Go bills

Gimme Chris Harris Jr on a solid 2-3 year deal!

 

[Sabreality]

AJ Dillon could be a nice day 3 RB option, big kid with good vision and hits the hole hard, very physical back. Could be a nice compliment to Motor.

 

[SabresFan26]

What a start to free agency by the Bills. What a great staff too. When will the Sabres get their magic Beanes. Really looking forward to the season.

No Harris for those interested.

This should become part of the Buffalo Sports lexicon thread that I think @Buffaloed started.

Makes sense. There’s no guarantee that they’d be able to trade up for one of the top 2 guys, and even if they could it’s probably going to cost more/better picks than 5ths & 6ths.

Diggs is still young, he’s proven and he’s under contract for 4 years (+ they could tag him if they need to after that).

We know Diggs is among the best WR’s in the NFL at creating separation, at contested catches & is good in the red zone. No guessing or projecting required.

So we used the pick on a sure thing and guaranteed we get the WR we need, instead of using the pick on a college player & hoping you can draft the WR you want.

Awesome

Good. Higgins isn't worth that pick, Diggs is.

It's crazy how many position groups are seemingly done. DE, TE (unless we end up cutting Kroft?), starting receivers, LBs, OL, secondary, etc. So few "holes" on the roster. By my count, the holes/opportunities to upgrade are:

-Backup/developmental QB
-Complimentary RB
-Depth receivers
-Maybe one depth OL
-Depth LB
-Safety depth
-Corner depth/competition

Pretty damn impressive. In terms of highest priority "need" (in terms of actual playing time), I guess it would be RB and CB. Just think, if we just sign another corner and a RB, we could enter the draft with a true, unadulterated BPA strategy.

I really don't have any interest in a big back. In my best case scenario, Singletary is the slowest RB on the roster, not the fasted. I want our complimentary RB to be a Brieda type pass catcher/home run hitter. Singletary can be the chunk getter, but he will never be a home run hitter.

Reports | Bills add three defensive linemen, a linebacker and two special teams stalwarts in free agency

I still worry about CB2. Who ever plays that role is going to get picked on because QBs will avoid Tre like the plague. Hopefully Wallace or Norman can hold the spot down adequately. Wouldn't mind spending a 2nd round pick on a CB if a solid ones available, but we're going BPA eitherway.

I do love some of the D-line signings. Butler broke out last year. I can see him filling Phillips role well. I'm iffy on Addison, but he should do well since we rotate DEs. Jefferson is solid and versatile.

Going to keep an eye on Thompson and Klein to see who gets the majority of snaps at linebacker.

Beane has done a phenomenal job at tearing down and rebuilding the team over the past 3 years.

If that comment about the cardinals offer being the “best by far” is actually true, it really makes me wonder why?

I find it hard to believe the Arizona offer was the best they received if they actually shopped him around.

I imagine they view Johnson in a very high light instead of the cap dump he is.

ESPN's Barnwell on the Hopkins trade:

I honestly admire Arizona general manager Steve Keim's audacity in even asking to swap fourth-rounders; it's as if someone offered you $1,000 for your VHS copy of "Mr. Deeds" and you asked that person for more before saying yes.

Sauce: The Texans did what? Barnwell grades the DeAndre Hopkins trade

If we move on from Johnson, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Artie Burns for cheap or Verett.

Dillon isn't just a big back he's got some wheels too (he ran a 4.53 40). I wouldn't say he's the homerun hitting type your looking for, but I think he'd be a nice fit that wouldn't require a high draft choice.
