VPG should start camp taking almost all the 2nd team Center snaps for Trubisky. Mitchell can help Sedrick a lot with what an NFL Center needs to do. Giving him some OG snaps with the 2s is fine but if he is looking decent with the 2s at Center then he should be getting some C snaps with the 1s as soon as possible. If he isn't excelling at C with the 2s as much as they hoped for then he would need more snaps at OG. With 44 starts on a highly talented college team, he should be able to come along at C pretty quickly.

Just looked up Bass's splits. He is 17 of 17 in domes/retractable roof stadiums. 82% outdoors. FWIW.

Shakir will get a full season of use and his per game usage will increase from last year. This is just a fact. What he does with those targets will determine how much of an increase he will see. I expect him to do well this season.

Beane restructured most of Josh's cap hit. You can't do it all every year. Bills are not unique doing this. The Chiefs and Rams are not taking out all the money from their QBs either.

Johnson signed a $1.15M contract with $667k guaranteed. Cutting him and keeping Gore would cost more than just keeping Ty. I see it's Johnson's job to lose the RB3 role. I see Ty on the team this year and Gore to the PS if he is looking ok. Gore has to show something on special teams if he wants a job this or next year.

The barge that ran into the Baltimore bridge about a month ago is going to cost $1.7B-$1.9B before any cost overrides and take 4 years. That's for a bridge. The infrastructure of a stadium is a lot more. https://www.wbaltv.com/article/key-bridge-collapse-rebuild-bridge-process-baltimore/60721790#:~:text=the procurement process.-,ALSO%3A Maryland plans to rebuild the Key Bridge in just,%241.7 billion and %241.9 billion.

IMO, Beane has to be looking around to sign another CB after June 1st. Elam stays even if that happens.

90 players currently signed. With the international player that leaves 1 spot left before any musical chairs start. Spotrac is caught up with the UDFAs and only the rookies left to account for. I figure around $1.7M of Top 51 cap to sign the rookies. Spotrac has Bills at $2.98M minus the $1.7M leaves about $1.28M before the Tre money gets released June 1st. Gives Beane enough to sign 1-2 cheap FAs with enough left over for PS and season cash. All in all, Beane did OK with his cap so far considering all the changes. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/_/year/2024 https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cba/rookie-scale

During Tommy Sherman's Buffalo Bills career, he had a 100% completion record and a 50% TD%.

We drove in the snow to the airport to greet the Bills after the Boston Patriot game that put them in the playoff in '64. That was nuts. The Bills moved the flight to Rochester. Fans were running around on the tarmac.

Moments like this is not all on the coaches. Morse and Allen could have adjusted the blocking scheme. I'd like Josh to take charge more of things like this. He's a willy vet now.

That is the first game I can remember as a kid. My parents and older brothers were fixed around the radio. The start of the 1964 season, I was hooked.

He was incorrect. If they get a 4th and 5th it would be: 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6.

Seems like it's "tradition". Caution: Rated R video.

The thing is Morrow was signed early in the year. These signing typically have to have some sort of guaranteed money. Bills had no idea if they would have picks for a guy like Ulofoshino. Jones on a vet minimum with no guarantee is a no-brainer but once again, he wasn't on the team at the time of the Morrow signing. Morrow still can make the team when Ulofoshino ends up on IR with bunions. The way I see it there is going to be some fierce competition for the depth LB spots after Milano, Bernard, Williams. Spector (with his ST play) probably is penciled in, but camp will decide that for sure.

Enjoy watching these Embedded Draft videos every year. That being said, just like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano we also get the return of the yearly Beane vs McDermott power struggle, Beane got fleeced on his trade, Beane is lying about how much he like a player, among the other classic draft nuggets. I do like this year's new twist on the "Beane doesn't have a clue on the importance of the 5th Year Option". It was a nice change of pace. Can't wait for next year's draft video! My favorite part was when Beane replied to Laura Pegula's question about who they were going to pick with, "We're just going to keep on trading. We're going to get fourteen 5ths". That was gold Jerry, gold!

I too agree with Brady and the OL. VPG has had a lot of college starts. Also sounds like he is a pretty smart football player. If he can start and not be a liability, having McGovern back at LG could really benefit him and fast-track his development. Having Torrence going into his 2nd year should anchor him with Brown better. That would mean Knox (when playing) can help with blocking but release quicker and more often into his passing routes. Sounds like Davis is pretty good at pass blocking. If all these things can come together Josh could have cleaner pockets to play from. I've been waiting for the day Josh can stay calm in the pocket for a little longer. I think once he gets use to that he will be deadly.

If Rice misses a lot of games, it puts even more pressure on 35-year-old Kelce to not let his game decline.

Hearing the input for some of the posters is the reason I am on the board.

All true Shaw but Beane, the teams coaching staff, and the scouts have a lot more detailed info than just players' tape. Interviewing players, former coaches and just the scouting process itself gives them a lot more input than fans get. College players stats/play can also be driven by the scheme and other talent on their team. How these guys transfer their skills to the NFL and to a particular NFL teams' scheme can't be easy for even an informed fan. Heck, the Bills staff even get input from current players already on the team about these guys. Sprinkle in some analytics on these players and that's a lot of details to consider. I see a lot of people at OBD who collectively, have input in putting together the teams' draft board.

Claypoole - 873 yards Samuel - 851 yards Hollins - 690 yards Shakir - 611 yards Hamler - 381 yards Total of 3406 yards for their career highs including both Claypoole and Hamler in their rookie years. 2023 Buffalo Bills entire WR yardage was 2776. When I can reasonably assume Shakir will surpass his 2023 totals I fail to see how "impossible" this scenario is. We can subtract Claypoole's numbers and substitute Coleman (both would be rookie numbers). When I add a small factor of Josh Allen throwing footballs to these guys compared to the QBs throwing balls to Samuel, Hollins and Hamler, I can see the 3406 being reached and maybe, even higher. Add in Kincaid, Cook, Knox and Davis and I can see a scenario where Josh Allen surpasses his 4306 yards total from last season. I will be a broken record adding that the real factors in this year's offense is the perceived improve OL play and a more experienced Brady. Yes, the Bills WR room can improve its talent but it's not nearly the disaster some fans are insinuating. I'm going to wait to see how camp and the season progresses.

Pretty cool video. Construction seems to be moving along well. Can't wait to see a game there. That's a lot of steel and concrete!

Leave my goddaughter alone!

LOL. You think Brandon Beane's "life strategy" is dependent on Chase Claypoole's career outcome in Buffalo? Claypoole has been a "knucklehead". He's down to his last chance in his NFL career. No one is waiting on him, the choice is his. FTR, I have known many family members and friends who changed their life ways in their middle 20s. The only one who knows what kind of effort Chase Claypoole will put in is Chase.

They haven't "given" money to Chase yet. He will want over $30M AAV. Higgins is an UFA next year. They used the tag because they WILL NOT have both next season on the team. Higgins will want over $20M AAV. They got a lot of cap space next year, but they are not signing both to high dollar long term contracts. Not with that owner and not with Burrows contract kicking in. It's all-in for them this year and the owner still has $23M in cap space!
