Bye Jerry?

 

Definitely message sent to our current DEs.

 

Still need DB, G/C, NT, TE...

Danny Kelly at the Ringer had him #30, ahead of a lot of good names:

I love this pick. Basham is a disruptor and seems to be all over the field!

Beane really is great at what he does. Pass Rushers are always going to be a premium position in FA, and with the contract Josh has coming to him very soon, this is the best way to address it for the immediate future.  Also, they are signing and drafting guys with versatility to play any position along D-Line. AJ, Rousseau, Basham, Obada, and Oliver... 

 

Why would they draft offense? They went 13-3, punted the least of any team in the league, where as on the other side of the ball the one problem area was consistently generating pressure on the opposing QB.  

 

If Beane can put together a top 10 pass rush through the draft while paying Josh, Diggs and other crucial extensions as he managed this offseason, it's just a matter of when, not if they win a Superbowl.

Let's get a CB2 also, to help with coverage sacks.

In not understanding wasting all of these early picks (the last few years) on the DLine. All I know is eventually some of them better be good. It wouldn’t aggravate me as much if any of these guys were actually good. Eponessa, Oliver, Harry....these guys have been underwhelming at best. The new nfl is getting the ball out quick. It’s almost impossible to get homes I’d suggest a DE has never been more worthless....I really hope at least one of these guys ends up being good.

This same group will be harassing Tua, Wilson and Jones in the division!  

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.

But what if it isn’t KC?

 

It doesn't have to be.  Very few QBs handle overwhelming pressure well,  especially up the middle.

I guess they think they’re a few pass rushers away….hard to argue. Maybe a Ertz signing and a late RB….and let’s roll!!!

 

Maybe a Late slot-wr

 

WHAT! We’re signing Ertz? It’s done? Boom!

This makes absolutely no sense.  Even once Addison and Hughes are gone, you still have 3 DE's in two years.  I mean, what's the plan here?

 

I'm sorry, but I don't like this at all

I don't think you got the memo. Beane is perfect and not to be questioned on TBD.

[Coach Tuesday]

Do they move him inside?  He’s Oliver‘s alternate?

The Bills didn't want to go into next year STILL needing more edge rush help.

They wanted to be ready to roll on opening day 2022 with a quartet of young, ready pass rushers. They recognize that you have to harass Mahomes or you're never beating him. 

These youngsters get the tutelage under Hughes for a year and rotate in and learn on the job. 

And as others have said: You want to improve cornerback performance? HARASS THE QUARTERBACK!!!

Also, the draft isn't over, and there are some veteran corners still on the market. 

 

Melifonwu might drop to within reach of our 3rd pick. Also, BSJ, and Paul’s Son

 

Also, % chance Richard Sherman is a Bill by Sunday?

 

 

im coming around on the pick. I have long been an advocate for teams not f-ing around about fixing issue positions. It’s a harder pill to swallow when it’s your team.

Possibly. Bills have some edge players that can rush from 3 tech. But maybe they keep 1 less somewhere else. 

 

Addison could be cut post June 1st. 

would've been nice to see more pressure last year

Darryl Johnson was just spotted heading to the outlet mall to be first in line at the Samsonite store tomorrow morning.

I was rooting for that kid but I think that is likely.

Like Rousseau, he's a great kid.  More polished at this point than Rousseau

Now if we can get Bobby Brown III in the 3rd-5th range?........ God help the rest of the NFL. 

Bobby Brown or Shelvin please.

Major influx of Youth and talent at DE with the early double dip. This put Addison Gone. And maybe even a Harrison Phillips on notice with Rousseau moving inside on passing downs. 
 

this will allow a youth movement in a position group that needed it. I also think the double dip (after signing in the position in UFA) puts Hughes on the Block. 

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

Beane with the Big Johnson smoke screen last night. 

[Royale with Cheese]

There’s going to be some serious competition on the DL.
