I like the idea but it will never happen. Roberts didn’t make many big plays last year but he is extremely reliable with the ball, that trust counts a lot.
Isaiah McKenzie also seems to be next in line for KR and PR anyways, and I don’t think he’s going anywhere next year either.

That TD to Smoke was damn gorgeous though.
It was great, reminded me of his long touchdown to Robert Foster vs Jacksonville in 2018. He makes some amazing long throws under pressure but misses a lot of them when he has time. If he can improve on long throws he will put up some great numbers next year.-

We don’t face any teams coming off their bye.-

That’s good news, start the year off with a big W vs the Jests. -
I’m worried about Karlos Williams.

Probably has some good Bills intel for our matchups, don’t care for that but glad he’s still going, don’t want to see him retire!

Here is an interesting mock draft from this time last year:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2834898-matt-millers-way-too-early-2020-nfl-draft-big-board
3. AJ Epenesa
4. Jake Fromm
26. Trey Adams
Just shows how highly touted these guys were a year ago.

I think Moss will turn our way better than Dillon and Vaughn who went ahead of him.
Same as us getting Singletary in 2019 after David Montgomery and Darrell Henderson went before us lol.

Exactly. The problem does not seem to be his hands as he makes some great catches. The problem appears to be concentration. Don’t worry about running until AFTER you have the ball. I think (hope?) that is easier to correct than “bad hands”.
He has great hands, it’s definitely just concentration which can be improved. I’m not worried about the drops at all. Even Travis Kelce still has some bad ones so it’s going to happen. -
I don’t think Trubisky is as bad as he showed last year, but he’s also not very good either. Expectations were so high so he was kind of doomed from the beginning.
I think he was dealing with some injuries last season, he’s usually fairly mobile but he wasn’t running at all last year. Should be interesting to see how this plays out in Chicago, Foles isn’t the model of health so Trubisky should get a look next year.
-
I expect them to run the ball a lot next year, that was the plan the last two seasons too.

Moss in the third was one of the more obvious choices in mock drafts for the Bills if you hadn’t taken an RB at 54.
I doubt there were any mocks with us picking Epenesa at 54. I had picked him in mock drafts at 22 when we still had that pick.
-
If they were so dead set on Dugger at 54, why wouldn’t they have drafted Jeremy Chinn who was still there at our pick? Similar players except Chinn is much younger. I don’t buy it.

If I'm not mistaken, Epenesa is heavier and taller than Oliver. Usually D tackles are the biggest players on defense. Epenesa's size might help with run defense if there's a strong push against Oliver.
Epenesa is listed at 275 and Oliver is around 290. Epenesa actually had the highest body fat % of any DE at the combine so it will be interesting to see what the plan is at the gym for him.-

I've been looking at the college stats of some of the top kickers in the league and most them are not very good. I wouldn't worry about Bass' 2019 %, he can improve that accuracy. I don't think we can keep Haushka over this guy's leg.

This is interesting. I did not know that so few drafted kickers became successful with the team that drafted them. (Maybe that’s why so few are drafted, despite the importance of the position.). You would think that kickers who were great in college would almost automatically succeed in the NFL because what they do is essentially the same both places, especially for guys who kicked at major programs in front of NFL-size crowds. I would think the adjustment would be greater for guys like Bass, who kicked at smaller schools, in front of smaller crowds, presumably with less pressure.
There won't be any fans this year so that will takes some pressure off!
-
I’m not too worried about his 40 time, 4.60 is decent for a bigger guy. Michael Thomas had a 4.57 so you don’t need to be a burner to be successful. Cooper Kupp has a 4.62.
Also want to point out that Zay Jones had a 4.45, doesn’t mean anything if you can’t catch the football.

Eli and Mariota only became backups AFTER we played them. Would facing Daniel Jones and Tannehill for the 50th time really make that much of a difference??
I’m just saying that next year’s schedule will be much tougher sledding. Hard to say what difference it would have made facing Jones and Tannehill. -

I like that ranking to be real, but, I just don't know yet. We will see. The Bills had an easy schedule last year....and won't this year. Second place schedule much harder than a fourth place schedule.
Agreed, we had a really easy schedule last year and also got lucky that we faced a few backup QBs along the way (Eli Manning, Marcus Mariota, Brandon Allen, Duck Hodges) which all resulted in wins. I think we will have our hands full all season in 2020. -

Was anyone else surprised that Hauschka will be 35 years old this year? Usually that isn't a huge deal for kicker, but he already had a really weak leg.
Hoping Bass can show accuracy this offseason.
Yeah, hoping Bass has a really good offseason too, hopefully it will be an easy decision to keep him.
I’m worried it’s going to be a Jake Elliott situation when Cincy drafted him. He didn’t win the job from Randy Bullock after getting drafted in the fifth round and then Philly grabbed him from Cincy’s practice squad and he’s been a great kicker for them.
Same goes for Carolina losing Harrison Butker who didn’t beat out Graham Gano.

https://www.ourlads.com/story/default/Quarterback-Ball-Velocity-at-NFL-Combine-2008-2017/10243/dh/
Ball speed at the Combine.
Mahomes 55 mph
Deshaun Watson 45 mph
Nathan Peterman 49 mph
Yup. And you knew Peterman wasn't a threat to challenge deep.
In the Houston game after Allen got hurt, the defensive backs were telling their safeties to hang back just in case while the DBs jumped the short routes. Pick 6.
are these numbers accurate? I have so many questions. Lamar Jackson’s velocity was quite awful at 49 mph. I’m also surprised by Jared Goff at 58, I never thought he had much velocity on his throws. -
Patrick DiMarco will be on the team next year, he’s valuable in special teams so that basically guarantees him a spot. I’m sure we can get away with having Gilliam on our practice squad for a year and then have him take over in 2021 when DiMarco’s contract expires.

One draft tendency is we take productive players regardless of their combine numbers.
Singletary, Espenesa , Moss.
Which is good because it means they value tape and production over the underwear Olympics.
I was going to say this as well, Beane clearly didn’t care one bit about combine numbers this year. None of the picks stand out from a testing perspective, it’s all about onfield production.
Even Jake Fromm had an awful combine (both in numbers and drills) but Beane identified that he is a winner with other intangibles.
