weak class

qb from liberty may fall to the end of first rd

qb from pitt could be late first or early 2nd

qb's from north carolina and cinncy projected as early to mid 2nd rounders

but they get 5th year option if taken in first rd

I expect 3 QBs to go top 20.

All I care is the player they pick in rd 1 is a day 1 starter. (Outside of P/K/LS of course)


Add - Id be upset if they took a d-lineman

Do the Bills draft the Punt God? If so, what round? They sure could use an upgrade at punter if you're looking to tweak an already great roster. If not, what round does someone take a shot at him?

Sal Capaccio keeps harping on the point that Matt Haack is here almost more because he is really good at holding for field goals than he is a punter. They value that a lot more than we realize.

I didn't realize there were that many missed FG's and extra points due to the holder (frank)ing up the snap. If true, then i'm grateful for Haack and hope they extend him for whatever cost

Thats my LOL.

The Bills trade down to 33 and draft Hall there everyone loves it cause they got an extra 3rd rd pick.

But Hall at 25, end of the world.

Would you hate I
Get your RB in early 2nd, use your 2nd for CB/WR,
Use the two 3rd to get a WR and another CB or S

I'd be estatic.

I'm not even saying they shouldn't upgrade that position. It's just an interesting insight into their mindset, right or wrong.

Sure, but if they really valued him they wouldn't have made him re-do his contract so he has no guaranteed money (and thus easily cut). Bring on punt god.

4th or 5th, if only because we only have so many roster spots that are realistically open.

If receiver isn't a priority this year, it should be a priority next year. Gabriel Davis is likely going to price himself out of Buffalo after 2023 unless something really stupid happens.

I could see it happening and hope it does. Better for the Bills. Could be possible in NFC South alone.

Counting on it...oh,
and VGK then wins the Cup in '23 ... of course Eichel outdoes ROR by getting the Scoring Championship, Hart, MVP Plyiffs and Masterson Award for his community service in Vegas.
Welcome to pick 32...it's the Buffalo Way.

“ Jeff Petry (MTL26) was a difference-maker in the Habs' 4-3 win over NYR last night.

He scored 2 goals and had a 64% xGF% at 5v5, although his team locked up last place.

Here are his most notable plays and puck touches from last night. #GoHabsGo  #NHLPotN”


This is my #1 target to play with Power next year

They're paying $10 million per for that.

Couple of points on the “punting god”.

The Bills really prioritize holding for the place kicker (remember Bojo who was a poor holder?)

The “punting god” was also the kicker so he has no experience holding for the kicker. I think that would remove him from the board.

What's a reasonable price to pay?

Very odd, imo. He's great at what you need him to do, and you need a strong leg in buffalo to cut through the wind. I'm curious to see which team bites and how long he's on the board

That’s the question, not sure.

His cap hit is 6+ for two more years I believe

Montreal is rebuilding, so I’m guessing a prospect and a 2nd?

Maybe one of the Russian forwards or Huglen or someone

Our top 4 would be ridiculous with Power/Petry Dahlin/Samuelsson
