  1. Haha ok soon as I read this I was like yeah, lets do that haha. Here is the link to the results. I only asked the top 20 posters and why, didn't ask for the worst...yet...lol. https://chatgpt.com/share/680727f4-1a90-8012-a159-fd40588192d9
  2. Watched the whole thing on you tube that’s like an hour…amazing
  3. I’ve been down the rabbit hole using ChatGPT a ton the past couple months, but especially the last few weeks…it’s mind blowing.
  4. Haha well played
  5. Pretty much...its what happens when you don't have a QB. You could also say they bet the farm on Rodgers and this was the cost of that losing bet haha. I still can't believe a team with a SB contending roster mismanaged the QB position so badly this offseason hitching their wagon to this loon while all the other options went elsewhere. To be entering a draft with a legit roster but no real QB and not picking until the 21st pick is just wild to me. Yeah and he also fits exactly what that staff wants to run offensively. Assuming he is there at 6, I would be legit surprised if the Raiders don't take him.
  6. 🚨🚨🚨 * TRADE ALERT * 🚨🚨🚨 The NY Jets are trading the 7th pick in the draft to the Pittsburgh Steelers Jets Recieve: Picks 21 & 83 (2025 draft) plus Steelers 1st & 2nd round picks in 2026 Steelers Recieve: 7th overall pick @Doc Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers are now on the clock
  7. I totally agree on Graham, the "makes more sense" comment was directly related to which player makes most sense for the Jags specifically. Graham would still be an excellent pick for them, but after all they sunk into Trevor, addressing their glaring need at tackle makes more sense IMHO.
  8. Good pick, and I think he is very much in play for them at 5, at least he should be. I think he makes more sense than Mason Graham for them who is the most popular mock choice. They need to find out if they can make this work with Trevor, and that starts with the trenches.
  9. There is only 2 ways to fix the gross imbalance the 1 seed has over everyone else - roll back to 6 teams (never gonna happen) or add 1 team and get rid of the bye week for a top seed(s) by either allowing no bye weeks or give all 8 teams a 1 week bye to rest up for the postseason run. 1 team having a bye...playing 1 less game...and also having home field advantage and playing the lowest remaining seed is a MASSIVE lopsided advantage for the one team. Its the worst playoff imbalance in all of sports. There is no combo above 6 teams that allows for multiple teams to have a bye week. 7 doesn't work 8 doesn't as you would have 5 teams in round 2 If you increase bye teams to 3 - you have 5 teams in round 1 If you increase bye teams to 4 - you end up with 6 in round 2 and 3 left in round 3 9 doesn't work as you either have 7 teams in round 1 If you increase bye teams to 3 - you end up with 6 teams in round 2, leading to 3 teams left in round 3 If you increase bye teams to 4 - you end up with 5 round 1 10 doesn't work as you would end up with 5 teams left in round 3 If you increase bye teams to 3 - you end up with 7 round 1 If you increase bye teams to 4 - you end up with 7 in round 2 Its not possible to fix this gross imbalance without rolling back to 6 or increasing to 8 and getting rid of the bye week advantage for all teams by having no byes or everyone gets a 1 week bye (which is what they should do). Postseason is said to be when "The real season begins" - so give everyone a bye and let teams be as fresh/healthy as possible to increase the odds of putting on the best games. Being a top seed still gets the lowest remaining seed each round and home field, that is a significant advantage still.
  10. Jets have traded the 7th pick in the draft to the Bills for Mitch Trubisky. We are thrilled to steal him from those silly Bills and upgrade from the 9th pick to a guy who was the 2nd overall pick…and we spent way less than those stupid Bears did to get Mitch. This is why we are the goodest at QBs and everyone else is worstest than us.
  11. Yeah I could see a scenario like that and Jags would make sense, but who will be there at 30 that the Jags want enough to pull the trigger is the question. If I have to guess right now, I think CB is likely our first choice in the draft…mainly because the value at CB falls off a lot faster than DT and our visits seem to tip the scales that way. Don’t get me wrong, I want a stud at DT in the worst way, but it just seems like they are gearing up to address CB first. Maybe the Tre signing impacts their plans, but I doubt it.
  12. As it’s already been said, depends how the board falls. We need to really find a difference maker, so if the right one is there then make the move. I am personally hoping we make some move where we do get back in the 3rd…specifically because I think that is where we could get WR Donte Thornton. I dont think he lasts to 109 and I think the 2nd is too early.
  13. Hard pass. NFL doesn’t need it, and you can’t just keep adding more games, injury risk and physical toll on the players is way too high.
