Ty Dunne: Motor can lift Bills to super bowl
ColoradoBills replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Johnson and Wallace are FAs next year. As to last years $, drafting a starting quality CB will lower that number. As for this year the cap for CB is low even with Tre. -
Broncos acquire QB Teddy Bridgewater for 6th round pick
ColoradoBills replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
LOL. Now all my friends who are Donkey fans here in Colorado will have the QB controversy as soon as Lock has a bad game! Way to go Elway. -
Ty Dunne: Motor can lift Bills to super bowl
ColoradoBills replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If it's a passing league wouldn't a team wanting to get into shootouts want at least a competent backfield? A CB in the 1st couple of rounds seems like a need. Like I've said 3 times in the last few day the Bills only have Tre and Dane Jackson signed for next year. -
McShay- Bills trying to move up above 23 for Etienne
ColoradoBills replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's pretty crazy that all 3 of the big RBs don't go until the 3rd round! -
Don't care if it's the 1st or 2nd round but Beane most likely will get a CB. If he can trade back a few spots and get one in the top of the 2nd it's fine with me. If he trades up a couple of spots to get one once again fine by me. It's a critical need also. No other position is that thin going into next year. Currently only Tre and Dane Jackson signed as CBs for next year.

The Great Tremaine Edmunds Debate
ColoradoBills replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think there could be a chance of that happening. It's what makes the draft exciting. -
I wonder if there are fans on the KC Chiefs board that lament waiving Ike B. a few years back? You know it would happen on this board is the reverse was true.
-
We both agree on that. There is the right time for everything. A team like KC is much farther down the road in it's development than the Bills so I see no reason to push the "process" because of them. I say that because it's an opinion of a lot of fans (not necessarily you). This coming year will answer a lot of fans questions as to where the Bills are in their assent and how long that may or may not last. To me Josh Allen's progression or regression is much more important than lets say a better TE. As to the SB thing. It's a matter of opinion about a one and done team. As for the Falcons they didn't even get their one so imagine if that happened to this current Bills team how this board/fans would react. Other recent teams that tried that push like the Rams failed too. I will agree that the Eagles made that push a few seasons ago and reaped it's one year of benefits. I may be totally wrong but right now I believe that slow and steady improvement is what's needed THIS year. I also have a strong feeling that every Bills player knows they each has to incrementally improve to become champions or they will be wearing another jersey. I would like to see if that happens this year. Maybe my age has made me a bit more patient than others. LOL.

Dynasty is a bit strong of a term for what Beane and McDermott are in the process of building. Lets all remember if it wasn't for the vision of those 2 men we would not be in the position to have this discussion in the first place. They are here for another 5 years and have what seems to be a good plan that I personally am happy to watch unfold. It's draft week and there is a lot of armchair GM talk about what the Bills NEED to do. I'll wait till Thursday and Friday to see what happens. For my money I will be SHOCKED if there is this huge move up in the 1st round by the Bills.
-
I totally agree with you and others that have stated the obvious! If Beane has a target or 2 and can trade down this year and come away with a 3rd or 4th next year along with a 5-7 I would be so happy. These type of threads are all about risking the future because "we are 1 player away". I think that's wrong. @transplantbillsfan, it's true about ATL going all in on Julio but look where it's left them a few years later. In the basement trying to unload him.

Ty Dunne: Motor can lift Bills to super bowl
ColoradoBills replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All good points and I will add what I have been saying that this year will have a bigger emphasis in the running game during camp. But, all the RBs will be judged running behind the current OL and that's just the way it's going to be. -
Ty Dunne: Motor can lift Bills to super bowl
ColoradoBills replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Moss seems to have found a niche on the team being able to run and catch fairly well with very good pass blocking skills. These reasons seem to make him a lock for the next few years. Breida has been brought in for a speedier change of pace back. We'll see if that works or not but if it doesn't I think Beane will try to "refill" that style next year. It would not surprise me that a speedy RB is brought in with a 5th thru 7th round pick to compete for that role. Singletary is at the crossroads in his career with the Bills this year. I truly hope this training helps improve his play. He's coming into his 3rd season of a 4 year contract and he and everyone knows it's his "do or die" year. Unless Breida fails to impress in camp Devin will be in a fight to dress for games and will have Antonio Williams and maybe even a late round BPA RB pushing him for playing time. It will be even tougher if a RB is selected earlier than the 2nd 5th rounder. He knows he needs to play better and is evidently working on it! How anyone can see it differently is a puzzle to me. -
Falcons Shopping Julio Jones
ColoradoBills replied to Mike in Horseheads's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They would be fools to do that. Trade out of the 4th for a 2022 #1 and go into tank mode. Their roster and money is a mess. -
Falcons Shopping Julio Jones
ColoradoBills replied to Mike in Horseheads's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Atlanta will settle for a 2nd in a heartbeat. Still wouldn't do it if I was Beane. Falcons should be in tank mode if they could dump Julio Jones and Grady Jarrett. Force Matt Ryan and Jake Matthews's hand for 2022. Those 2 count $72M in cap in 2022 after all of their "restructuring". They were fools. -
Are sports’ drafts fair to the players?

Orlando Brown traded to the Chiefs for 1st Rd Pick
ColoradoBills replied to CaptnCoke11's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are right. Chiefs are employing an interesting strategy that has worked well so far. If they can keep their 7-8 stars healthy and playing at elite levels they can absorb the risk, if they can't they open themselves up to what happen to them in the SB. Only time will tell how it works in the long run. Brown will want $20M per year so we'll see if he signs with the Chiefs or if he is just an expensive rental. It seems to me they are expecting the cap to go up more than many think. -
Best player for immediate upgrade to our starting lineup.
ColoradoBills replied to gjv's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Definitely agree with you about CB. I truly will be a little shocked if one is not picked in the first 2 rounds. Lots of fans concerned about WRs leaving or getting old starting next year. I would like state that currently the Bills have 2 CBs signed next year (Tre and Dane Jackson). -
Potential Hint to Draft Priorities?
ColoradoBills replied to glazeduck's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cole Beasley is not a FA next year. He is under contract thru 2022. -
Potential Hint to Draft Priorities?
ColoradoBills replied to glazeduck's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
#1WRs cost a lot of money. The Bills have Diggs for that role. My point is that Beane could draft a WR in round 3-5. I see no NEED to draft one in the 1st or even the 2nd. We will see next week what will happen. -
Potential Hint to Draft Priorities?
ColoradoBills replied to glazeduck's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't see the WR need either. It has become another "obsession" lately. I will make a few statements/facts about WR. 1. The highest drafted WR on the Bills is Sanders who was a 3rd rounder (Pick #82). This includes recently released Josh Brown (Pick #91). The Bills have a great WR room for the 2021 season and NONE are top picks in any draft. 2. Diggs cost a 1st+ BUT WRs have a long shelf life as compared to lets say RBs. It's not a bad idea to take at least 1-2 WRs in FA. 3. My most important statement: Is there anyone who seriously thinks that if the Bills find themselves next year needing a WR that the upcoming Free Agency would not be full of players wanting to come to Buffalo to catch balls thrown by Josh Allen? 4. The Bills had 8 plays (THAT IS 8 PLAYS) last year with a 5 WR set. Only 15% (not a small number) but only 15% with a 4 WR set. This "fantasy" that the Bills need 5-6 top line WRs is not based in reality. The Bills already have Diggs and to add to that Josh Allen has proven to spread the ball around like a HOF QB. I'm not saying drafting a WR is a bad move, I'm just saying I don't think it's an imperative need to in the first couple of rounds. IMO.
