He's not outrunning most defensive linemen with that time, more or less CB's, S's, or LB's.

I know the Bills had met with Restrepo at the Combine, but he won't be hearing his name called by us. He makes Keon Coleman look like Tyreek Hill.

Here is his Combine profile. It says he basically doesn't attack the run game consistently at this point, but he can be effective from sideline to sideline. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/nick-emmanwori/3200454d-4d08-3509-4f43-ab1aefccbd0f

It's crazy that the Eagles are at #12 with Hurts, Barkley, Brown, Smith, Goedert, Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson, and Jordan Mailata all getting BIG $$$.

We find ourselves in need of an infusion of young talent across the board. Too much to push all of our chips onto the table for any one player that we would get from this draft.

First three selections on days 1 & 2: CB, S, CB, just for you my friend

This list says we met with Collins. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2025/02/buffalo-bills-2025-nfl-combine-prospect-meeting-tracker-latest-news-reports-and-notes.html It is possible the first list I posted is incomplete though because I think they get 30 meetings at the Combine. The first list only has 24. There are 30 listed on this link. I will update the original post to include the ones I missed.

What are the possibilities that McDermott has a huge man-crush on Safety Nick Emmanwori?

I can think of some other "prominent" names as well.

I don't think he has talked himself off of the team per say, but I also don't believe his approach has helped him in the slightest. I talked about this in the other James Cook thread. I believe, and this is just my 2, that this is part of the reason why you see all of the other guys receiving contract extensions and he has not. Beane and Co. have a number in mind, and I expect that nothing will make them go beyond that. If that number was $15M then the deal would already be done. It's obviously not and no amount of reposts, 👀's, or social media scrubbing will help his cause. I think if Cook is to get traded, it will happen Day 1 or 2 of the draft. I think teams will want to see how it shakes out with Jeanty, Hampton, Henderson, and Judkins. If they are all gone by mid 2nd Round, I think the phone will start ringing. The most likely teams I think would be in are the Cardinals, the Raiders, the Giants, and maybe the Titans. The Cardinals would have a good foundation on O (if they still believe in Murray) with Murray, Cook, MHJ, and McBride. If LV goes OL then WR, or WR then OL, they could look to trade for someone like Cook. Daboll and the G-Men could look to trade for a proven RB and use their first couple of picks elsewhere. The Titans need help everywhere on O. If they end up drafting Ward, Cook would be a nice get to pair with the young QB.

From the visits thus far, I believe it's safe to say we will be going DT, CB, WR, or S with our first three selections.

These are our visits/meetings so far: Zy Alexander, Cornerback, LSU (COM) Trey Amos, Cornerback, Ole Miss (COM) Jahdae Barron, Cornerback, Texas (COM) Andre Biggers, Defensive Tackle, Georgia Tech (PRO) Isaiah Bond, Wide Receiver, Texas (COM) Vernon Broughton, Defensive Tackle, Texas (COM) Denzel Burke, Cornerback, Ohio State (COM) Jamaree Caldwell, Defensive Tackle, Oregon (COM) Mello Dotson, Cornerback, Kansas (COM) Nick Emmanwori, Safety, South Carolina (COM) Trevor Etienne, Running Back, Georgia (COM) Joshua Farmer, Defensive Tackle, Florida State (COM, PRO) Matthew Golden, Wide Receiver, Texas (COM) Kenneth Grant, Defensive Tackle, Michigan (COM) Mike Green, Defensive End, Marshall (COM) Landon Jackson^, Defensive End, Arkansas (COM, PRO) Will Johnson, Cornerback, Michigan (COM) Andrew Mukuba, Safety, Texas (COM) Walter Nolen, Defensive Tackle, Ole Miss (COM) CJ Ogbonna, Quarterback, Buffalo (PRO) Xavier Restrepo, Wide Receiver, Miami (COM) Arian Smith, Wide Receiver, Georgia (COM) Malaki Starks, Safety, Georgia (COM) Josaiah Stewart, Outside Linebacker, Michigan (COM) Xavier Watts, Safety, Notre Dame (COM) Savion Williams, Wide Receiver, TCU (COM) Alfred Collins, Defensive Tackle, Texas (COM) Chris “Pooh” Paul Jr, Linebacker, Ole Miss (COM) Jaydon Blue, Running Back, Texas (COM) Jordan James, Running Back, Oregon (COM) Jaylen Reed, Safety, Penn St. (COM) Alijah Clark, Safety, Syracuse (COM) *Added some names originally missed from the Combine*

Still frustrated by it a bit because I see it as another wasted opportunity, and another hose job in a few ways. Even with the refs jobbing us on some spots, we still had a chance at the end and people didn't make the plays needed to win. On to the 2025 season and hoping for the only result that will suffice. Lombardi or bust.

Ed Oliver is a good player, despite all of the flak he gets on here. This move would make our team weaker.

Let it go my friend. Weo will go down with the ship.

If we move up, it will be somewhere in the early 20's for a defensive player the staff likes. Most likely a CB.

I could see Jerry add him on the cheap after the draft. He has familiarity with Dak.

A 31 year old WR coming off of an week 8 ACL tear in 2024. A WR who, through his childish antics and outbursts, pretty much forced his way out of Buffalo. Easy pass.

You can't be mad at Cincy. They are keeping the best WR duo in the league together, for their Top 3 in the league QB. They drafted all three of these guys and have kept them all for the foreseeable future. It also helps with the stigma about Mike Brown not paying his players. They also re-signed Gesicki, who had a bit of a rebirth in that offense. If they don't start the year like a bottom feeder again, then they should be right there in the mix for Playoff contention. Then, if they get in, they will be a tough out. They still need to get better all over the place though. OL, DL, Secondary, and we're talking multiple positions. But if they get fortunate in the draft, they already have the other pieces locked in place.

I mean, things like this tend to boil down to $$$. Hollins, at this stage in his career, more than likely went with the bigger payday. We're too busy over here giving Lattimer $24M.

Definitely Dorian Williams

Blasphemy. How dare he choose Moorman's number?

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen done by an organization in my entire life. You sign a guy to a $24M contract with foreknowledge that he will be getting suspended for 6 games because of PED's? A no-named guy at that. Then, not only do you sign one guy being suspended for 6 games over PED's, you leave the contract on the table for the 2ND guy to sign even though he's going to be suspended 6 games for PED's? Then you want to justify it by talking about how the FA crop is dwindling down? In the history of the NFL, show me where someone, anyone has done this before. You don't think other FO's are sitting back like, "wtf are these guys doing in Buffalo?" This idiocy is on another level.

Uhhhhh, wt..... Seriously? Did they know about this prior to signing them? Can the deals now be voided?
