So we obviously lost 2 great players now the question is will we stand pat or will we be aggressive and make moves to still have an opportunity to win...

Beane needs to bring in another big play maker,  your not replacing 3 top play makers with practice squad guys or street guys. After seeing all the busts picks Beanne has made like Cody Ford/ Basham and not it appears Elam he should just use a 1st & 3rd to get someone who can make plays or it will be tough to make a deep run.

Not exactly. The Bills have Daddy Warbucks for an owner. Redo a couple contracts to create room. They need a solution at CB as the likelihood of Tre returning to form post Achilles is slim. Surtain would be a worthwhile addition, not a rental. 

As well think Allen will take team friendly deals.  He certainly gets lot of press as Bills QB1.  He's making some nice pocket change in his endorsement deals he can make sure he reworks deals for his guys.

I would sign Anthony Barr.

He could give Josh the opportunity in practice to hone his skill at vaulting over linebackers.

Need to stack as many Elam's and Boogie Basham's on the roster as possible baby

Oh good more Elams, great idea to load up fourth rounders drafted in the first round. We cannot overcome drafting failures.

Every year we talk about it and every year we do nothing important. I wouldn’t waste another minute, I’d call Denver tonight and say name your price for Surtain…we won’t do anything though and it’s a waste of a thread unfortunately 

The interception he made on Garrett Wilson was Tre White like

Vikings are officially done with Jefferson on IR. How much would Harrison Phillips cost?

WR Courtland Sutton

OL Garrett Bolles

WR Jerry Jeudy

S Justin Simmons

DT D.J. Jones

DE Frank Clark

CB Patrick Surtain

[BBFL]

For those who are in the “let’s get another WR” camp, how about Mecole Hardman?

Van Jefferson?

 

Both are apparently available.

There’s a few teams that look “done”. Minny, Chicago, Arizona, Giants and Carolina. 

With the current defense situation what about trying to get one of these guys from these teams?

 

AZ:  Antonio Hamilton

CAR: Donte Jackson, Troy Hill, Shy Tuttle

CHI: Eddie Jackson*, Jaylon Johnson

NY: Darnay Holmes, Micah McFadden

MIN: Byron Murphy, Jordon Hicks, Harrison Phillips*
 

(* unlikely to be traded due to role)

I hope we stand pat and don’t trade any 2024 assets. If we could get Calais Campbell for a 2025 7th rounder then awesome but I doubt it will happen.

 

This is rumored to be an unbelievably rich draft class and we should have a plethora of picks to make for the future of our team. Anything more than a 5th rounder for a rental player this year is not worth it unless this player is a guarantee for us winning the Super Bowl 

 

Here are the Bills picks right now for 2024:

 

1st round

2nd

3rd

3rd (compensatory)

4th

5th

6th (Houston)

6th

7th

Because we have a plethora of picks it's a great yr to make a move that will get us the end goal.aif that peraon is available (like a Surtain)..I understand people want to keep building and building but if you can't finish the job what have you really built? Josh Allen is a generational talent you win while you have him.

I'd take Hardman for sure.  He has blazing speed that we don't have.  He's also likely to be motivated after being ignored in NY

Trade a 2025 pick then. No reason to handicap yourself in a loaded draft that can help our team stay a contender after aging players with loaded contracts move on from there time in the NFL. Can’t leave Josh alone on an island and expect him to carry the franchise. It’d be great to have it both ways and I trust Beane to make that kind of heady move to keep us in it now and in the future

9 picks is a lot for this roster when there is a good chance a few of them will end up being cut anyway. I would definitely consider moving some of the later rounds picks to shore up depth.

I get it-- but how long are we doing this slow/smart build. Send it. Lets win one like the Rams did. Suffer the fall out later.

Also, are we really convinced on Beane choosing the right players during the draft? I'd rather get a known commodity than rely on Beane not choosing a Cody Ford or Boogie Basham. Kaiir Elam over Breece Hall.

Boogie Basham, Cody Ford, Tremaine Edmunds, Zach Moss. All players drafted in first 3 rounds that's on other teams rosters

Would be tough. Have to be a decent pick for them to get rid of him as they’re still in the mix for that division, he signed with them this past off season and depth after him is pretty rough. Definitely would be a great addition to our team though as I think he can still produce this year and possibly the next of you retain his services.

https://www.buffalobills.com/news/how-the-bills-plan-to-move-forward-defensively-after-injury-plagued-london-game

 

Quote

With Milano's indefinite absence, the Bills will look to fourth-year LB Tyrel Dodson and rookie Dorian Williams to fill the gap the best they can. Buffalo will internally evaluate both players and then potentially explore outside options if needed.

 

"We'll start inside first and if need be we will go outside. But we will start inside first. That's what we always do," McDermott said.

 

As Buffalo regroups for their first primetime home game of the season (Sunday Night Football vs. the Giants), McDermott and the rest of the defensive staff will monitor the existing injuries and prepare their game plan with that in mind. The goal will be to incorporate the strengths of each player.

 

"I think you always have to be sensitive to the players that you have out there and what they do best and equip them to play at their best, right?," McDermott said. "So you need to be aware of it. I'm very confident in all those players and we'll see how the week unfolds."

Eventually you have to go all in. Von won't be a long-term answer for us. Tre White might never play again. It won't be that long before Diggs is over the hill and Allen is getting into his 30s. The mantra "keep building for the future" doesn't work when the future is now. Most of the other Super Bowl contenders in recent years made a mid-season trade to fill a hole. We now have several holes - WR2, CB, DT, WLB. From left to right those are positions where I would like to see us make a move. Just one is fine. If we stand pat how can we realistically compete with a team like the 49ers?

 

I agree with you.  But the question is: does Beane?

 

The second question is, who would be available, that is a true difference maker?

I smell something big happening with the Bills. Big move coming. They won't sit on this....
