    You said you don't see the big deal, followed by exactly why it's a big deal.

     

    The No. 2 overall NFL draft pick of the San Diego Chargers in 1998 worked for the Pac-12 Network last season and has been co-hosting a show on SiriusXM's Pac-12 channel.

     

    The 43-year-old Leaf, a native of Montana, said he reached out to former players who had made the transition to television, such as Joel Klatt, Brady Quinn and Kirk Herbstreit, and they allowed him to shadow them on assignments.

     

    Leaf credited Fox NFL reporter Jay Glazer for supporting and mentoring him as he attempted to enter the business; Steve Cohen, vice president of sports programming at SiriusXM, for building a show around him; and ESPN coordinating producer for college football Ed Placey for guiding him through the process with the all-sports network.

     

    Leaf shadowed ESPN's Greg McElroy, another former college quarterback who has been a hit on television, when McElroy called the Washington State-USC game in Los Angeles last season. That led to an audition in March.

    Game, set and match !!!!

    Yup.  It’s a good story but people with less resources end up on the street, jail, or dead.  I’m happy for him but he had it much easier than most addicts. 

    Life of the party ?

    "This roster needs to be seriously overhauled"...........said no one when Rex was fired.

     

    McBeane created that narrative from scratch..........much to the delight of SB contending teams all around the NFL.:thumbsup:

     

    Same with the salary cap nonsense..........Beane in an interview the other day said that he "warned" The Pegs it would take "2-3 years" to clean up the salary cap "mess".........and then patted himself on the back for getting it done in just 2.?    The guy created the LARGEST AMOUNT OF DEAD MONEY by one team in one offseason in NFL history!...........OF COURSE he totally re-set the Bills cap in 2 offseasons.:doh:   Hilarious.  :lol:   

     

    The Bills salary cap issues were relatively minor........they still had average money to spend in FA and they always figured to have plenty of extra cap space in 2019-2020 when the old men McCoy/Wood/Clay type contracts would surely all be off the books.   But somehow ended up having to replace all of Nix and Whaley's remaining top picks(except Shaq!) AND doubled down on Wood and McCoy and lost. 

     

     

    I hope these guys make it but if not expect a lot more of that kind of manipulating of the truth from McBeane as they try to buy more time to learn from their mistakes.

    But McBeane does make the draft fun ! It's the autumn where all hope ends, again

    Who Should Be Next On The Wall Of Fame?

    Ryan Talbot and the crew at NY Upstate recently wrote an article ranking 10 ex Bills who deserve to be on The Wall Of Fame aka “the shield that guards the realm of men.”  He is clear the list is only based on the on-field accomplishments.  But you know how that goes.  

     

    https://www.newyorkupstate.com/expo/sports/g66l-2019/05/ca1467fe036e4/whos-next-for-buffalo-bills-wall-of-fame-ranking-cornelius-bennett-kyle-williams-more.html

     

    To say the least - there are some interesting rankings.  I feel that Aaron Shoebel is ranked too high and Fred Jackson and Kyle Williams are more deserving that Shoebel.  I don’t really know enough about Butch Byrd.  Eric Moulds and Reuben Brown are great choices

     

    The surprise to me is Cornelius Bennett ranked #1.  For his on the field contributions, I would agree he should be ranked toward the top as next selection.

     

    But in 2019, I think Bennett would be a very tough sell given the fact that he pleaded guilty to misconduct over an incident that happened in downtown Buffalo.  I think his selection would get a lot of backlash and that owner Kim Pegula would take a lot of heat.  I’m not saying that I agree or disagree either way, but I don’t think it’s a likely move.  

     

    If it was up to you, what former Bill would you place in the Wall? 

     

    Cornelius Bennett or Butch Byrd and Howard Ballard 

    Who’s the ONE guy that you want in this draft?

    I think there will be a near-panicky burst of quarterbacks in the top 10.  Think about it.  If you had the chance to get your guy at QB for the next decade, you'll move up to get him.  Just like we did.  

     

    And when that happens, a major name will fall into our lap.  I don't know which one, but we're getting a stud.  Ed Oliver would be great.  

    Keeping my fingers crossed that QB's go flying off the board

    I don’t see this happening.  They traded up specifically to put Edmunds at MLB.  I can’t see that scenario play out.  I think White goes 4 to the Raiders anyway

    White is better than Edmunds.....   not real close IMO. But he won't be there at 9

    I don’t know if the Bills will trade all the way down to 23, but it could happen given the talent available in Round 2.

     

    But if they do, I don’t see any way that they trade up for Dexter Lawrence 

    Don't think White gets to nine. But if he does you grab him. Figure out a plan with Edmunds and him. But you just couldn't pass on White if he's there. NEVER

    I don't know what will happen in the 1st, but I'm gonna say

    1.Irv Smith Jr. TE  ( assuming 2nd rd. maybe with a trade back into the rd.)

    2.Khalil Hodge LB UB (hopefully 2nd 4th or another 5th rd. steal.)

     

    If I had to guess one more...

    3. Mike McCoy  C  ( hopefully 4th rd. )

    I respect your opinion but I think McCoy might even get bumped up to Round 1 and Hodge; is he going to be drafted ?

    I don’t know who the Bills will pick in round one, but I do know they aren’t going WR. So I’ll go WR in round 2 and say Deebo Samuel.

     

    Then in round 4 or 5, I know my guy TE Foster Moreau is a process type of a guy at a needed position, so I think there’s a chance we draft him.

     

    Deebo Samuel

    Foster Moreau

    I approve of this Post !!
