Agreed on the explosive part. Just not sure we have room on the roster for a new WR this year. Diggs, Sanders, Beasely, Davis, McKenzie is 5, plus Hodgins... I'd like to see McKenzie used more to add some of that explosiveness. Then look to add a WR early in the draft next year after Sanders and McKenzie are gone. Rookies dont need a lot of time to "develop" when they are coming into the system with Josh at QB. He'll get them the ball. We should be able to plug and play next year if needed.

? Diggs has 3 years left Beasley has 2 years left Davis has 3 years left on rookie deal Hodgins has 3 years left on rookie deal Sanders and McKenzie are on 1 year deals, so I guess you could say the entire group is only together for 1 year. But the core of the group is here for a couple more years at least.

Sorry for the loss of your buddy. Sounds like you gave her a wonderful life, and she returned the favor. Good girl, Penny. Rest easy, now.

Weird rule, especially considering our Front 7 was the weak link last year, and the positions are so different, but ok.

I wont ever complain about adding to the trenches. But wondering if these are the right guys at the right spots to help the team.

Haha, Ive said the same thing. For a fanbase who has learned to live for the Draft (and mock drafts, the combine, etc), all this winning is really ruining our fun! Good question/observation. I had to look it up when you said "light". Onwuzurike is listed at 293lbs. Yikes!

Buffalo Bills Jaelan Phillips, DE, Miami The top two running backs are off the board, and it's a little early for Javonte Williams (North Carolina). So why not inject some life into a middle-of-the-road pass rush instead -- especially with Jerry Hughes turning 33 before the season. Phillips had 8.0 sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss in 2020. 61. Buffalo Bills Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington The Bills finally halt Onwuzurike's slide down the board. He is my No. 35 prospect, but there aren't many teams searching for a defensive tackle right now. And while Buffalo might have preferred a running back, tight end or offensive tackle, Onwuzurike is sudden and creates havoc. He could slide in next to Ed Oliver.

I expected cheesy/campy but action-packed, and that's exactly what I got. When I turned it on, I wasnt sure if I'd make it through the whole thing. But gotta admit, within 30 min I was routing for that chimp, and had to see how it played out! Not a bad way to kill a Wednesday night while still locked down.

If Beane somehow pulled off JOK at #30 and Ossai at #61 I might pass out from loss of blood flow.

Personally, I agree. And it would be smartest for Pegula to fund it all himself, and then he'd be able to CONTROL it all himself. But I dont think that will happen either. It's not just the Convention Center aspect of it. It's being able to use the building outside of Bills games in any manner. If they build a new stadium downtown, and it is an enclosed building, there is no reason the MAC Football Championship shouldnt be moved there. Ditch Ford Field. Could probably get another Bowl game there too.

They'll be there. You'll be there. Everyone will be there. And those that dont go, wont be missed. Plenty of folks waiting to take their spots, especially with a winning team. No one is concerned with the Tailgate Die Hards, nor should they be.

Anyone watching Invincible on Amazon? 3 episodes released and I'm liking it so far. Based on a comic book, it's definitely more of a The Boys "real life" take on being a super hero. Great voice cast too.

No one is saying they'll pack it with conventions. But having the option and the ability to generate any revenue outside of merely 10 days a year is smarter than not having it. With Buffalo's central location to so much of the NE population, they certainly could try to rope in a couple of different events. Better than none.

Ehh, to me, the real essence of Mafia-dom happens inside the stadium when we bring one of the most raucous environments for an opposing team to play in. The "tailgating" we are now (in)famous for is just buffoonery that was added to make the games entertaining since the product on the field was so bad for so long. You can keep the "I had my first beer today" frat party. We can go back to the tailgating that was around back in the 80s-90s when it was centered around some good food before a good game.

Yep, retractable would be highly unlikely, and if they did do it, would only be open for the September games. Not in the winter which fans fantasize about. They cant move those roofs in any type of weather. Certainly not in a lake effect storm.

Put it downtown. Make it a dome so it can be used as a Convention Center offseason. Tie in a couple hotels, and a bunch of bars and restaurants. That way I can fly up for a game and never leave "the compound" all weekend. Boom, into the 21st century.

I'd imagine Harris at #30 means he's coming in as #1 RB, which then means he replaces Singletary. Harris as your every-down back. Moss as the change of pace thumper Breida as the change of pace speeder Beane will likely go more towards BPA than reaching for a need. And for the talent in this draft, it looks more like an RB will be the smart pick late in the 1st than reaching for a second-tier DL. But anything is possible. Especially at #30.

When we were regularly picking in the #8-#12 range, then this logic made sense. Now that we are picking #30, the values shift drastically. We're pretty much picking in the 2nd round. Getting a top RB at that spot is pretty common. I'm not saying they MUST take a RB there, although I do like Harris a lot. Just that our options are now wide open. Pretty much anything except punter/kicker is on the table. ---------------------------------------- With regards to Breida, I see him as a Yeldon replacement. Anyone we draft will likely be a Singletary replacement. As far as depth chart and playing time go.

I had been thinking the League has told Snyder he must sell the team, and they want the new owners to pick the new name. Give the franchise an entire clean slate and fresh start. If Jauronimo is right, and the buyout of minority holders is to prep for a sale, it would make sense.

Could be. I saw that mentioned elsewhere as well. But wont put anything past Snyder.

Almost unbelievably, the EXACT OPPOSITE just happened this morning! I am SHOCKED by this news of Snyder buying out the minority holders. The NFL just wrapped their own investigation into the WFT and its past issues, and the League's report concluded with a recommendation that the NFL forces Snyder to sell the team. And now the opposite is happening, and is approved by the league. WTF WFT!

Update: Buffalo Start-up darling ACV Auctions (ACVA) IPO'ed today. That was who I was trying to get in on. Their original IPO price was estimated to be $20. They actually IPOed at $25. By the time I could get in through my lowly amateur retail account, the price was closer to $30. All in all, not too bad of a mark-up. Especially since I'm not trying to flip this stock anytime soon. Gonna ride this out and see what these guys can do over the next few years.

This is Beane's MO every year. Fill holes with mid-level FA, then head into the draft in a position to go BPA as often as he wants. Love it.

All Carolina jokes aside, I'm more excited about this signing than any other DL we've taken from the Panthers.

Gonna hang out here until isee what @ScottLaw has to say about this...
