Chaos

Hopefully not.

Honestly this makes no sense to me. I don't think you answered the question anywhere of whether 10.7 million of cap space is worth more than a 2025 third round comp pick in any direct way.

Proving unpoplular opinions can also be asinine.

We are likely shifting to a 4-1-6 strategy this year, with Milano as our only lineback. Look for the Bills to add depth at safety and CB in the first round.

Well, we still have Ed Oliver on the Dline.

todays best effort so far

He is a wild card.

Is your view, that if Christian Gonzalez or Brian Branch somehow falls to 27, we should automatically skip them?

As the original post mentions, the top four posiitions identified as targets were WR, G, OT and LB. Only 3% identifed TE as a need (and it was a multiple choice question). That is why TEs are not included. Sometimes when building a consensus, you don't get your way.

so far the consensus is that 75%+ of people will be annoyed. This seems about right

The Bills McDefense scheme is exposed and must be completely revamped.

Almost 100% agree, because in the right trade, it seems you could still get one of those three and something else. I prefer Campbell to Simpson though.

what you read is superceded by what can be measured. And the fact is Campbell is faster than any LB the Bills have now. That is logical. This seems like a good draft for TEs.

Campbell is not slow. In fact he is fast. HEIGHT: 6-4 (89%*)WEIGHT: 249 (83%*) HANDS: 10 1/4 (79%*)ARM: 31 7/8 (41%*) SPAN: 79 (90%*) FORTY: 4.65 (C) (67%*) SHUTTLE: 4.24 (C) (66%*) 10 YARD SPLIT: 1.59 (C) (70%*) VERTICAL: 37.5 (C) (85%*) BROAD JUMP: 128 (C) (96%*) THREE CONE: 6.74 (C) (96%*) BENCH PRESS: DNP

You answered the question "what are you disagreeing with?"?

this is fantasy, but it seems to hit some needs:

That is exactly my question. What is optimal? If Oliver at 10.7 makes the team the best it can be with that money, then you don't trade him for nothing. If an replacement is available for $3 million and you can you 7.7 million to sign Bobby Wagner, then maybe trading Oliver for nothing would work.

@GunnerBill what are you disagreeing with? It is a question.

NFL.com ranks Hyatt as the top WR. That seems like an outlier ranking, but makes him a person of interest too me. This is a rational analysis.

I am ok with this. Unless a strange situation developed, like JSN or Christian Gonzalez dropping to 27, taking the best pass blocker seems to make sense.

If you "get nothing" but unload 10 mm of salary cap, hypothectically that space might be better utilized in 2023. Is 10.7 million of cap space in 2023 more or less valuable than a third round 2024 or 2025 third round comp pick.

You do seem confused.

I concur on oline being the top priority. No player is a ten year player. They are five year players, who you may or may not be able to afford after five years. If they are stars, and you have a top 5 QB, you will struggle to hold them. If the Bills think that Wright is the best OT on the board, and they take him, I will not be unhappy.

My response was to your previous comment about taking a player a dozen picks early. This is not the same thing as moving up a dozen pick. You asked a question "why not pick a player a dozen picks early". I provided the answer to that question.

A separate poll on TBD has identified G, WR, OT, and LB as our positions of need. Addtional polling has indicated that there is at least some support for the following players who are likley to be available at 27. Anton Harrison OT Darnell Wright OT Dawand Jones OT Jalin Hyatt WR Josh Downs WR Zay Flowers WR O'Cyrus Torrence G Drew Sanders LB Trenton Simpson LB Jack Campbell LB 3/26 Adding Dalton Kincaid TE, 3/26 Adding Michael Mayer TE 3/26 Adding Will McDonald IV Edge 3/26 Adding Brian Branch, S/CB 3/26 Adding Joey Porter CB YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR VOTE IF THE NEW ADDITIONS CHANGE YOUR MIND My heart wants to pick Jack Campbell, because I think he will be the most fun to watch and might have the biggest 2023 impact. . However, WR and OT are so much more financially valuable positions to have under rookie contracts my brain says to pick Jalin Hyatt. (And pray Matthew Bergeron OT is available at 59) In real life the Bills may be faced with having to choose a Defensive lineman or Secondary player who is ranked much higher on their board. Like real life you can only pick 1.
