I mean, this can’t be real...did Sammy Watkins draw this with a crayon?

He likely showed up early to walk around the facility making sure the devil wasn’t hiding in any of the trashcans.

Wait was it one or two first round picks he was traded for? I forgot.... But seriously, he’s an idiot and a weirdo and while he has talent he seems to lack that competitive edge to be great. He’s a follower, not an alpha. Oh well. Should have just been Mack. I don’t wish harm on the guy, but in twenty years this is going to be the guy they are talking about eating out of garbage cans down by the river and engaging in lewd acts with raccoons after pawning his super bowl ring in exchange for a Mr potato head toy who “talks” to him ...not because he ran out of money, just because he’s nuts.

They feel totally different to me. Freddy was a small school guy who was slept on for so long and kept grinding and when he got his shot, he proved he was a playmaker. Duke was a guy in the limelight, who blew all of the chances he had and then had to grind to get another shot. While he made some nice plays for us, he’s kind of look like a jag. And when ur number is called a limited amount, you have to catch the ball. The way that Hodgins catches the ball, he easily beats Duke out. He can do everything Duke can, but better, plus he’s younger. Duke is stronger, but Hodgins has him beat everywhere else. I was excited about Duke, I watched a ton of him at Auburn, but I think he is going to struggle to make the team. I won’t count him out, but he is closer to “out of the league” than anything remotely approaching Fred Jackson.

The Gilliam guy is intriguing as an athlete, but again has no stats or anything. What I find most interesting is his length. On his 6-1, 255lbs frame, he’s got super long arms, a wingspan nearly the size of Tee Higgins, and that is why those blocked kicks are a thing. So it’s an upside play. I’ve never seen the guy play, so expecting him to beat out DiMarco does not seem likely. He definitely sounds like a practice squad candidate.

Epenesa for sure, and maybe he won’t actually “start” but he will get a starter’s percentage of the rotation. As others have said, Bass as well.

Teams with QBs on rookie deals could manage. Teams that are paying one guy 30 plus million are probably screwed.

I do not think they are going to miss Collins or Shelton. They really like Adam Butler on the dline. They still have Lawrence Guy, who nobody on our team could block last year, and there is a chance that a guy like Derek Rivers finally puts it together. I don't like Josh Uche as a prospect, but I think he can replace some of what Collins brought to the table. I do think that they guy they are really going to miss is Van Noy. I think he is a pretty underrated player. However, they always get production out of linebackers off the street like Elandon Roberts, Marquis Flowers, Jonathan Casillas, Ramon Humber. So I don't worry about them there. I think they have a really good line and good running backs. Now I do not think that Stidham is going to be very good, but I think he is better than lot of people are making him out to be. He has some tools. And for a less than ideal QB to have success you need two things: a good offensive line and a strong run game. So I would not right them off completely, but I do think they are the second best team in the division behind us.

I’m willing to be a big boy and admit that I really liked Trubisky and Mahomes. I did not like Watson. But I thought the Bills were going to draft Marshon Lattimore.

I’d say Spain, Feliciano, Josh Norman

I think it will be Oliver and Jefferson on passing downs in the interior. Phillips and Epenesa rotating through. I think a lot of Bills fans are underestimating how much Jefferson and Vernon Butler are going to be on the field.

I could see an Alec Ogeltree or a Nigel Bradham adding to their linebacker corps.

It looks like he replaces the personality that went out the door with Shaq and Phillips

I get that they may not have been interested in the QB in 2017, but where is the proof that they would not have drafted Trubisky? Obviously they had zero plans to draft Mahomes or Watson, that is a proven fact, But there is no proof (that I have seen) that they would have passed on Trubisky at 10. I feel like that is something we can never know definitively, unless I am missing something. The Panthers scouted him, they were at his pro day, and he was in their back yard. Whether Beane was leaking info to McDermott or not, coach would have known enough about Trubisky to take him if he wanted, and the owner flew down to meet him? I get that they were working that trade down for awhile, but maybe they did not have the firepower to trade up. Remember that the Bears traded up one spot with the Niners to take Trubisky, so there had to be another suitor sniffing around for the Bears to make that move. Again, I am not saying the I know anything for sure, I am just saying I want to see the proof that Bills were not going to draft Trubisky. I do believe that they were punting on the QB that year, but I think that decision came when they knew they could not get Trubisky. It is just my opinion and not based on fact.

It got weird in here

Totally 100% agree with this. He is a great SAM fit and his long arms would help him in 4-3 under looks.

Brandon Reilly

To me the fact that they non tendered McKenzie, nobody signed him, and then they re-signed him for peanuts, tells us what we need to know about McKenzie. He will be available after getting cut to be signed in case of an injury. I also think a guy like Taiwan Jones could provide a jet sweep or two. I think they keep six, including the two rookies and Roberts. Out of the incumbents, imo Foster has the best chance to stick becuase of his ability as a gunner.

Imo Davis and Hodgins both make the team. McKenzie, Duke, Foster are all likely gone.

It definitely stings, but I like the fit with Foles. Getting a vet familiar who excelled in that system in the past is a great move. Their defense is pretty good so I actually think they could have a nice year. The whole Trubisky thing sucks, but they just have to try to find another guy in the draft and Foles gives them some options.

All good. All we can do is wait and see I suppose.

I don’t know man. I’m on the other side, as I think he is one of the most overrated qbs in the league. That game against the Eagles in week 16 I think proved who he was. That was a game they needed more than any other and played like a more athletic Trent Edwards, dinking and dunking to 9 points. If the Cowboys give him that contract, it will be one of the worst albatrosses in the entire league in my opinion. Dalton in front of that line, with that run game, and those weapons I feel could outperform Dak. If Dak makes it to free agency what kind of contract does he get? Who would even be interested? I don’t think he gets anything close to what he is asking. The Cowgirls are negotiating against themselves imo.

I agree 100%. I really don’t get it and I wish one of these Buffalo reporters would ask the braintrust why they believe in Bojo and Vedvik so much instead of tossing them softball questions. I get that iron sharpens iron, but crap vs more crap, is just a big pile of doodoo. My best guess, is maybe they talked to Turk and want to work him out before they sign him. So maybe that’s the hold up, at least that’s what I am hoping. Maybe Turk wants a significant guarantee, which might explain why he is unsigned, or maybe he is hurt. Maybe the Bills told him they would be interested in giving him the guarantee he wants, but they have to see him workout first? ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️
