  1. In my mind, the player with the best chance of making multiple Pro Bowls, who will be available at #9, is Dalton Risner. The question becomes, is a RT or OG worth taking in the top-10. I'd much rather trade down & take him in the 12-15 range, but I'd hate to see him go on to have a HOF career for an AFC rival because we gambled on some "high ceiling" DT.
  2. Yep, Ebron was the last "Complete TE" draft prospect. He went #9 to the Lions, and in 4 years in Detroit became merely a marginal starter, despite being in a passing offense. He did literally nothing to justify being drafted in the first round, let alone top-10, and was run out of town. It seems like most 1st round TEs disappoint. I'd feel better drafting one in the 2nd or 3rd round.
  3. Wow, he looks a lot better than I expected. Moves really well. It's clear from these highlights that he's much better at Guard than Center, but either way, this guy is a major upgrade from Miller or Ducasse. I see this move is a contingency plan for if we don't land a top FA OL. The backup plan would probably be Bodine at Center & Long at Guard.
  4. Love this... except trading up for AJ Brown. He'd certainly be there at #40, I think we could nab a much better WR than Brown at #33.
  5. I'd be cool with this draft. Hadn't really looked at Isaac Nauta much until now, but he looks like a stud. Really underutlized in GA's passing game.
  6. Murray has a pic on his instagram of him standing with Antonio Brown & Hollwood Brown, who are both listed at 5'10". Kyler is definitely 1-2 inches shorter than both of them.
  7. This is a fantastic quote. Even if DK absolutely tears up the Combine, it doesn't change the fact that he hasn't done much as a WR. Past Bills regimes would've definitely overlooked that. Let's hope McBean know what they're doing.
  8. It looks like the outer edges of the photo are stretched, which is common with cell phone pics. Look at his right arm in particular, it looks the outside edge of the pic is definitely stretched & makes him look wider. He's still huge, but that's a misleading pic. If he were in the middle of the pic, he'd look more like we'd expect.
  9. Demaryius Thomas had already lost a step before tearing his achilles. Recovering from that injury at age 31 is extremely difficult, even most young guys never regain the same explosion. I'd stay far away.
  10. OL is much easier to find in free agency. If we sign 2 guys, that frees us up to wait until the 3rd round for OL & take WR or TE early. I'd much prefer that route.
  11. There are probably 8-10 WRs in the draft with higher upside than Tyrell Williams. Signing him (and overpaying) would be really stupid. We'd end up with a marginal WR2 while watching guys we passed on to do so become top targets on other teams. It'd be the equivalent of us signing Terrelle Pryor in 2017 coming off a 1000 yard season, and passing on JuJu & Cooper Kupp in the draft because "our WR needs are now met".
  12. Hell No to Funchess, he's a turd who cannot separate. We already tried our hand & lost with a big, slow WR from Carolina. I think Beane is sis smart enough to stay far away. Tavon Austin would be pretty useless here, except on special teams. Same goes for Cordarelle Patterson. I'd be cool with anyone else on that list.
  13. He's a 3rd year QB. Let's not act like he's a rookie, he's a 3rd year starting player with 2 Pro Bowls. His performance was indicative of the player he is, not his age.
  14. I was really disappointed that Wade didn't make any adjustments on Edelman. He continued to allow Edelman to stay open in the short zone without spying him. Brady's arm isn't what it used to be, make him throw downfield more & it's a different ballgame.
  15. I have a sinking feeling that the Rams control the game, but it starts to slip away in the 4th quarter, ultimately decided by a phantom Roughing the Passer penalty on Brady, giving the Pats a chance to win it in the final seconds.
  16. This draft is literally the best case scenario. I would go absolutely nuts if we got those top 3.
  17. LOL at him being a #1. I think he has some work to do to even be considered a #2, but I can't blame him for saying it as he enters free agency. I think he'd be decent addition, but if wants anything close to WR1 money, he can keep walking.
  18. I really like Andy Isabella. He's had great production despite his size, inclusing against top competition. Forget measurables, he'll be a star for somebody. He's one of those non-first round guys that just screams success at the next level, that we ususally pass on. I remember having the same feeling about Jordy Nelson.
  19. It's Risner for me too. The dude is a freaking animal, he'd be such a perfect addition. I'm even starting to be OK with taking him at #9 if we can't trade down a few spots. His performance this week has made him a top-20 lock.
  20. Does anybody think Mahomes would've embraced Buffalo the way Allen has? If we had drafted him, and he still somehow developed here the way he did under Reid, we'd probably have been forced to trade him a year before his rookie deal was up because he'd want to test the market.
  21. Agreed. If McBeane passes on somebody like Ed Oliver for a marginal OL prospect, we're in trouble.
  22. Ebay has signed & authenticated Reed jerseys for $99. Depending what he's charging plus buying a jersey, it's probably cheaper to just buy that & go meet him for free.
  23. Bodine was ok at times, awful at others, but never good. He's not a top-32 Center in the NFL. That said, he was much better than Groy. We really need to upgrade Center, but I agree with keeping Bodine 1 more year as depth. Groy can walk.
  24. Flacco to Washington makes sense in that he wouldn't even have to sell his house to go there. They could tailor the offense more toward his skill set, and include more play action & deep shots. I think if Eli even wants to come back, he will be encouraged to retire. I could see NYG trading for Carr. No idea on the Raiders. Could Gruden see Bridgewater or Tannehill as a WCO fit?
  25. I'm in the Chicago area. I was a Bears fan by default as a kid, but officially adopted the Bills as my team in 88'. I don't have any other teams I root for, Bills only. I feel no emotion whatsoever for the Bears, they're the same as any non-rival team to the Bills to me. When they missed that FG yesterday, I honestly didn't care one way or another. I can relate of course...
