Yes, I Agree that the Bears got fleeced all things considered

I don’t think the Bears got enough to be honest. Was DJ Moore valued as a 1st rounder must have been based on what they got Its basically a first, 2 seconds, 2 thirds and DJ Moore who was either valued as a first or 2nd round pick

look at my previous post I said you can get up to 4 picks for PLAYERS. I then stated SF got 4 for players and 3 for coaches. All minority coaches are 3rds so figured it didn’t need to be explained

I actually just read and learned that players with 10 accrued season who receive mega contracts like Millers can receive a maximum of a 5th round pick. Learned something new today

There is no snaps played, Pro Bowls etc. Thsts folk lore from before people figured out compensatory picks and talking heads would just spout it as fact. It’s literally gained/lost not matter who the player. Contract negation on like average per year salaries. More lost than signed. Eligible for picks. What threshold do the eligible picks meet and comp picks

Yes you can have a general idea. The only real hold up is getting the financial thresholds for each round every year because it adjusts. The people who follow this stuff knew we weren’t going to get any months ago.

Ok I’ll try to make it as easy as possible. There are also certain thresholds for salaries so if we lose or sign a guy under the minimum threshold it doesn’t count to the formula. Cut players don’t count in the formula. There are also only 32 comp picks given out. Each team can get a max 4 comp pick on players and additional comp picks on minority coaches which is how the 49ers got 7. So let’s say this year: the Bills lose 4 guys that meet the minimum amount. The amounts are the average per year pay. So we lose Edmunds for 17 million, Poyer for 10 million, Singletary signs for 4 million a year, and Rodger Saffold for 4 million a year. Then we go out and sign a non cut player like idk let’s say OG Isaac Seumelo for 11 million a year and he’s our only Free Agent we sign that wasn’t cut. We lose: Edmunds 17 million Poyer 10 million Singletary 4 million Saffold 4 million We gained: Isaac Seumelo for 11 million Thats a net lose of 3 players which means the Bills are now eligible for 3 comp picks. They then take the 2 most like Average per year and negate each other. In this case Poyer contract is the most like Seumelo. That leaves us with Edmunds, Singletary, and Saffold as players we can get comp picks for. Based on last years threshold we would get 3rd for Edmunds, 6th for Singletary, and a 6th for Saffold.

It’s not hard. If you gain more Free Agents then you lose you get nothing. If you lose more Free Agents and then you sign you’re eligible for that amount of comp picks. Then they take like salaries of players gained/lost and take them out of the equation leaving two guys you get picks on. Over the cap is like 95% accurate and make it very easy to learn

Not anymore, if you believe he is a top Guard in the league which some believe he would be his salary would fall in line with the top guys at his position.

1. Trenton Simpson LB Clemson 2. Tucker Kraft TE South Dakota State 3. Jammie Robinson SAF FSU 4. Sydney Brown SAF Illinois 5. Chase Brown RB Illinois 6. Mohamoud Diabete LB Utah 7. Charlie Jones WR Purdue 8. Riley Moss CB Iowa 9. Jake Andrews OC/OG Troy 10. Lonnie Phelps DE/LB Kansas Late round guys who peak my interest: Chandler Zavala- Think he can be a starter but position flex could be an issue only played LG in College SirVocea Dennis LB/Saf Pitt- He’ll at the very least be a long time ST in the NFL. Probably will get drafted and I really like Pitt defenders. Always seemed to get coaches up well. Jartavius Martin CB/S Illinois- Gets overshadowed by Sydney Brown but I think he can be a good depth player early on and valuable for teams because he can play multiple positions. Ali Gaye DE/LB LSU- This one is the projection to me. Built like a prototype. Has had good pass rushing games but is raw. He’ll either be a huge steal or out of the NFL early.

Chris Nowinski a former WWE wrestler and Harvard Grad is the top researcher in CTE I agree that the medical industry has come a long way but we still have a very long way to go particularly with the brain, nervous system, genetics, and gut health affecting other areas of the body

If Allen became a check down master and it led to a SB I wouldn’t care.

Yes I think we could either get a 2nd or a combination of like a 3 and 5 for him.

Nope, it’s irreversible damage. My guess is there is management of symptoms but there is no cure for it. The medical field barely knows how the brain or the central nervous system works. There are so many syndromes that are supposedly idiopathic. Idiopathic just means they don’t know how it happens and is a fancy way to make you feel better about yourself. Most of them are most certainly either a brain or nervous system malfunction.

A fig can be a tree and a tree has wood , so it must be Eric Wood

it’s not what I think it’s what the Bills think. I’d draft a RT but I doubt the Bills are going to do it in round 1

The problem I see at 27 is unless a top guy drops like Skoronski, there isn't an IOL guy that is more worthy of the 27th pick vs a guy you can get in round 2-3. Now if we're talking tackle you could talk me into Darnell Wright or Dawand Jones at 27 I suppose but I don't see the Bills going tackle in round 1

The problem with IOL is the guys are all very similarly graded. Most of the depth is round 2-4. If they are going Oline it would have to be tackle and I’m not sure a good one will be left. After Addison showed up in the 170s and ran 4.55 he might drop to the Bills. I think I’d take that chance if he’s there. I think if Robinson is on the board it’s a no brainer.

Bingo. The Bills will be using Knox and a high pick more than 30% of the time if they go that route. Davis is also a good blocking WR and is excellent on play action passes(when he catches the ball)

What? The worst teams have the most money say it ain’t so. I know it’s a broad stroke of the brush but the Bills can make the necessary moves to be competitive in Free Agency and a trade down or 2 during the draft gives us the capital we need

Rodney Hudson is retiring I believe

I stated it was double edged in a later post. I understand that. It really comes down to losing out on some free agents and getting a 2nd and maybe like a 5th for Edmunds and not getting top tier guys or letting him walk and get an end of 3rd rounder in compensatory form. We can restructure and maneuver some things because I think we’re going to be bargain bin shopping anyways vs going after top guys

You can also rescind the franchise tag on the player before mid July to open that cap space back up. It’s double edged tho as your tying up money at the beginning of FA

I would tag Edmunds and try to trade him for compensation. Other teams can knock that cap down with an extension

Yes I’m a big fan but less so at Mike than at Field LB. He’s a better player outside than Inside in my opinion. I think he’d be better in an attacking defense than a rush 4 drop 8 type defense like a Tampa 2 or the quarters defense the Bills were playing
