Thanks OP, nice to get the heads up on good reads. I do have an Athletic subscription, but like all things media here, I lag behind you forward scouts…FWIW, if anyone is on the fence, get the subscription and ask questions later. i, for one, would not have recalled that four LBs were taken in Round One of the 2018 draft, much less all their names and credentials since. FireChans: Perhaps you’ve found a statistical anomaly worthy of mention, maybe even further discussion, but clearly you can’t resist your Generation X, Z, whatever inclination to be hopelessly snarky. C’mon, man….

After watching his interview with Pat McAfee, “I want a BBeane jersey” tormented me the rest of the day…

“Cade Otton - A solid looking TE who would seem to have a decent ceiling and a low floor.” Is that what’s called ‘damning with faint praise’??

1. We’re talking here about this mock draft, not an overall philosophy of what wants to happen in reality. You’re proposing that taking the 12th most desirable OL in this mock is better than taking the 2nd RB…? 2. Saffold 3. Bates 4. Kromer I don’t disagree with the notion that the OL making progress this year would be really really desirable. Just making what is to me the obviously sensible choice given the previous picks in this (very) hypothetical scenario…

I’m with at least a few here who have little to no familiarity with these names. That said, watching the highlights of Tyler Smith, he’s obviously big, strong, quick but even to me didn’t really look like a tackle prospect. Kenneth Walker III, on the other hand, made my day. Call me simple, tell me I’m being my usual sucker for eye candy, whatever, but the notion of a possibly useful/future OL vs. an almost assured impact RB made it an easy vote. Glad I held off until I had some basis to vote… Edit PS: Motor has good eyes, quick moves, and is a tough nut when it counts, which I love him for. Walker looks to me like he is all of that, plus he brings a fluidity in his moves that reminds me of Fred Jackson…with speed that Devin/Freddie could only dream about.

I “bought you a beer” not because I have any particular agreement with what you propose, but because at least you offered up options, names, etc. instead of vitriol and/or bombast…. Cheers!

It would seem to be a no-brainer, unless he looked awful last year. Did anyone here see/hear anything about his action in those two games he appeared in?

My thoughts exactly!

Growing up we lived in northern Michigan in the summers; drank Stroh’s cuz they didn’t have Labatt’s up there yet. Dollars to donuts that Ralph drank Stroh’s, though. If I’ve ever had a UC it was probably someone else’s that I picked up by mistake…

You and Ralph would’ve been great belly up to the bar, arguing over who pays for the next $3 round of Stroh’s…

Thread of the week, imho…. Fantabulous! but what the heyho is that medallion all about?…I don’t have my readers with me…

Thanks for posting, OP! Nice to have a Bills’ win to watch in March!! My game balls to 97, 96, 46,78. Criqui/Trumpy = awesome Norwood not so much…

Aaron Donald is totally cosmic. (I know, stop the presses…) In spite of the years of accolades, I now see for myself (for the first time) how he makes playing DLine look like eating cotton candy…

If this were a regular season game, we would all have turned it off by now… booooorrrrring.

Hard to believe you’re old enough to type…

What’s that you say?…Kay covered in gravy?? Uh….Yum….!

Wish I could “buy” you two beers for this post…!

And, our eternal problem with games in the same slot as NE is that going to the (increasingly rare) bar that has NFL Ticket just guarantees hanging with a crush of (largely unmasked) Cheats fans.≥. Two weeks in a row of ‘watching’ the pathetic ESPN GameCast…sigh.

SO much better on the short stuff offensively

Excellent,Judon officially a Cheatriots POS.

Many thanks for the change of subject… PFNH’s schtick is a little much, and that whole conversation makes me retch…not to mention that pathetic video of Gronk. How was he not banned for life for that??

Not after tonight…

Also can just do nbcsports.com, works better than fox or espn most of the time.

Well I havn’t followed this thread as it developed, basically I don’t spend a ton of time on anything that isn’t All Bills All The Time, but a buddy of mine just sent this to me and it made me chuckle, so thought I’d throw it into the mix here. Apologies if it’s already in here somewhere…

Plus white throwback helmets?! Consider me blown….
