good. Add a guy like Wilkins, Oliver, McCoy or Suh and we'd have a DL as good as anyone. It wouldn't be as good as that DL we had a few years back with Mario, Hughes, Kyle and Dareus (before he hit the snooze button) but it would still be really good. A DL like that could really make a difference in the W/L column. We could bring heat without a lot of blitzing.

He's no better than what we already have. I see no reason to give anything up just to stay even.

I don't think a 3 year rebuild is too much. A lot depends on where you start. Besides, his first 2 draft picks (Allen and Edmunds) have a long way to go and I don't know that Allen has what it takes to bring us the Lombardi trophy. He's an incredible scrambler, but his passing ability, m'eh.

Exactly. The DL is the only unit that has taken a step backwards since last season ended and I believe that elite defense starts with a dominant DL. Kyle is gone. Both Shaq and T Murphy are merely adequate. This is the best DL draft class in a while. I'll be stunned if Oliver is there at 9 and they pass on him.

There is no unit on this team that is below average right now except QB and DL. We are in a perfect position to just go BPA. That said, I'd like a beast to replace Kyle and another OL as well as Lo's replacement and a good pass rusher, but we can just let it fall to us.

Long was terrible last year and has only been average when healthy in recent years. Feliciano has never won a starting job, even in Oakland. I'm very worried if those are our starting G's. I'm not even sure that's as good as Miller and Ducasse. Just because we have new G's doesn't mean they are better. Also, don't believe the other posters who say Teller is terrible. He wasn't all that bad and could have a pretty good sophmore season. Look at the scouting reports on him. I don't watch NCAA anything, but he appears to have no real weaknesses. Heck, even Superman has his kryptonite.
