There's a reason the league is set up the way it is, at some point, we will probably miss on some picks. Thankfully they've hedged and are set up well to handle it pretty much better than any team in the league.
Look at the Eagles, Bills and Bengals. They’re losing important pieces like crazy.
We’ve lost a LT (who we paid for the new one). The rest of the guys are replaceable.
We have a great foundation set up of young, cheap players. [Reply]

It's almost like they know what they're doing or something. [Reply]

Sure, getting starters out of like round 6 is rare. However if you blow picks in round 1-3 that will hurt. [Reply]

What? The Bills core is fucking OLD. Von Miller off a major injury, Micah Hyde off a major injury, Jordan Poyer off a bad injury.
Now they lose Edmunds.
Dude come on. Teams like that are NOT in as good a position as us. Not even close.
You’re also forgetting we have Mahomes and Andy who can make things work better than anybody. We don’t have the same risk tolerance as other teams bc of them. [Reply]

Edmunds is a tough one, but ILB's aren't exactly hard to find. Their problem is that they haven't drafted very well, but they still have Diggs and Allen and Von (not ideal).
But I was really speaking more to the Eagles and Bengals. I think their demise is being greatly exaggerated [Reply]

Buffalo doesn't have shit for players 25 and under. [Reply]
I don't really think the Bills are in the same class as the other 3 (and the 9ers) unless Allen can go full alien and play a full season at an MVP level. [Reply]

INB4 DONT FORGET FRANK CLARK!
Like i said the big potholes have been filled. Time to find some prove it deal guys, a Justin Watson or two and a few run stuffers to round out the roster pre draft. [Reply]

The only thing saving the Bengals from getting beat down by Mahomes in the AFC Championship this year was we were missing 4 out of our top 5 WR's in the 2nd half. [Reply]
