I have an reaaaaalllly gooooooood investment opportunity for you. Wanna sign on the dotted line yet? Yeah there's way too much smoke about the Bills wanting a RB in the 1st round for me to believe it. McDermott saying he would add Thurman Thomas to the team of any past Bill. Beane saying they’ve had 1st round grades on RBs and that Christian McCaffrey was a "sleep good at night pick" when he was at Carolina. And now two years in a row we're connected to a RB at the bottom of the 1st by NFL media guys. It seems planned. Make sure teams drafting beneath us don't try to trade up to draft the player we really want. 1

If manage keeps saying they want a Thurman Thomas, and we keep trying to trade for RBs or pick them up in FA or draft them, we are bound to actually draft a RB. Now we hear people saying the Bills are smitten with Hall. At this point, I would be shocked if we didn’t draft Breece Hall. I guess we just have to wait and see.
716er Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Stay away. Lots of solid reasons mentioned but not sure I have seen this one yet - That lady would have to give up her Dahlingletary jersey Don't want that

Are we just that delusional to think that NFL GMs don’t put out false information? Or are others delusional to think that every rumor we hear is legit and there are no such things as smoke screens?

They're looking for any tiny advantage they can get. I agree with you, I don't think teams really make decisions based on rumors. But if teams think other teams do then they will put those rumors out there. 2

I gotta think actual FO's get a chuckle out of how much people breakdown their every word this time of year and if its a "smokescreen" 1

Overused and ridiculous means smoke screens don’t exist? Got it. Beane has been mentioned as one of the more secretive GMs in the league. His intentions are rarely EVER leaked. Boom, von Miller is a bill. There was no smoke for any of the FAs the bills signed. All out of nowhere. But I’m sure that he decided to let the cat out of the bag before the draft. Doesn’t make sense to me.

The same people have us taking Hall. Even Buscagalia has us taking Hall. He is pretty plugged to this team.

Von Miller was an out of the blue shock, meanwhile all the rumors tied the Bills to Chandler Jones. Rodger Saffold was in our building getting his physical done and still no one knew about that signing until the Bills announced it. So color me skeptical when the exact same rumor ("the Bills covet a speedy RB at the bottom of the 1st round") gets put out there in two consecutive draft cycles. Why is this regime airtight on everything except their love of a 1st round RB? 1

You seem a bit obsessed with the guy.. I dont see the same buzz about him as the two that got picked in the first round last year... Have to wait and see who is still there when they pick...
