@BillsSocal Haha yeah the pats are dumb asses and now they are pot committed to a deficient LT. And yeah, if he becomes a decent back that’s a HUGE W. As far as Kromer goes, I’ve always looked at it as Kromer’s scheme can hide deficient players vs him turning them into good players

@BuffCommander You have good reason to think all that. I just have (or had) a lot of faith in Kromer on the evaluation side. Lots of warts in the 6th round. I would be pissed if we drafted someone with that body profile in the 1st (lol Pats!). Like I say, if he's a decent backup, that a win.

Bills haven't had to worry about it in a while, but they should probably draft a developmental OT, esp w/ Dion getting older. Lundt is an option but he may ultimately be better as a guard. Grable is closer to a finished product but has been injury prone.

@Billzfanz To be clear, I hope we get DJ Reader 😂

@BuffCommander Oh ok thanks boss 🫡

Would he a great fit, and he doesn’t affect the comp pick bingo formula. Hopefully Beane uses the money that he just free’d up

@BillsSocal I think he was good for a small school level, but I just didn’t see any redeemable NFL traits. But we’ll see how it looks. I hope I’m super wrong. I think I value the measurements more than most, but I think they have the thresholds for a reason (as we can see with Will Campbell)

@BuffCommander I get it. If you liked the pick it was because he had good feet and you hope he could add some good weight to that massive frame.

@Billzfanz And I would love Reader too

@Billzfanz We have some 1T’s, we need a NT (or 0Tech). My guess is they don’t roster a NT and run a 3-4 with a 1tech instead of a NT. That’s what it sounded like in Beane’s interview this past week

@BuffCommander Need DJ Reader at nt! I don’t understand why they refuse to get a 1tech! Running backs have been killing us and I don’t see anything they’ve done to make it better! Maybe they draft one but I’d rather have experience 🤷🏻‍♂️

@BillsSocal Yeah I have my doubts. He has T-Rex arms and not a great athlete. Also barely over 300 lbs. I hated the pick from the jump so I’m admittedly biased. I don’t think he’s a rosterable NFL player but here we are. At 6’7”1/2 he’ll have trouble inside given his lack of girth

@BuffCommander Fair. I'm just parroting the scuttlebutt when he was drafted, which I assume came at least some degree from Kromer, who I put a lot of trust in. As a 6th round pick, if he's a decent back up, that's a win.

@ElvisZerodx I actually didn’t either until mid last week lol

@BuffCommander Ok I didn’t even know he was a FA

@ElvisZerodx I’m not at all. I’ve been saying it since CJGJ and Geno were signed, but they feel good about the safety room now. Also, Dugger is more of a box only safety

@BuffCommander I’m surprised they didn’t go after Kyle Dugger

@ElvisZerodx Maybe another edge player to give us insurance for Chubb

@ElvisZerodx Nice. Yeah I feel like they kind of have to use it for a tiny swing now. Like an Okereke or Reader

@KevinMassare @sdcartman Agreed and Okereke is better than Pratt. Not to mention I’m starting to think Beane likes the DT’s he has on the roster

@sdcartman Okereke doesnt count against the formula. Reader and Pratt would

Bobby Okereke, the defensive captain for the Giants and ILB coach John Egorugwu is now with the Bills He would be a good starter to give the recently freed money by the Bills. He wouldn’t count against the compensation formula either. No brainer

@Moook_12 Anderson isn’t really a swing tackle. Grable won the swing tackle role 2 years and RVD was the other backup tackle. Anderson was always the utility lineman and “swing” guard/backup center

@BuffCommander Help remind me, wasn’t Grable the swing tackle before he got hurt ahead of Anderson

Grable beat out RVD for the swing tackle spot 2 szns ago. With that said, the Bills can't afford to stack the tackle room with a 4.2 mill backup. Teams only roster 4 tackles typically, so we aren't really in a depth problem situation, but Lundt better be able to carry some water

@kevin_siracuse Yeah that sounds correct. I really do like the player, just wonder if he can stay healthy consistently

@BuffCommander Yeah but it will probably drop his price tag. Plus he would be the perfect competition for Alec Anderson at LG without burying him on the depth chart like a Joel Bitonio or Kevin Zeitler would

@KevinMassare Nice. Yeah I think given already have Grable they felt this money could be allocated more to a true position of need. Just hope Grable can stay healthy

@BuffCommander 12-12.5

The Bills free up 3.5m by letting Van Demark go to the Vikings. They get him on a 1 year deal worth 4.2m

@whittle2k @kevin_siracuse Most definitely. He'd instantly be our best LB

@BuffCommander @kevin_siracuse He's still only 29. Can problem get 3 more good years from him
