Hey everyone,
This is my one and only mock draft for this year. I normally don't do trades, but I have a feeling a large amount of trades will happen in this year's draft, so I thought it would be worth it to include them in here.
Feedback on picks, trades, and explanations are welcome.
1.01 CAR (via CHI) Bryce Young, QB, Alabama
Despite all the noise on others being the pick here, it's clearly Bryce Young. If he was even 6'1", would this even be a debate? Young has the best shot out of all of these QBs to be a franchise QB for a long time. I applaud Carolina for trading up and getting their guy.
1.02 HOU Will Anderson Jr., DE, Alabama
The draft starts here. While I would've bet this was going to be a QB for months, it is now clear that Houston is looking at an elite edge rusher at 1.02. Coming from New England, I think Nick Caserio sees the ideal Patriots edge rusher in Will Anderson Jr. He's an incredibly safe prospect that new HC DeMeco Ryans will love to work with.
PROJECTED TRADE
ARI trades 1.03 and 5.168 to IND for 1.04, 3.79, 4.106, and their 2024 fifth rounder.
It seems like every other article I read regarding the draft has to do with Arizona desperately wanting to trade down with this pick and collect some draft capital. The Cardinals move down one spot and get some nice picks in the middle of the draft.
The Colts get antsy and decide it’s worth it to move up one spot to get their guy at QB. They feared Tennessee would vault up to 1.03 and take their guy. While it cost them some decent draft picks, they only lose a net of one draft pick this year and one next year, and they still keep their second round pick. This trade makes a lot of sense for both sides.
1.03 IND (via ARI) C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State
Someone will move up for a QB in the draft, and I have a feeling the Colts will move up one spot to secure their QB of the future. Despite all the buzz about Stroud possibly falling for a poor S2 test, his tape is undeniably good. I struggle seeing him fall past 1.05, let alone 1.03. Colts get their QB of the future.
PROJECTED TRADE
ARI trades 1.04 to LV for 1.07, 3.100, 5.144 and 6.204.
As mentioned in the previous trade, the Cardinals have spoken extensively on how they would like to trade down to collect picks. I still think they are uncomfortable being at 1.04, as I believe they are focused on getting an offensive lineman with their first round pick, and 1.04 is too rich for any of them.
The Raiders have a dizzying 12 picks currently in this year’s draft. While their roster surely needs a boost in young, cheap talent, 12 picks is a bit excessive. The Raiders will surely give Jimmy Garoppolo heart palpitations in trading up, but he will breathe a sigh of relief once the pick is made.
1.04 LV (via ARI via IND) Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech
This will be one of the biggest "WOW" moments of the draft. The Raiders felt they needed to jump Seattle and Detroit to get possibly the best defensive player in this year's draft. Chandler Jones is 33 now, so his production could decline. Having a young DE to learn under both Jones and Maxx Crosby will pay dividends in the future. Vegas' pass rush is looking somehow even scarier than it was before.
1.05 SEA (via DEN) Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida
The Seahawks control how the rest of the draft looks, in my opinion. Whether they take a QB or defensive player here changes so much of what other teams will do. With Richardson still on the board and them not having to trade up, they're happy to get their QB of the future. Geno Smith was very good last year, but I think the Seahawks know that he isn't a long-term answer. Richardson can sit behind Smith and get promoted to QB1 when he's ready.
PROJECTED TRADE
DET trades 1.06 and 6.183 to PHI for 1.10, 3.94, and their 2024 second round pick.
This draft is going to be packed with trades. I promise I am not trading for the sake of trading; there is a method to the madness.
There are too many high quality players available for Detroit to not trade down a few spots. Their number one guy available is Devon Witherspoon, but they worried that Las Vegas would take him if they didn’t. Good news! The Raiders have already traded up, so Detroit can breathe a sigh of relief. Brad Holmes loves the idea of improving his draft positioning this year and getting a day two pick next year. Very nice trade for Detroit.
The Eagles love moving up and down the draft board. Seeing that Seattle hasn’t taken Jalen Carter and the Raiders are not a threat to take Devon Witherspoon from the Lions, Howie Roseman calls up Brad Holmes and works out a deal to move up. Philadelphia only has 6 picks this year, but they keep the number of picks they have to move up. It’s a classic deal that Howie Roseman has become known for on draft day.
1.06 PHI (via DET via LAR) Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia
The Eagles move up to jump the Cardinals, Falcons, and Bears to get an elite defensive talent in Jalen Carter. Seattle was the biggest hurdle to Carter, and they cleared it. The Eagles love having an arsenal of defensive linemen. Fletcher Cox could leave after this year, and Jalen Carter would slide right in and be just as productive. Carter joins former Georgia Bulldogs Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean in hopes of recreating the magic they had in their championship run.
1.07 ARI (via LV) Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern
The Cardinals wisely traded down twice to get a stockpile of draft picks. Now that they've gotten those picks, it's time to protect Kyler Murray. Skoronski is arguably the best offensive lineman in this year's draft, and his flexibility at either OT or G gives the Cardinals options. A solid first pick for new GM Monti Ossenfort.
1.08 ATL Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State
The Falcons only have three WRs under contract for 2024: Drake London, Jared Bernhardt, and Josh Ali. I know the NFL can't print the Jared Bernhardt jerseys fast enough, but the Falcons need to consider receiver with their first pick. Considering the last two first round picks where skill position players, it seems as though GM Terry Fontenot trusts his eye when it comes to picking receivers early in the draft.
1.09 CHI (via CAR) Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas
I'm seeing more buzz on this pick possibly occurring. I think it makes a lot of sense for the Bears, as they don't have anyone who can take on RB1 responsibilities. They also need to lessen the burden on Justin Fields in the run game. This pick drastically changes their offence and their projection this year.
1.10 DET (via PHI via NO) Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois
After wisely trading down, the Lions still get their guy at 1.10. The Lions have signaled they will go CB early by trading Jeff Okudah to the Falcons. Witherspoon is one of the safest prospects in this year's draft, and the Lions are thrilled with how they got him.
1.11 TEN Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
Tennessee, much like Seattle, will wait to see how the draft falls to them. With their limited resources, it isn't wise for them to trade up for a QB, but if one were to fall to them, they would take him. Tannehill's time in Tennessee will probably end at the end of this season. Malik Willis showed very little progress. Levis gives them someone to build around for the future.
PROJECTED TRADE
HOU trades 1.12 to PIT for 1.17 and their 2024 third round pick.
Houston has a lot of draft capital this year, so they don’t necessarily need a big haul from Pittsburgh to move down. They still get a day two pick for next year, so they continue having a war chest of picks this year and next.
Pittsburgh, seeing the inevitable run on OTs about to commence, jumps the Jets and Patriots to get their guy, while not losing a draft pick this year. Smart business by the Steelers to help protect Kenny Pickett.
1.12 PIT (via HOU via CLE) Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State
The Steelers had to wait until the Titans picked to trade up for an OT. Paris Johnson Jr. is the best OT left on the board and Pittsburgh is happy they finally have some adequate protection for Kenny Pickett.
1.13 GB (via NYJ) Nolan Smith, DE, Georgia
The Packers have an aversion to drafting skill position players in the first round, and they love the following three qualities about Nolan Smith:

• He keeps the trend going of Georgia defensive players going to GB in the first round (Stokes, Walker, and Wyatt).
• They love having depth at edge rusher.
• The Smith brothers are reunited, but with a different brother.

