Buffalo Bills 2023 Summer - Post-Draft and Pre-Camp Talk

[NotABadPeriod]

There goes all-name team member Juice Scruggs.

 

[SabresFan26]

Wow, Scruggs went in the 2nd round.

This exact thing happens every year - all the guys I target in the middle rounds wind up going on Day 1 and 2

But every mock had him going later than the 5 round.

MLB is a concern, but damn am I glad we got Allen a blue chip weapon and built up the trenches on the o line. Hard to complain about that.

seriously. offense >>>>>> defense in the modern day nfl

this has been the fan narrative, but no one has really seen him play….. so i’m willing to suspend disbelief and consider it just a bunch of noise until rubber really hits the road on his career. trading for a vet is also still an option, let’s not forget

I think vet trade or camp casualty is likely for us.

Mims ahead of Hyatt is interesting.

Broncos going to trade Jeudy now ?

 

[Husko]

This board talked him up to the second

 

[Rowley Birkin]

Torrence has zero potential to play C. So having Bates play there behind Morse (and possibly replacing him in future) might be a shout.

It's mostly the fact that they didn't let him play that's the concern

 

[Reddawg]

There goes all-name team member Juice Scruggs.

Gotta imagine the Jets were targeting him to play with Sauce

 

[Onslow]

I wanted Mauch but Torrance is ok I guess. At least I don’t have to watch f***ing Saffold get whooped up and down the field anymore.

whatever ends up happening, the result is the only thing that matters. i don’t care what happens at mlb as long as its not a glaring weakness in the D. we also signed rapp. he could fill that role for a big chunk of plays depending on scheme

 

[Husko]

It's so interesting that he's so difference from all their other interior OL. I wonder if they identified a pocket collapsing issue they wanted to address. Or maybe it means nothing and it's just a value pick

 

[ValJamesDuex]

 

[BuiltTagonTough]

Philly will take him at any minute and he’ll be a nightmare there for the next 10 years next to Nolan Smith

I was literally just thinking, "Watch Philly take Washington and Sanders back to back."

 

[Dubi Doo]

Im glad we have some depth on the o line now. Seems like if one guard went down the past two years, pressure up the middle became consistent.

we had Mane…. playing easily the best football of his career. no one in the world would have been taking his snaps

Zero sacks allowed in 1,501 career pass-blocking snaps. Gotta love that!

I wonder if Rapp was sneaky hybrid signing and theyre not telling us until camp

 

[Husko]

My shock at them wanting Torrence notwithstanding, gotta say I'm super pleased with 2 straight offensive picks. Seems like they generally want to invest in Allen this year and that makes me smile.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I wouldn’t mind a long term pick at WR or G. Mingo or one of the guards would continue to add talent to important positions

But I don’t expect those guards to last to us

Boom! Loving this draft

 

[Husko]

Yes but there was so many snaps to go around as Milano and Edmunds both dealt with injuries all seaosn and they chose to play literally anyone but Bernard

We’ve been asking for this for awhile!

And there goes Pickens...