  14. Jets Cardinals Ravens
  15. Isn't this premature? Lol...saying goodbye now feels like saying your goodbyes now to someone who just got a terminal cancer diagnosis but still had a year and a half to live lol. That being said...I have only been to Buffalo once and got to go to home opener we lost to the Steelers a few years ago. One of the best trips and experiences of my life, my wife (then GF) bought me the tickets for my Bday in July and by the time we got there she was my Fiance. Best gift I ever got until my kids were born, and she is responsible for all of it...which is why I put a ring on it ha
  16. It's pretty clear that if we stay put at 30, there is a near certainty that we will come away with the first 2 rounds with both a DT and CB, in no particular order. Personally, I think the drop off at CB from 30 to 56 is greater than the drop off of expected DT's at 30 and 56. WR is clearly a need and priority based on their visits, but I don't love the value at 56, I think the value will be higher at both DT and CB at 56 than WR and not sure WR is BPA at our next pick either. So if I was to put a wager on the draft, it would be CB - DT order with out first 2 picks. While WR is clearly on deck, I am not expecting one in the 2nd round as I am not convinced that at either of our picks WR will be the best value. I can see one at 30 or a move up from 30 if the right guy was there, but I think its a much lower possibility than DB/DL. I think we are going to end up with a pick in the 3rd round...either regaining it through a trade back somewhere or using our large pool of day 3 picks to move up from 109. And I can see WR there and it wouldn't surprise me if it was WR Donte Thornton, he makes too much sense for us, they have had him in for private workouts and we seem to be showing a lot of interest. At 6'5" with 4.3 speed and good hands, he isn't likely reaching us at 109.
  17. Is it possible in a "trade back"...Sure, but not very. Reason is Grant will not remain on the board much longer if we pass on him at 30, to ensure we get him means it has to be a small trade back. And in any small trade back we are only looking at adding a day 3 pick to do so. Moving back say 3 spots is the equivalent of a late 4th essentially. And given we already have 5 picks in rounds 4 and 5, not to mention 3 more in the 6th, I don't see the incentive for Beane to risk losing their guy. For Beane to move back, I would think it would be in an effort to get a 3rd back since we do not have one, or its probably not worth doing unless there just isn't someone at 30 they feel compelled to take there. So looking at the draft order...the teams at the top of the draft in the 2nd also have top of 3rd picks, so the move back to their spots doesn't warrant that, so we would have to include another pick to make it happen most likely. Someone like Tenn doesn't even have a 3rd this year. A team like Jax could, especially having 2 3rds, but honestly, Grant is someone they could move up for themselves. While anything is possible...I really don't see a scenario where we move back and still land both Grant and Amos. Doesn't mean we cant move back and say land any DT and Amos for example, just your question was about these 2 specifically, assuming both are even still on the board when we pick of course. To land both, I think you would have to take Grant at 30 (as I think he would come off the board faster than Amos), then look to move up from 56 to somewhere inside the top 40 (lets just use Jax at 36 as a mid point) to get Amos, you are needing to make a 200 point move. Without having a 3rd, their really isnt any way to do that unless we use both our 2nds, so that gets a little dicier and our window is narrow on which teams have the spot and draft assets to make a deal work with us. Jax happens to be one of those teams, so for discussion sake, a move to get back up to 36 could look something like this: Bills send 56, 62, 109 (700 points) Jax sends 36 and 88 (690) Bills select Amos at 36 and then have a 3rd rounder still at 88 in lieu of an additional 2nd with a net loss of our first pick in the 4th. This is a palatable trade, and one I think Beane would consider. The issue is, there are just not a lot of these little perfect scenarios in the range where we could facilitate this for these 2 specific players. And of course, Beane has to cover both these guys and the corresponding team has to want to make the trade as well. What I think is more probable is we take Amos at 30 (or make a small trade back and still take Amos) and then they either let the board come to them at 56 for a DT or make a smaller move up to get the DT they covet most still on the board in a range where a 4th or even multiple day 3 picks gets us there without giving up our pick at 62. Not sure how you are applying those picks in terms of the trades, but the scenario I just laid out with Jax is similar except we wouldn't be trading our first, we would need to stay put and take Grant (as Grant IMHO likely comes off the board quicker than Amos after pick 30 if both are still there). But we would net both, and still have a pick in the 3rd for essentially the cost of a 4th.
  18. I mistakenly thought they had Grant in for a visit the way he is projected so frequently to us and talked about around here. But I just looked it up and it seems it was only the combine visit. So yeah, given that, I agree Beanes history shows it’s more probable going to be someone they had in for an official visit. And based on who that is, it certainly suggests corner is the more probable pick at 30. Plus obviously corner is easily our biggest hole, and the drop off at corner after 30 is steeper than DT where there will be good value at DT likely at our next pick still.
  19. Yeah, I think had Amos been available for the vote it would have been a close vote between him and Grant with how this board fell. And I think if the board fell this way in the real draft, one of those 2 would probably be the pick. While we have had success finding corners in the past on day 3, this team is too close and a serious SB contender right now for them to not prioritize the biggest hole on the team. So I think the odds of us not taking a corner in the 1st or 2nd this year are probably pretty low. As with any draft, how the board falls will dictate a lot of what happens at our picks, so nothing is certain, but I think its a pretty safe bet that we land a corner with one of those first 3 picks...not to mention using some of our extra day 3 capital potentially to move around to get one as well.
  20. Thanks for running these! Another great job! For the next trade up vote: Can you at least include some more realistic trade up options in the vote where we are using a 4th to make a smaller move up? We have a lot of day 3 ammo, I think using a 4th, or a 4th and change is more realistic than just the few costly options you had last time.
  21. What is the trade back by the way? How far back are we trading back and what are we getting back?
  22. I kept saying all offseason last year that Miami wasn't going to make the playoffs and I didn't think him or the GM would survive the season. But he got a lucky break getting that extension just before the season started which I then said would maybe be the one thing that saves him this offseason after they miss the playoffs, but he won't survive missing them again next year. And I stand by that still...I again don't think Miami makes the playoffs this year, and I think this regime, top to bottom, will be cleared out.
