Let me be the first to welcome Mr. Samuel Watkins to Buffalo. Reports cropping up that he'll be in town tomorrow. Fingers crossed we find a way to land him come May.
Stupid mock aside, this does raise an interesting question: Would Brandon and Whaley do something bold like trade next years 1st to move up knowing that their jobs basically hang on the outcome of this year? In other words would they mortgage the future to win now to ensure that they "the guys" when new ownership takes over?
The fact that we are debating Bon Jovi v. Donald Trump just blows my mind. Seriously, sit back and think about that and how ludicrous it is for a minute. Really laughable. I sincerely hope something else breaks or someone else steps up soon. I'm not sure I can take anymore of my uninformed friends and family asking me about the prospective ownership of these two.
Let us not forget, they are all but guranteed to pick-up some vets post draft/June 1st cuts. They do it every year and will surely fill remaining holes, including possibly back-up QB at this time.
I find it funny/interesting that the Bills editorial team put the word "elite" in front of Jake Matthews in their website write-up/Facebook post. Like they need to do everything they can to sell us on the idea of drafting a RT at 9.
Makes total sense. The Titans little game, if true, definitely kicked up a little S storm throughout Buffalo's talking head community.
We'll, however, see if this changes tomorrow when CJ 2k officially hits the market.
This is how we have to operate. We went after Britt. Didn't work. We went after Jackson. Didn't work. These other guys had options and didn't sign with Buffalo. Getting Williams in a trade for a 6th allows us to grab a guy without having all of the other free agency dynamics come into play. I'm all for pulling out the stops.
This is interesting from another draft perspective. This now makes Tampa much more likely to take Watkins (if available) or Evans at 7, thus forcing another top talent down the board to us at 9? Tackle perhaps?
I thought this was going to be another crackdown on beer funnels, drinking games or open containers at the Ralph. From moving back the time the stadium lot opens to disallowing short buses, I'm sure we'll see another round of that as the season approaches.
