  1. He obviously means 4th overall, not 4th round. Why must people correct everyone on every little mistake. Do you think you are proving you are smarter than the OP or are somehow being clever? It's so played out man. To answer your question, no. The only instance that I would consider it is if Watkins were available and they felt he was a considerable upgrade from Stevie. Also, I don't think I'd want to "throw in" a 7th rounder on top of a very solid WR and the 9th. Personally, I like Stevie and I never like trading a known commodity for unknown ones. We could always try to get another WR at 9 or in the second. If we do, and we like him after workouts and camps we could always trade Stevie for pick(s) in next years draft. There will be teams that wanted a top end receiver that didn't get one and there are always injuries in the season / training camps.
  2. Now that's funny! Anyway, OP, I'm around your age. Here's a summary for you. Strip Club / Casinos - Canadian Side of Niagara Falls Night Club type joints - Chippewa Street - Walking distance from Downtown Hotels More chill bars with lots of live music, friendlier people, fewer meathead doucebags - Allen Street area or Elmwood Area (which are pretty close to each other) has smaller bars (a step above hole in the wall type joints) that I enjoy much more than Chippewa these days. Short cab ride from Downtown (5-10 mins) and there are a few hotels around here too. I'd stay here if I were an out of towner, but that's just me. Wings - don't fall for the Anchor Bar crap, they suck. Duffs is where it's at and you can spend hours there drinking and watching sports as well. Hockey - Sabres games are great even when we suck. There are bars around the arena too that are not bad on game nights. As other's have noted, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT stay near the stadium, you'll be disappointed. Stay near one of the bar districts, you'll be able to stumble home without a cab and there are plenty of damn good places to eat as well. Besides wings, local favorites also include Ted's Hot Dogs (the name of a place), Beef on Weck (a type of sandwich served at a ton of places), Wings obviously, and there are some great pizza places too depending on where you stay (definitely go local over national chains). If you're looking to drop some cash and want steak Buffalo Chop House is where it's at. It's a nice place and pretty expensive but damn good. Have fun.
  3. 1. Johnny Manziel - Browns 2. Jadeveon Clowney - Texans 3. Blake Bortles - Tennessee 4. Khalil Mack - Jacksonville 5. Mike Evans - Tampa Bay
  4. He looks nasty doesn't he? I wouldn't want him pissed at me.
  5. Just saw on the Fox Sports 1 Ticker that he signed for a whopping $63,000. Quite the pay cut from the NFL. He either really loves football or is really broke already. I'm thinking the latter.
  6. Jarvis Landry WR LSU. Beckham gets most of the hype (and he's good, no doubt) but every time I watched LSU it was Landry coming up with the big plays at the big times. He just has a knack for clutch performances.
  7. Not nearly as bad as CNN has been with that flight that vanished. I would literally get alerts to my phone saying that there were no new developments, they had it as breaking news on their website for over a month and talked about on air for over a month non-stop with absolutely nothing new to report except idiots speculating the same scenarios over and over and over. I actually removed them from my favorites far, removed their app from my phone, and haven't turned on their tv station since. SNL even did a pretty funny fake commercial about it. It was unbelievable. No wonder their rating continue to plummet.
  8. If we go LB, it's going to be Mosley, not Barr.
  9. I actually meant to write "basically didn't even see the field at all." 9 games played with 5 receptions is not playing time. Adding to the "Things I Hate" thread...people that nit pick on the smallest little detail slips and punctuation errors on message boards.
  10. I say he certainly fills one of the teams biggest needs. Chandler is slow, drops more and more passes every season, and makes fewer and fewer great catches every season. Gragg is still extremely raw and didn't even see the field last year at all. Moeaki has basically missed 2 of the last 3 years because of injury and even when he played his best season was 47/556/3 in his rookie year. He actually regressed in his third season after missing his second season. To me, TE is a glaring need. In addition, I think that it's much easier to find other positions in the later rounds than it would be to find a game changing type TE. OL, LB, DB, RB, DL, all can (and have been successfully) drafted in the other rounds. I think it's fair to say OL is our weakest position right now. If our former OL player and OL coach, now Head Coach, can't spot a NFL starting caliber RT in the second or third round and develop him into a very good / great tackle then we have some serious issues at HC. I don't think that's the case. With the way the league has been going the last few years, TEs are a hot commodity and we will miss out on the game changers if we don't take one in the first via the 9th or a trade down.
