Giving up that draft capital is too splashy for me this year... I hate trying to speculate now on the draft because it’s kinda pointless until we see what the outcome of FA is... However, I would hope they re- sign Williams, an upgrade at DE and an LB to replace Milano if he likely walks ... I’d consider a restructure of Brown and let Feliciano walk and cut Jefferson , Addison and Butler ... This leaves in no particular order for the draft holes at G, CB2, DT and TE ( less splashy than Pitts) and I wouldn’t hate them taking another swing at C, RB and DE with guys they can find on Day 3

I think we need the 2nd and 3rd this year in particular with lower cap and available space and no 4th either...

Pitts is a pipe dream unfortunately.... he will get picked in the Top 10 and Beane isn’t trading 2022 Number 1 and other picks to move up that far...

No chicks like her in Buffalo he could have met up with?

We will find out next year after he signs with the Bills...

I think The Draft Network site is the most realistic.

Yeesh.... Pick 173? He would need to get convicted to a 5 yr jail term before draft day to be picked this late.. Chad Reuter has got him at 39 https://www.nfl.com/news/three-round-2021-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-rashod-bateman-among-six-wrs-picked-in-round

Yeah I think there is a chance that one or both could be there at 30... My thoughts are though ... which one do the Bills want? Who is going to be the better fit ? Or is either ok? I don’t want them just taking the one that’s still there because they “need to take an RB”... In my very uneducated analysis to date... I think Etienne might be better for the Bills in 2021

Scuttlebutt on the Ravens forum (Russell Street Report) is that the Jaguars have offered up Pick 33 for him... Assume if this is the case you would be working out a longer term deal to go with the trade... Yep.. make of that what you will... Its a moot point because he aint coming here anyway ....

So we only have one more year?

Should we give up Pick 30 for him?

I would.. this year anyway for an Edge...does this make me a bad person?

The real question should be - Is he better than Etienne? LIke a couple of others.. wouldnt hate a RB but would prefer another solution to this problem ( Cheap FA or later in draft) and a DE with some upside at 30...

There will be a clean thread started when there is some real news ie .. Watson traded to (insert team here)...

Cheers for taking this with the intentions it was meant... just as some friendly banter... I agree that since those early days you have become a big Allen fan

Hey.. there has been some discussion in this thread that you used to be a Bills fan before the Mahomes draft .. is that really the case? I was sure you said you have been a Chiefs fan for quite a while on Chiefs Planet...

When he mentioned Rex and the Pegulas partying on the yacht I had this mental picture from The Wolf of Wall Street .. I mean Pegs looks like one outrageous party guy...

You may as well be happy/ optimistic with how it worked out .... what’s the alternative? Being upset/ disappointed about it?

I think you have mentioned before but cutting Morse only frees up about $5m space which you would likely spend ( and more) on Mongo... I would bring back Morse in 2021 as I believe he is the better C ...although not having Mongo as the backup C is a risk.. Longer term they need another answer which probably means looking to draft someone ... not sure if it will happen this year given some other holes... maybe a Day 3 guy with potential that they can take a flier on and develop to take over from Morse in 2022..

I don’t mind the timing... but even if if draft and FA were earlier, then you would have a longer wait for pre season... Plus some FA stuff will start leaking from this week anyway...

I will spend the next 7 weeks doing hundreds of mock drafts on the Draft Network simulator.... obsessing over who the Bills should take with their 5th and 6th round picks and reading through draft notes of a lot of guys that I will never come across again in my life... Then Beane will still end up taking a guy there that I have never heard of ...

Looks like I might be in the minority here but I think I don’t even want them to pay him $6M so I’d be happy to move on from him...Not overly impressed with him in the AFCCG.. Invest a high pick in the draft and maybe find a cheaper FA...Beane seems to do ok finding bargain basement OL guys ...

Lighten up Francis.

Yeah... particularly after the display the Chiefs o produced yesterday...it deserved to be made fun of.. If someone wants to make fun of the Bills losing games from last century i couldnt care less..

He will probably be looking around $6-7M ... Can they afford that this off season for CB2 or I think more likely they go with what they have in house and maybe pick another guy In the draft to battle it our..