Add the fact that Nolan Smith is considered to be the leader of the Georgia defense, this pick makes too much sense.
1.14 NE Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan
This feels like a Patriots pick. Much like Cole Strange last year, everyone will be shocked, but then slowly come to the realization that it's a decent pick. New England has gotten their fair share of Michigan defensive players in recent years, which is important, as Smith has had some off the field trouble that Belichick would want cleared up. Belichick must trust his intel at Michigan to determine whether Smith is worth the risk. Belichick is predictably unpredictable, and I see this as a manifestation of that.
1.15 NYJ (via GB) Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee
The Jets finally got Aaron Rodgers. Let's give him some more protection in his age 39 season. The Mekhi Becton experience is all but over. I could see the Jets trying to shop him this weekend. What gravitated the Jets to Becton was his frame, and they get that same frame in Darnell Wright.
1.16 WSH Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
Washington stays put and gets the best value in the draft. With all the trades above, Gonzalez somehow slips to 16, where Washington ends his slide. This is a cut and dry pick for me. No debate needed.
1.17 HOU (via PIT) Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa
Doubling down at edge rusher? This is a DeMeco Ryans pick, through and through. This pick makes more sense when you see that the Texans do not have a DE under contract in 2024. The Texans need edge help, even with the addition of Will Anderson Jr. It also helps that Lukas Van Ness is an athletic freak.
1.18 DET Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah
With T.J. Hockenson now in Minnesota, the Lions pick their top guy at TE with one of their first round picks. Kincaid, while an older prospect, can single-handedly take a game over. Jared Goff will love his new weapon.
PROJECTED TRADE
TB trades 1.19 and 6.179 to KC for 1.31, 3.95, 5.166, and their 2024 fourth round pick.
The Bucs are in full tank mode for Caleb Williams. No player at 1.19 is going to be worth all these picks they’ve accrued from Kansas City. The Bucs have many holes on their team and I think it’s best they opt for quantity over quality. They are not a couple of players away.
Kansas City, on the other hand, has lots of draft capital this year that they don’t need. 10 draft picks will not make the Chiefs roster, so they opt to move up a decent amount and get someone who fills a hole that was just opened this offseason.
1.19 KC (via TB) Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia
The Chiefs lost Orlando Brown Jr. this offseason, and they need to replace him early. The Chiefs bundle up a few picks and get Broderick Jones, who they're surprised to see still there at 1.19.
1.20 SEA Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State
Let's not forget what a normal Seahawks draft looks like. This is the team that drafted L.J. Collier and Jordyn Brooks in the first. Felix Anudike-Uzomah is my pick for shocking Seahawks pick.
1.21 LAC Jordan Addison, WR, USC
The Chargers one of the most injury prone teams in the league, especially at WR. Imagine a trio of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Jordan Addison? And Josh Palmer is your WR4? Not a bad collection of weapons.
PROJECTED TRADE
BAL trades 1.22 to NYG for 1.25 and 4.128.
Unlike most years, the Ravens are quite depleted in the number of picks they have. Here they find a trade partner who gives them a decent pick only to move down 3 spots. Very good business by the Ravens here.
The Giants have sunk a lot of money into Daniel Jones, so this experiment needs to work. They are looking to improve his weaponry, and one name has screamed out to them above all else. Since they have 10 picks in this year’s draft, they’re more than fine to secure their guy and move up a few spots.
1.22 NYG (via BAL) Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College
The Giants move up a few spots to get their favourite remaining WR available. While they have a few WRs who have a similar build to Flowers, I think Flowers becomes WR1 by the time the season starts. Additionally, the Giants only have two receivers under contract for 2024. Zay Flowers will become a favourite in the Big Apple.
PROJECTED TRADE
MIN trades 1.23 and 4.119 to BUF for 1.27, 3.91, and their 2024 sixth round pick.
These are two teams with not many picks, but Buffalo was clamouring to move up a few spots to get their guy. Minnesota is happy to improve their draft position later on, as there’s nothing on the board currently that screams value to them.
1.23 BUF (via MIN) Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson
The Bills have drafted a lot of edge rushers early on in the draft, but they’re one of those teams that wants that rotation of edge rushers to get after the QB. Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott stick with their blueprint and get a highly touted edge at a value.
1.24 JAX Brian Branch, S, Alabama
The Jags have very few holes on their team. Brian Branch can play either S or nickel for them, but likely nickel based on their current depth chart. This is one of those picks where the value and the team need are perfectly in line.
1.25 BAL (via NYG) Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh
Calijah Kancey is one of the more interesting prospects in this year’s draft. With his relatively small frame for DT, it is difficult to project what kind of defense he would excel in. The more I look at the Ravens scheme, the more I like his fit with them. He reminds me a little of Justin Madubuike, who happens to be a UFA in 2024. The Ravens keep stockpiling their defensive line while gaining a pick from the trade with the Giants.
1.26 DAL Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
The Cowboys are thrilled to see one of the top two TEs still on the board for them. The offence won’t lose a beat from losing Dalton Schultz in free agency. Mayer could even be an upgrade from Schultz. This seems like a classic value pick that Dallas seems to get in most drafts.
1.27 MIN (via BUF) Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland
The Vikings were happy to trade down, because they saw multiple corners that they could take at this spot. Why Banks over Joey Porter Jr.? It’s close, but I see Porter Jr. falling more than most have him projected, and I’ve liked the fit with Banks to Minnesota for a while now. I am confident the Vikings go corner early, as they still lack their true CB1.
1.28 CIN Keion White, DE, Georgia Tech
This could be an unpopular pick, as the Bengals are pretty loaded at edge. I think the Bengals could either have White gain weight and move inside, or they can really lean into having an arsenal of edge rushers. Don't they have other needs, though? They have some needs, but my vision for this pick is to protect them from the inevitable cap situation they'll be forced into. Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard will collectively make around $25 million in 2023 and $27.5 million in 2024. That's a lot money to have tied to two players. When the Bengals extend Joe Burrow, that'll be a king's ransom. Keion White gives them some cap flexibility and they could get rid of either Hendrickson or Hubbard if the cap forces them to do so.
1.29 NO (via DEN via MIA via SF) O'Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida
The Saints have shown that they are not afraid to draft interior offensive linemen early in the draft, and that they are comfortable being a year early rather than a year late to draft these linemen. Andrus Peat is getting older and Cesar Ruiz has been up and down. The Saints are always struggling to get under the cap, so I could see them cutting Peat to make room for the rest of their roster.
PROJECTED TRADE
PHI trades 1.30 to LAR for 2.36, 5.171, 5.177, and 6.191.
The Eagles love moving up and down the draft board. They moved up earlier to get Jalen Carter, and now they move down to recoup some of the draft picks they lost in that deal. Good business by Howie Roseman yet again.
The Rams!? In the first round? What year is it? The Rams have not had a first round pick since Jared Goff in 2016 (oh my God), and it is a shot in the dark to think they’d trade up to get one now. Allow me to argue why it makes sense.
Their Super Bowl run was great. They did so by using draft capital to get difference makers like Matthew Stafford, Von Miller, and Jalen Ramsey. It’s safe to say the bill came due for the Rams this year. Their defense is a complete shell of itself and they need talent at all three levels. The one asset the Rams have is a lot of day three picks, so they use a few to get a talented defender who shockingly fell this far.
1.30 LAR (via PHI) Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State
The Rams are shocked to see Porter Jr. still on the board. The days of shunning first round picks has come to an end. Porter Jr. becomes their CB1 as they attempt to rebuild this gutted defense.
1.31 TB (via KC) Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern
The Bucs close out the first round with a freaky athletic defensive tackle to pair opposite Vita Vea. While the Bucs are fully in a rebuild, Todd Bowles won’t accept having a poor defence. Adebawore has all the tools in the world to succeed, and Tampa is one of the better spots for him to develop.

