Stecher is a UFA now and going to be 30.

Tanev has one year left on his deal.

Andersson is good, cheap, an RHD and young.

Can't imagine a reason why they'd trade him without it being a massive overpay.

Speaking of, if you're willing to trade Savoie and the 23 1st, aim higher in terms of the player.

Think Pettersson, for example.

You have been on the Pettersson train for a bit, you hearing something there 39 ?

A LOT of Bills fans wanted Rosen in 2018. Many proclaimed him to be: "the next Aaron Rodgers."
- RichardRoma


Rosen was the most NFL ready QB. Him and darnold …. At the draft -> according to manly draft guys

Josh Allen was considered the biggest question mark. Highest upside but lower floor.

What Allen has done is remarkable and had very very low% odds of working out this well.

A 50% completion % from high school into college and into the NFL into what he is now is astonishing.

My friends still give me a hard time about not wanting Allen. But the fact still remains that the hills got very very very lucky on Allen

He isn’t worth that much. Wait for a late round pick or until he’s cut after the draft and get him for free.

I was right there with them, as were 99% of the Analysts. He has made us all eat a ton of crow, and I couldn't be happier.

You were definitely 100% wrong in regards to allen.

Beane is a top 5 drafting gm.

How about tre white
matt milano in the 5th.
Gabe davis in the 4th
Dawson knox....
Deon dawkins....

Average 😀

Yep, everyone has there hits and misses. Let's see what he's made of now with the Cap getting tighter. His drafting will be under a microscope even more.

If he misses on this draft, he needs to be fired

Like I posted earlier. The odds Allen would do what he has done is very very low. The Bills got lucky.

For every josh allen there are 10 -20++ other examples of the same type of QB not working out

Heard an interesting stat today.

No coach/QB combo has won a superbowl if they haven’t done so within the first five years together.

Here is to hoping McD/Allen can be the first.

Yeap.

At the end of the day, If Allen would have failed, Beane and McD are not here.

Luckily he didn’t.

Beane and McD need to make it happen now.

Now do the misses. I know watching Don Lemming continually getting beaten down has taken a toll on you. Look at both sides.

I would to, especially if they eat a bit of the contract. Then get your LB, OL in the 2nd. Maybe even Musgrave if he's sitting there.

He's a DE/OLB prospect from Iowa State. Had 5 sacks last year, 11.5 in 2021 and 10.5 in 2020. He's projected to go late in the 1st or very early in the 2nd.
