The Best part about the draft is when it is over Yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

There will be at least 8 trades in the first round and at least one will involve a veteran WR. Lol...they said the same things about Jones before he was drafted and before they gave him that stupid contract extension

Agree with this. As we come out of the Hyde/Poyer/White/Diggs/Davis/Morse era, the focus needs to be on maximizing the next 5 year window (where Josh will be 28-32) instead of maximizing just next year. Maybe that involves getting Odunze at all costs, but I'm firmly in the "don't reach/overpay for a WR" camp. Obviously we need WRs, but it's more important to hit on impact players now and in future drafts. Ideal draft for me would be trading back to pick up a 3rd (Rich Hill chart shows the LV's 44 and 77 as roughly equal to 28), getting WRs in the second round and day 3, then still having 2 day 2 picks plus the rest of our draft to shore up the rest of the roster

I watched Bob Poppa on the giants draft preview last night and he kept saying that all the things that are being said about maye remind him of sam darnold. didn't sound like he thinks the giants like him very much anyway.

It really should be. Belichick may be a LOT of things but there is no doubt the man knows football. And when he gets to talk openly about the game he is spectacular. My only worry is I won't be able to tolerate McAfee or his crew for very long. They tend to get a bit grating for my taste. I think it depends on how they view Maye, Daniels or even McCarthy against the QB class next year. Even if the best worst case scenario hits and they have the #1 overall pick next year with the ability to pick the best in the class...if whomever is available in Maye or Daniels are better...you gotta take them IMO.

Pretty excited about this show tonight. Think it will be the best coverage tonight over ESPN and NFL Network. Sounds like Belichick will be revealing all the secrets and trade craft tonight. Should also be entertaining McAfee and Mad Mel.

The giants lost barkley and maybe waller. If they don't take a quarterback it would be shocking if they don't take one of the wr. They need weapons as bad as anyone.

It is a good day 1 and day 2 group IMO. I think in 10 years if you look back the top 120 this class will stack up well against the top 120 in other classes. I think day 3 is a bit weaker than normal, fewer underclassmen etc.

Our best hope for today is there is a run on OT, a reach or two on QBs, and defensive needy teams like Falcons stay true and draft defense. That pushes WR talent down and Beane can get a guy at 28. He probably will panic and jump up 8 spots or so and get Thomas or Worthy. That's his MO.

I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I’d prefer, in order: 1) Trade back, grab a WR 2) Trade up to 8-10, grab a WR 3) Pick a non WR at 28 if the value dictates it. 4) Draft a WR at 28. This is all generally speaking, of course, it depends on how the board falls. Only WR that can reasonably be gotten at 28 who I’d take there is BTJ. I don’t think he’s falling that far. I like Robinson there if he’s available. And while I love Latu’s game I just can’t get behind selecting him earlier than, say, the 3-4th. Everything I’ve read says that his fusion surgery has an average shelf life of 3-4 playing years. He's a ticking time bomb and has already used up most of those years. Maybe someone gets lucky but let another team take that gamble.

Its sounds like a great idea but there are real consequences to Americans rarely discussed or understood. Seizing and freezing foreign assets held at US commercial banks or the Fed have resulted in asset transfers out of US custody and into gold and other currencies held outside the US banking system. This will accelerate the process of replacing the current standard with another standard such as SDRs or a return to some form of gold backing. While people want to believe that military might is what keeps the US in control its actually the reserve and trade settlement status of the dollar that facilitates it all. Lose that and the consequences of borrowing and spending lots of money you don't have become immediate. No more passing $90B borrow and spend bills to feather the nests of defense contractors and suppliers. All this mostly plays into the hands of one country, China.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Dems...

😂 Ill be watching Belichick covering the draft on the McAfee Show Special tonight. Should be the best coverage over the fools on ESPN and NFL network.

Correct.

I am in 111 and got a call last Friday from a Legends rep that was looking to dispel rumors and put my mind at ease. I asked him what the policy was for deciding who gets a shot a Super Bowl tickets and he said it was a league policy and the Bills have no control over it. When I asked what the policy is, he didn't know. Not very transparent in my opinion. Probably will end a run since '77, just doesn't make sense to be paying for the right to buy tickets until I'm 79 years old.

Good let some team make a mistake on him. If he was that elite Harbaugh would have thrown the ball more. I'm going to guess many of those third down throws were manageable distances where there was still a threat of the run. That doesn't happen in the NFL. Anything longer than 3rd and 2 in the NFL and teams are throwing and the defense knows you are throwing it.

Conald was corrupt before his tenure in the White House. He remained corrupt during his presidency. And Conald continues to be corrupt today. Donnie, are you suggesting that after nearly 250 years as a country, presidents require immunity now? GTFOH

At the very least it was what the Dems did all throughout his Presidency: take the opposite position from him, even if it made them hypocrites (and it usually did).

Pats trading out of that spot and getting an OT few picks later perhaps with Minnesota #11, 2nd and next years first would be a good move by Pats.

Thanks…it’s why I put reach in quotation marks. So with that being said what’s your gut feeling of how this year stacks up against other recent draft classes? It seems like a good one to me but it may because I’ve focused on QB (like everyone does every year) and WR being a position of Bills need.

Griffey too

Aiyuk isn’t listed as a success. The list is useless. This isn’t a difficult concept.

There is a good argument for trading up. There is a good argument for trading down. History shows that (on average) higher picks have a much better success rate, and less chance at busting. History also shows you can still get elite players later, and more picks gives you more chances at getting it right. I'm torn on which strategy I think is best for the Buffalo Bills right now. On one hand, the team is severely lacking top level talent. If someone was to ask who the All-Pros were on this team over the last 3-4 years, that list would include Stefon Diggs, Tre White, Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde... all gone. Outside of Josh Allen, the only top guys we have left are Von Miller (who may be done) and Matt Milano (coming back from a major leg injury). The hope is that young talent like Dalton Kincaid, O'Cyrus Torrence, Tyrell Bernard, etc. will step into those roles. But it's hard to argue against making a bold move for a guy who many think can be a Top 5 guy in the NFL for the next decade. At the same time, trading up will almost certainly cost starting talent at other positions. We could use help on the Defensive Line and Safety, and less Day 2 picks makes it much tougher to address. We would also be putting all our eggs in one basket... which as many have pointed out, could turn out like Sammy Watkins. He was also supposed to be a star, and looked the part early. His career was derailed by foot injuries, which isn't something anyone can predict.

It's 21 true first round grades. It doesn't mean half the league will reach. Every board will be different and some of those I see as high 2s will be 1s for teams where they are looking at a specific skillset and team fit. But also if you are a team drafting later in the round and the first round grades are gone and you take a high 2nd round grade that isn't a reach. That happens in every draft. I don't see a fit for him. I have been on him for the Jags all offseason but Im being told be people with a history of being right on them that they are lasered in on corner. Add that to the medical concern and I don't think it is crazy that he gets to #28 or close to that range and someone (the Bills or someone else) trades into the earlier 20s to take him