3. In his infamously chaotic GQ interview, Robert Pattinson shared his "business idea" for "a pasta which you can hold in your hand."

The foil caused the appliance to shoot bolts of electricity then die.

Next, she poured it into a bowl, then she dipped each handful of spicy popcorn into pickle juice before eating.

Season Summary

Following a catastrophe in Kansas City to end their 2021 campaign the Buffalo Bills would enter the 2022 season as the overwhelming favorites to win the Super Bowl. With an already stacked team the Bills would go on to make the requisite additions to produce what many believed to be the best roster in the NFL. The story of the 2022 Buffalo Bills though, isn’t one that centers on football, instead it focuses on one of the most turbulent NFL seasons in recent history, and the perseverance to simply play through it all.
It began with the Bills doing everything right. They would bring in Aaron Kromer (OL Coach) and Rodger Saffold (LG) to significantly improve their Offensive Line. In one of the biggest splashes of the offseason they would add future Hall of Famer and legendary pass rusher, Von Miller, to close out games. They would enter the draft with little to no holes on their roster, and fill them with high potential players capable of making major impacts in 2022. And so, it was the beginning of May 2022 and Western New York was buzzing with all the hope and optimism expected of the home of a Super Bowl favorite.
May 14, 2022. A mass shooter, fueled by racism, took the lives of 10 humans at a Tops Supermarket in the East Side neighborhood of Buffalo, New York. All that buzz around the city quickly dissipated as people simply tried to comprehend what had happened. The City of Good Neighbors would rally together over this tragedy with the professional athletes that call Buffalo home included. Among them were Bills players who would attend memorials, volunteer, help comfort residents, and speak publicly on the topic. Said best by Dion Dawkins in a letter for The Players’ Tribune, “This is BUFFALO. In other words, this will not break us. This is our home.”
Still raw from the emotional events of May 14, fans and the team expected the summer months to be less devastating. Then, in June, news broke that Bills owner, Kim Pegula, was admitted to intensive care with the reason only recently revealed by her daughter, cardiac arrest. This was followed by news in mid-August that the brother of Bills Tight End, Dawson Knox, had passed away suddenly at the age of 22. Less than 2 weeks later, before the Bills final preseason game, it was made public that Bills rookie punter, Matt Araiza, had been accused of participating in the gang rape of a minor during his time as SDSU. He was released by the Bills on August 27.
A turbulent offseason would come to an end with Buffalo headed to California to take on the defending Super Bowl champ Los Angeles Rams. In dominating fashion, the Bills would prove Las Vegas oddsmakers right and down the champs in their own house. The following week saw an even more impressive performance by the Bills as they would beat the Titans by 34 points in their home opener. Win number two did come at a cost though as a neck injury sustained by All-Pro Safety, Micah Hyde, would sideline a key part of the Bills defense for the remainder of the season.
In Week 3 the injuries in the secondary would pile up with Buffalo down 4 of 5 starters in a critical matchup against the division rival Dolphins. Under a heat index north of 100 degrees the Dolphins would be the better team handing the Bills their first loss of the season and seizing control of the AFC East. Buffalo would rebound against the Ravens and Steelers and then take on the Chiefs in the matchups 4th consecutive game in Kansas City. The most anticipated game of the 2022 season would be a back and forth affair that came down to the final drive of the game, where Nickel CB Taron Johnson would intercept Patrick Mahomes to improve the Bills record to 5-1.
After an impressive win over the Chiefs the Bills would handedly defeat the Green Bay Packers and then head to New Jersey to take on the upstart New York Jets. The Jets would shock the Bills through an efficient offensive game plan and by applying relentless pressure on Josh Allen. The loss would drop the Bills to 6-2 but even more concerning was a Grade 2 UCL sprain suffered by Josh Allen on his throwing arm. This set up the possibility that Allen would not only miss the Bills home game against the Vikings one week later, but possibly an extended period of time. A game time decision Allen suited up for the Bills against the Vikings and played well in the first half. In the second half things unraveled as Allen committed a few egregious turnovers, Justin Jefferson made an electric play or two, and the Vikings handed the Bills their second consecutive loss.
In a bit of a slump, the Bills desperately needed a victory over the Cleveland Browns in a game that was set to be played at home on November 20th. Mother Nature had other plans and from November 16 to November 20 a storm would dump over 70 inches of snow on Orchard Park. The deadly storm would take the lives of 11 people, cause power outages throughout Western New York, and make it impossible to play a football game in the area. A last second decision was made to move the game to Detroit and through the help of fans and residents alike all players and staff members were able to make it to Detroit in time for the game. Despite the inability to practice leading up to the game the Bills were able to correct course with a win over the Browns. Just four days later they would return to Ford Field, on Thanksgiving, and beat the Lions in a nail biter which made Josh Allen the first Quarterback in NFL history to win in all three time slots on Thanksgiving. The win would come at a cost though as the Bills would lose their closer, Von Miller, to a torn ACL for the remainder of the 2022 season.
Buffalo would coax through their next 4 games which included victories over the Patriots, Jets, Dolphins, and Bears, the latter of which resulted in Buffalo clinching their 3rd consecutive AFC East Title. With Buffalo controlling the #1 seed in the AFC all eyes were set on a pivotal matchup between them and the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2, 2023. The game began as expected with both the Bengals and Bills exchanging scoring drives with Cincinnati driving on their second possession of the game. On a short pass to Tee Higgins, Bills Safety Damar Hamlin would come forward and make a routine tackle on the play. Hamlin would stand up. Hamlin would collapse.
The scenes that followed were unlike any we have seen in the modern NFL. With trainers rushing to help Damar Hamlin there were looks of fear and disbelief on every player and staff member on the field. Damar Hamlin’s heart had stopped, and trainers were attempting lifesaving CPR on the 24-year-old in front of an audience of millions. Hamlin would be loaded into an ambulance and rushed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center as his teammates and opponents would head to their respective locker rooms. In one of the more surreal moments in NFL history the Bills and Bengals made the joint decision to end the game out of concern for a player.
Over the next few days Hamlin’s family, Bills players, and Bills fans were joined by millions in holding their breath waiting for news regarding Damar Hamlin’s condition. Pseudo-doctors would pop up everywhere providing fictitious prognoses until 3 days later when Hamlin’s actual doctors held a press conference. In that presser his doctors confirmed that he had suffered cardiac arrest on the field, was saved by the on-field medical staff (Including Denny Kellington) and was slowly approaching stable condition. While in intensive care, a charity for a toy drive which Hamlin had started began to receive donations. He would ultimately leave the hospital on January 11, with that toy drive the beneficiary of nearly $9,000,000 in donations.
As concern for Hamlin’s health shifted to optimism, so too did the focus shift back to football. The NFL made the decision to cancel the Bills and Bengals game and put to a vote a new framework for determining home field advantage in the NFL playoffs. That measure was passed, though the Bills abstained from voting, prior to the Bills season finale against the Patriots. In one of the most emotional atmospheres in sports history the Patriots would kickoff to begin the game. In storybook fashion that kickoff would be returned by Nyheim Hines from his own end zone for a Touchdown. Later in that same game Hines would return a 2nd kick and the Bills would go on to win said game, setting up their 3rd game of the season against the Dolphins, this time in the Wildcard round of the playoffs.
That playoff game would begin much as everyone expected with the Bills jumping out to a three-score lead. A few Bills mishaps would make the game a bit dicey with Miami even gaining the lead briefly but ultimately the Bills would find a way to win. This would set up a replay of the game against the Bengals, this time in Buffalo. Damar Hamlin would attend that game and even make an appearance on the jumbotron from his box seats, but that would be the highlight of the game for Buffalo. From the jump the Bills appeared outmatched and whether it be a talent discrepancy, play calling, conditions, fatigue, or some combination of all, the Bengals would go on to end the Bills season.
By all accounts the preseason Super Bowl favorites failing to make their respective Conference Title game is a disappointment, Bills players and fans can attest to that. There were plenty of points this season where the on-field product didn’t live up to the hype and simply wasn’t good enough. It would also be unfair to simply disregard the undercurrent of negative occurrences that surrounded this team since day one, most of which were out of the team’s control. In movies stories of perseverance often result in fairy tale endings, in reality sometimes just playing through it all is the most you can ask.

