No, of course not. Fifth rounders can be viable contributors, even starters. Kyle Williams falls into that category. But more often than not, they are looked at as special teamers with the hope that they can turn into more. Lottery tickets, if you will. My original point was that I would not go any higher than a 5th for Rudolph and would prefer a 6th or 7th. At least with him, you should get 1 or 2 years of good TE play which is more than fair for a 6th or 7th, IMO. He's the devil you know versus the one you don't in a late round draft pick.

I think they're okay. Rumor has it that Ralph's estate threw in this little beauty when they sold the team...

That's fine. If he wants to play poker, let him. Can't blame him and his agent for wanting to get the most guaranteed money that they can. It doesn't mean that Beane and the Bills have to blink. They can simply walk away from the table. I don't get the feeling that the front office is chasing Ansah. They're keeping an eye on his situation and if it lines up with their needs at what they feel is a fair price, they'll pull the trigger...but I honestly don't think that Beane will give him more than a one year 'prove it' deal and Ansah won't get stupid money from anyone, despite what he thinks.

IMO, he's probably only getting a one year deal at this point anyway. Since he's not likely to be cleared before mid-August, the teams still in on him may prefer to wait until Week 1 to sign him in order to avoid any guaranteed money.

Nuclear?

This was posted the other day. Awesome story.

Until he's cut or placed on the practice squad and promptly scooped up by the Pats*...at which time half the heads on this board will explode. ???

This kid is from Beane's backyard so, if anyone knows him, you'd think Beane would.

...and turns out the dog got woke and found out his owner was a Pats* fan, then decided to run away from home before he became a pawn in some bizarre Kraft-led beastiality sex trade ring. The End. ?

@KD in CA Mea culpa. I got this wrong...Arizona received the 2020 5th, not Miami.

Knox. It's been a while since we've had a good Knox...

Fair enough, NS. Thanks for clarifying.

Are you being serious or is this a 'chain yanker'? lol Serious question...can this kid block? At 5'7", that obviously won't be his role but we know that Gore is a great blocker.

Wow. Does a RB this early spell the end of the Shady era? Really thought Butler might be the pick here.

That's fine. I'm glad I was able to provide you with some amusement. I don't claim to be the smartest man in the room and I can live with the fact that we differ slightly on the approach here.

And...Arizona had to throw a 2020 5th Miami's way, as well.

Whatever. Either way, he doesn't push the Bills over the top. Neither would the likely special teamer they would acquire keeping that 5th or 6th. I said I'm okay with a 5th or 6th and I don't have a problem acquiring KR. I don't know why you continue to make it an issue. It's semantics at this point.

He'll be following Ciara soon...

Yeah, that's right. I said I wouldn't go higher than a 5th. 5th or 6th is it. Prefer a 6th. He's basically a 1 year rental who will be 30, so even a day 3 pick doesn't thrill me.

When I first heard this, I honestly thought a 6th. I could maybe live with a 5th but wouldn't go any higher than that as he'll turn 30 during the upcoming season and will be a UFA after this year.

OT Cody Ford! Nice!!

John Murphy has had a hard on for DK for months. He was trying to talk himself out of the Bills picking Metcalf at 9 and now DK is his "top choice" at 40. Really, Murph? You don't say. ?
