I don't mind Nolan but I think he is undersized to be effective in the NFL. He reminds me of Oliver which isn't an awful thing but a guy who will play 3 Tech severely undersized in the NFL. I'm not saying that he wont go in the first round, if I was doing a mock draft, I would put him in the first but my own personal rankings I'm not overly impressed by him. His tape at Texas A&M wasn't good, it was much better at Mississippi this past year but I still feel his size limitations will affect him moving forward. He was listed at 305 but showed up at 293 for the Senior Bowl. You have to remember that the Top 10 rankings I am putting out for Defensive Ends and Defensive Tackles all of these guys have a chance at going in the top 2 rounds. Its not like the 10th guy is going in round 4 and the top guy in round 1. Thats how deep this D-line class is. I feel Lott who is similar in size is more explosive getting off the ball. As I stated to another poster, I do not look at projections. I watch tape and I grade based on what I see. Looking at projections just confuses the process and makes you question what you are seeing leaving you to group think.

I actually think he sounds a little more tense and and terse when answering the questions this go around. I think the pressure is on not from ownership but in delivering while Allen is still in his prime. You know Sal M asked about Speed WR fully knowing that the Bills passed on the fastest one in Worthy to take Coleman and that trade will be tied to him justifiably or not much like the Mahomes trade will be tied to the Bills in 2017.

I will disagree only on McCloud. For a 6th round pick he’s had a nice little career going. Not with the Bills of course but he’s still chugging along and in a WR rotation as well as a returner

Alright finally listened to the whole presser by Beane, considering he’s telling the truth which he does more of than McDermott. - Sounds to me that they don’t believe that CB is as big of a priority as we think it is. Sounds like they may attack this position in Free Agency and then add a younger guy later in the draft - Priority seems to be the Defensive line. Whether that’s a trade or drafting multiple guys. Stated that they are looking at the bigger guys more so at Defensive Tackle than the smaller guys. Sounds like they want to get bigger and more physical up front. - Don’t be surprised when they take a RB in the mid rounds again. Deep class plus the uncertainty of Cook in the future could lead to them taking a guy earlier than people think. - As for Edge talked about base ends that can reduce down on passing downs more so than anything else. Sounds like guys like Shamar Stewart, Nic Scourton, Jordan Butch etc more than the James Pearce, Ezeriuaku of the world . Sounds like the Bills want to get much bigger on the defensive line this offseason

I’m not advocating but another paycut would allow them to save money on the cap this year while cutting him next year is much more palatable on the dead cap. He did slice his salary by 50% last year so getting back down to that 8-9 million number initially saves the Bills like 12-14 million Nah that’s Beane essentially saying we’ll have him back for the right price coupled with McDermott saying Bishop ideally is the starter

Thats a great deal for Buffalo well below what he would have gotten on the open market by about 4 or 5 Million AAV. Gonna have to take that saved cash and give it to Cook most likely.

Yup I think they would. I truly think they are going to more man and need better athletes. He’s not going to make it to round 4 and probably not much into 3 so if the Bills want him they’ll have to take him in round 2. I really like him

Cobee Bryant is a perfect fit for the Bills if they pass on CB at 30 to take at 56 and 62. Has some length at 6’0. Has experience with man and zone schemes and has plus athleticism. Doesn’t hurt he has excellent ball production either with 14 college interceptions. Not a plus tackler but willing to stick his nose in there. Thomas for sure won’t make it to 56 and I doubt Amos does either.

He has been so injured the last couple of years I’m honestly surprised he’s not retiring

O I agree that’s not the sole reason. I mean it’s a pretty big drop off still unless their aim is to get another vet. Jimmy G ain’t it and who knows if they sign someone like Darnold if he doesn’t regress. Jaxson Dart won’t be ready but they must like someone and confident to get them if their willing to let Stafford go

There were rumors that the Rams were tired of Stafford wife on social media don’t know how true it is . Does Jimmy G get another crack at a starting job

without hindsight and knowing what BTJ did I would have had him 4th behind Odunze and ahead of BTJ

There have been plenty of examples of very successful #2s who sign large contracts to be a #1 and end up failing. Giving Higgins 25-30 AAV imo is a bad decision. He’s had Chase across from him the last couple and he’s always had Burrow throwing him the football. That’s a deadly duo to help take pressure off of you. What happens when he signs with a team that doesn’t have that advantage. He’s prob not even on the Bills board due to cost

I love Harris and his upside is more than Egbuka but Egbuka is such a smooth does everything well operator. Harris has a lot to do still . I also like Horton but there are too many questions for him to have him that high imo. If you had Horton at 8 or 9 I wouldn’t have bat an eye at you. One thing I love about Golden is he has no wasted motion. He catches, he sticks and accelerates. Too many guys juke or round turning upfield. Not Golden

Paulson Adebo is my # 1 want but he’s probably going to fetch a pretty penny. A guy like Kristian Fulton might not be a bad play for someone cheaper. I will say maybe they bring back Jackson if they are trying to fill holes at it appears the Bills are now fully into the comp pick game and taking a guy like Jackson doesn’t count versus an Adebo If we trade Elam at this point it will probably be the old Boogie Basham pick swap. If we’re lucky we can get a 5 while giving up Elam and a 7th. I think that’s like best case scenario tho for the Bills

I think they’re going more to man so I don’t think it’s going to happen

Im going to be honest with ya, it doesn’t have the top guys of last years class for sure but I really really like the depth options in this draft. There are slot guys, vertical guys, route runners. Most of these guys are going to take a couple to establish but I could argue in rounds 3-5 especially that the WR class this year is better than last year

Yea very very similar except for the fact of Isaiah Bond, which I can see why someone would have him higher to be honest with his speed and explosiveness. I have Royals at 11 and Felton will be very dependent on his 40 as he is a great route runner but I question his long speed

When we have been really good we have been really good even though that has been few and far between but even when we have been bad we usually were anywhere from 6-10 to 8-8 most seasons and we're hardly ever 2-14 etc etc.

Nolan's tape at Texas A&M is not good all the time. That could be the concern as well that evaluators are seeing and he turned it on at Missisissippi but he still does have issues. I just think the upside is too much for him to fall to the 2nd round. As for Pearce man I hope thats not us saying that but it sure does sound like us. The things that makes me hold out hope is that usually the Bills don't let things leak very often but it would kill me to see Pearce drop to us, exactly what we need on the defensive line for him to end up in KC or Philadelphia and kill it.

Honestly don't believe that either will be available to the Bills imo
