Only difference is he was starting for Michigan for years.

There we go! Hopefully, we see some holes to run through now.

I’m surprised he was the pick, but he looks like the best weapon left by a long shot. If he turns into a top 5 TE, nobody will care. If he busts, then that’s a double whammy.

I’m actually pretty excited about this pick. He’s got awesome long term potential, but should be an absolute nightmare to cover if used as basically a big slot guy. Major concerns are his lack of experience and the fact he needed injuries to break the Utah line up. Those are some big red flags to me. That said, the guy has all the tools and a nice set of hands. Worst case, he should be a 40-60 catch guy, best case he develops to a Kelce type that’s just impossible to deal with. The fact Knox is also a well above average all around TE, if schemed up properly, this could be real good.

Math is hard, as is the time value of money concept apparently. Congrats on your new contract Lamar, idiot.

Big winners? Burrow and Herbert. He who signs first loses the quickest lol.

Bet it’s not going to make up the money he lost by not being under contract for the last 2 years like Allen.

Oh please, cherry picking a trivial number to claim he’s been great.

You are joking, right? Pittman has far out produced Davis and he’s done it with half the QB throwing him the ball.

It will look fine in the pictures w JA holding the Lombardi.

First things first, he’s gotta get the roids out of his system before he signs so it’s not an immediate suspension and everybody knows it. I’d give him a shot in camp, see if he still has something to offer.

There’s no point in drafting another RB, build the line and Blackwell could have been your starter. RBs were dirt cheap in FA this year, you only bring two to the active roster anyway, so who’s going to be inactive? Unless you get Bijan, there’s zero point and that’s still a stretch in the first.

It’s no different this year than it was last year, there are the same number of games (actually 1 more this year for the Bills, hopefully) and the same number of teams go to the playoffs. You have to win the games you should win and if you are a legit SB contender, no-one should scare you. The Bills beat the SB Champs last season, they can beat anybody. I do think the Jets will be tougher games this year and the Fish are a good team that signed a better back-up to hedge against Tua, it’s not going to be an easy division to win. Somebody is going to, even if you split every single division match-up, it’s only 3 losses, there’s plenty of other games to win. Plus, if you can’t sweep the Pats, you better not worry about the playoffs anyway. The West should get 2 (Chefs and Bolts) The South gets 1 by default (Jags) East gets 2 (Jets, Bills) North gets 2 (Cinci and Pitt <— yah I said it) The battle for the WC should be good this year. Thing is, injuries will happen, surprises will come up and we have no idea where Lamar lands if not in Baltimore. There’s a lot to happen when the GAMES start. a QB could go down and screw a team, this conference is loaded with QBs, some old, some risky, and ya just never know. There might be a resurgence of the West and they truly do beat each other up to lose a spot, maybe Watson plays up to his contract and Cleveland takes out Cinci, maybe the Bills go undefeated and win the SB, anything can happen on any given Thursday-Monday.

Hodgins did nothing more than Robert Foster, just chill. The guy couldn’t break the Giants roster until injuries forced him on the field.

Well said. Personally, I think they have the best roster in the AFCE as of the moment.

Get real Shakira didn’t win the job because he wasn’t good.

I see it more as a play against injury. That said, if he’s really REALLY bad, they could pull him too.

Actually pretty solid on the Jets side, if he gets hurt or is God Awful, pull him and avoid the pick, if he’s playing well, it’s a worth a first. Huge “If”, but IF he’s healthy and playing to his best level, I think the Jets just moved to the favorite to win the division. Still a major “IF”, though.

Tre was not a Beane pick. At best it’s the Mc regime and don’t forget the guy taken at the Bills original slot was a slow starter, but turned out ok lol.

If Bijan falls to 27, I’d probably take him. The whole idea behind BPA is building a team full of talent at ALL positions. Let’s ask this, would the team be better off with an Adrian Peterson type running the ball or the 5th rated OT in a weak class? I think it’s obvious most would say, give me the HOF player at a position I don’t “need”, vs a borderline starter. That’s why BPA is the way you build a team. Not taking a guy because you have a pretty good one ( or in this case, you have no idea what you have), is the path to failure. Not that it’s a perfect case, but what if the Cardinals passed on Mighty Mouse because they had Right Josh. They would have set the team back years. I’m not going to argue for Murray, I think he’s super overrated, but the point remains.

The same was said about Zay Jones.. who also was from a Carolina school.. not the same, but yeah. Elite anything is nothing until it’s in the NFL and shows that it’s a great asset along with all the other intangibles being at very least, REALLY good. Not saying he won’t be good or anything if that nature, but 1 skill does not define an NFL player.

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and disagree. He’s the type of guy you are happy to have on a rookie deal. Paying a guy who’s often injured (though playing), and wildly inconsistent, is not a guy you want to pay 10-12M a year.

Just because the Bills have a first round grade does not mean others do, nor that they are right. Obviously, people didn’t have the grade on JA17 that the Bills did, they were right. Looks like the rest of the league was right on AJE.

Would not bet on that.

Based on the history of returns for 2nd round picks, yep. The biggest problem is the money. If they will eat money or he will take less, it would be great to have him.
