I’m not complaining. I’m just a little freaked out that everyone is fixated on the Chiefs when it could very well be the Titans, who could totally rag-doll us physically.

I see you governor... Titans are just bigger and stronger at every position... even head coach.  If they fix their secondary it’s not a good match up

I wonder if they are souring on Oliver and/or Epenesa. Still early for both. Interesting pick taking another dline man.

 

I wanted Creed Humphrey there.

I know. So did I. But this guy looks good and the Bills need a better pass rush. Sucks that KC got him. Watched All the Oklahoma games and creed is a gamer. Solid

Okay so here’s our DL as of now: 

 

we got Efa and we got Epy, we got Eddy and we got Rous. We got a star, and we got some boogie. There’s a Harry and Jerry and don’t forget Mario!

 

There’s a lot to work with there, but I don’t have the mental energy to get this more organized. Some great nicknames though. 

 

Go with a Dr Seuss line and get the Zim zam Bam.

Don’t sleep on Dane 

Or signing an FA after the draft. Couple vets still out there.

Our D-line on third down will just be 4 DEs. 😂

Rosseau plays inside and outside.

That last bit is terribly overstated by you 

I’m not making a commentary on the 2 guys we picked this year. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. I heard a lot of people mentioning basham in round 1 so I have to believe it’s a good thing we got him in the 2nd. I know very little about these guys....it’s more about the recent history. The last few years we have missed badly on the DLine. I also feel like the qbs get the ball out to fast. There’s no reason to waste premium assets on pass rushers. Even the best pass rushers barely get there. Might as well sure up the coverage or interior run defense.

He's #2 on the Freaks of the Draft list.

getting to the qb never works

 

 

 

 

Hopefully these guys can do it. Recent history would suggest the bills FO doesn’t identify those players in the draft.

No way!  He’s our best pass rusher. What team have you been watching? But he is at the end of his career do hood move to draft his replacement after this year or next 

Hughes is replaceable. And with a Josh Extension writing on wall. If you can get assets this double dip allows that.

I have issues with the pick ... but Basham was arguably the best player on the board regardless of position. He was my guess for who the bills would pick  at 30.

 

If this is true, you can't have issues with the pick for value reasons alone. Big Baller Beane saw an issue and is making damn sure he fixes it. Love it.

I think they keep both Hughes and Addison to mentor. 

or because they are still the best players at their position. Not going to pay $10 million to mentor.

If you think of Ed Oliver as a miss you are just being silly.

Can't see that happening to be honest...

 

The numbers don't work. And Bam is one of their core ST's players...

[YoloinOhio]

 

[whatdrought]

Here’s my way of accepting this: 

 

Would I trade a late first and two low seconds for an elite pass rusher? In a heart beat. We have 3 chances for one of these guys to become that, and maybe all three become something....

 

 

^ that logic helps a whole lot.

I mean, you saw how they man-handled us last year. 
 

I feel we’re a bit undersized.

I didn’t look into him too much. What do you like about him?
 

I wanted Rousseau for months then everyone said he was gonna fall suddenly. 

And I wanted Boogie way back in Dec. This is a brilliant strategy by McD to bring in 3 young pass rushers.

[BillsFan3434]

Trade jerry for an asset while he's still worth something
