Lost

Bills really F'd up with their statement yesterday. All they had to say was "We are aware the serious allegations involving one of our players and are actively investigating it. In the meantime Araiza will not be suiting up." They worded the their as though they've known for some time and have basically brushed it aside but you can clearly tell from McD's presser that he just found out about this as we all did.

Perhaps they know Araiza has retained the ghost of Johnnie Cochran deeming any case against him DOA

Prediction: Bills cut Araiza by 12:00pm tomorrow. He signs with the Browns by Monday

Very odd wording by the Bills PR team. It makes it seem as if they knew of the incident for some time and have investigated it, even if they just found out as we did.

How about we remove all the terms woke, commie, racist, misogynist or any catch all term people like to throw around mindlessly to insult someone of opposing political parties.

Does anyone know why the BBMB was nuked to begin with?

If only we could combine Edmunds size/athleticism and the instincts of these rookies into some Frankenstein hybrid LB.

You guys remember when Brian Moorman was our team MVP for like 5 years?

Gabe Davis's look after he gets smacked on the bum from a fan...😂 Priceless

So the Bills won 24-0? Good start to the season 😄

I always think the same thing about Bills reporter Chris Brown.

This just made me think of recent video by Veritasium where he showcased how your average Joe off the street has a better chance at predicting outcomes than all the so called TV pundits and experts. https://youtu.be/5eW6Eagr9XA?t=318

Easy. There were clearly a lot of games last season where they just weren't clicking. And most of the time that was due to lack of protection from the OL. As we see how training camp is progressing, its pretty easy to see that could be a potential problem for us again. That being said, when the offense is clicking and the OL is healthy and doing their job, no team can stop us. Our 7th ranked offense came from those 10 or so games where they were playing lights out. There were 5 or 6 games where it was the defense keeping us alive.

Makes ya wonder if the evolution of athleticism will continue over the next 20 years. Will we see players running a 4.00 40 in 2035? Or will we reach a peak where its just not possible to become any stronger/faster. Or maybe its all just an illusion and and players only look faster than they did back then. Perhaps the change in performance can be contributed more to innovations in player gear. More flexible lighter weight pads, helmets, jerseys. Things to ponder...🤔

Yep, I was hoping they would move up to get Skyy when he was still there

I personally like our 1st rd pick in Kaiir Elam considereing how the board was falling though I feel we could have still gotten him 2 picks down without trading our rd 4 pick. I suspected the Bills might try and move up a bit in the 2nd for a receiver but since they didnt move I'm okay with the Cook pick. He will probably end up being a starter sooner rather than later. If one pick pick from this draft has left me underwhelmed its the Bills 3rd rounder. He'll probably be a journeyman backup but I feel there were better picks out there. I Like the 5th round pick in Khalil Shakir. Sad its our only WR pick but he should contribute some in this offense Matt Araiza is our best pick of the 6th rounders. We went from having the worst punter in the league to the best. Hoping we go through this season without punting much again but after going through many years where our punter Brian Moorman was our MVP I understand how important the position is. Not going to comment much on the rest of the picks but generall have no complaints there. Overall grade B

we're trading up for 2 3rd round pics

My concern about trading mid round picks this year is not this season but the next 2-3. The Bills seem semi determined to go all in this year with a lot of the moves and that's fine if we bring home a Lombardy. But if 2022 isn't our year we have a lot of dead cap space creeping up on us the next few years and some key players we need to renegotiate next off season. Beane said multiple times this off season that we need to nail these mid round draft picks because of the cap situation we're in right now. Having more rookie contracts to work with will help us immensely in preventing a dropoff in talent when we can't resign players like Edmunds or Poyer next season. I'm not really disappointed with the trade or the pick given the way the board was falling but just mildly concerned about next year. As @NewEra said, we could have likely gotten Elam without the trade up. If Elam was snagged then Booth was still there too.

Not that it matters because I'm glad they took Elam over McDuffie but I wonder if the Bills could have traded up further than 23 with thier 4th rd pick if they were going to go that route. I envisioned them trading up to like 18-19 to take Booth but I was also hoping for a bit that maybe they would trade up to the 15-18 range and grab Hamilton if he slid that far.

More common for good WRs to come out of later rounds. Cooper Kupp 3rd Rd, Tyreek Hill 5th Rd just off the top of my head. Bean said in a presser a few weeks ago we need to nail the middle of the draft. I expected 2 of the rd 2-4 picks to be WR so... The move just doesn't jive with me is all. Both booth and Elam were there. Even Skyy Moore was still available if we wanted WR.

I mean Gabe Davis was a 4th round pick at 128. That's potentially what we just gave up.

4th round pick to move up 2. Was it worth it?

Hope we take Booth over McDuffie if both there at 25. Thoughts on George Pickens if he drops to bottom of 2nd?

WR is probably the deepest position in this draft class. Don't fret if they're all gone in 1st round. We likely weren't taking one here anyway.

Dabol winning this draft so far IMO. Like the bold moves by Detroit and Baltimore as well.
