HappyDays Posted March 13 Posted March 13 5 hours ago, Low Positive said: It's part of a larger problem in that it's indicative of a team whose primary motivation is not winning football games. Yeah they should have traded Garrett for multiple 1sts and 2nds. They are being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. Their window is at least 3 years away, by the time they get there Garrett might not be the same player. They could have jump started their rebuild but Jimmy Haslam probably thought it would make him look weak in the eyes of the media so he had to draw his little line in the sand. Not surprising behavior from a guy that makes QB decisions based on what random homeless people suggest. 1 Quote

I just finished watching Xavier blow a 14 point lead and get bumped by Marquette in the BE tournament. The weather helps my spirits. I need it. I have no idea what will happen with Hendrickson. They won’t/can’t pay him. I just hope he lands outside of the AFC contenders. Quote

I guess my point is that unlike some other positions, you can actually find diamonds in the rough at EDGE in the draft more than people think. There are some other positions where it’s a lot harder and you almost have to use a top-10 pick (like QB and maybe CB), but I think DE is becoming more amenable to later round talent. Guys like Crosby and Hendrickson are good examples, because scouts saw their potential, but they were a little raw and were from small schools and so were drafted a little lower. (I actually think Solomon could fit that same mould, and may end up being a real stud). Agree on Solomon, he could make decent jump this year.. Sure you can find a diamond in the rough, but expecting him to have even 4 sacks as a rookie is expecting alot. Bruce Smith only had 6 sacks his first year. This isn't in any way a knock on Beane, but assuming that diamond is out there, what makes you think the other 29 guys picking prior aren't going to find him first? There's alot of posters saying we should sign Cooper Kupp or some other WR or we should have traded for Metcaff, to me that would be a waste of money. Normally I'm not one to take a big risk but if they could improve the pass rush significantly for 2025, could mean a SB, where as the odds of a rookie in 2025 making even close to a difference is much lower IMO. For those reasons I'd go for. I doubt it will happen, but you never know. No one expected Miller signing either. 1 Quote

colin Posted March 16 Posted March 16 given who we signed, taht there are some primo 1 tech in the draft, and our secondary needs i think there is a really really low shot we trade for this guy now. i suppose aj could get cut and they ship in hendrickson, but i just don't think they put that much more into the DL right now, especially since he will want a new contract. i think of we make a splash move, it's for the best CB available, and we still draft at least one more. if we hit on a real 1 tech, and maybe a 3 tech in the draft (to back up oliver) we are adequate in the front 6 w 3 guys who are signed who can play LB, 3 average to potentially all pro DEs in aj, groot, and bosa, and then the other two guys we signed plus those picks. we play w 5 or 6 dbs like 80% of the time. t johnson is getting old and is often banged up, benford has been hurt some, we seem to have filled up the safety room, but we need at least two more corners on the team just to have a roster. that would be the max value add position to me at this point.

ganesh Posted March 16 Posted March 16 If we are going to extend Benford then they will not sign another big FA for CB2. That is just how the cap works for Buffalo. the bills need the 1st or 2nd round pick for a CB in the draft. they will have to find the right picks for Hendrickson. And probably trade AJ. and the. There is the contract for Cook …. Quote

Big Blitz Posted March 16 Posted March 16 This is just ridiculous. They would NEVER trade him to Buffalo - or KC or Baltimore or the Texans or any threat in the AFC. DE sweepstakes is over for this year. And so far we extended Groot, got Bosa, Hoecht, and a draft still to go. Not bad. Could be the best Dline outside of the first 9 Von games we’ve had under McD. DT is priority 1 at the draft. 1 Quote