Roster Changes

TRADES

• BUF gets Case Keenum (QB), CLE gets 2022 Pick #246 (03/19)

After former NVP Mitchell Trubisky signed with the Steelers the Bills were in need of a backup Quarterback. They would remedy this by trading a 2022 7th round pick (which became C Dawson Deaton) to the Browns for Case Keenum. Keenum didn’t see much playing time in Buffalo (for obvious short-wearing reasons), but in the 2 games he did see the field he would complete 2 passes on 7 attempts for 8 yards. Underwhelming, but he was a backup, what more could you expect?

• BUF gets 2023 Pick #139, ARZ gets Cody Ford (OL) (08/22)

A necessary trade for the Buffalo Bills. Cody Ford, a former 2nd round pick who performed well below expectations, gets flipped to the Cardinals in exchange for a 5th round pick. In Arizona Ford would receive an overall PFF grade of 41.2 while playing 350 snaps, allowing 3 sacks, and committing 2 penalties.

• BUF gets Nyheim Hines (RB), IND gets Zack Moss (RB) + 2023 Pick #164 (11/01)

In a trade executed as close to the NFL’s trade deadline as possible, the Bills offloaded former 3rd round pick Zack Moss, an underperforming RB compared to his initial promise, and a conditional 6th round pick, which became a 5th, to the Colts for Nyheim Hines. Hines performed well for the Bills as both a punt and kick returner. In the Bills season finale he would return 2 kicks for Touchdowns including an emotional one on the first play of the game. Moss would see playing time for the Colts producing 365 rushing yards on 76 attempts, good for a 4.8 Y/A.

• BUF gets Dean Marlowe (S), ATL gets 2023 Pick #247 (11/01)

The Bills other trade deadline acquisition involved an old acquaintance making his return. Dean Marlowe, who played for Buffalo from 2017 to 2020, was brought back to the Bills in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons in return for a 7th round pick. Much like Hines, Marlowe saw limited action but made the best of his time on the field. He appeared in just 6 games but had a critical interception in the Bills wildcard round victory over the Miami Dolphins.

FREE AGENCY / CLAIMS

• Rodger Saffold*, LG, 1-year $6.25m (03/09)*

The Bills brought Rodger Saffold to Buffalo, after a Pro-Bowl season in Tennessee, to shore up a below average Offensive Line. He would go on to play over 1000 snaps and earn his second straight trip to the Pro-Bowl, but wouldn’t live up to expectations. The Bills line would struggle as much, if not more so, than it did in years past, ultimately collapsing in the divisional round against the Bengals. All signs point to Saffold continuing his career but whether or not that is in Buffalo remains to be seen.

• Shaq Lawson*, DE, 1-year $1.19m (03/12)*

Shaq Lawson was one of a couple retreads for the Bills. He returned to Buffalo to improve their pass rush, something which had been lacking in years past. He would produce, including a few massive sacks and major contributions on multiple goal line stands. His importance to the 2022 Buffalo Bills cannot be understated, especially after Von Miller’s season ending injury.

• Jordan Phillips*, DT, 1-year $5.0m (03/12)*

Jordan Phillips was the other Defensive Line retread for the Bills, and while injuries plagued him, he made his presence known in the trenches. On limited snap counts he would produce, putting up relatively decent numbers including 1.5 sacks and 4.5 stuffs.

