The odds of 3 teams bumping us out of 2nd to 5th is even buffaluck proof.

Hopefully

Funny how we accept that we will be bumped at least 2 spots

Also:

If the Bills move on from Tyrod (they will)

Give me one of the Viking QB's for a year or two until they turn it over to whomever they draft this draft (I want Mayfield)

- Stripes77


Bills might use the 2 1st round picks on o line.
Protect the future qb
I see dt, and cb as proporities.
Rb later.
Maybe another 5th round peterman.

I trust the process for the 1st time since the 90's
This past draft was almost perfect

If they aren't drafting a QB until the 5th round they better have a plan for a QB in Free Agency....

OL, WR, QB, DT, LB

Need to be selected with those first 5 picks and in any order they believe is best

Tre White, Dion Dawkins, Zay Jones, Matt Milano all starting this year. That's excellent. Even Peterman got a start with a healthy TT. That's more than what Mahomes could say.

Have nice depth LB in Vallejo. Maybe he starts in a year or two. For a 6th, that's all you can ask for.

What a great draft. Only question is, maybe we didn't have to trade a bunch of picks to move up a couple times. But, you like to see they didn't pull a Watkins or a Ragland.

Just like he's never wrong

You mean Mitch Marber is not Pat Kane yet? Reggie Ragland didn’t make the Pro Bowl? Hunter Shinkaruk isn’t an all star? The Bills arent in second last place with 2 wins???? I’m confused.

That one's not in the win column yet. Had he made that catch on the deep ball yesterday, the game wouldn't have come to an onside kick

Still starting. He's improved a lot and only will continue to grow. Guarantee he has a nice start to his career with the Bills.

Gotta remember he wasn't a first round pick

WR's take a year or two to fully develop especially ones not drafted in the first round.

He has made a lot of strides as the season goes on. He will be a good WR in the future.

I can't get over the fact that this organization keeps trading up for WR's, to rarely throw them the ball.

where, a few catches in garbage time?


deep ball hit him in the hands yesterday and he dropped it


the only time he looked like a decent wr all year long was the first half vs the chiefs

The Jets game, him and Tyrod were the only ones that showed up to play and if it wasn't for that cheap trip I think he would have been on his way to his first 100 yard receiving game

He's been targeted 70 times, that's not bad in fact that's more than the Rams have thrown to Watkins this year so far

I agree:
I could see them drafting 1 or 2 o line

Wr , but they my sign matthews and extend benjamin

Qb for sure
DT to replace darius and maybe kyle
LB to replace hughes - he's gonna be cut most likely

If tyrod wins the dolphins game and we sneak in the playoffs, I'm not sure they move on from him.

He would be 9-6 as a starter.

Exactly. The "it takes wr's a couple years to develop" cliché that is so over used is more in terms of game speed and route running, not making routine catches. I don't care where you're drafted, that ball has to be caught by any wr in the NFL any year in their development. More years to develop doesn't change that.

Zay Jones has the NCAA record for receptions. You don't get that unless you're thrown to all the time. I'm wondering if he has some focus issues due to the rarity of being thrown to. That there might be a thing, not he needs more time to develop. Fake news. Nice try.

Cousins would want more than a 1-2 year deal. Are you prepared to offer him 4-5 years?
