I'd be surprised to see them hit safety high. Maybe corner, though I'm personally comfortable with drafting later and developing. We have options for 2025 on the roster already. It sounds like the strength of this draft is front 7. Supposedly a weaker WR class than the last few years. I fully expect to see DT and DE in the 1st 2 rounds. I would have said WR with the other 2nd but will depend who's available. I could see corner if they don't like their options. Overall, they're in really good shape. They could roll out a solid team in 2025 with no draft or FA at all.

Agreed. However, even if you agree with the other description of the play,the criticism of Lewis is totally over the top. Arguably the greatest WR of this generation made an incredible play that most couldn't have. There's no shame in getting beat like that and it's certainly not a reason to be all over a UDFA as if he's a failure who is a giant liability. Lewis has been a solid contributor for a couple years now. They seem to have found his niche this year and he's really been excelling.

Unless things really change, Josh doesn't have a realistic chance. Lamar is playing lights out and running away with it. The antithesis of last year. Lamar/Baltimore would need to hit the skids and Josh would have to crank up the production. I just don't see it.

The physicality more than makes up for any supposed lack of athleticism. He's a dog. Nobody is going to treat him like a punk. That attitude/confidence can spread through the defence. I think the plan has always to pay 1 corner and rotate the other. Benford will get his well deserved bag.

No. They are solid but too much inexperience, too much dead cap space. This is one of the weakest squads we've had since Josh 'arrived'. It's been a successful reset/reload so far to be sure. They are still one of the better teams despite the big roster purge. I'd have trouble putting them higher than 3rd in the AFC at best though. Doesn't mean they can't get it done this year. Stranger things have happened. I have higher expectations for '25 and '26 though.

Ask a San Diego fan if firing Marty (who accomplished less than McD in the playoffs) was a mistake. Pretty sure Packers fans aren't clamoring to dump La Fleur.

They don't have Hill and Waddle. I would hope the plan VS the Ravens would alter next game, pending injuries. Chiefs are too well balanced; stick to the plan against them.

I don't really disagree but I also don't think that's mutually exclusive from my statement. QBs without a village fail. They don't put the village on their back and carry them to success. It's half the reason you see the Darnolds and Geno Smiths of the world.

I've seen enough of your essays previously. You can save the time and 500 words. I still don't even think we are that great this year. It's a reload with 1/3 of our cap chewed up on dead space. I'd probably have us 3rd or 4th in the AFC right now. I expect the '25 and '26 Bills to be better. I'll still hope for the best on any given Sunday and I'll still think firing McDermott is foolish.

Coaches fail at about the rate of a 6th round pick. I'm not going to throw away a pro bowler because he hasn't been all-pro yet. Odds are the next guy isn't as good.

With Tua back and Waddle and Hill to deal with, I think it was a 'lesser of 2 evils' situation. History has proven that coaches rarely have the patience to stick to the run. That said, Daquan looks nothing like last year and it's really hurting us.

Sounds hot.... Please do share haha

Not wanting to blow things up doesn't mean you don't want to win. That's a dichotomy that only exists in the minds of the anti-McD group. This all stems from the theory that; a) McDermott is below replacement level, with damn near any choice being equal or better and b) Josh is so good that almost nothing else matters. I disagree with both but I don't expect to convince you otherwise.

Who on earth is saying anything of the sort? There's a big gap between that and 'fire McDermott because he's so inept, the grass must be greener elsewhere'. We all want to win. Some don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater because it hasn't happened yet.

You'd be hard pressed to find a personel executive that would put Purdy's talent over Herbert's. Situation matters. A lot.
