I sure hope so. He has the right mindset and drive, I could see him being the franchise LT we've been on the lookout for since Jason Peters.

Williams and Stewart was an awesome backfield. If Singletary and Moss can give that type of return no one would complain about that! Those numbers would certainly be sweet. 1500 total yards and 8 TDS I guess it depends on his carries and usage but I could definitely see him hitting it. I'm not sure what that leaves for Moss. If he put up and 600-800 on the ground and 200 receiving this year, to go along with 6 tds, we're looking at a top backfield.

The first four games will probably give us the answer. If Singletary balls out early on the season there's no reason to think Moss would eat into his workload. On the other hand if he looks average and/or Moss just explodes on the scene it might play out differently. Either way I'm excited to see how the backfield looks this year. By the end of the year I think the Bills will be talked about as a potentially explosive offense and a lot of the credit will go to the running game

Personally, I think Zack Moss will end up having a pretty impressive season, not sure if it'll be enough to dethrone Singletary though. Devin really started to come on strong late last year and he could follow it up with a big year. Also, I could see Wade getting some action and breaking off some big gainers not that he'll really take any significant carries away from the other two.

I'm not missing the point in the least we just have different perspectives on it. The NFL as an employer gives it's employees the opportunity to express opinions by grandstanding themselves and making a spectacle of the whole ordeal. People would still watch if there were no anthem or flyovers. The NFL, in particular, and major league sports, in general are completely different beasts than your average employers. The NFL as an organization isn't a fair model for it's employees where players are treated like cattle and drafted by teams they might not want to play for, all for the 'privilege' to continue their employment. The visibility of the platform that these athletes perform on is absolutely astronomical. So yes, while they are still people, the impact they have due to their profession is much greater than almost all other people around the world.

Yes if my waiter or waitress whether lgbtq decides to promote anyone they wish it would not affect the 'quality' of the meal I ordered. Also is the waiter's or waitress', in question, performances being scrutinized by millions of people worldwide.. Realistically yes someone who is world renowned should be held to a different standard than someone who is only truly known by his or her close family and/or friends

Exactly. People like to think these things are mutually exclusive so they can have one without the other. It baffles me how many people equate their jobs/professions with that of an NFL player. They train tirelessly for their entire lives to reach 'the pinnacle' of their profession yet (you) as a middle class (insert profession here) believe that the conduct of you both should be held to the same standard

So what you're saying is that, essentially a minute and a half of someone expressing an opinion, that you don't like, completely ruins a 3+ hour (180+ minute) event for you!? YOU and people like you are the problem

Fair enough. It was a quick thought that wasn't fully fledged, although I do stand by that they'll trade down

The Bills trade back with their 2nd and 6th and 7th round picks to get an extra 3rd and 4th. So they would have a later 2nd, 2 3rds, 2 4ths, a 5th and a 6th

Really I wouldn't want either one before the 4th, preferably 5th. It's tough gaging how the draft is going to shake out with everything that's going on and all of the playmakers in the draft this year

I think a similar player with more upside is Lynn Bowden. He was poised to have a breakout season on the biletnikoff and hornung watchlist, injuries to the top 2 QBs on the Kentucky roster forced him to play QB. His stock dropped but he mostly played as a running back while throwing occasionally. From what I've seen I believe he's going to come in and make a huge impact. Hopefully for the Bills

I feel like none of the options here have the upside that Beane looks for. In my opinion he typically drafts high ceiling type players and these all seem to be the opposite

The thing is it's not about running a 4 WR set. It's about creating mismatches using different personnel grouping. Like a 2 or 3 WR set with different players ( Diggs, and Brown, Diggs and Beasley, Brown and Beasley, etc) So a 4th WR could feasibly get action in any of these sets. Or is that off base? I suppose by that logic we must run a slot of 3 and 4 DE sets since Lawson, Hughes, Murphy and Johnson all saw plenty of action last year

It doesn't matter what the name is. Just a point a reference in the discussion regarding 2nd round WRs. ? The chances of getting any impact player in the 2nd at any position is going to be slim this year considering the construction and depth of the roster. At this point would you rather try to hit a grand slam or a ground rule double?

Because Zay Jones is available to be drafted this year, correct. Jw Also, what you're saying is that your fear of drafting Zay Jones wouldn't allow you to draft AJ Brown or DK Metcalf. That's simply irrational.

