Chiefs lost Mathieu.   Their secondary got beat up and was really depleted late.    So I wouldn't say that I'd trade those benefits for Tre White being back.........Allen really exploited those.  

 

The Chiefs also missed 2 easy kicks in the first half.

 

Bills were fortunate to get back in it late.........we shouldn't pretend like they had the game in the bag for 59:47..........there was a good deal of luck in the rope-a-dope approach on defense nearly getting them out of Arrowhead with a W.

 

I would have gladly stole a SB from them this year and relished it but they were still the slightly better team..........their playmakers had massive impact for Mahomes both on the stat sheet and how they affected the Bills D plan just by their presence on the field.     

They did…..but if we subbed Tre for Dane, I think we win the game.

Skyy Moore - WR - W. Michigan

5'10" 195 ... 4.24 40 yard dash time

Probably will go in the 2nd round but love his speed and can fill in for McKittrick and Beasley.

 

In the 1st --- Trent McDuffie - CB - Washington

Wallace will likely get paid by someone else so I'm guessing we'll need an upgrade there anyway.

 

Too soon to tell at this point until after FA.

Thank you. This is like talking about getting a puppy on the drive home after having to put your 15 year old lab down.

Too soon. 
Just need a couple days. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Too soon. There are far too many directions this team can go in free agency to think of what they may do in the draft.

Thank you for this.

 

Many disagree (and I'm not sure why) but I think that Allen is so flat out great that he makes most of the offensive players around him look much better than they would with a human quarterback. The man is a generational talent who needs more weapons and better protection. At this point I think that he has at least as much a talent as John Elway and even more raw ability that Trevor Lawrence. Seriously.  Why consider anything else in the early rounds after the resources that we have recently devoted to the defense?

If I was Josh Allen and they drafted a first round corner I would be furious and feel alienated.

 

 

This. This. This!!!

 

We need to stop looking at these types of games as the need to draft more defense. It’s a joke. Allen is our greatest strength and we need to support our greatest strength. If this defense doesn’t have all it needs after all the top picks poured into it, then someone else should be making the picks. 
 

Allen is the only first round pick on offense in the McD era (unless you wanna include the Diggs trade). It’s so lopsided it’s not even funny. What do teams do when they draft qbs?  They get him weapons. What did we do in 2018?  We traded up for an underachieving linebacker and followed that up with two more defensive players. I don’t know…I just feel Allen deserves the type of talent around him that guys like burrow, Dak, and Justin Herbert have. We owe him that…especially after last night. 

[BuffaloBillsGospel]

I think OL or DB will most likely be in the BPA category at the bottom of round 1. Continue to build the DL with a veteran or 2 while the young bucks progress!

[Nextmanup]

Making Josh Allen the best he can be, consistently, should be the top concern this off-season.

 

It should also be the second, third, fourth, and fifth! 

 

The way you make Josh consistently better is with a MUCH improved offensive line and more weapons on offense.

A speed burner WR would be interesting; a better RB would be nice, and an elite TE if Knox isn't the guy already.

 

I would put all resources in those directions.

 

Look at last night's game!  You think you are going to beat Mahomes with another CB or DT? 

 

You beat that guy by throwing obscene amounts of points on the board!  That's it! 

 

We threw 36 on him and it WAS NOT ENOUGH!

Please no CB or DE. Draft the best LB, if you have to trade up do it.  Need a playmaking LB that can diagnose and react

How many draft assets does a defensive-minded coach need to run his defense?  When are they going to strategically focus on protecting their $250M investment by surrounding him with enough talent that he doesn’t have to win games himself?  Not denying CB2 is a need but my gosh they’ve spent a lot on that side…

I agree. I also think the way to beat KC is to win more games than them and then force them to play in our house when the playoffs come. It seems some want more on offense to send it into the stratosphere. Looking back on the season, I keep coming back to the team's inability to stop the run. KC put up over 140yds running last night. NE beat us by running. Colts beat us by running and being multi dimensional. And anyone who watched that Tenn game could see that the D needed 3 guys to tackle Henry. The D needs some run stuffing muscle. It also needs to be better at diagnosing plays (Is it a run or a pass?) On offense keeping Josh upright is paramount and this offense clearly isn't itself if it can't run the ball. Josh's needs trump the needs of the defense, but man it's a close second place. Now how can we solve both problems in the off season?

We start 2 lbs and they are both signed next year.

I will light this ***** on fire if we draft a friggin linebacker in the 1st Round.  
 

You watched that game last night and decided we need Nick Bolton?  He clearly made a big difference last night over on the KC defense…

 

A) Jameson Williams 

 

B) Kaiir Elam

 

C) Trent McDuffie

A WR or CB would not have helped last night.  A LB would have

An elite CB would absolutely have helped. The Bills had no passes defensed on 44 throws.

[Simon]

I hate drafting for need but the Bills are badly in need of quality OTs.

I probably find a way to take the best Offensive Tackle I can get my hands on and then kick Spencer Brown inside.

Serious question I'm working through:

 

Is it really defense we need to be focusing on? KC (mahomes) is one of the least sacked QBs in the league. The job of the D is to take Hill away and make sure Kelce doesn't kill you. There is only so much coverage time you can expect your DBs and LBs to maintain their coverage. I'm not sure better DBs or even a Buce Smith change the equation too much.

 

It almost feels like you need to double down on the offense (better OL and keep a wide variety of pass catchers to spread the ball all over the place and add speed there). It just feels like you need to score every time, perhaps our D is just good enough?

I think if White was there, we win the game. I don't think a lot of focus needs to be put on D, however, I do think we need a 1b CB and DT1. Other than those two positions, I think our resources should be focused on offense.

We scored on 5 out of 9 drives. KC scored on 7 of 10 drives.

 

You can argue that either way, maybe we need a better defense or better offense. Might as well go BPA within reason.

Trey McBride TE Colorado State

We are trying to stop KC with a 7th round guy and an undrafted free agent 

 

Give me a guy with elite size and speed

I trust McD with defensive backs. Let’s see what he does with a corvette.
