Moss is a fine depth piece (still with upside). But it seems they're looking for a more dynamic weapon in the backfield. That's not ZM, so in that sense, yes he's being overlooked right now.

Any chance the opening post can be continually updated? Or perhaps a new thread with an updated, comprehensive list?? This is all good stuff.

The problem is that people report on it.

The Draft Network (4/8): 1 - CB Kyler Gordon, Washington 2 - RB Breece Hall, Iowa St. 3 - LB Troy Andersen, Montana St. 4 - IOL Dohnovan West, Arizona St. 5 - TE Cole Turner, Nevada 6 - S Nick Grant, Virginia 6 - OL Logan Bruss, Wisconsin 7 - Edge Tyler Johnson, Arizona St.

This is all pretty standard GM stuff. Beane isn't doing anything special other than manipulating the cap which is a job requirement these days. NFL salary cap is merely a suggestion.

Striving for the financial benefits and protections of victimhood.

I don’t think they could pass on Booth at #25. Gordon is a dark horse. I like Taylor-Britt in R2-3. There’s gotta be a CB in the first two days. Probably also a RB and/or surprise LB/S.

Meant that there’s only ~6 WR spots and the roster, usually including somebody who can play ST. I don’t see the point of signing both Crowder and McKenzie if they planned to invest early in the draft. Crowder isn’t on a vet minimum. “Developmental” meaning a mid-round pick. CB, RB, and OL are higher priorities. Probably also LB.

WR is not a priority. …because Diggs was extended. …because GD is primed for WR2 and under contract through ‘23. …because Crowder got decent $ and will get major time in the slot. …because McKenzie was re-signed and should have a similar role as last year, perhaps enhanced. …because Kumerow was re-signed and earmarked for ST. A developmental pick is fine to compete with Stevenson, etc. But not at the expense of more pressing needs. A speedier, pass-catching RB is a higher priority based on what the Bills have already shown this off-season.

This off-season is bananas. Can’t blame anyone for wanting in on the action. Better to trade Poyer now than extend him. Ideally, he plays this year and then walks next spring.

A RB like Hall is more likely for Bills early in the draft than a WR. Bills top 4 WRs are set and Singletary is a UFA in 2023. They've proven to be looking for a more dynamic RB. The question is value - could be a selection at #25 and then trade-up from #57 to secure RB/CB in some order.

FA market is tapped. I doubt Gilmore is in play for several reasons. The other available vets would be frivolous on this roster. Best bet is an early draft pick and then see who else shakes loose this summer. Surprise trade is still possible.

Gilmore is busted. Hard pass at whatever inflated price he's waiting for.

Not sure about an "enforcer", but they do need another versatile LB. Edmunds is UFA in '23 and they're already well over the league average for LB$. Also no depth to speak of. Their pre-draft LB meetings so far are an interesting group.

Big cap teams can't be punting R1 picks. Need those rookie deals for starting caliber players.

Tyler Badie Cole Turner

Bates staying as the primary backup at all 3 IOL positions would be ideal. But the fact they matched says he's penciled in as a starter (Mancz primary depth). They do need a young IOL but not R1. Need/value is best served in R3-4.

WR early makes no sense unless it's a severe BPA scenario. Top 4 is set with Crowder getting respectable $. GD is still under contract in '23 and Diggs likely getting an extension soon. They've proven to be in the market for a dynamic RB (DJ isn't the answer). Singletary is a UFA in '23. WR before RB in this draft would be surprising.
