Re: Pressure on the draft builds

Moving down would be dumb when you have 10 picks. There's no way more than 2-3 rookies will be in the starting lineup. If there is we won't have aa winning season. And you know how McD doesn't like using rookies right away.

2 to 3 starters is a lot by McDermott standards (the process horse****) ..... he's gotta get more out there and find out what we have .... JMO.

Re: Pressure on the draft builds

With half the teams in the league over the cap dumping salaries, might it be time to expand the draft by a couple rounds?

Or, I don't know, come up with some kind of better cap system?

Like say, the players you draft only count 50% towards the cap?

Have a max salary?

It's getting absolutely stupid when QBs are making 40 million a year, but running backs are making less than a 10th of that.

It's also absolutely stupid that a guy like Brock Purdy takes his team to the superbowl, but is making less than most punters

10 rounds does not sound bad .... the nature of game and it's history for injury is another.

I love football but I wish we could shorten the regular season to 15 games as well.

Agree with this one ..... maybe the QB salaries should only count 50% AGAINST the cap or just lower them ..... collude if you must

Yep. Spot on!!!

There is NO WAY the Bills draft 11 players. There is little doubt that Beane purposely hoarded draft picks as trade currency.

The list of picks for the Bills is now final...

1st - 28
2nd - 60
3rd - none
4th - 127
4th - 133 (compensatory)
5th - 143 (from Chi)
5th - 159 (from GB)
5th - 162
6th - 188 (from LAR)
6th - 199 (from DAL)
6th - 203
7th - 248

Can Beane be contemplating trading up to grab a WR like Brian Thomas??? I sure hope so.

Re: Pressure on the draft builds

If you look at Diggs contract he's going to be here this year but probably not next. It's difficult to find a #1 receiver at the end of the 1st round usually (plenty of exceptions I know) but if there was ever a year this might be it with the depth of the talent at WR in this year's draft. Decent possibility a really good WR is there at 28, especially if 5-6 QB's are taken in the 1st.

I'm bringing 6 blues.

One just doesn't seem to be enough anymore.

Re: Pressure on the draft builds

A couple teams have multiple picks in the second round. If there isn’t a player that the Bills love, I propose something like this.
Offer Washington our 28, 128, 134, and 144 pick.
In return the Bills get their 36 & 67 picks.
That give us 2 2nds and a 3rd.
They could definitely get a DT, S, DE or a couple of these positions or maybe a C!

Carolina has multiple 2nds as well.
