Now that we have Shaq, I want to ask the defense minded posters a simple question: How the hell do we use him? Yes, I get that he is an edge rusher. But he is a rather different player than Mario Williams. How do you balance him with with a more speed rusher with Hughes, and two very different tackles in Dareus and Kyle. Do you try to get to the front you had with Pettine? Do you take a DE or NT and try to replicate the 46 defense? Something entirely different?

Honest question for people: what kind of front are we looking at if Hughes is opposite Lawson, and we are "fully pregnant"?

Thanks for the sneak peak Astro!

I remember reading about how he squared off with Stanley, and won. I'm hearing versatility, which I like.

Great edge rusher. I can live with it.

Only thing I can think of trading up for would be Lynch, and with all the talent he might slide. But at this point, if we can go four back, you do that.

Holy... Sorry for the fan boy moment but I'm a huge fan of your articles. You get a lot of redirects here already. I'm thrilled to see you on the board!

If that's true, they're idiots.

To your question, I think I can throw in my 2 cents. Bradford's base pay is $7 million this year. I believe the signing bonus stays with the team's cap space in case of trade and becomes dead money. $7 million for a Sam Bradford rental is not bad a QB needy team like the Jets or Broncos. Plus, they have Chase Daniel to be a mentor to slowly bring the pick along. If they were sure about a guy, the Eagles might maximize their picks this year.

Wow. I know I was talking about it, but yeah I guessed it for the Eagles

Strange, I just had the exact same feeling.

I see this as a possibility a whole lot more than the Bills. They have Bradford on a two year contract with almost no guaranteed money after this year, and I don't think much that would follow to another team if traded. If the Broncos are desperate, Bradford for the Broncos 1st is a bargain. 8 and 31 for 2 is not a bad haul.

That is "millennials". Points for irony. Really? That trade idea was on NFLN?

So, our 2nd or third string DE, who was behind Hughes might be a 2nd or third string OLB? DOOOOOOOMED. Hughes might have a similar body type to Terrell Suggs, who was a pass rushing OLB? DOOOOOOOMED

Wow. TBD getting wrapped up in a non-story. What a surprise. Seriously folks, I would A) Not worry about it until I actually hear it happens and B) Whaley has already said that every QB in this draft needs a year to develop. Let's say that's the case: we take Goff or Wentz at 2. Tyrod is still our starting QB. IF Taylor has a great year, there are always QB desperate teams willing to trade, especially for low cost players. If Taylor has a good year, but the Bills want to move on, they could tag and trade with a salary negotiation provision. If Taylor flames out, you have your backup plan.

"Tonight, I'd like to introduce a man. A successful businessman. A man with vision. A community builder. But sadly, my boss Terry Pegula can't come tonight, so here's Donald Trump"

Yeah. From what I hear, it's a similar story to Bradham: Nice start before the injury. After the injury he was moved from 3-4 WLB to 4-3 WLB. Now he's effectively being moved back. Hopefully one of two things happens: A) It becomes a "square peg, square hole" scenario or B) The Bills draft a promising LB who they eventually get to start.

Ehh, if they were going to have to get someone to do it, Rex has the charimsa to be likable enough and get out of the way for that D-bag. Part of me is hoping that Rex is there to troll the man as he's coming out in his opening speech. Just because Rex would do it.

I think it's certainly a depth need. And looking ahead, cutting Wood gives us the second most amount of cap space possible (after Kyle) I am certainly ok with taking developmental players, but I would be shocked if we use a high draft pick.

If you want to get in extra early for breakfast, I heavily recommend Miss Shirley's. A couple friends of mine are Baltimore natives, and this keeps topping the list. I heavily recommend the Crab Cake Benedict and Chicken and Waffles

It's an option for me too. This is actually the easiest way to get to a game this year, and since it's a home opener, I don't have to worry about weather. Could a get a TBD movement to go?

Really? I really respect your work, but I personally disagree with you. I mean, I know fixing the defense is the priority, and it would be nice to get insurance at QB, but I watched Sammy get thrown to in double coverage more times than I would have liked last year. Toss in Hogan leaving, and Woods and Goodwin in the last years of their contract I would have guessed at least a 3rd.

Well, it's not shocking to me that they aren't looking in round 1. Outside of Treadwell (who has some knocks on him too) I can't think of many WRs who are likely to be BPA at 19. What do you think, 2nd-3rd round? I would be ok with moving back in the first if we got one of those.

Thanks! I definitely think we need at least one WR, which is why I'm so confused about the lack of one at draft visits.

Because McNesby said that he would. Because they just, can, not let it go. It's a perfect stump speech for getting reelected.
