I’ve heard Beane bring this up repeatedly. That both these positions are deep, as well as offensive line. Makes me think that they’re going to go for an edge rusher in the 1st Round as there isn’t much depth, plus Hughes & Lawson could both be gone next season and Murphy is always a health question. Even if they ended up signing a guy like Ansah, I see a defensive end as their main target. They might try to move down and get their guy, but they’ll go for one. The main three i see them being in the range for are Sweat, Burns & Ferrell. Sweat to me seems like their type. 1. Senior 2. Has put up solid numbers 3. Prototype body 4. No off-field issues 5. No “motor” questions

Special teams guy

I didn’t realize coaches under contract could leave for other head coaching positions... seems like a bad way to have things set up in the NCAA.

How much correlation has there been with visiting & being picked by the Bills? I didnt look look at their visits from 2017 & 2018, but how many of those guys that visited were actually drafted by McDermott (2017) and McBeane (2018)?

Good move

I agree that they’ll draft a defensive lineman in the 1st. The talent at the top, both edge and interior, is elite. A guy like Christian Wilkins is usually a consensus top-10 to 12 pick as an interior guy. This year he might go towards the end of the first round. They built up their offense in free agency so they could go BPA in the 1st Round. If they can get their hands on an Ed Oliver, Montez Sweat or Christian Wilkins, I think they’re taking it.

I wonder if they have him rated higher than Sweat. Both are very good. Burns isn’t necessarily their prototype in terms of weight. Sweat had the documented heart issue, but were not exactly sure what it is or how severe, so nobody knows how each team individually values the risk of that becoming an issue.

I think it’s very possible. Something along the the lines of what Baltimore did last year. I could see the Bills going edge at 9 (Sweat or Burns?) and then trading back into the 1st to get someone like Fant ahead of the Patriots. Baltimore used a late 4th Round Pick (125th overall) along with their 2nd Round Pick in 2019 to move from 52 to 32, twenty spots. 32nd overall = 590pts 52nd overall= 380pts 125th overall= 47pts 2019 2nd Round Pick= 210pts 637points total -this was using Jimmy Johnson’s draft value chart. So Baltimore had to pay maybe a bit more than the true value, but at the same time, they were able to draft a quarterback. Also, 1st rounders do have the 5th year option, which basically gives the team an extra year of player control if they wish. I could see somehing like #40+#112+ Shaq Lawson to move up to #29 #29= 640pts #40= 500pts #112= 70pts and I would assume Shaq is worth an early forth, so say another 85pts for Lawson. Total= 655 Maybe Buffalo adds a small 2020 pick as well? But I could see something like this getting them a second 1st Round Draft Pick in 2019. Just far enough ahead of New England to take Noah Fant

If the Giants pass on Haskins, likely going defense or offensive line, I think it increases the chances we move down. i believe teams will be uncomfortable mortgaging a lot of capital to move up to the top 2-3 picks for a QB like Haskins. i also believe Arizona will select Murray#1 overall, opening up the possibility that Rosen is traded, which will make the QB market even smaller. At that point, 7 non-QB’s will have been selected. My guess is that Bosa, Q. Williams, J. Allen, E. Oliver and at least one of J. Taylor and J. Williams will be gone. BPA at that point could be between Devin White, Ferrell, Wilkins, Hockenson/Fant... If I’m Brandon Beane I’m doing whatever I can to move down if someone wants Haskins. I’m not sure if that’s Washington or Miami, but I’d assume at least one of the two would be interested.

True. Could be argued they need a core piece on the d-line. But I think it could wait. I’d go after a target for Allen over the middle. We have outside speed with Foster & Brown. We have slot guys in Beasley, McKenzie, & Zay Jones. We need a big target over the middle. Hockenson or Fant are perfec fits for that.

I won’t change your mind bc I would be good with it. He’d be Allen’s version of Greg Olsen. i want them to draft talent on offense. I believe they can coach defense well enough to get production out of middling talents that work hard.

I think he’s an under the radar guy that they’ll take somewhere in the 4th or 5th round. Productive but at smaller football school didn’t get a lot of recognition. I believe he was their first interview at the senior bowl. I think they have their blue chips on defense and are now looking to find fits lower in th draft that they can mold and develop. Perfect fit fit for the 3-technique

He’s still unsigned, correct?

I think rounds 1-3 will be TE, DL, OL. Not sure what order, but those will be the positions they go for. I would hope the try to move down, gain some more picks and pick a tight end later in round one

That would be the best part of free agency. He might’ve preferred Buffalo over the Jets, and now that NYC is his only option is willing to take a bit of a discount to stay in Colorado.

This is what I like. Theyre using the space now to bring the guys in, pay them early, and if it doesn’t work out it won’t be a crazy amount of dead cap.

I wonder if he’s deciding between money & role. If he’s looking at the Jets, Browns & the Bills, Buffalo might be the only spot where he’d be the clear #1, which is what he views himself as. In Cleveland he’d be behind Landry, and with the Jets you could argue he’d be behind Robby Anderson. Maybe Buffalo is offering less than the other teams, but something more short term with promise of a bigger role on the team? Just a thought.

After Antonio Brown & now hearing about Frank Clark, I have a theory... instead of trading trading down in the draft and gaining draft picks, the Bills are attempting to trade down but gain a player instead of a draft pick or multiple picks. Similar to what they did with Cordy Glenn last season except on the opposite end. Buffalo moves down and adds a roster player.

I’m expecting he’ll get a deal that is heavily incentivized by games played. Seeing what they did with Spencer Long’s contract is edpect something similar

I’d like him or Morse, along with Daryl Williams. Then trade down, grab Risner late in the first and he can be your flex guy for a year or two.

1yr prove-it deal

This seems like the reasoning. And yes, for s guy who could play tackle or guard, that screams Bills. I’d see what they want. He’s 28. Sign him, sign a center, trade down, draft a tackle. New offensive line done.

I think a lot of Harry looking slow is if you watch a lot of his catches he’s coming back to the ball because his QB underthrows him.

I prefer Harry. Put up numbers. No injury history. Big bodied. Good 40 time to show he has speed.

I’d take a look. Solid veteran who knows how to run an offensive line
