    The Jags don't have nearly the talent as years past, however, the Ravens "can" be dangerous if they finally figure out how to put it all together and King Henry always seems to have good games against us........the Jags aren't scaring anyone this year.

     

    Not really, Henry has had one really good game against us. Every other time we held him to around 60 yards.

  2. W1 vs Cardinals at home Bills win 1-0

    w2 vs Dolphins in Miami (toss up but we own Miami) Bills W 2-0

    W3 vs Jacksonville (Jacksonville own us) Bills loss 2-1

    W4 vs Baltimore (Toss up but I feel our d scheme plays well against Baltimore) Bills W 3-1

    W5 vs Houston - Loss after tough matchup against Ravens I think we won't be in this game 3-2

    W6 vs Jets - Bills want revenge in their stadium after the stinker last year Win 4-2

    W7 vs Ten - Bills win5-2

    W8 vs Seattle - Bills win 6-2

    W9 vs Miami - Bills own Miami 7-2

    W10 vs Indy - Bills win 8-2

    W11 vs Chiefs - Bills lose 8-3

    W12 vs Bye 8-3

    W13 vs San Fran Bills lose 8-4

    W14 vs LA - Bills win 9-4

    W15 vs Det - Bills win 10-4

    W16 vs Pats - Bills win 11-4

    W17 vs Jets - Bills lose due to over confidence and Jets playing for playoff hopes 11-5

    W18 vs Pats - Bills win 12-5

     

    Probably wrong on a loss or win here and there but I am pretty confident in 12 -5 as the overall record this year. That week 2 through 5 and  11 through 15 stretch is going to be brutal though.

    What would you prefer? A Big Trade ISN'T happening. So the list of perimeter WR's of note available at this point are Corey Davis, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Michael Thomas, Randall Cobb, Marquise Goodwin, or Martavis Bryant. Given the age and injury history with some on the list, you could argue Davis *is* the best FA option.

     

    If he signs and it doesn't work, they don't make the roster and we stick with what we have. I don't understand outrage over the possibility of adding options. If you're upset that we didn't do more before this, that's fair, but that ship has sailed. It shouldn't mean we don't try what we can do now.

    Actually, the Redskins signed Martavius Bryant a couple days ago I believe.

    Last season the Bills only had 5 WRs active for game day.  The others were inactive or on the practice squad.

     

    At least at the beginning of the season last season:

    - Diggs

    - Davis

    - Shakir

    - Sherfield

    - Harty

     

    Harty was the KR and back up slot so he took one of the slots last season.

     

    That leaves only 4 left to be active on gameday.  Maybe it is 

     

    - Claypool

    - MVS

    - Shakir

    - Samuels

    - KR ???

     

    - Coleman inactive at least for the first few games.

     

    Is their any indication from OTA's who is taking Kickoffs and Punt returns ?  That could tell us alot about the top 5

    My guess is Shakiir and Daquan Hardy end up our returners.  

     

    Last year we had Shakiir returning kicks and punts, doubt we change that this year.  The other returner was Harty who we cut. 

     

    We drafted Daequan Hardy this year for his return ability/ cb depth, got to think he will be one of them as his return ability was mentioned specifically by Beane post draft presser. 

     

    Then we will keep a practice squad wr one of Andy isabella or KJ hamler incase we need an injury replacement for a return guy.

    Things we don’t know when doing all these mocks. I highly doubt the Bills pass on him but if he has injury concerns and the Bills never brought him in officially, he’s probably off their board. Or maybe they already cleared him at the combine.

    We met him at the combine.

  7. Charles Campbell  via rumors section at Walter football.com

     

    Yesterday, we reported here in the Hot Press how some sources with teams in the top 10 said Minnesota is definitely trading up for a quarterback. Another team that sources say is aggressively trying to figure out a trade-up in the first round is the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo front office has been calling teams and gauging trades to be prepared to move up on Thursday night. Sources say the Bills are targeting a wide receiver, and the most likely targets are LSU’s Brian Thomas Jr. and Texas’ Xavier Worthy. Both are possibilities for Buffalo, but it sounds like the preference is toward Thomas. After trading veteran Stefon Diggs, it sounds like Buffalo is going to be aggressive about finding Josh Allen’s next No. 1 receiver.

  8. Personally, I don't agree at all about waiting for free agents after the draft. I feel like we need to go into the draft without any glaring holes so we don't have to over draft any players or get other teams jumping over us for the obvious players we would be going for to fill said roster holes.

    That said, we don't have to go after the top name players to get solid roster players, and we all know Beane won't over pay market value on mid-tier players. 

     

    That way we can just go bpa and based on where we are drafting and projected boards that is likely wr in round 1. I also do not feel we need to draft a second wr that early though do agree about dipping back in and drafting a second wr in the 4th or 5th round. This guy will be a depth player who can play special teams and develop. Much like shorter will be after missing last year. In free agency I would at minimum pick up two vet dts hopefully one of them Daquan Jones and another a run stuffing dt, a vet rb for short yard/ redzone goal line situations, and a vet DE for rotation (two if we don't resign Epenesa). The DE's because DE's take time to develop and I would rather have a solid DE rotation we know is reliable rather than relying on a weaker DE class.  

     

    In the second I would draft the best C/G available (if any fall to us worthwhile like last year)  for competition with Edwards and/or McGovern starting spots. Obviously if the player wins out at center slide mcgovern back over to guard. If there aren't any guard/ C that are worth a second round pick by the time we select I'd draft Safety as I do not agree with your assessment that this is a weak safety draft. I think there are quite a few good safety prospects who should be available at that 2nd round or third round selection position. 

     

    Personally, I would sign a safety in free agency to start and draft two young safeties one earlier in the second or third round if we go G/C in the second and then double dip in a later round for competition at both safety spots as well as special teams depth. 

     

    In the later rounds if we keep all our 11 picks (which is doubtful) I would go bpa while focusing on third rb, cb depth, the safety, a tackle for the oline competition, DT depth, the previously mentioned safety depth player, and the final picks bpa whatever position.

    What’s your best guess? Shakir or not on the roster?

     

    Might have to factor that into our WR additions.

     

     

    We signed KJ Hamler as well. he could be an option as well.

    Kick Cousins and 31yo Mike Evans make them one of the best offenses in the league on paper? Lol.

     

    They would still easily be the 4th best team in the division. 

    They already have a good to great defense. And all their offense was missing was wrs and a qb. I'm not saying they'd win the afc east or have the best offense in the league (I agree that is silly) with them but I feel they would make the playoffs and be relevant again and I feel that's what Mayo would want as a first time hc a savvy vet qb who is average to above average and Kraft just wants to be relevant again so he would be on board.. 

  11. I;d be alright with the pick. Not ecstatic but at our pick in the draft the drop off between the 6-like 12th wr isn't so excessive I'm worried about getting a specific guy in the second. We wait until round 4 or 5 I'd be a little miffed but not going wr in the first unless a Brian Thomas or Odunze somehow magically fell wouldn't hurt my feelings. A lot of holes to fill going into free agency, obviously this changes if we fill most with quality players I don't want to draft a depth player over a starting wr that'd irk me. All that said I doubt Robinson falls to us anyways and we either go wr or take a dt or Cooper Dejuan for the safety position.

    I think Derrick's idea of a "chase a ring deal" will involve at least 10M/ yr.  Just draft a cheap day 3 bruiser back as your RB3 behind Cook & Johnson. 

    Free agency is loaded down with great vet backs. I think he will have to settle for less. But I agree wouldn't pay him that much a year knowing he wouldn't be rb1 in our system.
