All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Man, who isn't on the trading block? I love having picks during deep drafts, but this is getting ridiculous. Maybe they're set on replacing Kelsay with Denney and having a rookie like Ayers replace Denney.

if this is true, is there any doubt that we're rebuilding anymore?
Honestly, to me it's not rebuilding if they get rid of Kelsey...it's improving! I'm totally alright with them changing the pieces of this team that has gone 7-9 for the past 3 years.

Haha Op, I didn't really read your thread, but I would hope most people agree with you after the Peters trade. I know we're rebuilding...but if we are, this is the draft to do it in. There's a lot of good prospects coming out.
Maybe you didn't see my thread on Jauron and the FO going in different directions...

here's the problem though. I'm totally fine with them getting rid of Fowler, Preston, Dockery, Royal to improve. Those guys are a big reason why we are stuck at 7-9. But they only replaced one of those three guys.
I'm all for upgrading Kelsay. But my fear is that this FO will trade him for a 6th round draft pick and we'll go into the season even WORSE at DE than we were with Kelsay.

Yeah, I hear ya. This draft is deep though and you have to have faith that Buddy Nix being back will improve their drafting.
Well, If Schobel is healthy, we know he's going to start. The Bills got a decent effort out of Denney at right end when Schobel was out, though Denney is clearly not a RDE and can't really pressure the QB with any regularity. Denny is , however a decent LDE and can play the run. Either Kelsay or Denney is going to be a rotational guy rather than a starter. Buffalo does have Chris Ellis, who may be ready to play this season. If the Bills have any thought of drafting a DE who can get pressure on the QB, whether from the LDE or RDE spot, they really need to open a roster spot. So, do you trade an established veteran, a known quantity though not a very good player, or do you cut a young ploayer you think might have some upside? It makes some sense to me to shop Kelsay. The only question is what can we get for him? A fourth round pick? A third rounder?
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

I think we're looking at no higher than a 6th rounder. He's not that good and the Bills overpaid him, so any trading partner would have to eat his cap hit.
I honestly don't think that Denney is much of a drop off from Kelsay, and I even think he plays the run a little better. But I don't have any faith in Chris Ellis, and trading Kelsay without bringing in another DE kills the rotation.
