The season is longer than ever, and they will need a fresh wave of players later in the season. Quote

I will be shocked if they don't draft at least 3 defensive lineman and 3 defensive backs. It would be irresponsible by Beane considering that's where the talent is The dline in particular has to be overhauled Edited March 14 by Kelly to Allen Quote
Logic Posted March 14 Posted March 14 3 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Ok but at some point he has to get his act together during The Window. Last year’s draft was a critical draft for him given all of the vet departures and his first three picks did not make serious contributions during the season (Keon was ok until the injury). This offseason they have some cap space to use and spaces to fill but so the overall haul has been expensive and underwhelming. He needs to stop treading water and start taking bigger swings to maximize Allen. As to the first bolded: The Bills have the second most wins in the NFL since 2020, have won six straight division titles, and are coming off an AFCCG in which his team was one drive away from going to the Super Bowl. One can easily argue that were it not for McDermott coaching blunders, the Bills would've made a Super Bowl or two by now. I think the best way to judge a GM is by looking at the team he's assembled, and that team has been the second best team in football for the past five years. As for "taking bigger swings", the man has traded multiple picks (including a 1st) for Stefon Diggs, signed Von Miller to a mega contract, and this season signed five time Pro Bowler Joey Bosa. I just think "get his act together" ignores that "his act" has had the Bills in the playoffs and realistically contending for a championship every single year, and that "he needs to start taking bigger swings" ignores that he HAS taken some big swings, and they just haven't worked out as we all hoped. 3 2 Quote
NoSaint Posted March 14 Posted March 14 On the bright side we also probably wanted bosa on a pitch count early too Lots of reps for the depth guys 1 Quote

I can't fault him for signing a guy who had a sterling record to this point and wasn't aware that it was coming. It's definitely unfortunate given that the DT market is barren at this point. A 5th round pick can probably get a decent DT in a trade. We should be exploring it 1 Quote
QLBillsFan Posted March 14 Posted March 14 The goal is to start 1-5 and keep guys fresh 🤷🏻♂️.. just a different approach 😎 2 Quote

Mr. WEO Posted March 14 Posted March 14 4 minutes ago, Logic said: You clearly didn't listen to Brandon Beane's press conference or read any summaries of it. He said that Hoecht TOLD the Bills about his upcoming suspension. The Bills were fully aware of it and decided to sign him anyway. He said that Ogunjobi's suspension news didn't come in until during/after the contract signing process, at which point he told the team immediately. So they DID know about Hoecht. And they COULDN'T have known about Ogunjobi because it hadn't yet happened. He was a Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee just last year and has a spotless NFL resume with no previous suspensions. What exactly was a "PI" supposed to uncover about such a player? If you disagree with the decisions to go ahead with signing these guys after learning of the pending suspensions, then fine. But saying "he didn't check this out with the league" or talking about hiring PIs shows me that you're reacting without even having watched/listened to/read what Beane had to say about the situation. Wow! A Walter Payton finalist!!! That’s an agent/player marketing thing. Go to hospitals, hand out balls and sneakers at the Boys and Girls club. Has nothing to do with PED tendencies. anyway.. if you sign one juicer, don’t you ask the next one or his agent or the nfl: “hey is there a PED result pending on this guy?” why on earth would you rely on the honesty of a player with millions of dollars dangled in front of him?? it’s stunning 1 Quote
Saint Doug Posted March 14 Posted March 14 This will fit into the comp pick formula rather well. Quote
