Ethan in Cleveland

Still makes me sick that two years in a row Beane has drafted a small LB in the third round. There was no need for a backup to Milano. Whoever isn’t the starting MLB will be the backup for both spots. Could have added an OT or WR with one of those picks.

To be fair to BB, Saffold started out quite good by most evaluations last year. Then by about week 6 he was getting worse each week.

He wasn't #2 when Beasley was playing slot. He got more chances last year becuase the slot WR situation was a disaster In this offense the slot WR should be getting more targets. And as you see on other teams, the TE has to be a bigger part of this offense. This year Davis targets will go down but his YPC and TDs will be the same.

Get no argument from me on that one. And it makes no sense because he has made some really difficult catches in his first three years.

Half of the players you listed are not outside WRs or even WRs at all. You don't even understand what Davis' role on the team is. Correct he is not Hill or Gronk or Kelce or Kittle. He is an outside WR. He is not the second option and he never will be. This offense you want him to be your 4th option after Diggs, slot, and Knox. Davis is your chunk yardage guy not your high volume reception guy.

Agree. Bates is perfect backup. If like to see Snell get a few reps with the 1s. Hope Elam gets his chance too. He is the best CB#2 on the team. Agree. If they hadn't drafted him he wouldn't even be on the roster right now. Low talent coming off injury. Bates has played the 6th OL before if they want to go with a heavy formation.

Detroit would be a good spot as well

Um no The Bills have no one on the roster that can do what Davis does. He's the only legit outside deep threat on the team opposite Diggs. He is a willing blocker and biggest body at WR. Yes the drops need to get better. Other than that he is a great WR#2! Now signing him long term is a different story. He is going to want #1 money and they just can't afford that. So just like Edmunds you let him walk and get a comp pick.

Why would that matter? A 1 point or 28 point margin is still only one win. Regardless you are wrong about that too. Miami 2536 Buffalo 2486

Bills better team. Dolphins better coach. Allen as is in most cases is the difference. He almost willed a win in Miami and almost gifted them a wildcard win in Buffalo.

Nope. Dolphins lead series with a record of 62-56-1. Bills have won four of five playoff meetings though.

Most of us do They don't have pads on. I wouldn't read anything into oline or dline play.

Love the Kincaid pick but so wanted Smith-Njigba to keep falling.

Don't really think any reasonable fan had high expectations of him. But he did make a few plays last year to make you think he can be a contributor.

Agree. Its a good thing if all are capable starters. Perhaps Benford is moved to safety next year if Hyde is not brought back. And this of course assumes White is back to form. He was really bad last year. They will start him no matter how poorly he is playing would be my guess.

Your parameters not withstanding, some of the greatest QBs in NFL history would be considered running QBs. Tarkenton, Staubach, and Montana were all mobile guys.

Doesn't bode well for Jets And yes I'd trade Sean for Sean.

Don't get me wrong. I would like to see Allen rush the ball less and dump the ball off to his running backs and wide receivers for them to take the hits. But you included quarterbacks from eras where they could murder the quarterback in the pocket. It's completely different now. multiple protections for the quarterback in the pocket and outside of the pocket. Allen can last quite a long time still doing what hes doing today.

The vast majority of these guys weren't good QBs regardless of age or running frequency. Young is a HOF and the most obvious exception as you pointed out. Wilson may still rebound and I doubt his decline has anything to do with running. He was sacked relentlessly behind a bad Seahawks oline the last two years he was there. And I dont think he cares about football anymore. Excluding Rodgers and Roethlisberger skews the data set. Both were mobile guys that moved around a lot in the early part of their careers.

Exactly. This is a McDermott problem. Elam was the best DB on the field in the playoffs. That is just stupid. The guy has played college football at the highest level. Virtually no learning curve at guard. Plug and play day one.

Being better than Edmunds at run stopping is no hard feat. He's a liability in coverage. Sadly I'm not sure any of the three MLB options on the team are good. My guess is we will see Milano at MLB in passing down and distance situations and one of the small guys at OLB. I agree Dodson is probably the best run stopping MLB so he may see more snaps than last year. I dont think I've ever seen MLB by committee before but I think taht may be what we see for the first several games. Maybe after that one guy will emerge.

Dodson at MLB is ridiculous. He is not good at anything. At least the smurfs should be able to run. Torrence needs to be a day 1 starter. They need him to start all year so he is solid by playoff time. Bates should be utility back up at every spot. He should be first off the bench in case of injury for all 5 spots. Maybe if Snell looks good he could be primary backup at RT.

Sorry but why does Matakevich on the PUP list make me laugh? Seems like even when healthy he is PUP!

Don't need one. With new rule its better to Fair catch the ball and take it at the 20 or 25 wherever the rule states.

Pretty sure we are saying the same thing. Bring 4 guys but do it creatively. That said at the end of the day guys like Miller, Oliver, and Rousseau need to win some 1:1 matchups. Its not all scheme. Bengals have a great DL and are far more physical than the Bills. We are a soft team on defense and have been for years. Much better at chasing than attacking. We put up great numbers against bad QBs. There are times were we play extremely well against the run and other times that we get gashed by the run. Hard to explain really. Anyways it doesn't matter. Allen and the offense are our only hope.
