Any word on his contract?

If it is more than what Singletary signed for, then it is a bad tradeoff.

There will be your first three picks, almost certainly.  Order will depend on their big board,  but it will be WR, MLB, and swing tackle. 

 

Bills lead the league in taking the best player available at a position of defense.  It could well go down that way after the CB, RB, LB sequence last year.

What exactly are his health issues, his health history?

 

I'd imagine he's pretty stoic about that.

I like power backs so I'm happy. I don't think he's our RB1, but he provides a dimension this team has been lacking. Don't need Josh to put his life on the line in short yardage situations now.

This is exactly what they are doing. Sad.

I can see a LB at #27 but the OL needs some depth and another WR that could push Davis isn't out of the question.  Possibly some safety depth as well.

Not a coincidence that this news hits within 1 hour of the Singletary signing. Beane is watching the comp pick formula!

Who did Singletary sign with?

Please get a WR2 by the time the draft ends.. because I really want to give Beane credit for upgrading Singletary, McKenzie and Kumerow’s spots on the roster. 
 

Love the signings today. 

 

I'm thinking that Sherfield is #2.  They already have Shakir and signed Harty to play the slot.

4 games played against the Bills...3 games over 100 yards and 5 TDs. That's pretty good. Averages 6.4 YPC against us.

 

That's a move Belicheat would make.  Sign a guy from another team who has hurt you in the past.

We've reached the point where 40% of posters instinctively view every Beane move from a negative perspective. 

 

It's not even 40% of posters. It's 10 posters making 40% of the posts here, crying at every chance they get.

I keep telling everyone. Round 1 safety! 

I’m thinking DL is on the table. I really wanted offense in the 1st 2 rounds. Protect Josh and give him weapons

Last time the Pats beat us Damien had 103 yards and 3 touchdowns. He had 15 touchdowns in 2021.

 

If he’s healthy he can be tough to stop, a perfect complement to Cook.

 

People seem to not remember how hard he crushed us on the ground in that game. He's a beast. Extremely powerful runner. 

 

There's a reason he was considered one of the top RB's available in FA. Definitely more than "just a guy". And the perfect compliment to James Cook and Nyheim Hines.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

The Sherfield, Harris, McGovern and Harty (even Boettger) signings are on-brand for the Bills. 

 

Modest, veteran players, and this time the Bills prioritized guys who were younger, not guys at the end Saffold, Sanders, Frank Gore, Star L, Addison. 
 

And Beane tends to sign someone to help the room on both sides of the ball, instead of loading up on one side. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

***** yes!!! Love it

MLB.  Specifically Campbell.  I don't see value at WR or OL at that spot.  Then RT in the 2nd.  That's my guess.

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

I’m happy with this. My friend says Harris was  hurt a lot last year but when healthy is a beast.

Captain Jack Campbell (LB) would be drafted prior to any S in round one.

 

Not that I have a round one grade on him. (I don't)

[GETTOTHE50]

love it.

You might be right. Campbell feels like a reach there to me. I understand it though. He will play lots of snaps and the scheme doesn’t need to change drastically.

Im still going to hope we make a final legit addition to the WR room and add some OL help, BUT….

 

McGovern >>> Saffold

 

Harty >>> McKenzie

 

Sherfield >>> Kumerow

 

Harris >>> Singletary

 

Retained Poyer

 

So far we’ve lost Edmunds but have gotten better at LG, WR, WR and RB. 
 

Beane is doing a good job and these signings all make sense … no random players who we have to wonder how they fit or what they do well … Speed, Athleticism & Power.   So far, so good…
