I ran that one earlier. They are going to need to go scorched earth for a while. I don't think they can trade Garrett pre-June 1st, which is why I used 2026 and 2027 picks for the Bills. The Browns will need to trade/restructure virtually all their big contracts just to make it through the next two years.Does it work for the Browns?

I'd try to add another CB at some point, but I think this would put the Bills is a great position to make a run the next few years.
Still rooting for the meteor.Two Bills from this season are playing for the Eagles in the Super Bowl Sunday, LB Nicholas Morrow and S Lewis Cine.
were going to see A Complete Unknown.Still rooting for the meteor.
Abdul Carter has a legit case to go #1.Is there a premier pass rusher coming out of college this year ? And if so, where is he expected to go in the draft? Maybe it'd be easier for the Bills to trade up and get him ??
Where would you take him? One of our seconds? More of a day 3 guy?I'm not high on taking a WR early, but Savion Williams from TCU could be an exception. Huge, fast, very versatile. Hasn't been used a ton as a vertical threat but he's got the ability.
I took him in the 2nd because I think he’s going to test well.Where would you take him? One of our seconds? More of a day 3 guy?
Browns have $40 mill in dead cap for 2025 already mostly from cooper and smith. Garrett is $36 mill dead cap if moved before June 1. Can split that over 2 seasons if moved post June. But have to make that deal unofficially to allow new club time and planning contract wise.I ran that one earlier. They are going to need to go scorched earth for a while. I don't think they can trade Garrett pre-June 1st, which is why I used 2026 and 2027 picks for the Bills. The Browns will need to trade/restructure virtually all their big contracts just to make it through the next two years.
If they are smart, they'll target the QBs in the next two drafts (2026 and 2027) and work towards that.
If they trade Garrett post-June 1st, the numbers work with some restructuring and void years. But they won't be competitive for 2-3 years. With Watson on the roster, it was going to be that way anyway. They are already in a cap hole right now for 2025 without even factoring in draft picks.
IF Crosby is available, then we are lucky as hell. We have two shots to get a high caliber DE. I want Garrett because he's ELITE, and gives us the best shot to win a SB in 3 years, and assuming Allen has about 6 ish years left of his prime, give me the player who maximizes our chances for a couple of years.Might it make more sense to target Crosby? Younger. Huge JA fan. Not as good a pass rusher as Myles and he is coming off an ankle surgery, but a trade might be more doable if Vegas is willing to move him without the cap complications.
If the Bills miss trading for someone, who are the edge rushers with his ceiling this draft? Max was a 4th round pick. In my head, it’ll be the end of the world if we don’t nab someone this offseason who can pressure consistently, but I try and remind myself that it could very well be a blessing in disguise if we stand pat with our picks.
There are like 7-8 edge/DE’s that could go in the first round this year. And another 3-4 DT’s. In a perfect world we find a way to draft a Nolen, Harmon or Williams to compliment Ed, and an edge rusher which will improve the entire dline as a whole.
I love some of the CB’s and Safety’s but I can’t fathom the idea of investing our top 2-3 picks on one when we drastically need help on the Dline. I don’t want to see Beane select 8-10 picks this draft. Go out swinging. Roll the dice and bundle some of those picks and aim for guys that may have a lower floor but a high ceiling — like a Maxx Crosby.
My dream scenario is trading for Myles or Maxx and still being able to add one of those higher rated DT’s.
If we aren't bringing back Douglas at CB2, we need to draft a CB in round 2 at the latest. It's a much bigger need than WR imo. The off-season you showed with Levi Wallace as CB2 feels too precarious to make a SB run.Today's effort. I went with Williams and Collins in the 2nd round. I like both as traitsy athletes. The rest were BPA by tier, though I am not a fan of PFNs rankings. My assumption was any Garrett trade would be with 2026 and 2027 picks and after June 1st.

Just take Isas Waxter on Day 3 and you are good with the Villanova duo at CB.If we aren't bringing back Douglas at CB2, we need to draft a CB in round 2 at the latest. It's a much bigger need than WR imo. The off-season you showed with Levi Wallace as CB2 feels too precarious to make a SB run.
I do like Grant a ton though.
