  1. And to pile on, 2 picks after Basham KC came back in and took Creed Humphrey. Two HUGE impact and value picks, while we got a 2nd (3rd?) string rotational guy. Agreed. Folks need to look at what Roquan Smith just signed for. That is your Edmunds deal.
  2. WHEN the Bills make the Super Bowl there is no place I'd rather be for the game than in Buffalo with all my family and friends. Bonus for being able to participate in the celebratory razing of the city.
  3. Just stop right there. No need to discuss further because the entire basis for this conversation is way off. If, IF, you could get Tremaine to re-sign at $11M/year, you do that immediately because that is a half-off discount on the $20M/year he is actually going to sign for. I want to know which "analyst" came up with that $11 number considering it would be a PAY CUT from what he made in 2022. And I dont ever recall a top Free Agent taking a pay cut when they hit the market. Tremaine's real numbers are more like 4/$80M. And I'd still re-sign him over a FA OT. Now, if you want to talk about a FA OG like Issac Seumalo or Ben Powers who will likely sign for far less the Edmunds or an OT, then I'm all for that discussion. Agreed. Upgrades at the Guard spots will improve both the Interior line play AND our Tackle play. Upgrading a Tackle will not have nearly as much bang for the buck.
  4. Still up! (surprisingly)
  5. At least 1, if not 2 years ago. At least thats when we should have drafted his replacement. Humphrey or Linderbaum
  6. The guys I'm looking at... Vorhees Schmitz Wypler Tippmann Need to look into Torrence more. Would like to get 2 of them in the first 3 rounds. I dont think Morse is as set as some think. We can save $9M by moving on and he's one head slap away from retirement.
  7. It doesnt need a name. It shouldnt have a name. It doesnt deserve a name. We dont need to "brand" all of our heartbreaking moments so we can constantly relive them and wallow in their misery and make it into another tshirt. It was a ***** game at the end of a weird, ***** season. Let's just move on and dont look back.
  8. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden Should just be reiterations of the same 5-10 bands for everyone
  9. Tough to say they were "exceptional" when neither could crack the starting line up of their previous teams. Beck Water listed the draft positions of all the Safeties left in the playoffs. Plenty of late round guys there. Sure, it's probably easier to "develop" guys who were already talented enough to be a 1st round pick. But we cant require early picks at every position.
  10. Ah good catch on it being his first year. But as I mentioned up-thread, Poyer and Hyde were both very late picks too. The Bills have made late round (and even UDFA) DBs into serviceable players.
  11. Not just here, but fans from other teams and the media all agreed. Heck, posters here were questioning why Beane was bothering with all 8 picks since we didnt have 8 roster spots for them to even take!
  12. Micah Hyde - 5th round pick Jordan Poyer - 7th round pick 🤷‍♂️
  13. Just a guess... Those safeties, Hamlin and Johnson, have been on the roster for a few seasons and it was expected that they were being coached up to be able to step right in when Hyde and Poyer aged out. Hamlin did "just ok" as long as he had Poyer telling him what to do and even then was shakey, and Johnson was complete garbage. They were not nearly as developed or ready as anyone hoped. I dunno. 🤷‍♂️
  14. He's the coworker who is the boss's son. Literally how he has managed to fail his way up for this long. He is the poster child for the Rooney Rule.
  15. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH *wheeze* HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
  16. If it was such a fluky "perfect shot" and not a preexisting condition, then I could see the possibility. Especially with him being only 24 and in good shape prior. That Premier League soccer player came back like 200 days later. Not an exact comparison, but a decent example. Fingers crossed that it's 50/50.
  17. Not just here. Across the entire country with fans and media. But devastating injuries to major vet starters will expose things. Even if unfairly.
  18. Jets draft positions: 2022 - #4, #10, #26, #36 2021 - #2, #14, #34 2019 - #3, etc... If you want to suffer through 4 years of ineptitude and incompetence in order to get Beane those sweet top draft picks, then go for it. Totally different world picking in the Top 5 every year vs being a winning team and picking in the 20s every year. But something tells me if this is how folks are reacting after 3 years of double-digit wins and deep playoff runs, then theyd be burning down One Bills Drive before Beane got his second draft of Top 5 picks.
  19. I had said OL, OL, WR, OL, but it ultimately depends on the players available at each pick. But we need at least 2-3 OL and 2 WRs out of this draft, with a top priority on OL.
  20. Beane has never shied away from accountability. I dont care what Donte Whitner has to say about his interpretation of a sound bite. But more so, you're taking this banter way too seriously. Again, might be a sign to take a breather. Emotions are HIIIIIIIGH this week.
  21. 1. I think Singletary comes back cheap. The RB Free Agency market is loaded, and prices are coming down by the minute. And if not, I like Cook (and Hines). Cook was a draft pick, and Hines was acquired with another drafted RB. No loss there either way. 2. Definite need. Has been for 2-3 seasons. Inexcusable to not address. 3. I'm not giving up on Brown, yet. 4. Agreed, Shakir needs a chance at a promotion, AND we need to draft WR early. 5. DT. If we're bringing everyone back and Jones is healthy, I dont see too bad a hole there. 6. I think we do pay Edmunds. We'll see. 7. Safeties will be Hyde & Hamlin. We had drafted Hamlin and Johnson to replace Hyde and Poyer. As we found this year, Johnson aint it, but Hamlin wasnt too bad in his first year getting real reps. I know we're all disappointed right now and feeling bad, and Beane certainly has his work cut out for him, but I don't see so many glaring holes that they can't be addressed. Go all Offense in the draft (OL, OL, WR, OL,...), sign a couple guys, and let's roll.
  22. That wasnt the topic. Unless Whitner mentioned which OL he wanted to draft last year. How genius of him to sit there and critique in hindsight when the team is down. But I'll note your vote for Donte Whitner for GM. For the record, I will always trust in Brandon Beane over Donte Whitner when it comes to team building. Or pretty much anything.
