Yeah it would be a fun experiment if they can get him cheap and Arizona eats a bunch of salary in 2023 so the Bills can rent him for a season and see how it goes. But there are enough red flags between scheme and QB fit, age, injury and suspension history that I am fine missing him if the price ain't right. Even if he goes to a competitor. He's not a slam dunk fit.

No that guy was the mayor of Cincinnati I think.

Wasn't he married to Connie Chung?

I am a big draft fan but rounds 2-7 and UDFA and when they will sign their slotted contracts aren't really compelling story lines for May-July. The more interesting story will be all the free agents that sign after the "comp pick" date..........but while there are some good players they aren't big names.

Not if he has any common sense. You can't be, on one hand, hoping to trade back because you have a lot of needs to fill on your roster(as is rumored)...........but then be like "whoa, hold up........a RB is available in round 1? Well that changes everything." Now you have LESS picks to address needs. Because RB isn't one of those needs.

What is the NFL story for the next 3 months if DHop gets traded tonight? The only story left then is WHEN Lamar signs with Baltimore. No other likely big name trade candidates........no QB's pondering retirement. The NFL kinda' needs DHop to not get traded until June at least.

The knock is that he has no pass rush repertoire. Combination of opponent scouting and some diminshed skill from injury has turned him into a base end with bad habits.

Yeah I really like McDonald and have thought he might end up BPA at a premium position that is left at 27 at times recently. But I have a hard time not slotting Addison above him if he is there due to age. If McDonald were 21 with those traits it's a different looking projection. He is one of the more interesting stories, IMO.

That mock feels right. Agree about the omissions........those guys feel like second rounders to me. The teams that picked RB's feel like RB-pickers, IMO as well. Btw Kiper just released his last this am.........and sometimes he gets some good inside tips on that version.........Will McDonald eventually went to the Bills in that version.

He's A LOT better than Shaq.

The team(s) that select a RT-only in round 1 will regret it. It's not a hot take really.........because "hot take" implies that it could be wrong..........but since some people are excited about drafting a RT it's a reminder to observe and learn. An even more certain take is that the Bills will NOT regret it if they pass on a RB who goes in round 1. They haven't lived to regret NOT selecting a RB who subsequently went in round 1 since at least the 1980's. That's not going to change in a post-RB NFL. Apologies to @Inigo Montoya who thinks the Chiefs can wrap up the Lamar Hunt trophy in perpetuity if they get Bijan.

Man........you had a really bad eye for pass rushers. And Groot has been the best DE(or DL) from that entire draft........by a lot. Phillips is the only one with as many sacks......he has 3 more.........but he has played 50% more snaps.

I'd love that if there was a young star player at a premium position on the market..........unfortunately that didn't align for them this year. Need to align the player AND a really dumb GM like Russ Brandon to trade that player for a late first round pick. Even last year the Titans were smart enough to get a better return for AJ Brown than the Bills would have had to offer. That would have been sweet.......that new contract he signed had super-cheap cap hits in 2022-2023.

A RT-only in round 1 is like giving up on life. Beane should just start wearing sweat pants to the office.

Same operator that patched the Tampa GM thru to Buddy Nix?

I originally thought Matthew Bergeron was so old because he probably had to go to the 13th grade to get a diploma like some of you guys on here.

Right.......that is the end of a response to your claims that the Bills division winning results are fraudulent because they haven't had to play elite QB's in their division. Which neglects the fact that the Chiefs have had a cake walk schedule of non-elite QB'd teams in their division since before Mahomes entered the league 6 years ago. I know you and @Zerovoltz come here because your Chiefs sites are full of garbage illogical posts from idiots who don't get the nuance of the game. But you're not making much sense here either. You've determined that to your casual fans eye that the Bills are circling the drain and old. So rather than realizing that the facts are that the Bills have beaten the Chiefs in Arrowhead two straight seasons and have had the highest point differential in the NFL in that time period you are making a broad assumption that they have cycled out simply because they didn't beat your team in the playoffs. The reality is that they are still rightfully one of the strongest SB favorites. Just like the Chiefs still were even though they blew a 24 point lead the AFCCG and got rid of Tyreek and Mathieu while there was a general perception that the AFC West had CLEARLY improved themselves across the board.......just like the Dolphins and Jets have! If you aren't worried about the Jets as a Chiefs fan then there certainly isn't any reason for the Bills to be.

Yeah that is the way the draft is. Fans fantasize that they are going to get 7 eventual starters out of every draft.........and in reality it's a good one if you get a few. With the exception of getting a franchise QB it's basically impossible to live up the hype. Then they get depressed by the actual picks. Then when you look at the final results it usually looks like every team that didn't have 2-3 first round picks had a bad draft.

This was your first sentence to me: "#1 that is a dumb comment to make" I think I was wrong saying that you just don't want to know.........your ignorance is not by choice. 😆

Yeah I don't put much into any of the info. The Cardinals may have zero strong interest. Or they may well only have 1 strongly interested team.....so they are leaking false info to try to get more from that team. The teams that are being used with false info don't care because they all have a vested interest in that acquiring team paying more. So if the Ravens are the team that really wants him.......leaking that their AFC rivals Bills and Chiefs might be close may help force their hand a bit. And those teams don't mind a good AFC team losing a good draft pick. So it's worth a shot. As a Yankees fan I've seen that game used for years in the offseason.

No, I said I wasn't worried about the opposition because at this point Allen is in a different tier than the other QB's in the AFC East. Your argument is that Allen hasn't proven he can win a division with an equally elite QB in it and that Rodgers is the same quality of player he was in his MVP years. I disagree because I saw a very different Rodgers than you last season. You also made some other dubious statements about personnel. Jermaine Johnson is the Jets 5th best draft pick under Douglas and your initial assessment was that he was better than Rousseau? Did you even watch the rest of the NFL last year? Did you pay any attention when the Chiefs struggled against the AFC's two worst teams? You seem to think that the bridge has been gapped in the AFC East because the Dolphins and Jets won a couple of VERY close games........but that the Chiefs close division games don't represent anything. By your rationale the Texans and Colts are better than the Chiefs if they added Rodgers.......because the 2022 Chiefs couldn't beat either of those teams in regulation despite their pathetic QB's.

I don't think the money can get figured out if Arizona doesn't eat a bunch of it. D-Hop could have a great comeback player year but he's not been a top 10 WR since 2020 and his trajectory matches guys like Julio and AJ Green who have flamed out in their early 30's after some injuries, recently. There is A LOT of risk with taking on a receiver who isn't a style fit with Josh Allen(who is averse to throwing jump balls and prefers his receiver open) and who has a $19M salary this year and who has struggled with injury and PED suspension past 2 years.

Yeah but why? He hasn't elevated his game much in 4 years. He has a history of nagging injuries. He's small so he's not like Marcel Dareus where you can just switch him to 1 tech if he gets complacent with a big contract and still get something out of him. Oliver just doesn't have a lot of value as a rental for a team that's not trying to win a SB now........especially with a $10M cap hit.

Draft season is the worst for worrying about things that don't matter. Runnin' bax season is a hard watch. And mockers patching every perceived hole on the roster by applying a pick number to a position that expresses their urgency..........as if that matters if the talent isn't there at that spot.
