  1. depends on what they're gonna do with the 5.5M
  2. So drafting Prather is kinda funny for PSU folks. We wanted this kid out of HS and he went to WV. Then he hits the portal and we wanted him out of the portal and then he goes to Maryland. So we’re familiar with him. That 4.4 40 has gotta be his best in life, because he never played that way. I would guess he got his body specifically ready to run that kind of time. With Kaden, think of a less explosive Keon Coleman. His big, physical dude, who’s gonna win by bodying people in routes and winning with strength off the LOS.
  3. Lol sorry my question was universal not directed at you specifically
  4. How do we have Brian Thomas at 20? This kid looks like one of those dudes who one year might be talked about as Best WR alive.
  5. anywho....Keon is gonna be good this year
  6. I must have pulled up the wrong page or something my bad I love McLaurin. This is a man who’s basically averaged 1K a year and doing this while playing in the joke of a franchise that was Washington prior to Jayden Daniels. Perhaps the most underrated WR around IMO.
  7. Cook is a very good back and a multi-dimensional threat. We can absolutely lean on him as the bills win a Super Bowl and if you can do that, then IMO you’re worth being paid like a top 5-10 back Those were the only seasons he got past 1000 yards. And again, I’m not saying Drake is better! Saying someone “isn’t elite” isn’t the same thing as saying “this is not a great player”. AJ Brown can lead my WR corps anytime. He’d literally be the 2nd best Bills WR since like Eric Moulds, right there with Stefon Diggs. I probably shouldn’t get involved in “elite” debates
  8. And just to be clear about AJ, I love him as a WR and he’d be by far our best WR and it’s not even close. Same is true of Davonte Smith. That the Eagles have both is a function of luck, circumstance and opportunity. But not everyone can be elite. In a world where Chase, Jefferson, Sun God, CeeDee Lamb, and scary Terry exist, I can’t call AJ Brown elite. That’s not taking anything away from him either. But there’s some REALLY REALLY good talent out there right now. Like Drake London never gets any publicity but he’s been incredible. He had more catches, yards and touchdowns than AJ playing on a worse team with worse QB play. We’re not gonna call him elite though. Feel like Eagle players are getting a bit inflated because they won a Super Bowl, when the reality is they won that Super Bowl by having really good players at every position, rather than relying on a a few different stars. They won with depth, they won with versatility, and they won with a pass rush that was more about waves than any one player taking over every week. They didn’t have a single guy with double digit sacks yet they had 5 players with double digit pressures (Bills had 4). Thats also how I want buffalo to look, and I see no reason they can’t be that He’s simply not talented enough IMO. There’s a clear divide between the level of Barkely, Henry and pre injury Chubb that Cook doesn’t have. And even beyond them Bijan Robinson and Jamhyr Gibbs in Detroit are a tier above Cook
  9. One of these are DK Metcalf. The other is AJ Brown. It’s wildly subjective. Also Keon was a very different player pre injury (one of the 3 best rookie WRs and actually a pretty good ranking WR in general) when going by EPA (by far the most accepted and respected advanced stat around) vs post injury. He acknowledged that, Beane acknowledged that, McDermott did…he’s 21. He’ll be good
  10. That’s all true but elite is a subjective question and even if I’m wrong, where did I say buffalo is remotely as talented as the Eagles roster? And also Saquon and Carter were drafted in places where the bills never draft. Davonte Smith is as a top 10 dude. If you’re gonna call Mailata “elite” then why wouldn’t you call Dion Dawkins elite? I mean this team has averaged something like 12 wins for 5 years now and have won a playoff game in each of those years. They’ve been a model of consistently being great. EVEN THEN - I’m acknowledging that the bills defense is pretty lacking in top end talent other than Oliver (who when he’s on is an excellent 3T and one of the best in the game) Michigan doesn’t have a QB yet, and still need to show it can get anything out of the perimeter player. We‘ll see if the transfer kid can do it, because if Underwood is starting that game it’s a problem. But you can bet their defense should be nasty
  11. I wasn’t saying that to defend the Bills. Buffalo has an above average roster who’s coaches and Josh Allen and oline managed to turn it into a great team that played well beyond its talent. I like Beane but I have some doubt with him in how he’s managed the defensive side of the roster. But I also don’t have an issue with a lack of “elite” players, because they’re consistently drafting after the 25th pick and to get elite players there is basically crap shoot
  12. McDuffie, AJ Brown, and Carter.
  13. You and I have very different definitions of elite
  14. How many “elite” players are in the league? 25? Why is there an expectation that the bills have more than 1? Like the chiefs and eagles may have 2?
  15. If there’s any hot garbage, it’s amateurs trying to get famous for grading players without knowing the play or philosophy. theres a reason why even people like Ben Johnson cite numbers like EPA, because it’s cold hard objective fact, and one of the most robust metrics we have in terms of holding up to context
