From his lips to the FSM's ear holes... I would prefer Rosen at #2, but if Darnold is there instead, I think you pull the trigger.

Just to note, the guy who likes to talk about dirty, blue collar jobs went to college and received his degree in Communication Studies and then went to work as a TV host. He sang professionally in the Baltimore Opera. He has a pretty extensive White Collar job history for the entirety of his life. That isn't to say that he hasn't worked hard at his profession, or put his time in. I don't want to take away from his success, which he has rightfully earned. But it's a little jarring to see this "Life isn't fair Rah Rah" stuff from him, knowing that he's advocating for an approach he didn't have to live.

He had pretty decent numbers his rookie year, but it helped a lot that he had a fantastic O-line and RB. I am curious to see how he does in 2018, but I agree that he is good, not great. There were people clamoring in Summer 2017 that the Eagles had made a horrible mistake betting the farm on Wentz when they could have taken a shot at Dak. No one is saying that now.

As an analogy, I'll take it. Now, what I want is for the Bills to take a gamble to trade up to #2 and take Rosen. But that requires the Giants to be willing to play ball, and even then there is a chance that Cleveland fakes us all out and takes Rosen a #1. If that falls through, and the Bills are looking at #22...I could live with it. It would mean almost no hope of playoffs in 2018 (our supporting cast is nowhere as good as the 2016 Cowboys), but I could deal with it. I really don't think they will be upgrading. They stuck with Romo for all those years, and "good not great" and cheap is a good combination.

I remember running up to the draft that year, Philly pundits were a bit skeptical. The take was that he had all of the raw tools, but he had played in Division II. How would he hold up against superior competition? Of course, he did have a bit of a rocky 2016. But he clearly made a leap forward in 2017.

I would be, for reasons already mentioned: we still have a second and third this year to fill in gaps (O-line, WR and LB) And Rosen. Definitely Rosen.

Definitely more than a lot of people in PPP

I'm not sure who you are talking about when you say 99% of viewers. Just one Patriot ball washing announcer.

I hope you got your money back.

It's a pity, but I think you can get a solid MLB in the second. We certainly needed an upgrade.

And that's fine...when you working salaried. Not when you are hourly and don't get those extra benefits.

I am seeing some crazy logic that they would not draft Barkley because they drafted Hyde. Hyde, at this point, is a change of pace back.

Really? Because most millennials I was in classes with went into STEM fields, and they can't get anything other than an entry level job with 5-10 years practical experience. I lot I know work a side gig, or have two jobs. When I hear "entitled" it's usually part of a story like, "and so I asked him to come in on his day off, with no notice, and then he had the gall to ask that we pay him overtime because he was pushing past 40 hours. I told him we would roll those hours to next week so we don't have to report overtime. (I personally had this happen to me multiple times before I graduated). Can you believe the entitlement?"

I AM a millennial (an older one), and so is every player in the draft this year. Pointing out Rosen in particular is stupid, because you can make that argument for each and every player out there. "Millenial" has become Boomer code for "I don't understand it, and I don't like it, and it's someone younger, so let's call it a Millenial problem"

I think all of the first round projections have some warts, but that is what was said about Goff and Wentz. The ones for Rosen are injury history and "he's a millennial", the latter of which is so stupid and lazy I can't believe it.

F5 F5 F5 F5 (For the record, he is who I currently want us to take.)

WGR has said that he is a journeyman

Just heard something about Julian Stanford at LB?

Nor should it have been. Cousins was the only UFA worth getting, and we have seen the contract he is getting. It has always made much more sense to prioritize drafting a guy, or trying to swing a trade.

I have come around on Foles. If we are offering the Cleveland 3rd, we are effectively getting a player at Tyrod level at a lower price. He would be an ok bridge while we look for a rookie.

I could believe it. Philly has to be realizing that their suitor pool is drying up, and I think Beane plays hardball and doesn't move down.

I have a sneaking feeling that we are waiting for the Glenn trade to be official.

I'm curious about the money, especially with him coming off an injury. Supposing that it's reasonable, I think it bolsters a weaker position. I'd prefer that we will in the positions you mentioned as well. Assuming we use both of our 1sts to get our QB., at least one of each in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, that doesn't leave a lot of gaping holes. I would use the 4th and 5th rounders to go DT and RB.

So far, no details are in
