I love all the assumptions just reading through. Idk what the guys thought process is but not everyone loves Los Angeles, not everyone loves Buffalo. Different lifestyles for different people. You know whats probably going to make his decision. Money and who’s going to give him the best opportunity to make more money in the future.

Kelvin Fisher was with the Bills during Whaleys time

My question was more hypothetical since you talked about giving up extra draft capital which the 4th and 5th rounders. I understand it’s not going to get the deal done. It was a counter to your original point

Looks like the Bills are doing their due diligence on CBS in the 2nd-3rd round range

It won’t happen, not because the Bills wouldn’t like too but because another team would pick him up on waivers before he could get there. You have to remember the team liked Ike Boettger and wanted to put him on the practice squad and tried to sneak him in there and the Chiefs grabbed him and he was an UDFA 1st year guy

He’s not falling solely because his combine numbers weren’t good. There are a ton of rumors he has character concerns and was the worst interview of all prospects at the combine

I don’t think they would take him but I dont like this mentality of a player. Plus I think it hurts him saying something like this. He’s basically saying after 5 years you might not have me anymore

Tbh it’s great you look in studies but Beane has never once said he looks at that stuff. I do think analytics drive them Moreso than previous regimes. Yes the Bills only have 1 3rd, but they have 2 4th and 2 5th and an extra 7th. So in your theories, would it be okay if the Bills traded 40, the higher 4th, and the higher 5th because they have extras?

You don’t think the Bills would trade up ahead of the Patriots to secure a Noah Fant or Irv Smith for an extra 3rd round pick? I could see that as a strong possibility. Your talking about a GM who traded away 2 2s and a 3 in just last years draft to secure the guys he wanted. He also has traded up for Zay Jones and Dion Dawkins.

I am not a fan of Buffalo outside of Hey i'm from the area let me root for them. I"m an FSU fan so I haven't followed a ton. I did work for UB and have met Nate Oats, he seems like a down to earth kind of guy. I'm watching this game and can't help that I want to punch Bobby Hurley in the face just by his constant negativity and reactions on the sidelines. A typical dukey in my mind and he hasn't changed since his playing days. Did he act like this at Buffalo? It doesn't surprise me that he has been T'd up so much this year. You can also see the huge difference in coaching demeanor's between this two.

I could see something like the Bills take BPA at 9 no matter what position it is, and then try to trade up to like 27-31 to grab another need position while only sacrificing a pick or two. If they move up any higher then that range its gonna start to cost a lot more.

Not every guy that you listed is going to make this roster. Plus you bring in 90 for camp. I suspect your going to see the Bills trading up at times or trading out of spots for next years draft picks. In the end I can see the Bills only taking like 6 or 7 guys that they really like in this draft and maneuvering for their guy or trading the picks to the 2020 draft.

I also have to think that the Bills are going to be looking to move one of these guys if/when they sign or draft another offensive lineman. You usually only dress 7 on gamedays and only tend to keep 8 on a roster. If you include Spain or a Draft pick our depth chart is pretty crowded to squeeze in those 7 or 8 guys. OT OG OC Dawkins Long Morse Nsekhe Feliciano Bodine Waddle Teller Boettger McDermott Ducasse Spain/Draft pick Obviously we expect Bodine, Ducasse, and McDermott to be let go but even so you have 9 guys. That means they might be looking to move Teller/or Boettger for a low round pick or something.

I think that it is more of an indication that they don't plan on moving Dawkins to the inside. They already brought in Long, Feliciano and apparently are still interested in adding another guard. Makes me think they are less sold on Wyatt Teller more than anything.

Unless there is some thought to playing him at SLB. I doubt thats why they met with him at the combine but you never know they do lack depth at LB and he easily showed he could drop in coverage and cover a lot of ground during the combine drills. Would fill the role Lorenzo Alexander has been in. LB on early downs, put him at DE on pass rushing situations. I dont think thats it but he does fit the Tremaine Edmunds "freak" LB mold.

The Bills had dinner with Ferguson prior to his pro day only from what Tony Pauline said. No mention of a visit to one bills drive

Ferguson scares me, he has a lot of production at the group of 5 level but looks stiff on tape and not a bend the edge kind of guy and he's not a great bull rusher. He might be the type that dominates college football and then underachieves in the NFL.

Former 2nd round pick of the Bengals, was a bust at OT is now trying to transition to TE. Another possible blocking TE? I'm sure they are just doing their due diligence

Older, unwilling to block, wants a lot of money

4 years old watching Super Bowl 25. Chose the Bills over the Giants as my favorite team for whatever reason a 4 year old would

From the rumors, the Niners love Williams and they did just trade for Dee Ford so it’s very possible Bosa is there at 3

I expect a leap and we should make the playoffs if he does. Our schedule is not very tough if he does make that leap. The Dolphins twice, the NY Giants, Washington Redskins should be auto wins to get us to 4 already we could easily win games against the Jets(2), Bengals, Ravens, Titans, Broncos, Steelers Tough games against the Pats(2), Browns, Cowboys, Eagles and I would suspect we’d win a couple of these games

Bills met with CB Blessaun Austin and SAF Kiy Hester at their pro day Bills had dinner but not sure that means a visit with DE Jaylon Ferguson