Finding another WR that can take the field and add another dynamic option to the offense that defenses will already have a hard time with will take the offense to the next level. Running a fast past offense can wear your own guys down so allowing them to have another more than capable WR in the wings stresses a defense even more. What if the WR they draft goes on a tear towards the end of the year and takes more snaps than Brown. It's not like this a rare occurrence. You act like a second round WR can't come on and be better than the guys the Bills already have All of the positions you mention would undoubtedly be backups to start too. So you tell me how would a back up, DE, safety, CB, or OL improve the defense or offense

The Bills offense ranked towards the bottom of the league, while the defense ranked at the top. The Bills put significant resources this off-season on defensive players, and not necessarily an equal amount on offense. Brandon Beane says the team needs touchdown makers and guys who can take it to the house from anywhere on the field. The draft is loaded with offensive playmakers A second round de or safety would see about as much time (maybe less) than a wr. They would be sitting behind at least 3 players and maybe 4. The reason the Bills lost games was a lack of offensive fire power. How's that?

Round 2 Pick 22: Cole Kmet, TE, Notre Dame (A-) Round 3 Pick 22: Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame (A+) Round 4 Pick 22: Damien Lewis, OG, LSU (A+) Round 5 Pick 9: AJ Dillon, RB, Boston College (A+) Round 6 Pick 9: Antonio Gibson, WR, Memphis (A+) Round 6 Pick 22: A.J. Green, CB, Oklahoma St. (A+) Round 7 Pick 25: Colton McKivitz, OT, West Virginia (A+) Round 2 Pick 22: Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU (A+) Round 3 Pick 22: Kyle Dugger, SS/FS, Lenoir-Rhyne (A+) Round 4 Pick 22: Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame (A+) Round 5 Pick 9: Lamical Perine, RB, Florida (A+) Round 6 Pick 9: Colby Parkinson, TE, Stanford (A+) Round 6 Pick 22: Braden Mann, P, Texas A&M (A+) Round 7 Pick 25: Antonio Gibson, WR, Memphis (A+) I'd be stoked with either if these drafts.. tried not to pick the same players but Claypool and Gibson were calling my name. Everyone wants our offense to take the next step so why not draft O heavy. I think this draft will end up similar in real life. Just load the field with playmakers and chain movers and have the defense pick their poison.

The Bills won't select a defensive player until the 6th round

Honestly, I did a quick YouTube search and it's hard to find them without watching entire videos (and also remembering which teams). I distinctly recall one on wildcard weekend and one in the divisional round. Regardless, (you are correct) it is technically a penalty by the books. That being said if I were his coach I'd tell him to make that block Everytime, although set a pick rather than engage the defender.

And yet two other instancances of incredibly similar blocks weren't called in the playoffs.. Also, if he doesn't make that block and Allen decides he's going to set up and pass, someone is probably going to get a strip sack on Allen since he's still in pursuit. I suppose that the NFL should institute a rule for defensive players, saying that they will be penalized if they hit a player after the ball has progressed down the field past them. (I.e a D Lineman chasing down a reciever after the catch)

I'd have to say some version of the song Bella Ciao.. this song is simple and gets me all janked up when I hear it so I can only imagine how amazing it would be to have an entire stadium filled with people chanting Bella Ciao. I personally like the classic version the best but can understand people wanting a techno/modern sound.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/grading-nfls-next-generation-of-quarterbacks-lamar-jackson-josh-allen-finish-with-highest-marks/amp/ Surprised to see Allen ranked so high.. he had his ups and downs but it seems like he's on the right trajectory and people are starting to take notice. Side note - Darnold and Baker ? lol

And yet if he threw a back shoulder throw like you want him to, the DB is on the outside waiting to make a play. If McKenzie be hasn't slowed up those last five yards he might've had a shot. Not saying Allen was even good because he wasn't... Also look to the scramble and throw to the right side of the endzone where McKenzie failed to make a play. I looked at my wife immediately after that play and said a better receiver scores there.. going back to last year we haven't had a WR, TE or RB bail any of our QBs out yet you see spectacular catches every week in this league. How about the catches Gesecki (sp?) made against us or the TD catch Landry had. It helps when you have playmakers to help out instead of role players
