Guess the debate is over and the answer is yes. Papers are signed so for now I'm going to be excited and hope for the best.

Name me the Bill's players who have had 10 sacks or more in the last 10 years.

We lost two veterans in Cooper and Hollins. Even if they draft someone I'm not surprised they signed someone like Palmer. He's got potential. I hope he's more Hollins than Sherfield.

Your picture is missing but I got it now.

Shaq Lawson would come do the same job for next to nothing ............ I'm kidding ............ or am I ?

No we want him throwing to Kincaid, or deep to Diggs, or into the end zone for Shakir with Diggs running underneath ............ damn it. Ok Palmer it is.

or a late swing on another Tennessee WR with some wheels .......

There's a path to believe he could be. His catch percentage is about 10% better on average. Drop percentage is lower. Palmer has a 70 catch season but Davis was clearly almost exclusively a deep ball guy so he was never going to catch 70 balls. What we need is a guy who can take one on one coverage and produce catches outside. Hopefully he fairs better than MVS.

If it's any consolation Pro Football Reference has him at a 5% drop rate with 3 out of 4 years with 4 drops or less.

Just looking at his game logs and snap counts from each season. Even though he was injured for much of his 2023 season he was pretty dam good in the games he did play and against some pretty decent competition. Last year his snaps and targets were all down. He had virtually the same amount of targets (and catches) over 10 games in 2023 as he did in 16 games in 2024.

Emmanwori will be gone well before 30 which is fine because we need a better all around cover guy anyways. Amos in the first, Collins and Mukuba in the second. I like the other picks although I would have tried for Nohl Williams also. I feel like we have a pretty significant need at CB or just DB's that can cover in general. I'd love a better pass rush but that aside I'd love it if we actually had a thing called coverage sacks.

Amos as the Bill's first pick then Collins. Amos is my favorite CB for our defense and I like Collins as a more finished DT and/or if he was gone Jordan Phillips later in the draft. Hell I'd go Amos then Mukuba and then Phillips and still sign DJ Jones and/or Jonathan Allen if I had my way.

I honestly think if we get better, more consistent, pressure/play from the DT's you will see better sack numbers across the board and especially from the DE's. Groot and AJ can both get to the QB well enough. Less soft coverage and easy 2 step drop throws and some DT's that make stepping up and escaping the pocket a problem I think Groot could really put up some good all around numbers.

Gave this another spin. Could only hope.

Honestly we're kind of looking for one trick ponies outside. If he can run block and get behind or outrun a defender in man coverage he could get a few balls thrown his way. Given the situations we throw outside in he might only see 2 or 3 catches but they could be big catches.

Two words ............ Alvin Harper. Size, speed, and of course Tennessee all made me think of Alvin Harper.

I like everything I saw in that video. It would be nice to have someone who had the option of just running away from people. An actual "if he's even he's leaving" type of weapon. At 6'5" you still have the option of a jump ball but truth is if he's single covered he could probably out run a few people. In the video he runs some speed outs, he finds the QB in the scramble drill, a lot to like really.

If you are just looking to take the top off defenses take a swing on Thornton on day 3. That size and speed combo at the very least gives us something different than what most of our roster is made up of. I don't know about an every down guy but if you are making a late swing on a deep threat guy he had a 40 yard catch in 7 out of the 10 games he played. I personally don't care if we don't focus on having some fast outside guy. I'd rather have a technician who's quick more than fast but day 3 I don't care if they take some swings outside the box.

I like that Zeek Biggers kid. Not sure he offers much at all for pass rush but he's supposed to be unmovable and for his size he's done alright at the combine. Projected 6th or 7th round.

For what it's worth I like that list. Grant, Amos, and Collins would be my favorites. Green is pretty interesting also.

Mike Williams on a one year prove it deal. Probably under 5m to sign him. Don't think we need 4 RB's but would love to have AJ Dillon to fall forward in some short yardage situations to maybe have some options to the tush push. Blackmon at safety would fit like a glove. Some CB chops in his past.

I definitely remember that thread. I also forgot how much some people loved Hyatt coming out.

Was it Blount that returned a kickoff on us?

Would love to get Watts in the second or Mukuba in the third to play beside Bishop. Some actual coverage safeties.
