    Re: Draft 2023 Buffalo Bills

    Considering how some of the players have turned out over the last three to four seasons I'd rather go with the grading some amateur mock drafters have over whatever the Bills' board looks like.

          A agree with this. I think who they draft and when depends on what happens in FA. Who we sign and who we loose all goes into the draft. We have a lot of needs and getting more picks would be a good thing.

            Beane has always signed enough free agents to give him flexibility in the draft, we'll see if he can do it again this year.

              The problem this year is he’s up against the cap more than ever before.

                Very true .... one of the 1st moves might be?

                  I might look at tradable commodities maybe like Oliver, Dawkins, and/or Hines and get their salaries off the books while collecting more draft picks. I look at Edmunds numbers in all five years, they are close, I think he’s replaceable. That 17-20 million could go a LONG way fixing our O-line.

                    A possible route we could take.

                      I don't think you can let Edmunds walk and get nothing in return. You either sign him long term which I think makes sense given his age and the fact that he continues to improve or if you feel the numbers won't work you franchise him and make a trade. Once a franchise player is traded that tag money goes off our cap. With only 6 draft picks opening up another hole on the team is hard to justify unless you can find a cheaper replacement.

                      Not the same situation because Ed Oliver still has a year to go but I would see what the market might be for him. He's a good player but I think I'd be looking to get bigger at DT. He has a 10m cap hit.

                      A lot of decisions for Mr. Beane.

                        I think it’s a good idea the only problem I see is if we don’t get the right return for Edmunds it’s a huge cap hit.

                          Staying pat seems to be the right move, although a trade down a few spots wouldn't be awful either if we can pick up a mid round pick out or a future 1 or 2 out of the deal.

                          Trading up, I would say, is probably not something they're even considering with where the salary cap situation is at.

                            Franchise tag might be the way to go, but then you are committing to $20,926,000 to cap space if Edmunds signs it and Beane can't find a trade partner. Smart, but very risky.

                              I think I read that somewhere before.