• Tim Settle*, DT, 2-years $9.0m (03/12)*

Settle had an underwhelming 2022 for the Bills. Signed as a promising Defensive Tackle, he went relatively unnoticed against both the run and pass. When that occurs on a Defensive Line where Von Miller is commanding double teams it exacerbates concerns. Settle is still under contract for the Bills in 2023 and assuming that contract isn’t altered expectations will be that he significantly improves in his second season in Buffalo.

• Von Miller*, DE, 6-years $120.0m (03/13)*

The prize of the offseason, Von Miller was brought to Buffalo to do one thing, close out games. On multiple occasions Miller would do just that and in the process make the rest of the Defensive Line look much better, especially Greg Rousseau. Despite missing a large portion of the season due to a torn ACL, Miller was worth every penny. Set to return to the Bills at some point in the 2023 season, expectations will be for him to continue the dominance he displayed this past year.

• O.J. Howard*, TE, 1-year $3.5m (03/13)*

The O.J. Howard signing was one many thought was a major addition. 12 and 02 personnel packages were potentially on the table with the Bills now able to pair Dawson Knox with a comparable Tight End. Those ideas fell apart rather quickly though as Howard was cut after the preseason, leaving to sign with the Texans. Howard joins many players of the past in a group known as the “what could have been Bills Legends”.

• Duke Johnson*, RB, 1-year $0.32m (03/16)*

Duke Johnson was brought in to compete for a role as a backup RB and/or return specialist. He wouldn’t win either job and would spend the season on the Bills practice squad being elevated and appearing in just one game for Buffalo.

• Greg Mancz*, OL, 1-year $1.27m (03/16)*

Greg Mancz was signed to compete for a swing IOL role. While he wouldn’t earn an active roster spot, he would find his way onto the Bills Practice Squad and appear in 27 snaps for the Bills in 2022.

• DaQuan Jones, DL, 2-year, $14.00m (03/16)

The Bills spent a fair amount of money in the 2022 offseason, the signing of DaQuan Jones may have been the best value. The former Titans Defensive Tackle was brought to Buffalo to shore up an interior Defensive Line that has needed reinforcements for years. As a 1-Tech, Jones dominated in the trenches for Buffalo appearing in 61% of the teams defensive snaps this past season.

• Matt Barkley*, QB, 1-year $1.15m (03/16)*

Matt Barkley returned to the Bills as a reserve quarterback for approximately 29.5 bitcoin. He would spend the entire season on the Bills practice squad as a valuable asset in the locker room with no tangible on field impact.

• Jamison Crowder*, WR, 1-year $2.0m (03/18)*

In the wake of losing slot WR, Cole Beasley, the Bills looked to Jamison Crowder. Early in the season he filled the part well, but after breaking his ankle in Week 4 Crowder would be lost for the season.

• David Quessenberry*, OL, 1-year $1.75m (04/16)*

David Quessenberry was brought to Buffalo to be a swing tackle/guard. He would appear in 36% of the team’s offensive snaps and play adequately during his time on the field.

• Greg Van Roten*, OL, 1-year $1.27m (06/08)*

Greg Van Roten was a similar addition to the Bills as David Quessenberry. Coming from the Jets, Van Roten was the Bills swing IOL appearing in 33% of the team’s offensive snaps this past season.

• Xavier Rhodes*, CB, 1-year $1.12m (09/28)*

After a slew of injuries in the secondary the Bills looked at veteran free agents. This brought Xavier Rhodes to the Bills where he would appear in 2 games, starting 1, before being cut and signed by the Cowboys.

• A.J. Klein*, LB, 1-year $1.12m (11/17)*

A little over 2 weeks after trading Roquan Smith the Bears would move on from another linebacker in A.J. Klein. The Bills would claim Klein off waivers as LB depth. He would appear in 169 total snaps for the Bills as a reserve linebacker and special teamer.

• John Brown*, WR, 1-year $0.36m (11/26)*

The Smokeshow made its way to Western New York due to the Bills WR core starring in the newest episode of NFL Grey’s Anatomy midway through the season. Isaiah McKenzie, Jamison Crowder, Jake Kumerow, and others suffered with injuries and with the Giants poaching Isaiah Hodgins the Bills were left with 3 healthy receivers in November. Thus an old friend made his return to Buffalo in John “Smoke” Brown. While not the receiver he once was, Brown still showed the speed to beat DBs deep, finishing the season with just 1 catch for a 42-yard touchdown in the Bills season finale.

• Cole Beasley*, WR, 1-year $0.36m (12/13)*

Another receiver that made his return to the Bills mid-season was Cole Beasley. After a brief stint in Tompa Bay and an even shorter retirement Beasley was added to the Bills practice squad as an option at slot WR. When he saw the field Beasley did produce, and though he split time with Khalil Shakir, Beasley did shore up a position of need for the Bills.

DRAFT

• Round 1, Pick 23: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida

Despite not playing the expected snaps of a 1st round pick, Kaiir Elam has a quietly impressive rookie season. With injuries affecting the entire Bills secondary all season, including Elam, he still put together a statistically significant season. This included a massive red zone interception of Patrick Mahomes and the game-sealing pass deflection in the wildcard round of the playoffs.

• Round 2, Pick 63: James Cook, RB, Georgia

James Cook underwent the typical progression of rookies under the McDermott umbrella; limited minutes early, sloppy play at times, heating up at the end of the season. In playing a complementary role to Devin Singletary, the Bills use of Cook allowed them to generate an efficient rushing attack towards the end of the season. Cook had his flashes and is definitely a player worth keeping an eye on heading into 2023.

• Round 3, Pick 89: Terrel Bernard, LB, Baylor

A puzzling pick at the time, Bernard would go on to have an unimpressive rookie season. He didn’t see much playing time on the defensive side of the ball and late in the season was even jumped on the depth chart by Bills waiver claim, A.J. Klein. Bernard’s potential does seem limited on defense but there does seem to be a plan for the Linebacker out of Baylor, providing an argument for why he was drafted.

• Round 5, Pick 148: Khalil Shakir, WR, Boise State

Buffalo had a 4th round grade on Khalil Shakir and were able to snag him in the 5th round. The result was a slew of angry phone calls to Brandon Beane from other GMs, and a rookie who showed flashes throughout the 2022 season. Though he was provided limited opportunities, Shakir proved capable of getting open and hauling in receptions all over the field. The ability to play both inside and out increases Shakir’s potential and provides him an all but guaranteed spot on the Bills moving forward.

