Buffalo Bills The Doldrums of the NFL Off-season have arrived

I can’t say that I’ve ever seen LJ play but I really like what I’m hearing about him. In Beane we trust always.

Unfortunately. Wanted McConkey/DeJean last year. Was told to have faith with Coleman & he'd learn how to separate in the pros.
Beane's last two drafts haven't been good. Hope I'm wrong.

I’m sure he can, but it’s clearly not the position he should be playing primarily, nor the position they drafted him to play at primarily, like some were positing.

per Landon Jackson models his game after Maxx Crosby and Jason Taylor
Jackson trained together with Hairston in Phoenix this off season

Listen to Marino’s review on him in the video I posted. Marinos the best in the business imo.
I hated the trade up for TJ but after watching his highlights and listening to JM’s review — I’m excited about him. Highest rated win rate % out of all DT’s. This dude + Oliver are going to f*** shit up on the inside of that line. I wanted a 1-tech but the more I watched on Sanders the more I liked

Could also be a position they address in-season with a trade if Milano regresses. Beane has made a pretty significant in-season trade two years in a row. Safety is another position to keep an eye for a potential in-season acquisition.

Bills will draft Shaun Dolac and he’ll make them look like geniuses.
Coleman was developing fine until Poyer hulk smashed him. I wasn’t a fan either but he was looking pretty good before going down. Book is still open on him and those drafts.

An underwhelming DL is why they can't get over the hump. Drafting where they do every year, they have to keep taking shots at guys in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and trust the odds will eventually hit a few.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
Yeah, it's waay to early to make final judgements on the last two drafts. They also only had 3 picks in the first 4 rounds in 2023 and came away with 2 outright starters and someone who's currently a backup (D. Williams). Shorter was a little bit below value as a 5th round pick, but they did fine with their first 3 picks in 2023 - with a chance to come out exceptional if any of the 3 continue to progress and develop.
Coleman also outproduced most of the receivers taken around him on a per game basis (including Worthy). McConkey was the outlier in the late 1st/early 2nd, not the norm.
This offense is coming off its best statistical season in the franchise’s history. This D has been letting Josh down abs Beane has primarily focused on improving multiple aspects.
I think people just like to bitch.

I mean you have to start drafting some game changing talent if you want to actually help Josh out. That's what McConkey looks like. Coleman looks to be a WR3 contested catch guy who can't separate. You want much more from your top pick.
Eagles/Chiefs have been getting ballers on both sides every draft. Meanwhile we're still taking guys that need 3+ years to develop & the "book is still open on them"

Yeah, going down with his 93-52 record. Makes sense.
The only way McDermott's going anywhere after this season is if they have a nightmare season (and even then if it's caused by an Allen injury he probably won't go anywhere, depending on how the backup QB play is)

We still need a WR to compete with Shavers, TE to compete with Davidson, LB to compete with Spector/Andreessen, S to compete with Forrest. Plenty of roster spots they can draft guys to win spots.

Epenesa had more impressive college tape than Jackson. He absolutely bullied offensive linemen in college. I still think it was a huge mistake when the Bills asked him to cut 20lbs and change his body type, I felt like he lost a lot of power in his rushes.
