Teams Buffalo Bills - The Stampede

[SHAKESPEARE]

Word on the street is that we are playing AT Jets and Giants in first two weeks.

If this is the case, wowee. I'll have 2 weeks in NYC with a sprinkle of METS games thrown in too!!!

That’s great luck for you! And good for us as you’re a good luck charm

First half will be make or break.
5/8 at home including a 3 game run after bye in week 6. And a home game against NE.

Back half could be rough. Can’t get off to a slow start.

My old lady wants to do a NY trip with me, so she's keen as mustard. Missus is sick of it, but I can't wait.

Locked on podcast think Oliver may go as high as #3 so we are unlikely to get him.

 

[samFFC]

Also we sign Yeldon. Would think this makes RB in first few rounds very unlikely ( which is good ), and this may be our RB1. Not been convinced on McCoy or Ivory, the prev. back-up options (Murphy etc.), and also Gore. At least makes the old boys fight for it.

 

[Swan4Life]

Hoping for Oliver, but trust Beanes judgment if its not.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

OLIVER IS ON THE BOARD!

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

DO NOT * THIS UP BUFFALO

 

[Swan4Life]

Thanks Gettleman!!

 

[samFFC]

Oliver yes yes yes yes!!!!

 

[samFFC]

DK and Taylor still on board - trade up?

Also Smith, Williams and a few other nice ones who may be there at 40.

 

[samFFC]

Hope DK doesn’t go to Brady...

 

[Santoz]

Who do we target tomorrow? Trade up for Metcalf perhaps?

Lots of good options

Metcalf definitelt one of them.
I think we are a perfect place to take a 2nd round punt on a potentially special WR who may be a bust.
Has some support weapons around, has a young QB not afraid to hurl long, has a strong HC/OC to keep on track etc.
surprised NE didn’t take him to be honest.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

I feel this is the year. Our year

DK cannot run tree routes and has an injury history. But he is an excellent straight line deep threat and red zone target - which explains why he is still available. He would have been a bad choice at 9 but even at 40 I'm still torn on him.

Agree strongly with your other choices. Tight end Irv Smith, OT Jawaan Taylor or one of the DE's might make more sense at 40. Then we need to see who is left on the board at 74.

Looking forward to tomorrow morning.

Not biased but that’s complete garbage.

1. We do have a need at DT. The Phillips’ are not starters. Williams is still a major loss we haven’t fixed.

2. He was BPA, and was mocked as high as #3 in recent weeks.

3. They ranked Giants pick a C+ and are praising teams for being sensible Eg Bosa, Quinnen Williams etc.. those are good picks but easy to make.

Dumb.

SI should stick to rating swimsuit models and leave the NFL draft to the professionals.

Draft ratings are about as useful as preseason picks
Just people creating content to then create more content off

 

[Swan4Life]

I also reckon we just stay at 40, no need to trade up as there are plenty of good players available.

Either way we will likely be cutting a few of our picks to get to 53 so wouldn’t mind losing 1-2 of them to get someone we want, if there is.
Otherwise I agree we sitting pretty.
