For the first time that I can remember, I am excited for a season to begin from the standpoint of wanting to win games. Say what you want, but I was rooting for draft position for many years in order to get this team where we needed to be to compete. Whether it was a qb that I didn’t like, or a coaching staff that I wanted to see fired, or maybe a stud college player that I was hoping we could draft, it didn’t matter. I was hoping we would get a high pick. Now? I finally see that we have a competent staff, an exciting young QB, and there in no college player that I particularly covet. Yes it would be nice to get one of the stud receivers next April, but we actually have some exciting new receivers as it is. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough.

Well...to be fair, we have seen it. He’s markedly improved with his reads and short game. Time will tell if it translates to wins on the football field, but I certainly wouldn’t bet against it.

Exactly. I think it’s a bit of a joke when fans get butt hurt over their team being shafted in rankings. Go win the games. That’s all that matters. We haven’t done anything yet and there is good reason for “experts” to be skeptical. Nothing to see here...

My thoughts? The Bills wanted Davis Webb because he has a similar skill set as our entrenched starter. He’s the perfect developmental practice squad qb. Nothing much more than that IMO.

...I’m done.

One thing I’ve learned as a Bills fan...never doubt a defensive player, but any offensive player that struggles is fair game.

That’s three times in games that he’s done that. Same result every time. Throw it OB!!!!

What do you want him to do?!

Patriots, Rams, Chiefs, Steelers, Cowboys, Texans, Chargers, Saints, Eagles. We we are getting closer, but we’re not quite there boys.

Thanks for living up to your screen name...?

...will be studs. I really believe that by drafting two TEs and having Sweeney show something while Knox is out will pay huge dividends. These guys will push each other because they know that the other guy is breathing down their neck if they have a few bad plays. I’m really excited about the position for the first time in a VERY long time.

Croom is doomed.

I feel VERY good about Barkley if Allen were to go down with any sort of injury. He has to be one of the better backups in the league.

Two against the Giants...what a bum...

Miller was picked in the first round, so this makes no sense.

My prediction is that we will make two picks tonight. I think we will package 40 with another pick to move up to the bottom of the first for a player that begins to slide.

I think we take Jonah Williams. Beane wants competition and beyond Morse, there isn’t a player on the line that should be considered safe. Seems like a no-brained to me. However...I can’t shake the thought of them being in love with Christian Wilkins...

I would agree, but I don’t see Oliver as a “process guy” at all. In fact, I think he’s kind of the opposite. However, McD recognizes his talent and apparently would like to have him. I would say Risner and Wilkins are more process than Oliver. Bingo. Holy heck I want Hockenson to be a Bill in the worst way.

Gotta be honest...I don’t want Oliver. Something about him screams that it would be a bad move by the front office. He just doesn’t seem like a Buffalo guy. I see Dareus all over again. Someone that is just playing out his rookie deal before moving on to bigger and better things. Is he talented? Yes. No denying that. I just don’t think it’s a good fit. On on the other hand, a guy like Quinnen Williams (who we have no shot at) or Christian Wilkins would be excellent fits. Williams would have to be obtained in a trade up while Wilkins hopefully could be had in a trade down. I think all all this is moot anyhow as some team in front of us will likely take Oliver.

Miles Sanders all day long. He has a lot of tread left on his tires and he can catch the ball too.

Fine. That means that Quinnen Williams or Josh Allen will make it to at least 5. The sweet spot for a trade up is 5 anyways. I think Quinnen Williams is the best player in this draft.

I’m convinced Cornette is an older gentleman who is stuck in the 60’s and 70’s. Back in the day when defense was more important than anything else. Well...now you have to have a top offense if you want to keep up with other great teams. We need a top TE. Period. We can find a solid defensive player later on, we could even trade back into the first for Lawrence or Wilkins if he starts to slip. But we aren’t going anywhere if we don’t improve our offense. Is Allen a home run hitter? Yes. But there comes times in every game where you need 7 yards to move the chains. That’s where your TE comes into play. McD himself said that. I think it’s more of a possibility than any of us realize.

Same can be said for other positions. Hockenson is a complete TE. The others are not.

Will a pass rusher or interior lineman help our terrible TE Corp be better?

No. Just no. We don’t need another guy like Brown. We already have guys like him. We need receivers with size.
