For me one of the more notable nuggets was the line about guys from other teams getting cut over the next few days for cap reasons who are being replaced through new draft picks; for me that raises the additional possibility of adding to certain position groups like WR, TE or Edge, where we could use more depth/competition. In other words, yet another source of additional help before we roll with what we’ve got?

We don’t know that actually happened. Also, the kid is not bereft of talent. He can flat out play. And haven’t we heard the line about he’s done his time so now let him play from how many other examples? The NFL never cares if you’re a bad apple or not, only if you have talent. And compared to more egregious examples (virtually the entire 2018 KC skill set players), his hardly registers on the meter.

Great post OP! This time of year tends to bring out the Chicken Little sky is falling types, precisely because the draft is such a subjective science and every draftnik out there thinks their take is the best one, and any deviation therefrom equals sure failure. I agree with your hesitation re DK or Butler slides, but overall I think they did a great job with once again improving our roster significantly from where we were before. That’s the key—by any objective measure, we are better than we were before the draft/FA. Take some deep breaths my cynical many times burned fellow Bills fans!

I didn’t realize that hot takes like this weren’t just an in-season occurrence? Saying we are in the same boat as 2018 at skill positions is simply not credible. We are significantly improved on paper already, and now need to see how it all comes together in camp/games. Cheer up Charlie, last year was rock bottom.

Given this regime’s already noted ability to turn over rocks and find legit contributors where others have passed (R. Foster maybe most glaring example), I’m still trusting the process and giving them benefit of the doubt; and it does look like this kid has solid tools—I’m really surprised by his 40 speed as such a big dude—love that!!

Coy did a fantastic job with that intro! I was hoping for WR though. Prove me wrong Beane!

But Donuts, did you answer the fundamental question of whether or not he’s also a jerk IRL? Inquiring minds want to know! (post of the day for you BTW!)

I know, it doesn't seem possible, right? But somehow even though he couldn't hold down the AZ gig, he's still managed that one. Sorry, just don't like him (from a fan standpoint only--I have no idea how he's like in "real life," FWIW).

This aged quite well... http://arizonasports.com/story/1512166/what-theyre-saying-about-the-cardinals-selection-of-josh-rosen/ In other news, Benoit who just gave us a "C" grade for Oliver, gave the Cards an "A" for Rosen in 2018. <sigh> to have job security like that guy with such meaningless hot air...

As if I needed another reason to actively dislike the Dolphins. Bring it!!!

Winter is Coming.

Yep--please no CB or S just yet McBeane!

that "35" year was not a good one for the Bills, although they bounced back somewhat after with the old group in 95, 96.

So then also doesn't have to set in the "down" 3 pt. stance position, right?

Looks better than the 35 in 94, or the 50th for that matter, imho.

^^^^This.

My cheapo commuter car has 50K, and my truck has 158,300 approx. I purposely bought an inexpensive 4-cylinder Jetta to run to work with that had low miles when I got it, and that will hopefully let my F150 live that much longer. Mildly impressive. By mildly I mean, did you also install a shower in the back so you can enjoy the inside of that ride even longer each day? That's a lot of WGR radio streaming, right?

This has probably been posted elsewhere already, but wanted to link to the go fund me for Pancho & his family that was set up by the Houston Bills Backers: https://www.gofundme.com/pancho-power If this isn't a good cause, I don't know what is. We open our wallets everyday for inconsequential things, this one would mean something.

I'm so dang proud to be a Bills fan right now, it's not even funny. An organization from the owner down that is looking to do things the right way, do right by its fans like this? Didn't think it was possible to be more proud than I already was, but this just makes my heart hurt, in a good way. Go Pancho, much love!

^^^^^This. How often has that happened over the previous 20+ years? It's our time now. NE, get out of the way, we've looked at your tail lights long enough, we're about to pass you in the fast lane

Appreciate the clarification and deeper dive!

Also, we will probably continue to have collective fits over everyone the Pats end up drafting—a Pavlov’s dogs type reaction that’s understandable for Bills fans as we conjure up pictures of how this new guy or that guy will be the key to Hoodie’s latest Rubik's cube of a scheme wrinkle to beat us in the 4th quarter. Except, to quote the Scorpions...winds of change are a comin’ people!! Oliver & co will take care of business. We have added legit studs besides Allen, on both sides of the ball compared to last season—significantly so.

Also RT only?

This my brutha, is my earnest hope and was the 2nd thought in my head right after, crap, wish we would’ve traded back in to grab this kid...

Time to submit your application for employ with OBD. Make it happen!!
