He’ll be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year and then out of their price range. trading a 2 and getting a 3 back as a comp pick as a worst case feels more like not wasting a year with an obvious hole than it does going all in 1 1
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Well, Then. That answers at least one of the questions "what, exactly, does KC intend to do about its OL?" Cut. Not lost, Cut. their injuries are why they got cut, so you could say lost.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Rico said: I heard about this driving home from work on the FAN here in Baltimore. The consensus take is that he is a far better RT than LT and not even close in talent to Ronnie Stanley who will be returning from injury. Once he became a malcontent, there was no problem shipping him off when the deal was right. They don’t like that he was traded to the rival Chiefs, but consensus again is that he will have issues with protecting the Rat’s blind side from speed rushers. Competent? Yes. Great? Absolutely not. The Rat ( 😀 ) , never heard that about Mahomes ?

This is a clear signal. "We will never beat the Chiefs and we know it" Pathetic, cowardly move. no team believes they are giving up, the ravens feel they are getting rid of a disgruntled player , and got a bunch of picks in the process . It doesn't do us any favors and the Ravens aren't going anywhere with Lamar and the Wing -T offense but they aren't mailing it in.
Milanos Milano Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Meanwhile, we are busy signing players like Bobby Hart.

Eh who needs Tackles anyway 😋 for whatever reason McBeane haven't viewed the Online as important as other positions . I wish they would as our Oline doesn't run block well and is average at passblocking.

I like Beane and think he is a decent GM, but his defensive draft picks and FA decisions have been head scratchers for the most part. Outside of CBs, I feel like we have busted overall on defensive picks. 2
mannc Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Uh oh, I think this means we need to re-do the TSW Mock Draft...

I believe his philosophy is to spend money on a lot of solid guys instead of a few great ones. Edmunds and Milano have been pretty good, Oliver has had his moments lets see how Epenesa does with another year under his belt. Edited April 24, 2021 by Buffalo Barbarian 1

Blank Stare Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Friggin’ Ravens working the draft again. Doesn’t matter if it’s Newsome or DeCosta. They acquire draft capital better than anyone else while still remaining a competitive football team year in, year out. 2
BADOLBILZ Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 5 hours ago, HappyDays said: This is a good trade for both sides. KC will not have a lot of capital left to address their defense, and they do have serious needs at CB, edge rusher, and LB. But anyone who watched the Super Bowl knows protecting Mahomes is the priority. Bills need to be prepared to just outscore them next year if we want to compete. The Chiefs want to be great where their strength lies........Bills fans shouldn't be so worried about balancing out the talent on both sides of the ball either. That kind of balance isn't sustainable. 1 1 1

Allen and the O are where your best chance is to win You are right that bolstering the offense should be the Bills priority. You can't force it when trying to add a more dynamic RB or TE. If they aren't there......they aren't there. It wasn't there when KC drafted CEHelaire and they ended up using a premium pick on a modest talent. This offseason the Chiefs are doing what you are talking about, but doing it the right way. They are putting the money in the OL. That's where the Bills can find the most value as well. The more time that Josh Allen has to throw the ball the more dangerous all of his current weapons become. With better run blocking and scheme specific RB's you can be dynamic on the ground without a 1st round RB. Edited April 24, 2021 by BADOLBILZ 4
BADOLBILZ Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 5 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Yea... the closer we get to draft day the more I want the Bills to go WR or OL in round 1. Yeah how many times have we found out that strengths can become weaknesses very quick? Trying to balance out the roster usually just leaves you watered down. Not first addressing perceived needs doesn't provide the instant gratification that fans want from a draft.........but that's why filling needs is really a free agency thing. The draft has to be about what's in the best interest of the team long term. The organization's #1 job is to make Josh Allen as effective as he can be. Everything else is secondary to their success. 2

Beane has worked the board well himself. Best that we’ve had here in a long time. Even though I’d like to see him do less trading up and either let the draft come to him or trade back. With that said, whether it’s staying put and making their picks count (yes, they have missed like everyone else), acquiring additional picks, or earning comp picks, the Ravens always seem to be doing it right. Well, maybe not always, but frequently.

"If you have more picks, you’re going to hit on more players.”
machine gun kelly Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 You had to expect the Chiefs to do something about their O Line problem. Surprised the Steelers haven’t done more even if they are cap strapped. There are always ways to kick the can down the road. The Saints have pulled that off forever. I think they have it finally coming to bite them and Mr. Rooney knows enough not to take on that strategy. The Hunt family is in for a problem a few years from now. They are fine for now, but you can’t do this forever. Its one if 5e reasons I like Beane’s approach. He seems to know how to win now and later. He has me very intrigued as to what he’ll do next week. My best guess is still a CB, and the dark horse would be Ettiene. The Edge Rusher candidates don’t impress many. I don’t believe any of these tell the truth, but if his truth is meant to be a lie (I know that sounds silly) then maybe he really is targeting Ettiene.
