Victory Formation

Will the Bills sweep the division now?

Bills haven’t signed anyone?

Jason Peters at RT would be nice.

What’s his market like?

Jack Conklin, RT, Titans Vic Beasley, DE, Falcons Dante Fowler Jr, DE, Rams Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers Bud Dupree, DE, Steelers Robby Anderson, WR, Jets Joe Thuney, G, Patriots Jason Peters, T, Eagles Cordy Glenn, T, Bengals Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans *Shaq Lawson, DE, Bills

Dobbins is very good, I’d put him only behind Taylor. I think he’s a second round pick though.

22: R1P22 RB JONATHAN TAYLOR WISCONSIN 54: R2P22 WR BRANDON AIYUK ARIZONA STATE 86: R3P22 EDGE KENNY WILLEKES MICHIGAN STATE 128: R4P22 EDGE ALTON ROBINSON SYRACUSE 155: R5P9 OT TREY ADAMS WASHINGTON 167: R5P21 WR QUEZ WATKINS SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI 188: R6P9 DL RAEQUAN WILLIAMS MICHIGAN STATE 201: R6P22 LB FRANCIS BERNARD UTAH 207: R6P28 LB MICHAEL DIVINITY JR. LSU

Oh man... Hate to hear this, it makes me sad.

I would in no way be upset with JK Dobbins at 54. That’s tremendous value. Will he be there though? I don’t think so. I think if we want Dobbins, Swift or Taylor we need to go RB at 22. Wait for Mims, Claypool, Jefferson, Higgins, Shenault, Reagor or Aiyuk to fall in RD2 and trade up to 38 with Carolina and package 54 & 86 to land our WR there. Why go WR in RD1 when similar talent will be available in RD2? After Taylor, Swift and Dobbins there is a noticeable dip in talent at RB so it makes sense to go Taylor RD1 and jump up to 38 and take a powerful big bodied receiver like Laviska Shenault. Beane cautioned us about 1st round WRs, also in order to land Ruggs, Jeudy or Lamb we’re talking about a lot of capital to move up in a deep class, like our 1st and 2nd. Why not take the very best RB in the entire class and move up RD2 for our WR there?

I think adding a guy like Vic Beasley, Dante Fowler or Bud Dupree in free agency really opens up things for us in the draft. I like the free agent crop at DE more than I like the draft crop. My two favorite prospects are Kenny Willekes and Alton Robinson, both are viewed as 3rd/4th round picks. Anyways, here’s a stab at the draft if we go Taylor at #22. Round 1, pick No. 22. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin TRADE! Bills trade #54 and #86 to Carolina for #38 Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado Round 4, pick No. 128. Alton Robinson, DE, Syracuse Round 5, pick No. 155 (via Browns) Willie Gay Jr., LB, Mississippi State Round 5, pick. No. 167 Quez Watkins, WR, Southern Miss TRADE! Buffalo trades #188, #201 and #207 to the Houston Texans for pick #131 Raequan Williams, DT, Michigan State

It’s pretty nasty. I was battling the flu for 3 days and it was hell and it wasn’t even the coronavirus.

He’s the best back in the draft and it’s not even close. He won’t be there at 54. This guy is a rich man’s Nick Chubb. Same build, same brute strength combined with lightning speed. He has top 5 potential at his position right away when he gets to the NFL. Extremely worthy of a first round pick. He wasn’t asked to catch much at Wisconsin, that same label was put on Singletary coming out. He may never be a 1,000 yard receiver but he can be a pretty good one while also being a dominant lead back. As far as blocking, that can be taught. 5’11 227lbs with a 4.39 cannot be taught. The amount of pressure taken off of Allen by having Taylor and Singletary back there is worth it. Buffalo would head and shoulders be the NFL’s top rushing offense and Allen would simply have to make a few plays instead of having to be the focal point in our offense, I just don’t think he’s ready for that. John Brown proved he can be a #1, we just need a solid #2 and we can get that RD2.

I think Taylor can get you 1,200 yards rushing right away and maybe 500-600 receiving. He posted three back-to-back 2,000 seasons at Wisconsin. Singletary could probably match that production and Allen could post another 600 easily. I think that kind of production takes a heavy load off of Allen’s shoulders and builds us up for a deep playoff push/Super Bowl run. There should be a load of receivers available RD2 and the Bills could easily move up and nab one where the price isn’t so steep.

Kirby, what if the top 3 are gone?

Now before you guys tell me that I should be tested for the Coronavirus, hear me out. He is a great player that would fill a major need. Taylor and Singletary would be a devastating 1-2 punch. We would potentially have a running attack in the same echelon as the Ravens and 49ers. If Josh Allen continues to develop the way I think he can, we could be looking at a top 10 offense. If you put 8 in the box, Allen will tear you up with his arm. You drop one in coverage and you get clobbered by Taylor and Singletary. I know WR is a need but the value may not be there when we pick. I could see us trading up to the top of RD2 and taking Higgins, Jefferson, Claypool, Mims or Reagor there. We still get our WR and we add a potentially elite RB into the mix. Am I missing a chromosome? Or would Taylor be a great guy to add to the mix?

Draft: Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin. I think he should be in play at 22. He’s the bruiser we want and he’s fast too. Singletary and Taylor would be an unstoppable running combo. I think you add some maulers in the draft and free agency to open some holes for these guys and we morph into a power run offense and bring Allen along slowly. Free Agency: Vic Beasley. I hear that Shaq is going to be re-signed. I think you plug Beasley in behind Jerry Hughes and Shaq Lawson as a rotational mainstay and draft a guy like Kenny Willekes or Alton Robinson in the third round. DE would go from being a weak area on the team to a strong focal point.

Doggumit.

Vic Beasley at 4yrs $30M I think he splits time with Shaq and can perhaps upgrade the monster position left by LoZo. Dante Fowler is another guy I like but he may be overpaid and I think Beasley is better value.

I don’t think our OL is as bad as people make it out to be. Motor had a great season for a rookie. I can think of numerous times where Allen had 5 seconds to throw but nobody was getting open. Ford was weak in pass protection but he is a mauler on run plays and he was battling a torn rotator cuff. I’d still like to see another lineman added, preferably a RT added rounds 1-4 but honestly I think the major problem with our offense was the fact that outside of Brown and Beasley, Allen had nobody to throw to.

My bad. I remember watching him play. Their jerseys are similar. edit: Mixed up Glowinski with Glasgow.

He plays for the Colts....

I’m surprised he has Kenny Willekes so low. Willekes reminds me a lot of TJ Watt. He would be a steal in the 3rd. Alton Robinson isn’t even listed. He has the potential to be a difference maker at DE.

Quentin Nelson is their best linemen. I think they don’t want to pay two guards top dollar. Glasgow is a very good guard though, I hope we target him in free agency. Plug him in at LG, draft a RT and Ford goes into RG. Boom, we got a top 5-7 OL.

I like him. He’s pretty good.