• Round 6, Pick 180: Matt Araiza, P, San Diego State

Moving on. (In hindsight, Ryan Stonehouse would have been a better selection…)

• Round 6, Pick 185: Christian Benford, DB, Villanova

Surprise! The McBeane administration took a flier on another lesser known DB late in the draft, and he might be a stud! Levi Wallace, Damar Hamlin, Dane Jackson, and now Christian Benford, a 6th round pick out of Villanova who balled out from the jump. Unfortunately, his season would be cut relatively short due to a fractured hand, only playing 1 game thereafter. Still, Benford looks like the type of DB that both Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott covet, with a move to Safety not being out of the question.

• Round 6, Pick 209: Luke Tenuta, OL, Virginia Tech

Luke Tenuta’s tenure in Buffalo didn’t last long, despite him being Brandon Beane’s favorite style of linemen, an abnormally large one. He would be cut on the last day of cutdowns with the goal to bring him back to the Bills practice squad. That wouldn’t happen though as the Colts would poach him through waivers.

• Round 7, Pick 231: Baylon Spector, LB, Clemson

Despite his late round selection, Baylon Spector made the roster and performed admirably when he saw the field, primarily on special teams. His future projects to continue in that role though there is an outside chance he competes for the Bills currently open MLB role as an athletic, instinctual, undersized linebacker.

KEY UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTS

• Raheem Blackshear*, RB, Virginia Tech*

Raheem Blackshear became a cult favorite in Buffalo after an impressive preseason. Unable to crack the active roster, Blackshear was relegated to the Bills practice squad. He would last there for three weeks before being poached by the Panthers. Blackshear would finish the season with 170 scrimmage yards and 3 touchdowns for the Panthers as a player that clearly has a future in the NFL.

• Kingsley Jonathan*, DE, Syracuse*

Kingsley Jonathan was one of many players claimed from the Buffalo Bills. The Bears were the ones to take Jonathan who later appeared in 5 games for them. He would make his way back to Buffalo later in the season and is currently on a futures contract. He’s a sneaky player to watch for that has flashed impressive talent. Don’t be surprised if he finds his way onto the Bills active roster in 2023.

• Ja’Marcus Ingram*, CB, Buffalo*

In Week #3 of the 2022 season the Bills were so banged up in the secondary that Ja’Marcus Ingram was their CB2 at points. By no means elite, Ingram held his own when appearing for Buffalo and looks to be a fixture on their Practice Squad for the next few seasons.

KEY ROSTER LOSSES

Offense

• Daryl Williams, OL, RETIRED

Daryl Williams spent 2 years in Buffalo before becoming a cap casualty during the 2022 offseason. Williams was a consistent contributor at both Guard and Tackle even earning an All-Pro vote in 2020.

• Jon Feliciano, OL, Signed with Giants

Jon Feliciano spent 3 years in Buffalo and like Daryl Williams was a cap casualty during the 2022 offseason. Feliciano played all 3 IOL positions during his tenure in Buffalo but upon his release seemed exceptionally critical of how the Buffalo Bills operate.

• Mitchell Trubisky, QB, Signed with Steelers

Mitch Trubisky came to Buffalo on a 1-year flier to rehab his value. A few teams were enamored with him after he spent a year in Buffalo with Josh Allen and Brian Daboll leading to the Pittsburgh Steelers taking a chance on him as a possible starting Quarterback.

• Matt Breida, RB, Signed with Giants

Matt Breida’s speed was believed to be a potentially dominant asset in Buffalo. That never came to fruition. After an uneventful year with the Bills, Breida moved on to the Giants along with Bills Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll.

• Cole Beasley, WR, Signed with Buccaneers

Tension had been building for more than a year for Cole Beasley in Buffalo. Josh Allen’s pressure release valve asked for his release and was subsequently let go. Buffalo would have issues filling that role throughout 2022 and ultimately bring back Beasley after he expressed interest in a reunion.

• Emmanuel Sanders, WR, RETIRED

After a solid season as the Bills WR2 in Buffalo, Emmanuel Sanders elected to retire as opposed to continuing his career. Losing Sanders was viewed as a blessing in disguise by allowing Gabe Davis to see more playing time. Whether or not that blessing provided benefits remains debatable.

Defense

• Levi Wallace, CB, Signed with Steelers

A McBeane steal, Levi Wallace went from a UDFA to 4-year starter in Buffalo at CB. After consulting the color of his shorts Wallace elected to move on from Buffalo and sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

• Efe Obada, DE, Signed with Commanders

The long-armed raw Nigerian prospect was an integral part of the Buffalo Bills Defensive End rotation in 2021. In 2022 Efe Obada would sign in Washington and put together a solid 4.0 Sack, 24 Tackle season.

• Jerry Hughes, DE, Signed with Texans

The longest tenured Bill heading into the 2022 offseason, Jerry Hughes would leave Buffalo and head to the Texans after 9 seasons with the franchise. Von Miller would be brought in specifically as an upgrade for Hughes but come the end of 2022 Jerry would finish with more sacks (for more than one reason).

• Mario Addison, DE, Signed with Texans

Mario Addison joined Jerry Hughes on his move to the Texans. After 12.0 sacks over 2 seasons with the Bills Addison would have just 1.0 sack with the Texans in 12 appearances.

• Harrison Phillips, DT, Signed with Vikings

Maybe the biggest loss for the Bills on the defensive side of the ball, beloved Defensive Tackle moved on to join the Minnesota Vikings. A 3rd Round Pick in 2018, Phillips showed flashes of dominance in Buffalo with injuries hampering his progression. In Minnesota he continued to play well and was even a massive part of the Fumble Return Touchdown that arguably resulted in the Vikings beating the Bills during the 2022 season.

• Star Lotulelei, DT, UNSIGNED

One of the bigger busts as far as signings have gone in the McBeane era, Star Lotulelei never lived up to expectations as a solid 1T-DT for the Bills. He would be cut in cap savings efforts after the 2021 season and not find work elsewhere. He has yet to formally announce his retirement.

• Vernon Butler, DT, Signed with Raiders

Vernon Butler was another let down of a signing in the IDL for the Bills and left for the Raiders following the 2021 season. He would end up playing just 1 game in 2022, for the Giants, having 4 tackles in that effort.

• A.J. Klein, LB, Signed with Giants

A.J. Klein was a reserve linebacker during his time for the Bills but wasn’t in their plans for the 2022 season. He would become a part of that plan later in the season though as injuries saw the Bills claim Klein to hold down the fort while the Bills tried to bide their time.

Special Teams

• Matt Haack, P, Signed with Colts

Matt Haack struggled in 2021 for the Bills so Buffalo happily let him walk looking for improvements at a relatively unused position for the team. Haack in his own right played well in 2022 though, having one of the best seasons of his career for the underwhelming Indianapolis Colts.

