Ethan in Cleveland

245-255 I realize the game has changed and your MLB needs to play in space much more than 20 years ago. But they still need to have size to play the run and be physical at the LOS when needed.

The 5th year is important but its also irrelevant for this team right now. The SB window will have been slammed shut by then.

He's listed at 224 pounds. If Beane or McD thinks that is ok for MLB then they are coaching a different game than I am watching. You still need size up the middle. He is closer to a big nickel safety than he is a MLB. If he was insurance if Milano got hurt then it was a complete waste of a draft pick when the team needed other depth players. It doesn't really matter though. Our only hope with this coaching staff is Allen scores 40 a game. Get 3 more guys that can contribute on offense and a LB, DT, or edge in the top 4 picks

I dont know Chandler. I remember that more as Kelly playing really poorly. Didn't he have horrible red zone INT in that game?

Beane screwed us by drafting a smurf in the 3rd round last year and made it worse not signing a veteran to replace Edmunds. At this point there are too many holes to fill because he has missed on so many day 2 picks. Edge might be a bigger need than MLB. Dodson is probably better at MLB than Epenesa or Basham is at end. If they went edge, and then 4 straight players on offense I would be ok with that. The secondary should be elite again. If they can add a legit pass rusher then they can survive with a below average MLB.

No way the Bills draft him But the OP may not be far off if Baltimore passes on him. Maybe the Bears decide he is too good to pass up and want to trade back into the first and take him as competition for Fields. Tampa can't be happy with their QB situation. It only takes one team to want him and be willing to give up a pick to move up and get him.

Beane's history is c/w giving away draft picks to go up and draft guys. This team needs multiple starters to emerge from this draft over the next two years at WR, OL, LB, and DL. He would be better off trading out of the first round and picking up an extra day 2 pick. I would much rather have 4 top 100 picks instead of three.

Watch the games. Despite the record Bills were worse than the year before. They have regressed in the playoffs every year now. They have gone from losing in AFC Championship, to losing in division round on the road to losing in division round at home. None of that matters for 2023 but stop trying to spin that 2022 was anything but a massive disappointment The game was over after the second drive. They were a great AFC team, but they probably were not a top 5 NFL team all those years. The NFC was a much better conference. And they never faced the 49ers in the SuperBowl who may have been the best team in the NFL during that 4 year stretch. Sadly there are parallels to this team's playoff performances. The team is soft on the lines and especially on defense and they are routinely outcoached in the playoffs.

This is nonsense. There is no difference in talent between the 15th ranked player and the 50th. No difference between 100 and 150. And after 150 they are all the same. These guys can't predict who will be a great player anymore than anyone else. Diggs is the second best player on the team and the best WR in Bills history and he was a 5th round pick. Oliver is a serviceable starting DT and was a top 10 pick. Hardly what you want from a top 10 let alone first round pick. The examples are endless of busts and stars drafted early and late. Like Brad Pitt says in money ball, "You think you know, but you don't " Really, there was no consensus Bills needed a QB, MLB, DT, Edge, and CB when they drafted Allen, Edmunds, Oliver, Rousseau, and Elam??? I think 99% of this board knew those positions were getting drafted. The only difference this year is there is not one glaring weakness. There are areas that need improvement in the WR group, OL, and obviously MLB. But the team has options some good some awful for those units that are already on the team or have been signed in FA.

Dorsey and Allen have yet to figure out how to use TE#1. Davis will be FA next year. They need to draft his replacement this year and get younger at WR.

He wants to win. Josh was throwing too many picks and not seeing the whole field. Huge question marks for this coaching staff to answer in 2023 playoffs. I trust Diggs more than I do Dorsey or McDermott

Under appreciated by this coaching staff too. PED Murphy started for three years and did nothing while Lawson was at least solid. Would love to see them trade Oliver and with that additional pick draft another edge rusher. Let Basham take some snaps at DT.

Mahommes has Andy Reid. Allen doesn't. Mahommes sees the whole field. For whatever reason Allen seems to struggle with that. Mahommes has Kelce who is more valuable that Hill ever was. Diggs is elite. He's the only other elite talent on the offense. I like Knox but he is not in the league taht Kelce is.

And Bengals just added a top 5 LT, of course at the expense of KC

Good concept but this regime is not going to be around 4 years from now. They need to win now.

None of these three are worth a first round pick. If it came down to these three, then trade down is the only option.

Best TE since the merger and terribly underutilized.

Yeah that was a bad look but also need to factor the weather. It was awful in Buffalo that day (again) and they were playing off the WR in part im sure because one slip and it would have been a TD.

Hopefully no longer. Beane has improved the WR group. RB group probably better too. Dorsey might be better in second year. There are lots of ways to get better without adding a bunch of new players. The LG spot should be better. My worry is OT. Dawkins regressed terribly last year and Brown is an absolute liability in pass blocking. Can Dawkins rebound and will Brown get better a year removed from back surgery. Who knows. A draft that goes MLB, WR, OT in no particular order would be fine with me. If they trade for Hopkins even better. Dropping out of first round so they can get another day 2 pick would allow them to draft C/G or Edge rusher too.

No guarantee but AFC Championship game at home with Allen playing at a high level and the o-line/ run game working as well as it ever had under Daboll, they would likely have boat raced them.

Go back and watch the SuperBowl and tell me playing defense matters anymore. As others have said, you just need to get a few stops a game, maybe hold for FG instead of TD a few times, and then hope for a negative play or an offensive holding penalty. There is no good way to consistently stop good to great NFL QBs. We have had highly ranked defensive units for years now, and the defense is shredded in every playoff loss. Defense won the Ravens playoff game and certainly played well against noodle arm Mac Jones, but that is it. Last season was even worse due to the rash of injuries. Our only hope is to build an offense that sets records.

"They have underachieved in recent years" Ouch... Maybe the national narrative on this HC and GM is about to change. Was universally effusive praise before, now not so much. Add the Diggs Allen sideline flare up and have to wonder if there is much more to the story in Buffalo...Probably not as this is mostly click bait.

Why can't we just have big players? Other teams draft big guys. Why must we always try to plug some undersized high character guy into a man's game. Edmunds at least had size though he played like a puss. Oliver and Bernard would make one of the smallest DT/MLB combos in the league if not the smallest.

He weighs 221 pounds. He doesn't look much bigger than Poyer on film. He came from a conference that plays the worst defense in the NCAA. Hope I'm wrong but this guy has a better chance of being out of football next year than being a starting MLB.

I'd rather have Klein than Matakevich. At least Klein can play his position. Obviously I wanted Wagner. Best case scenario they replace the MLB spot in the second round. Worst case they let Bernard play there.
