Victory Formation

71-80. He got us to the playoffs but how about a playoff win? A Super Bowl would bump him up to 100% for me.

A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.

We can still draft one.

I think the strategy is to fill all needs in free agency and to draft the BPA in the draft. I expect we sign a RT, DE and WR next. We don’t want to go into the draft desperate.

I think we stay put and take YGM or Epenesa. I think we go Higgins or Jefferson RD2 with a trade up as a likely scenario. Stay at 22 move up to 33.

Bills EDGE in the first round and WR in the second.

I like him. I think it comes down to Jefferson, YGM or Epenesa at 22.

Our interest in Thuney could suggest that our FO believes in Ford at RT. I think what we do in free agency will be an indicator as to what we do with Ford.

I know a lot of fans were upset with him and some folks say he should be bumped into guard but at the end of the day he was playing with a torn rotator cuff. Could this be the reason why he struggled at times? He seemed to get push in the run game and has freakish brute strength. He may not be as long as you want but he could improve with another year in the system. Are we giving up on him too early?

I do think he’d be a great fit for us scheme wise. For me it comes down to Yetur Gross-Matos, AJ Epenesa or perhaps Laviska Shenault because he is a great fit for our offense.

I love Mekhi Becton, he’s an absurd talent. People gave me trouble a few months ago when I projected him as our first pick but now fans are coming along after seeing him shoot up the draft board. He should go top 5. He has Orlando Pace/Walter Jones ability.

? Beasley is my favorite player on the Bills not named Josh Allen.

Unless Milano has a monster season, let him go. I hope we add Willie Gay Jr. in the 4th or 5th round to take over for him. Vosean Joseph may be a decent player too.

22: R1P22 WR JUSTIN JEFFERSON LSU 54: R2P22 TE COLE KMET NOTRE DAME 86: R3P22 EDGE CURTIS WEAVER BOISE STATE 125: R4P22 EDGE ALTON ROBINSON SYRACUSE 155: R5P9 OT TREY ADAMS WASHINGTON 167: R5P21 C DARRYL WILLIAMS MISSISSIPPI STATE 188: R6P9 WR STEPHEN GUIDRY MISSISSIPPI STATE 201: R6P22 WR JUWAN JOHNSON OREGON 207: R6P28 LB FRANCIS BERNARD UTAH

I can’t stomach passing on Yetur Gross-Matos or AJ Epenesa. It’s BPA at a huge need.

I think this is a rough sketch as to what our offseason could look like. Beane typically signs free agents that fills a need area and goes BPA in the draft. I could see us going DE, WR, T, CB and G in free agency so we’re not so vulnerable and desperate going into the draft. With free agency right around the corner and the draft nearly a month away, here’s an idea as to what our offseason may look like. Free Agency Trae Waynes, CB, Minnesota Vikings Robert Quinn, DE, Miami Dolphins Graham Glasgow, G, Detroit Lions Nelson Agholor, WR, Philadelphia Eagles Darryl Williams, RT, Carolina Panthers Draft 22: R1P22 EDGE YETUR GROSS-MATOS PENN STATE 54: R2P22 WR DENZEL MIMS BAYLOR 86: R3P22 TE ALBERT OKWUEGBUNAM MISSOURI 125: R4P22 OT CALVIN THROCKMORTON OREGON 155: R5P9 WR ANTONIO GANDY-GOLDEN LIBERTY 167: R5P21 RB ZACK MOSS UTAH 188: R6P9 OT YASIR DURANT MISSOURI 201: R6P22 LB WILLIE GAY JR. MISSISSIPPI STATE 207: R6P28 CB A.J. GREEN OKLAHOMA STATE

Well, I think Buffalo is in a great position to tak AJ Epenesa or Yetur Gross-Matos. I think we go EDGE in RD1. Ruggs, Lamb and Jeudy will be long gone. Probably looking at Mims, Claypool or Jefferson RD2. That’s how I see the board playing out. I think Beane will fill our needs in FA and let the board come to us. Could be WR, could be OT but I believe it’ll be Epenesa or Gross-Matos at #22. Could see us adding Kenny Willekes or Alton Robinson RD3 and perhaps another WR in RD4.

I absolutely think we get a serviceable EDGE in FA. Beane will likely add a DE, LB, CB, RT, WR in free agency so come the draft we can go BPA. In his short time here I feel he’s always done just that. If we go into the draft with little to no needs that opens you up to BPA which turns into star power. All our need areas will be systematically filled and the best player will be taken. Beane’s strategy since he got here.

I think three QBs go before us, maybe four. It’s not far fetched to think a tackle can fall to us with these guys ahead of us. Regardless we walk away with a good player in a need area. What position? I do not know. Let the board come to us. Maybe a WR, maybe a T, maybe a DE but I think between Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs, Wirfs, Becton, Thomas, Matos and Epenesa there’s a reasonable chance we may score one of these players and if they covet someone they can give up a 3rd and go up and get one if they slide to 15-16. 1. Chase Young, DE, OSU 2. CeeDee Lamb, WR, LSU 3. Jerry Jeudy WR, Alabama 4. Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama 5. Jeffery Okudah, CB, OSU 6. Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson 7. Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville 8. Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa 8. Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn 9. Yetur Gross-Matos, DE, PSU 10. AJ Epenesa, DE, Iowa 11. Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia 12. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin 13. Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama 14. Tyler Biadasz, OL, Wisconsin 15. Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU 16. Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado 17. Curtis Weaver, DE, BSU 18. Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU 19. Prince Tega Wanogho

Trade up in the works?

Or OT. Wirfs, Wills or Becton would massively upgrade our OL. That is if Lamb, Ruggs and Jeudy are gone.

Dawson Knox will be a top 10 TE and a game changing player. Makes the Pro Bowl in 2020.

22: R1P22 EDGE A.J. EPENESA IOWA 54: R2P22 WR DENZEL MIMS BAYLOR 86: R3P22 EDGE KENNY WILLEKES MICHIGAN STATE 125: R4P22 TE ALBERT OKWUEGBUNAM MISSOURI 155: R5P9 OT CALVIN THROCKMORTON OREGON 167: R5P21 RB ZACK MOSS UTAH 188: R6P9 OT YASIR DURANT MISSOURI 201: R6P22 WR STEPHEN GUIDRY MISSISSIPPI STATE 207: R6P28 WR JUWAN JOHNSON OREGON

Ruggs won’t be there at 22. Not after the combine. Nor will Lamb or Jeudy. It comes down to Epenesa or Yetur Gross-Matos in RD1. Should be some damn good WRs left in RD2.

I think Yetur Gross-Matos is the guy at 22. If it weren’t for the hazing incident he’d be a top 15 lock. I think YGM is a 10 sack per year guy and would give us an elite edge rusher. I think the only way we don’t take him is if Lamb, Jeudy or Ruggs is there when we pick. Guys like Jefferson, Reagor and Aiyuk will be available for us RD2. You go EDGE RD1, WR RD2 and look for a guy like Gandy Golden, Juwan Johnson or KJ Hill RDS 3-5.