POSSIBLE OPTIONS AT PICK #27

• Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia

This may be a stretch but consider it with an open mind. The Bills have thrived off of extremely raw, underdeveloped prospects with high potential. If the Bills must go Front-7 for the umpteenth time, Nolan Smith may be the pick. The number one prospect in the nation coming out of high school he flashed at Georgia. He also just dominated the Combine, putting up inhuman numbers for a guy his size. While few Bills fans want to see another Edge rusher in the first-round, especially after all the other ones turned out so well, if they are going to do it, Smith is the guy to do it with.

• O’Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida

O’Cyrus Torrence is currently the desired pick of most Bills fans, and on surface, it’s clear why. Seen as the best guard in the draft, Torrence is a 6 '5'' 347 lb. monster who is known to flat out ragdoll defenders as a run-blocking, mauling o-lineman. He didn’t surrender a sack in his 4-year career of over 3000 snaps. However, despite being a good pass protector, Torrence is susceptible to speed rushers, and struggles with Blitzes. If the Bills are really intent on protecting the 258 million dollar man, Torrence is definitely worth a look.

• Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

A lot of NFL fans seem to have a passionate stance on drafting running backs in the 1st Round. To the ones adamantly against doing so know that Bijan Robinson is the real deal. A powerful runner with every juke, truck, stiff-arm and spin in his bag of tricks, Robinson is a home-run threat from the moment he touches the ball. A somewhat close comparison is a more physical Saquon. Both dudes who could take on a full defense effortlessly. The major difference being Saquon was more of a get around or over you kinda guy, while Bijan prefers to go around or through you. Regardless, if he is the selection at 27, Bills fans shouldn’t be upset, because he is the absolute cream of the crop in terms of RB prospects.

• Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M

With the Bills set to lose Safety Jordan Poyer this offseason, if the Bills really wanted to draft some more Defense, Texas A&M’s Antonio Johnson is worth considering. Johnson is a great run-defender, more than willing to engage RBs and others. He is a quick Safety with a high football I.Q, which is something Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott desires. His only real weaknesses are his troubles taking receivers deep and his known susceptibility to fall for double-moves. Johnson though could fill a need making him an option a pick #27.

• Jordan Addison, WR, USC

An athletic, speedy receiver with great route-running skill, USC WR Jordan Addison possesses all the skills to dominate at the next level. Whether at his previous home in Pitt, or in USC with Caleb Williams, Addison shined in college, winning the 2021 Biletnikoff award as the nation’s top receiver. Addison is very undersized for the position at 5’11”, so he would mainly be a slot WR, but if the Bills managed to land Addison, their offense would look different overnight. Definitely a prospect the Bills should consider, as Addison in the Bills offense would be a home run threat

• Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College

The second Wide Receiver to make this list, Boston College’s Zay Flowers is more of a catch-and-run receiver. Despite his smaller size, he is known to be a hellacious blocker and extremely physical, and adding a ton of muscle mass since his last college game will only add to that strength. Much like Jordan Addison, Flowers is still a little undersized. However, the two play two extremely different roles in an offense, with Addison playing the slot deep threat role, while Flowers would likely play more of a Beasley-esque safety blanket role for Allen, being able to run all different kinds of routes with some level of precision.

Final Thoughts & Acknowledgements

Writing this piece each year can be an arduous task, one that would be impossible if not for the team of writers behind it. For the third year u/ashth3great31 has provided an incredible Roster and Staff Review while u/ThisisSportacus is in their second year providing an insightful look at roster changes and possible 1st Round draft selections. I can’t thank both of them enough for taking so much time out of their busy schedules to contribute to something which provides little tangible reward.
I’d also like to thank the people who take the time to not only consume posts like this but also fan produced content in general. As someone who dedicates, far too much, time to producing content for NFL fans throughout the year I can say definitively that what makes it most worth it is the people who consume it.
As for this Bills season, it’s unlike any I’ve experienced before. On the one hand I really felt like “this is our year” while on the other I found myself just waiting for the next shoe to drop on what felt like a cursed season. While it was by no means a success for the Bills on the field, I take some solace in knowing that if even a few things hadn’t unfolded the way they did it could have been much much worse.
So to close this out I’ll ask one thing of non-Bills fans and another of Bills fans for the 2023 season. To the non-Bills fans please, I beg of you, sleep on this team. They are no good, they are regressing, they won’t win the AFC East, they won’t even make the playoffs, they will probably even have a Top-10 pick! For Bills fans my ask is that you heed a short and succinct suggestion from your Franchise Quarterback, Josh Allen.
Ignore them.
Go Bills, u/UberHansen

Am trying to think of other couples who have ended up being made fun of by almost everyone. Not just controversial couples -- couples where BOTH partners turned into punch lines and "oh no, not THEM again".
So far, here are a few that came to mind:
Rosanne Barr and Tom Arnold, photographed mud wrestling together, plus she had "PROPERTY OF TOM ARNOLD" tattooed on her body, among other things -- divorced.
Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, infamous sex tape -- divorced.
Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton -- wore flasks of each other's blood around their necks -- divorced.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott -- just a train wreck generally -- still married?
You can probably tell my age from this list. Are there more of these couples besides H and M?
Edited to add: How could I have forgotten Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn? They wrecked a family too. Still married.

