You have to look at the depth of the draft honestly. The DE and DT draft drops off big time after the first 5 or so while the WR crop is incredibly deep. I think that’s why the Bills made this move. Said the top 4 WRs are gone and WRs 5-10 let’s say are all similarly graded

DT is by far the biggest need. DE we at least have 3 solid ones in Rousseau, Miller, and Epenesa. We literally have 2 DTs on the roster right now.

See I like these convos to me if you put Samuel in the slot which is possible than Shakir isn’t playing because last years first round pick Kincaid needs a higher % of snaps than being a traditional Y. it makes more sense to play Samuel outside so Shakir and Kincaid can do what they do best.

Id like to know where this X receiver is going to play that’s a first rounder. Got Diggs and Samuel making good money on the outside with Shakir and Kincaid in the slot. Unless you’re playing Samuel in the slot and Shakir isn’t playing. No way we could go with a 5 foot 11 outside WR in the Buffalo cold. I just want someone to piece it together for me since we absolutely have to have one on the field. I actually am glad they added a weapon. I fully expect them to take a WR early but wouldn’t surprise me if that’s in round 2 now. I’d say DT is looking likely and there is a possibility a Newton, Murphy or Fiske(with a trade down)

That’s starter money but he’s not a big bodied X receiver so I expect nothing but disappointment from the masses here( Yes I’m being facetious)

sorry meant to quote you. Looks like OTC has it between 3 million which qualifies at least for now and 2.6 doesn’t so it’s somewhere between that. Now if more over 3 million contracts get signed it may push 3 million out of the top 32

If it’s a high enough base salary yet. It will be close to be honest. If it’s 2 years 6 million yes. If it’s 2 years 5 million with 2 mill in incentives no. Looks like the cutoff is around 2.6 or 2.7 million

Will be interesting to see if he qualifies for comp pick. Nothing more than a 7th but that would put us at our max of 4 and Tyrel Dodson is still out there who I’m surprised hasn’t gotten any traction that we know of

They’re not going to sign anyone that hasn’t been released to anything substantial. We are building a pick pool to get younger and quick

So unless he runs the fastest 40 time in history you don’t want a guy who’s 6 foot. I think McConkey will be on the board but not much after 28 if he is. I actually have the Bills taking Worthy at 28 right now.

Im not. I’m not the guy demanding a big X WR opposite of Diggs like so many. I get the reasoning behind it but I think Allen’s accuracy allows us not to have that guy

Im not moving the goal post you literally said you wanted a big WR with track speed who can make contested catches . So what happens if Mitchell is off the board which I think is a possibility? I’m not totally advocating for McConkey. I’m mock drafting rn and don’t have the Bills taking him in my version but if Mitchell is gone where is your next guy that fits that criteria

Over the cap which is very accurate is classifying guys at 2.6 as not qualifying this year. They are usually like 95% accurate on their stuff every year. I see what was posted on twitter about 1.79 though so I see what your seeing

Jackson just barely meets the threshold for a 6th rounder, I also highly doubt Morrow and Hollins will qualify so I think it’s pretty likely we’re at 3 4,5, and 6 but maybe 7

Please explain who the 6’3 220 pound guy with elite hands, track speed, who can separate and has excellent body control will be available at 28. Legette is 6’1, Coleman had iffy contested catch rates, and Mitchell despite his combine numbers hasn’t shown he can separate

I only used them because they were off the top of my head. I’m sure if you went through every roster you’ll find teams without traditional Xs, traditional Z receivers and slots. I don’t understand the hesitancy for McConkey but the love for other guys. McConkey was one of the reasons why Mitchell transferred to Texas but a lot of people want Mitchell here it makes no sense. You also stated McConkey was a slot early on but now earlier in this thread said he was a move Z now. What changed since then

They are qualifying Free Agents but they have to have a minimum contract of over 2.5 million a year. Hollins contract is up to 3 Million so his base salary likely isnt above 2.5 and Morrow may but I doubt they signed him as a # 3 or 4 LB for much more than the 2.5 million.

Some rumors on the twittersphere are that Levi Wallace is coming back

I think you have an old school mindset about formations and lining up. Kupp, Nacua, and Atwell are all classified as slots guys and they made it work. I get the idea of a bigger body across from Diggs but this is 2024 not 1995. If you have an innovator on offense body types shouldn’t matter. Waddle and Tyreek Hill neither is a traditional X Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel , Jahan Dotson Jags had Ridley , Christian Kirk, and Zay Jones none of which are X WRs

Jackson Powers Johnson is the only Center I would consider in round 1 and I expect him to be long gone

People want to pigeonhole him as a slot because he’s White and not 6’3. Literally all the facts from his game tape, to his testing, to his comparisons put him right up there with many top outside WRs. Do the Bills take him I have no idea but the slot WR not sure he can play outside bit is dumb as hell

Yup I do because we have Josh Allen and we have a draft and it’s only day 1 of Free Agency. We’ll sign cheaper guys to fill holes as this thing goes along

I don’t believe we’ll be better per se but I think we’ll be about the same. 12-5 or 11-6

People always laugh about comp picks but the Bills are now at 11 picks this year and right now 10 picks next year. If your on the trade up train for someone like Adonai Mitchell or whomever they can dip into their pick pool for next year despite not having a 3rd rounder this year

Prob a sixth for Jackson but hey that means so far next year we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 4(Davis), 5, 5(Floyd), 6, 6(Basham), 6(Jackson) I do not expect Hollins or Morrow to qualify against the Bills
