  1. Exactly. All the time people wanted Beane to invest in the offense but it doesn't come without consequences. For me, if it means that we get much weaker at MLB so be it.
  2. I get what you are saying but I see it differently when it comes to Von. I actually don't want him to start the season. I hope he starts later, gets into the form by the end of the season and peaks in PO. Less (fewer?) games he plays lower the chance he gets injured. I want us for once to have a different season. Let's start with lot of question marks, with some losses to tough teams, and get it together when it matters. Von's injury could be blessing in disguise in this respect (I mean for the next season, it wasn't one for the last). I am perfectly fine with drafting edge if he is clearly a BPA though.
  3. Oh cmon man You start with calling something which is at best really an out-of-the-box idea (and I am not saying a bad one) an OBVIOUS solution using caps lock and then call rude someone who is joking about it? Cmon I get what you are saying, but if you (or Beane) can see there are 20 first rounds grades, so do other GMs. Why would anybody wanted to trade up?
  4. This should be definitely included in the poll @Virgil
  5. Nice list but if you really meant Broderick Jones he was already taken. If @Virgil wants 13 names I'd say WR Addison, Flowers, Hyatt, Downs TE Meyer, Washington OL Torrence, Harrison, D. Jones EDGE N. Smith LB Sanders, Campbell I'd throw there RB Gibbs just for fun Some of those will be taken though. So maybe add WR Rice, S Johnson or DL Breese
  6. I think that things are shaping out nicely for Jack Campbell
  7. Any idea what's their solution at QB if they get rid of Jones? Bailey Zappe? Or did I miss something?
  8. I agree that there are probably less guys "worth" picking in the first this year than usual, but I disagree with the bolded. If we take 27th best player with 27th pick it is not a reach, even if such player has 2nd round grade by normal standards. If the draft is worse than usual, it is what it is. Just pick the best guy available at each spot. Trade up if you can ***** much better guy, trade down if it is the best solution and there is a partner. But this is something what you should no matter how strong the draft is.
  9. Now this is encouraging, last time I checked the other thread about meeting with prospects it seemed that we are completely ignoring OL. I really hope we draft one in the first two rounds.
  10. So it really means that Rapp was also signed under $2M. Cool
  11. Love these Virgil, thanks for doing it. I won't participate on anything longer than one round but I enjoy any draft simulation. Btw, I am setting over/under for @GunnerBill saying that it is **** draft in Mock no. 1 at 2.5
  12. 1. Salary cap is a real thing and we have borrowed from the future quite a lot already (Beane knows this and was super conservative this offseason). 2. We overpaid for Von Miller, in a sense that he would've come cheaper (He is still great player though). 3. We might never win a SB even with Josh, since you also need a lots of luck a some franchises just don't have it (I already made a peace with it and try to enjoy every season nevertheless). These are some major ones from the top of my head. Many others were already mentioned. Edit: I'll add 4 somewhat related to 1 and 2: Diggs' and Miller's contracts are both one year too long and will cause us some cap trouble in two years (or even next year, if we don't win it all and Diggs won't take it well).
  13. Harris, Sherfield and Allen don't count for sure. We don't know about Edwards yet but I am pretty sure Beane knows what is in stake and made sure he won't count. https://overthecap.com/compensatory-picks
  14. Yes. And it looks more and more likely we get it, unless we sign a FA for over $2.5m. We signed 2 who qualify (McGovern, Harty) and let go 3 (Edmunds, Keenum, Singletary).
  15. Yeah something has to be wrong there, it sounds really weird.
  16. Nice summary, and I fully agree with the bolded. I think its worth adding that not all FAs count AFAIK, only those whose contract ended, not those who were cut. Or something like this. Yes, and this is a good source for this information: https://overthecap.com/compensatory-picks
  17. This is great, I hope it stays that way. Extra 3 round pick always helps. If I were Beane I would be really careful who to sign now since it has to be worth it, which is unlikely.
  18. I think Beane knows that and he is only traded if we get some WR or maybe OL upgrade in return.
  19. Educated guess, I guess? I just think that people here don't believe that Bills FO can evolve. Yes they invested little bit more in the defense in the past, but I think that they now see what most people on this board see. I can't exclude that they will draft LB in round 1, if there is a value, but I am pretty sure that they overall focus will be offense. Just my opinion of course.
  20. I don't understand why people worry so much about WR room being set. There is like 85%+ chance that we draft WR in rounds 1-3 imo. I doesn't guarantee that WR room will be upgraded but FO will try for sure.
  21. Assuming that "up to" means he is in fact over the threshold I hope it does and also hope we don't sign anyone, unless it is really worth it. 3rd round comp pick is too much of a value to be lost for random UFA. Also sad to see Motor go.
