Hey that's fair. I generally agree with you. I think few people would draft OT in the first round knowing they would only be a RT. I think most OTs in the first round are projected to eventually be a LT or a standout G. I guess my contraband point is superstar can be found in the later rounds too. And I don't think position and round should have anything to do with each other. To take the opposite approach and prove my point, QBs are always overvalued and team after team blow first round picks on QBs that probably grade out much lower against other players at other positions. Lastly, I say just get talent. They need youth and cheap contracts in multiple spots to stay competitive.

Bills will add at least 4 more Free Agents
Ethan in Cleveland replied to khlax3's topic in The Stadium Wall
One of those two will be sitting the majority of the game. Getting some reps at nickel in OTAs and training camp is the time to see how they do. Both Elam and Jackson are far better than Neal or Lewis. Put your best guys on the field. Its not like they don't play some man to man sometimes and have to play close to the line as the offense may dictate even when they line up outside. -
Lane Johnson best RT in football. Drafted first round. 1 SB ring and 2 SB appearances. Try harder

Ethan in Cleveland replied to khlax3's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why not Jackson or Elam in the slot if Taron got hurt? They would be far better than Lewis. One of those two will be the #3 CB. Elam has good man to man skills so maybe he can drop inside if needed. -
The Cincy game & its affect on how we view the team

That is certainly plausible -
The Cincy game & its affect on how we view the team
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
And yet they were losing at home in the playoffs in the 3rd quarter against a 3rd string QB and RB. -
The Cincy game & its affect on how we view the team
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's far more than one game. Its Nathan Peterman It's defense choking at Houston It's 13 seconds Its watching the whole offense struggle for 2/3rd of last season It's watching a defensive minded coach waste the best QB in Bills history. It's going into a game against KC and now Cincinnati knowing we will be outcoached and Allen is our only hope. -
If they are truly committed to playing some double TE sets then yes, it would be a good year to get a #2 TE. The problem is we can't get Dorsey and Allen to get enough targets to Knox. TE, or WR, or both in the first two rounds would be fine with me. Honestly they truly could go BPA at every position except QB, S, RB, CB, and OLB in the first four rounds and I would be fine. They need DL, MLB, WR, TE, C/G, and OT in no particular order. They have never had a ProBowl TE since the merger of the AFL/NFL. It is the worst franchise position group in the history of the NFL.

Singletary is worth more to the Bills signing somewhere else so we get the Edmunds comp pick than he is bringing back. He is nothing special but he is not bad either. Doesn't have that many carries. He and Cook would be fine for another year but so would just about any other RB to pair with Cook. I'd rather see Fournette on a 2 yr deal. He is a big back and excellent in pass blocking. He was released do doesn't count against you in the comp pick formula. Would be a nice compliment and veteran presence for Cook/Hines. At the right price.

Bernard vs Dodson: Tale of the Tape
Ethan in Cleveland replied to TheyCallMeAndy's topic in The Stadium Wall
MLB plan at this point is just speculation. I will reserve judgment on McD and Beane after we see who else they bring in. I'm happy they did not commit to Edmunds long term. I hated the Bernard pick last year and still do. Could care less if they brought back Dodson. Honestly bringing back Poyer, the fact Hamlin probably will be back and was at least decent, and Benford possibly moving to safety allows them to draft a MLB in the first two rounds. I want Wagner but I'd be fine with a MLB in round 1 or 2 as long as the other pick is a WR with size. Then pick 3 and 4 can go OT and C/G. -
Draft - Positions of Need - Top Ranked
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
Screw that, let's draft WPA at positions of least need!!!! -
Wagner would make this an ok FA group. Presumed upgrade at slot WR, upgrade at OG, avoided long term commitment to Edmunds, and get Poyer back for a run at a ring next year. Still need to lose a couple FA's or Beane will screw up the comp pick again. Singletary and one of the DL guys should get us to net negative. I will be honest though, it kind of feels like the Bills are stuck and everyone else is getting better around them. Feels like Green Bay with Rodgers for the last decade. Obviously the draft can change all that and one big move like a trade for Hopkins can make a massive difference.

Except we do know. Because if it was Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy like Hank Gathers he would have an implantable defibrillator and no chance to play. Barring any lung injury from the CPR, he will be cleared to play.

Long list of Bills free agents -- who will they keep?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to BillsDad51's topic in The Stadium Wall
I would bring back Crowder,Lawson, and Q. I would have chosen Klein over Dodson but I would not bring both back. They need to find out if Bernard can play or not. Klein probably can be picked up after first game of season on the cheap and his salary would not be fully guaranteed. The rest can go. We need multiple players to sign elsewhere to get the comp pick for Edmunds. -
Anyone just sit back and appreciate it?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
Many of us lived through 4 straight SB appearances. If you are happy with division titles chances are you are under 25 years old or you have given up hope. -
Beane again showing why he is a top GM
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sorry OP but this is standard stuff that just about every person on this board has been talking about for months. And as its stands right now I believe we have signed more FAs than we have lost so no comp pick for Edmunds. Green Bay got a first round pick for Adams and Bills may get nothing for Edmunds. As it looks now he could have tagged Edmunds and still had enough cap room to make these low to mid-level deals. Still a long way to go this offseason but so far nothing special. -
Pats still manipulating the cap !
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Desert Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Didn't Bills do the same thing with Eric Wood??? Its just manipulating the calendar and when you designate them pre or post June 1st. They just signed Juju away from KC -
Poyer is back! Resigning with Bills
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Florida sucks in so many ways, and the Doplhins is not even in the top 50 -
Bobby Wagner - the solution to the Edmunds problem
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Oh please let this happen. He was cur so he does not even count in the comp formula calculator for Edmunds. He would be perfect for this team. Perfext leader to pait with Hyde and Poyer -
Bills reportedly interested in Jamaal Williams
Ethan in Cleveland replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Detroit just signed Montgomery. Perhaps they know Williams is leaving -
Stephon Gilmore Traded to the Cowboys
Ethan in Cleveland replied to CowgirlsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
How many games does any CB win? I've never even thought of it that way.
