At this point I’ll guess Bryce Hall or Noah Igbinoghene I’ll post my 2020 board come draft week

I’m usually not a fan of putting a TE on the field that isn’t a threat to catch the ball; if I’m going to do that I’d rather play a 6th OLman. That said, Thad Moss (Randy’s kid) can block really well as an in-line guy. He’s not in Smith’s class, but he’s a better athlete.

Mine is electronic, but yes. I do a straight vertical board first with standard 1.0-8.0 grade. Then I stack the draft board with a positional value multiplier incorporated. And that’s basically what I draft from... you know, in theory. Thanks. Nod to @Blokestradamus and @P51 who also do very detailed boards.

Hmmm...maybe my memory is failing me, but how did Buffalo’s first score of the 2nd half get set up?

He’s not really banking on anything per se; he’s got two RTs in the mix without Williams.

I would hold on RB at this point. Wait until after the draft, as there could be greater opportunity to make a value trade.

He is almost certainly a better OT4 than Ryan Bates. Dude was a 2nd team all-pro in 2017.

I expect improvement from Ford for sure...and I’m very happy that they have two proven vet RTs in the fold in case he collapses.

Not sure what is defined as “young” these days, but their oldest starter was 28 in 2019. Assuming Ford starts at RT, their ages would be (from left to right): 26, 29, 28, 28, 24.

I think that’s a bit presumptuous. Nsekhe was that laying more snaps than Ford before he got hurt, and I reckon this will be a case of salary-tells-all. Dawkins was brutal at RT in the ‘17 preseason; I doubt he’s much more than an emergency option there. Also, if Bates has to play tackle they’re in real trouble. He got absolutely abused by the Jets in week 17. He’s passable as an interior swing guy and an OL7 in goal-line formations.

That Diggs slant and Beasley drag-whip-option combo at the goal line is going to be nightmare fuel for teams to defend. Add to that Josh’s almost-automatic running ability from inside the 5 and DCs are really going to have to sharpen their respective pencils against Buffalo’s RZ offense.

No, no it isn’t. I promise that $25k goes further than $25.

Beasley is going to put people through the meat grinder from the slot. He’s just really tough to cover with all of that space. And the fact that Diggs can play from the slot with Beasley outside on occasion will definitely help in goal-line and short-yardage situations where you need quick separation.

Brutal. He was a great Shout Box personality and a true Bills’ fan. God bless.

Ah yes, the guy that scored 29 of the team’s 35 TDs last year is what’s holding them back...and in dramatic fashion no less!

Don’t be ageist bruh ?

A little trivia here... Who had more sacks in 2019: Ngakoue or Addison? How about in 2018? How about over the last 4 years, the time from which Ngakoue entered the league? I agree about Josh taking a step and adding a home run threat in the backfield (like my boy Darrynton Evans), but I think they checked the vet pass rusher box already.

Probably best to Google the study; I won’t do it justice. As for the attempts thing, I did a bit of digging while dinner cooks... Looks like there were 8 teams with a positive “average lead per drive” in 2019 (per Football Outsiders). Of the 8, 5 of them ranked in the bottom 8 in the NFL in pass attempts, so maybe playing with a lead played into it some. Yes, you did say total TDs, then you amended it. And no, I didn’t change anything. You wanted to point out that on a per-game basis he was bottom-5. I said that if you’re looking for context that you need to factor in attempts. Re completion percentage, that must be why Derek Carr’s team represented the AFC in the Super Bowl; I mean, he did lead the conference in completion percentage!

So wait, if total TDs is the only thing that matters TD-wise, why fight back against the fact that Allen was 21st and try to campaign that any additional context is required? And why pick those stats? If you’re looking for a correlation to winning, there was a study a few years ago that concluded that Adjusted-Net-Yards-Per-Attempt was the stat most closely correlated with winning. Actually, he was 21st in attempts, and he was 21st in passing TDs, so that would seem to be a solid correlation on the surface.

I only know that P-F-R calls a drop a pass that could be caught with a “reasonable (i.e. non-infamous Odell Beckham Jr.-MNF catch) effort”

TDs per pass thrown is no more or less obscure than TDs per game. And yes, someone did make that claim. Erroneously. For about the 487th time. Yeah, not sure why per-attempt is somehow obscure but per-game isn’t. Not sure, but I’d like to see it too. Have to imagine that P-F-R is at least being consistent in their application of the stat.

Fletcher Cox?

Not at anywhere near the same rate. Allen’s rate of drops (7.2% per PFR) is 16% higher than the next closest (Dak at 6.2).

Option years are not guaranteed, so you can pull it or cut him at any time prior to the 2022 league year. There’s zero risk.

It’s pretty simple: in order to make an argument about how efficient a QB is, one argument takes into context opportunity to score by throwing while the other looks purely at mass.
