Chaos

The hard part is that nothing the Bills do during the regular season will demonstrate whether any of the teams shortcomings have been addressed. We really won't know until 2024.

Does Poona Ford qualify?

Four of those teams made conference championship games last year. None of the had head coaching changes or substantial downgrades on their roster. (small downgrade for chiefs). "To be the man, you have to beat the man." Is in play here. Bills are one about 10 teams with a meaningful chance to hoist the Lombardi. We really haven't shown we can beat the man in the playoffs though. So hard to place top 3.

Oliver and Davis for DHOP makes sense now.

-ev = Minus Expected Value

Until Sean McDermott proves he can outcoach Andy Reid and Zac Taylor in the post season we may not have done enough. Our roster has been sufficient for for the last two seasons to go to the Super Bowl.

I don't think you understand the tweet.

That music is the reason most of us old people are NFL fans.

Put Shorter on the Field instead of Davis, and you can run a 1960's green bay style sweep with Josh playing Paul Hornung. Bold added by me. The bolded part is a "BINGO"

OL 4. DL 3.

Kincaid will get starter reps from game 1. Base your target estimates on that.

Mahomes as a consenus first round pick, not 40. Some random outlier mock may have missed the point. But Mahomes was expected to go in the first round. He was not a huge reach. This is discussed earlier in the thread. ESPN's had mocked him at 20th overall. So a modest reach. Aaron Maybin defines huge reach. To be fair, Mahomes was a project and did not play his rookie season.

I don't see kindcaid and knox as competing for TE1 at all. Knox will play TE1 and Kincaid will line up in the slot on 1TE sets. and kincaid will move over to TE2 in two tight end sets. Kindcaids flexibiliytin this regard gives him a McCafferty-like confusion to the defense about what the offense is planning. Defense simply can't judge based on personnel in the huddle when you have a guy like that.

PFF grades each player in each college game all year. You do not have to love their methodology but it does mean they have a group of people paying attention all season not just during “draft season”

What is Marino's background as a college talent assessor?

KIncaid is 6'4 and 246. Essentially no size difference at all.

I take great comfort in the accuracy of your track record.

Ravens with Tyler Huntley played the Bengals tougher than the Bills did last year. Jackson is a serious upgrade from Huntley. My rankings assume he makes it through the season healthy. KIncaid is top end talent. You should rephrase your sentence. Also ignoring the improvement expected from McGovern and Torrence is just silly.

This is going to upset people, but here are the correct preseason AFC rankings 1. Chiefs 2. Bengals 3. Bills, Ravens

It actually indicates the cone won.

Shorter did the agility drills at his pro day, according to this. It did not go well.

Some aspect of the Bills continues to prevent them from being a championship caliber team. I am 100% confident we have a championship caliber QB. To me nothing else is certain.

Torrence to help block, makes the redzone running option very viable too. This is the key to adding Kincaid.

Kincaid will get more than all other slot receivers combined. I think Knox gets the same number as last year.

Any team that did not have a franchise QB who found one in this draft "won the draft". Same reason the Bills are the clear draft winner from the year Allen was taken. Chiefs won the Super Bowl, they have no actual room for improved outcomes. I think Bengals had a very good draft. Whether or not thier draft allows them to keep the Bills in the rear view mirror, or to pass the Chiefs won't be known until the playoffs. The Raven's had a good draft too. They were one fluke play away from beating the Bengals team that dominated the Bills last year. They upgrade Huntley to Jackson, added OBJ and a new OC. I am very happy with the Bills draft, but I would have been happier with the Eagles draft.