  11. Tell that to Michael Vick, Aaron Hernandez, Aldon Smith, Rae Carruth, Plaxico Burress, Travis Henry, Sam Hurd, Johnny Jolly, Ryan Leaf, or any other talented NFL player who was able to perform on the field but was a P.O.S. off the field. Most were immediately cut by their teams, most never played again, and the rest never again reached their former levels of performance.
  12. Things I Hate: "Fans" who bash our 2nd year QB after he has played in a total of 10 games, threw more TDs than picks and was obviously on a minimized play calling set from the coaching staff pretty much the entire season. I mean seriously, calling EJ a bust already is simply ludicrous. Things I Love: Playing on Thanksgiving day this year (most likely). Opening Day at the Ralph every season, and this year will be extra special. Sunshine (usually), good times, and optimism.
  13. Don't really know the guys after round Wilder but I like the top 2 choices a lot and I like the positions you have drafted after that (except the punter in the 7th). Also, I would rather take a QB somewhere around round 4 or 5 (Murray, Boyd, McCarren someone like that should be around). Really, really like Ebron and Kouandjio. Then maybe we could get Arie Kouandjio in next years draft if he comes out and really shore up the OLine. 1. Ebron 2. Kouandjio 3. Brooks - S FSU 4. Murray - QB Georgia 5. Half Back - Thomas ORE?, not really sure who 7. OL - anyone If we're able to snag another pick late - L'Damian Washington Mizzou WR
  14. Uhhh...did you see when the Bills picked Manuel last year? They definitely spoiled it. While they didn't flat out say that Manuel was the pick, Schefter clearly said something along the lines of that "he's heard it's Manuel, or the Bills really like Manuel" or something like that just before the pick. It was a clear spoiler in my mind and ruined any suspense on who our next franchise QB was going to be when The Commish made the announcement.
  15. I've seen this mentioned a few times now. Since when does a new defensive coordinator dictate who we pick with premium picks? Sure he can have some influence, but no way is he deciding who we're picking #9.
  16. I did and I did go to one because of it. It was so boring we left at halftime. While they are developing a better program, they are still not even close to "there" yet.
  17. Not sure if you are referring to this or just him in general, but Leon is a player in this years Madden that comes up last minute in the draft storylines (they even use a picture of Deion for him). He gets an UDFA projection from the scouts and pundits. He then flat out dominates the passing game, is the fastest player in the whole game, and is the biggest wimp around as far as tackling goes. Pretty funny stuff.
  18. Our O-Line is not better, yet. We lost one of the best playmaking safeties in the league. Our QB has knee and accuracy problems. Our best WR drops clutch passes, and we just traded for another one with past attitude issues. Spiller looked like a shell of his 2012 self last season. Our seemingly dependable TE drops more and more passes each year (and fumbled away a victory). On other hand, another year of development, there is no way we have as many injuries in our secondary as last season, we seemingly shored up our run D, and we still have the draft left to add more. While we certainly could be in the mix, to seem so certain about it seems a bit crazy to me at this point.
  19. Well, we all know Jerry loves trading up for his guy (Bryant, Claiborne). If he's fallen for Evans, this could happen and Miles Austin is basically a worthless receiver at this point with his recurring hammy issues that will never fully heal.
  20. The guy is not on an NFL roster or even on anyone's radar for a reason. Whatever that reason is, if 32 teams don't want him, then I don't want him.
  21. I'm thinking 24: 6 Woods 5 Williams 4 Stevie 3 Goodwin 3 Moeaki 2 Chandler 1 Gragg and 10 picks. And I would be pretty happy with that if the running game doesn't completely collapse.
  22. I disagree. Image is everything to Goodell. He will come down hard on Irsay and make a point of setting an example of what is not acceptable as an owner of one of the franchises.
  23. Yes, it's called a Corporation. The fans could just buy stock in the corporation.