The Cavs are looking to make a trade at the small forward position, prioritizing (IMO, in this order): shooting, perimeter defense, and size. Most of the trade rumors involve Caris LeVert's expiring contract being used to acquire a player signed past this season. In this post, I'll explain the one (realistic) trade I would love and why I think shipping off LeVert may not be as helpful as many believe.
Many names available or linked to the Cavs aren’t great fits or major upgrades. The Cavs have no first-round picks to trade so the best options likely aren't plausible. Bojan Bogdanovic would be great, but he's 33 years old & the Cavs are just beginning their potential contention window. Plus, other teams will likely offer more than the Cavs are able to. Malik Beasley & Tim Hardaway are much more attainable & provide the shooting the Cavs are looking for, but little else. Doug McDermott & Josh Richardson could be very useful if their skills were combined into one player but unfortunately that's not possible. Evan Fournier & Duncan Robinson have bloated contracts & aren't the players they used to be. Jerami Grant would be fantastic but he's not likely to be available & even if he was, the Cavs don't have the assets. Luke Kennard is likely staying put. Eric Gordon is 34 & only 6'3".
The one player somewhat likely to be available that I think would be PERFECT for the Cavs is Kyle Kuzma. There are many complications that make it unlikely: The Wizards aren't a guarantee to sell and other teams have more to offer. He would be very sought-after if available. Kuzma has a player option for next season that he's sure to decline, and he probably wants to test the market this offseason & get a big contract. But maybe the allure of being the missing piece for this Cavs team & competing for a title would get him to accept an extension from the Cavs that's somewhere in the ballpark of what he's looking for as a free agent?Kuzma fits everything the Cavs need. He's a solid shooter, a big wing, a good defender, a great locker-room guy, 27 years old, and he's had experience playing a role on a Championship team. The Cavs could work a 3-way deal in which they trade some combination of LeVert & Windler's expiring contracts, Wade, Okoro, and second-round picks. They'd likely have to take on a bad salary from a 3rd team & the money situation would be complicated. The Wizards or 3rd team would have to have a high opinion of LeVert, Wade, and/or Okoro. Losing Wade or Okoro would be sad as a Cavs fan, but I'd do it for Kuzma. Other contenders have first-round picks to trade, so as stated above, it's very doubtful the Cavs could make a Kuzma (or Bogdanovic or Grant) trade happen. But dreaming on it is fun!
As for the other options discussed above: It seems that the prevailing opinion on this sub is that shipping LeVert off for any shooter would be a huge upgrade. It's absolutely true that the Cavs need a true 3&D wing more than what LeVert provides, but I don't think it would be a difference-making move to move him for a player of Beasley or Hardaway's caliber. Dean Wade will be returning (soon?) & I believe he is just as good as either potential acquisition. Beasley is too small to start at SF, not considered a good defender, and his 3-point % has fallen over the last 3 seasons from 40% to 38% to 36%. Hardaway Jr is also small for SF, not considered a good defender & his 3-point % has fallen from 39.4% in 19-20 & 20-21 to 35% this season & last.
*I am going to defend Caris LeVert. Please prepare yourself*
I think this sub is too hard on LeVert. It's true that last season & early this season he struggled to find his role and wasn't the impact player the Cavs hoped they were trading for. But last season he got hurt early in his Cavs tenure & this season Donovan Mitchell's acquisition caused LeVert to play a different role than he has before in his career. I think because we all love so many guys on this Cavs team, LeVert is an easy target when the Cavs lose. OF COURSE it would be great if LeVert was a better defender and shooter. But I also think his mistakes get magnified in a way that doesn't happen for other players.
I think LeVert has worked really hard to change the way he plays and try to be the player the Cavs need him to be. He's not a lockdown defender, but he consistently puts in effort and has improved greatly. Damian Lillard was roasting the Cavs a few nights ago, but when the Cavs dominated in the last 5 mins & Lillard was mostly shut down, it was LeVert that JB Bickerstaff had guarding him. He's also active after the shot goes up, jumping to tip rebounds to his teammates or box out. The end of the Jazz game was a disaster but I think we all agree that it says more about the way the NBA is officiated now than any mistakes LeVert made (that flagrant was ridiculous). He's never going to be elite, but LeVert has locked in and overall become an above-average defender for the Cavs IMO.
LeVert is averaging 14/4/3 on 46/34/67 percentages over his last 20 games (yes, it's an arbitrary time period). But to me, he's found his role and is able to contribute as a jack-of-all-trades. He can score, pass, rebound and defend. The Cavs core-four + LeVert has outscored opponents by 8.5 points per 100 possessions in 160 minutes this season. With Isaac Okoro it's -9.2 in 118 minutes & with Lamar Stevens it's -2.9 in 153 minutes. Maybe this says more about Okoro & Stevens (Ice has made progress lately and I'm a Stevens stan!), but it's a fact that the Cavs core-four with LeVert has been good this season.
It would be great if Caris LeVert was a knockdown 3-point shooter or elite defender, but he's become a solid piece for the Cavs. As we all know, the Cavs are very short on draft capital, having already dealt all available 1st-round picks. Second-round picks & LeVert’s expiring contract aren’t getting the Cavs a clear upgrade IMO.
One thing that's important to consider is that LeVert's contract expires this offseason, unlike many of the potential trade options. If the Cavs don't trade LeVert & or re-sign him, it doesn't give cap space. They'll lose that salary slot because of how the NBA salary cap works. So the Cavs should definitely trade LeVert if they don't plan to sign him to an extension this offseason. But, I think the Cavs may be able to keep him for about the same money that Beasley & Hardaway would make & I think that option should be strongly considered. He would still have trade value in the future on that type of contract. I'm not going to be angry if the Cavs trade LeVert for Hardway, Beasley, or a similar player. They need shooting. I'm just not assuming it'll be an upgrade because I think LeVert is better for the Cavs than most of us give him credit for. But if the Cavs can somehow trade for & extend Kyle Kuzma or get another impact SF? I'd do just about anything that doesn't involve the core-four.
I didn't plan on this being so massive when I started typing but thanks for reading if you got through it all. Go Cavs :)
TL;DR: I'm dreaming on a Kyle Kuzma or other impact trade, but the Cavs likely won't be able to make it happen. The names that will be attainable have major flaws & I'm not sold on a lot of them. Though he still isn't a perfect fit, Caris LeVert gets more hate & less credit than he deserves.

I put this list together on a whim, after going through the ringer top-100 players, thinking about my favorite less-heralded players in the game. So here are my top-100 “role players” in the NBA. A few qualifications:

• Maximum 30 mpg
• Maximum 12 ppg
• Minimum 50% of team’s games played this season

That’s why you won’t see guys like PJ Washington, Kevin Huerter, or Trey Murphy III, their stats were outside of the criteria.

A few notes: I know I have a few Clippers really high. I love them (especially Zubac) so give me a break. I know a few guys (namely Mike Conley) don’t fit the traditional definition of a role player, but they fit the criteria I’d established so I put them in anyway.
I first and foremost valued things that make “winning” players, which I feel is some combination of shooting/playmaking and defensive versatility. If there was any one skill a player excelled at (paint protection and really high-efficiency 3pt shooting mostly), I took it into account. If they had a history of leading a team to victory or being a contributor to a winner, I took that into account too. This list is up to date as of this point in the 22-23 season.
I have a few rookies on here that have really surprised me. Tari Eason most of all, I can’t believe how well he’s started his career as just a glue guy and incredible defensive energy at all times. AJ Griffin is someone else who I know was supposed to be a good player coming out of high school but I also know slipped in the draft. Jabari Smith Jr would be on the list but he plays .5mpg and scores .1ppg too many (and he was also so bad to start the season I don’t know if I can trust the production yet).
Finally, I spent the last few days reading other teams’ subreddits to try and get a vibe of each player I had trouble ranking but wanted to include on the list. There are some (Jock Landale, Marvin Bagley to name a few) who are controversial among their own fanbase, so there’s a chance that several of these players are not liked by their fans. I try to watch games from every team so I think I have a pretty good grasp of who and who isn’t contributing to winning, but I’m sure I’ve missed stretches for some players. Anyway, this is all in good fun and I had a good time putting the list together. Thoughts? Guys who you would include? Insane guys who I included? I’d really like to hear other perspectives on role-players.
