Nwosu went in the area where they were drafting in the second round that year before they traded those two picks to move up for Josh Allen. So it makes sense that he may have been their target in the second before the trade up. Nwosu, Donte Jackson, Christian Kirk, Connor Williams, DJ Chark are all guys drafted in that area who are upcoming free agents. Those are the guys they missed out on as a result of the trade. No regerts there. They missed out on Fred Warner, Sam Hubbard, and Mark Andrews because they traded up for Edmunds. Def a little remorse there, but the thought process made sense.

They have a good defense, one of the best offensive lines in league, a running game with Chubb, they had OBJ and Jarvis LANDRY, and three very good tight ends. Their defense has the best defensive end in the league and some pretty good players. I would say that Mayfield is the problem.

To me the Bills have two options, either extend Edmunds now, or trade him now. If they believe in him, (whether the fans do or not is irrelevant) they should extend him now so you can include that qualifying offer money in the guaranteed money package. There is almost no benefit to waiting till next year. He is what he is, and he will probably get a little better over time. If you believe in him and are happy with what you are getting from him, based on what you are asking him to do, extend him now. If you aren't happy with his production, you should trade him now. If they trade him now, I'd go after Walker.

On the current roster it is AJ Klein. In free agency I love Anthony Walker Jr from the Browns. Dude plays downhill and instinctive. Very instinctive. Not as fast or as long as Edmunds, but he can play in this scheme. D’Vondre Campbell, Kwon Alexander, and Josey Jewell work for me as well. There are a whole bunch of guys in this year’s draft who make sense as well. I am not saying they should move on necessarily, but there are options.

He plays DE when they are in Nickel, which is out base D. Fit is probably fine. He has all the same measurables as Jerry Hughes. Dude has a non stop motor and is all over the field when you watch him play. Def more of an OLB, but he still fits here.

That is only if he is cut or traded pre June 1. Post June 1 cut or trade is a much smaller hit. Don’t know if it is likely, but it is totally doable.

Nwosu to me is just a younger Jerry Hughes, which would not be a bad thing. He does not fit the mold of what McDermott looks for in ends, but neither does Jerry.

Guy is a beast. I’m good with it.

I think Anderson goes in the 3rd. Still pretty raw but their is a lot to like.

What would be a big splash though? I want Brandon Scherff. That ain’t selling tickets. A Mack trade would make a ton of sense locally with the UB connects. McCaffrey? He crushes it in jersey sales etc and would be a great fit with Josh. I guess Gronk maybe. Outside of that, I am bot sure there is a big splash that makes sense.

This is silly. But i don’t think Phillips will be back. If you pay him you cut into the Oliver fund. They get the same, if bot better production out of Zimmer for a fraction of the price. I like Phillips, but it really depends on the numbers. Conversations and rumblings happen at the combine and he may already know his price.

I don't think it's going to matter how he throws. That is tiny by industry standards. I think the hands are going to take him off the board of any cold weather outdoor team. I think Dome teams will still consider him in the first, but I think this dings him pretty good. JMO. GMs and people say it doesn't matter, but for many teams it does.

Andy Isabella hands!

I get that their are other punters in the draft, but this regime has been pretty adamant about their preference of a lefty. They went after Bojo, Dustin Colquitt, Michael Palardy, and of course Haack. McDermott preaches field position and flipping the field etc. Araiza seems like exactly what they would want. I get that we don't punt a whole lot, but when we do typically all hell breaks loose. I think this guy makes too much sense. The issue is that there are a few teams with a lot of draft picks in first few rounds and someone will take him early.

Whoever we sign/draft to play corner opposite Tre.

I think people will forgive him if he also does the press conference with a beef on weck and bucket of blue cheese. Oh and he should jump through a table. Then, all is probably forgiven.

He has little baby hands. And to your point, with that catch radius he would not be a bad ball catcher. Kyler Murray is a not an accurate dude. Even with all those factors one would think he would at the very least make an impact in the return game. But it seems like he is a complete bust.

That is probably 100% his future, but they won't put him on TV with that lumberjack look. I also think he might make a very good coach down the line.

I don’t feel nostalgia towards Fitzy in any way. I mean it’s cool he was at the playoff game. But my feeling are meh. Maybe I am just cold, but I feel like those were some decent teams and he wasn’t good enough. And that contract they gave him was so short sighted, and they just kept on passing up QBs in the draft because they thought he was the guy which all leads up to the forced picked of EJ Manuel. I’d want to sign Jim Kelly down the line to a one day contract so he could get a ring with the Bills.

I am a huge McBeane supporter, and I think they take too much criticism at times. The one thing that sticks out to me, and bothers me, is their strange loyalty to players who aren’t getting it done. They seem to just wait too long to cut bait, or to try something different when the move is obvious. It started with Nate Peterman. Like what the hell was that about? Mike Tolbert? Seriously? The guy played way too much. Vlad Ducasse, just was so terrible and worse and worse every week, but he stayed in there. Ramon Humber, Jordan Mills. Philip Gaines, Marshall Newhouse, John Miller. Then came Trent Murphy and Jon Feliciano. Who needs Wyatt Teller when you have Jeremiah Sirles and Brian Winters? They just seem to take too long to make the move when they have younger guys waiting in the wings like Teller, like Bates. Would have been nice to have Brandon Powell returning kicks this year, but he was too busy playing in the Super Bowl. I have a lot of opinions on Tremaine on both sides. But, if they think he is the guy, they should extend him now. If they are on the fence, they need to trade him. What they can’t do is play out a lame duck year.

Andersen and Sky Moore always fall to me in mock draft simulator fun. Last time that happened was in 2017 when I almost always drafted some guy named Matt Milano with a late pick.

Definitely not the right move at this time. But they will have to reshape the room. I still have my money on Kyle Allen to be Josh’s long term #2. Then a very cheap veteran, a guy like Brian Hoyer, who is a good guy to have in the room but will never touch the field.

Just watch some all 22 film of him and you will forget that he is 290. The dude is a technician who plays with great leverage and has a very nasty streak. Excellent in pass pro, can really move and is great in the screen game.

I don’t think they will draft Linderbaum, but I think they should if he is there. Linderbaum is essentially a polished, slighty bigger Jason Kelce, who cane into the league at 280. I really want to see what Linderbaum benches at the combine, and his other measurables. I am not sure if he can play guard, but I do know that Mitch Morse can. Maybe a move to guard might actually protect Morse as he wont have 340 lb NTs right on his head. But I am not worried about Linderbaum. He plays with leverage, and while he could stand to add 10-15 pounds to his frame, I think he is going to be an all pro center right away. Former Iowa guy James Daniels came in a little undersized and didn't really take off until he added that nulk. I think the thing with Humphrey was that there was no combine, people saw a kind of sloppy body guy with a neck beard who snaps left handed, with inconsistent game film. He doesn’t pass the eye test in that way, so I think he is a bit of a unicorn. I fon’t think people thought he was going to be the elite athlete that he is. I don’t think center was on our radar, but I would feel worse if I were say the Eagles or Packers…teams who drafted centers before Humphrey.
