    I like Richardson, but prefer Star due to the background of him having played under McD in Carolina.  We'll see of course, but I just think the FO and head coach know more about what they are getting with Star, what to expect from him in the locker room so on and so forth.

    knowing what you're getting is important .... all kinds of bad character guys in the NFL nowadays... no one says anything bad about anyone due to the $$ involved

    Peteredman was picked too early by Bills.  He should have been a 7th round developmental player and they should not have depending on him being backup to TT who tends to get injured.

     

    Jones needs a new mentor; his Eastern Carolina coach was not able to help him raise his game to the NFL level.

     

    White, Dawkins and Milano were successes and Vallejo has potential as a depth player.

    wasn't his ECU coache's f ing job to groom him for the NFL.

    Darnold is the ONLY QB worthy of a trade up. Not Rosen, Mayfield or Allen. But a lot will change after the combine.  I'd still consider Rudolph and the best DT at 21/22.

    Darnold has top 10 arm talent, and that includes the NFL.   He is pretty special player.  They won't get him, but he should be very good in the NFL.

    So I tuned into WEEI to listen to the Patriot fans complain about the loss tonight only to find old Buffalo Bill Fred Smerlas.  Man he is terrible to listen to - like Donald Jones terrible.  But the show got really bad when his co-host brought up the Malcolm Butler situation.  Fred made about 100 excuses for why Belichick's decision to bench Butler was a baffling decision. 

     

    Aside from that, he made countless excuses for why Nick Foles destroyed New England.  Fred is probably my least favorite ex Bill.  Now he's a Patriot apologist.  It's only fitting.

    The guy went to BC you fool.  He is from that area.   Man,  Bflo people really acting out today.

    Maybe the pegulas are learning. Plus I'm pretty sure Russell Brandon was still a big part of the bills at that time. I'm willing to bet beane and McDermott pretty much have full control at OBD 

    good.  out with the old and in with the new.   trust the process

    For the Bills 2nd Super Bowl trip, to play the Redskins, "Mission Minneapolis" was the promo name used by all the local TV stations for their pre-game reports during the 2 weeks before the game.  They were actually quite interesting as they visited bars, restaurants, long time Bills fans, original Bills from the 60's, screen print shops pumping out the hats, sweatshirts & tees with the Super Bowl / Bills logos and travel agencies booking game packages.

     

    Can anyone remember remember the promo names for the other THREE Super Bowl Games???

    ancient history.   let it go.

    Here's the 55th to 63rd picks this last year:  

     

    Giants Dalvin Tomlinson (16 starts)

    Raiders Obi Melifonwu (1 start, 5 games played)

    Texans Zach Cunningham (13 starts, 16 games played)

    Seahawks Ethan Pocic (11 starts, 16 played)

    Chiefs Tanoh Kpassagnon (1 start, 16 played)

    Cowboys Chidobe Awuzie (6 starts, 10 played)

    Packers Josh Jones (7 starts)

    Steelers JuJu Smith-Schuster (7 starts, 14 played)

    Bills Dion Dawkins (11 starts, 16 played)

     

    That's only one guy who started all sixteen. And only three with over seven starts. It's certainly possible, but third rounders often need a bit of seasoning.

    great way to look at it.  thanks.   Looks like Beane won the 3rd round last year

    According to the point chart #21 and #22 should be able to get us to #7. Into the top 10 at the very least. If there is a player there we think can be THE man, then you definitely move up and get him.

     

    The suggestion to keep spinning our wheels at the QB position is extra ironic coming from "8-8 Forever" :P:thumbsup:

    21 and 22 don't get you to 7, at least from the chart I was looking at. Based on what I say, would have to throw in one of the 2nds at least.   I guess there are a quite a few charts.   which one are you looking at?   if 21 and 22 get you to 7, then, maybe yes.  Can't believe they are looking at 6 foot Mayfield.  Yeah, you're probably right, no QB , no success in the NFLand you are 8-8 forever.   we shall see

  9. i don't want to move up for a QB anymore.  that ship sailed when both our no 1s fell out of the top 20, IMO.   The price of success.   Grab BPO or BPO-QB at 21 and be done with it.  Trust the process.  Go get a FA QB.   McCarron or someone to compete.   If it isn't for Darnold, who you can't get to anyway why bother trading up?    Get Kyle Williams - type players and go win 10 games next year.   they did it this year with a crappy roster, next year should be at least that roster.

  10. I like McBeane.   They are a team.   McDermott doesn't report to Beane in a traditional sense.   Beane does the business side and McD coaches the players.   They both do personnel decisions and they both effectively work for the Pegs.   Anyone who tries to orient this as Beane has hiring and firing rights over the coach is in all likelihood wrong.  They are a two headed monster.    Beane has no coach-hiring skills.  He's never done it.   Doubt if he would even know how to do it.   He's a personnel guy who goes and gets the players the coaches need for the schemes they are running.  If anything, from a purely on-the'field football perspective, the GM reports TO the coach, not the other way around.    Beane didn't hire Daboll, McD did.   KB came in FA because McD said it was ok, not bc Beane dictated it.   

     

    They are a team.  McBeane works.

    Two 4th down bombs and a garbage time TD when Jax was in their typical "try not to lose" 4th quarter mode.  That was a deceptive 42 points.

     

    It's actually difficult for an OC to fail when you're handed Big Ben, Bell, Brown, and the rest of that offense.

    yeah the chips fell well for them... Bell and Brown weren't super highly regarded coming out .  the draft is a crapshoot after round 1.
