Ethan in Cleveland

WTF, how is this guy given a contract??? He's barely above PS talent. He could be replaced with any street free agent or 7th round draft pick. Complete was of cap space. First terrible move of the off season for Beane

I love Knox. I still think he had been criminally underused by our OCs. He has all the tools to be just as good as the elite TEs. Yss his hands are gross at times. But his run after catch is very good. Truly hope they find the magic of the two TE set next year. It can be lethal especially with a viable run threat from the OL and Cook

Agree. I would add a C/G on day 3. I'm not a big fan of OT in late rounds. I'd wait until next year and draft OT in round 1 or 2.

Last year I would have agreed with you. I thought OT or C would be top priority. Fast forward to now and I think Dawkins and Brown are fine at OT this year and we can get by at C with McGovern. The priority is WR and DL for this draft.

What is the positive? The cap will go up in the future. Other expensive players like Miller,Knox, and Diggs will come off the books in the next couple of years. Very few other elite players to have to pay in the immediate future. Must make moves to win now! Nobody that was released with the exception of Morse will be missed. And they have a viable plan to replace Morse.

Diggs is still elite. Josh missed him when wide open on deep shots several times late in the season including the Steelers playoff game. Yes he had that horrible drop in the KC game. I love Allen but his deep ball is inconsistent at best. You have to wonder if he caught that and scored a TD with the defender falling down, would there be any Diggs decline talk at all. All that said, Bills need to draft at least one if not two WRs. Bills thought Davis was going to be elite after the KC playoff game and it just never happened. They must get younger and bigger at the WR spot. A great QB should be able to elevate average WRs, but an elite WR will also make life easier for Josh.

Why ? He plays the hardest position on the defense and does it very well.

Nickel corners play well over 50% of all defensive snaps on almost every team. Taron was 89% last year. His position is hardly limited. Nickel is far more important than a 1 tech DT, an off ball LB, or even your safeties.

It's an interesting post. I would have Diggs and Cook included in your elites for Buffalo. Douglas is right on the cusp of elite too. After that, the OP premise is correct with many good players like Dawkins, Kincaid, Oliver, and Douglas. Benford and Bernard look well on their way to being very good just need a bigger sample size. Of course we lack an elite HC. But though I refuse to call Beane a genius, he probably is a top 5 and therefore elite GM One last point, an elite QB probably makes up for 5-10 other elite guys.

Watson is so incredibly bad. He has played two halfs of decent football. Other than that he has been absolute garbage. I can think of only one other QB that missed as much time as he has and came back to be decent. That was Vick after prison not coming off iniury and he had Andy Reid. These Browns fans are still clamoring for Flacco to come back. They think he was actually good He had the highest int rate in the NFL last year. He single handedly lost the playoff game for them. 100% agree. All he has to do is avoid getting suspended and he gets paid.

Brown and Sanders were solid players for us. Harty and Sherfield were terrible. No argument there. I would be perfectly fine if they drafted two WR if they had gotten a 3rd round comp pick. Now I say veteran WR and first round WR. Veteran safety and rookie Edge and DT.

I'd rather keep Morris than Gilliam. Don't really think they need either.

This sucks. Picking 30+ spots later really hurts.

Agree. White getting hurt is a plus and a minus. Douglas looks good and is far cheaper. That said White was playing well to start the year. Injuries just give the McD supporters an excuse. He had defensive collapses in the past with healthy squads too.

Player most likely to make an impact is probably not on the roster right now I will go with first round WR, 675 yards and 6 TDs

Numbers don't tell the full story here. It is true very few games missed on offense. I think the only starters to miss time were Knox and Davis and those were only a handful of games. On defense they lost arguably their best player at each level of the defense. Losing Milano 13 games plus playoffs was heartbreaking. Add the cluster of injuries at the LB spot and the impact was felt. All that said, and as you point out overall as a team they were healthy especially on offense.

We've never had a top 3 QB in the league Anything short of a Lombardi is failure No more moral victories No more successful seasons just making the playoffs. People's minds have been poisoned by 17 years of losing. When you have Josh Allen you should expect to win the SuperBowl

So per this thinking then losing in the playoffs is somehow acceptable? When does it become unacceptable?

Do you have the talent to make millions? Allen has the talent to win the SuperBowl! Agree he will have to overcome McDermott though

I'm sorry to be a broken record. We have a top 3 QB. If you expect anything less than the SuperBowl I really don't understand you. Please anyone that votes anything but SuperBowl win explain?

Hope they release him gently or he may get hurt

None of them except Jones AJE cant be gone fast enough Lawson, Phillips, and Settle will all struggle to find NFL jobs. Time to get young and fast on the DL. Rousseau, Miller, Oliver, and Jones are a decent core. Kingsley is nice depth. Add a second round edge and a FA DT and they will be set

My guess is they draft two WRs. One of them competes with Isabella for return duties. Hell I'd be happy with Hyde on a vet minimum contract to catch punts and be a mentor for a rookie safety. I would be perfectly happy if they rushed 11 and never even put a guy back there to catch the punt. Facetious I know but it would be a fun experiment to try.

18M for a safety. How the hell does that happen??? Seriously these GMs are morons. Two first round picks for Adams???

The whole situation smells like another McD screw up. The guy was injured but instead of putting him on IR they let him languish with no announcement and just sit him every week until they finally put him on IR. Maybe the player hid the injury which is stupid if true. Probably has as much raw talent as any CB on the team. As with all things I dont trust McDermott at all and place the blame with him until proven otherwise. I would not be surprised if he sits again while we suffer another year of this clown HC.
