Go read the thread and catch up with the rest of the class. Its all there in text. Take time off for headaches.

I guess its a good thing I have never said CB is or should be the cornerstone of the franchise. Other than being completely irrelevant to anything I have written in this thread, nice post. I love the classic "if you disagree with me then you must certainly believe the extreme opposite" logic. Now go through the same exercise for every other position in the game and show me what positions we are allowed to draft in the first round. Probably kicker. Only one first round kicker and he was a stud on the field!

Yes, they were very important and each one a great pick (although in the modern game no running back seems to be that valuable). I think jrober's argument about changing the fortunes of a franchise is a poor metric since in the modern game of football only a QB can have that kind of impact. I think we can all agree that limiting your selection on draft day to only QBs in the top 5 is silly. - Von Miller is the first player I thought of due to his dominance in the Super Bowl and MVP award. But the Bronco's success was largely due to Peyton Manning until their super bowl year when the defense led by Von and two strong CBs carried Manning's corpse to a title. The Broncos aren't even a playoff team now. - Orlando Pace is a great player but that team was all about Warner, Martz, Faulk, Bruce, and Holt putting up crazy points. - Fitz is the man but without Warner or Palmer the Cards are bottom feeders and have been for much of his sterling career. - Bruce played with how many other hall of famers on both sides of the ball. Its hard to credit any one player on the amazing team Polian assembled. - Earl is so far before my time I can't comment other than the game has changed and examples like OJ and Jim Brown do not have the same relevance in a pass happy league. - No one will ever forget how Jonathan Ogden kept Trent Dilfer clean while the Raven's juggernaut offense moved into field goal position. Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, your man Haloti Ngata, CJ Mosely were the heart of all those Raven's teams.

Revis made that Jets defense. Not having to worry about one half of the football field makes your job a lot easier. I think it was @thebandit27 who discussed a draft strategy that makes much sense to me in using your early picks on positions that you pretty much can't address in free agency or trade with any reliability. Those are your money positions. QB, EDGE, Left Tackle, #1 WR, shutdown CB. Guards, Centers, D Tackles, Linebackers, Running backs, safeties, tight ends, slot WRs need not apply.

If that's the test then I suppose you shouldn't draft anything besides QB in the first 5 picks (perhaps even first round). Name one player that isn't a QB, selected in the first 5 picks that changed the fortunes of a franchise.

Better or worse? Your feedback is appreciated.

If CB is a hole and the BPA is a CB at #3, I don't get the criticism. Your sense of betrayal from the selections of Whitner, Leodis, Spiller, Lynch, and McGahee without further facts or discussion isn't a very compelling argument. Try to contain your emotions in your response.

What tour did you catch NIN? I've been super impressed with their shows. Radiohead was my biggest letdown. Saw them at Lolla in 2008 and they basically played the entire In Rainbows album in the actual album order. Zero crowd engagement.

At what pick is it acceptable to select a DB?

Move up to select who? Every year there are trade up or trade down threads that never address the fundamental question of why and for what.

I don't get it. You're going to have to explain this one.

He is 100% free to leave the NFL and take any other $20 million per year job available that hes qualified for. Or hes free to not work ever again. That is the very definition of not a hostage. A hostage is not a person who has been denied his right to void contracts, choose his team, AND collect his multi-million dollar guaranteed money.

Tennessee shut him down in the playoffs too. TEN players said they followed the Buffalo script. I do not think he will be as effective moving forward unless he really starts getting the ball outside the hash marks to his WRs. I believe he had the least passing yards to his WRs of any QB in the game last year. He relies heavily on his Tight Ends and targets the middle of the field disproportionately.

I have heard from a guy who has connections with the Dillon family that the Bills have shown significant interest in AJ Dillon as a day 3 pick.

This asinine reasoning completely contradicts your other asinine reasoning in the "I Think I Know What Beane Did Last Summer" thread.

I think it will be fun watching games played with 5th string guys signed off the street and replacement coaches.

Do you get the hate that Josh Allen gets on facebook?

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think McCoy is crazy about Beane but part of that is his pride/ego.

During those years, special teams and defense was our best chance of scoring a touchdown.

Troup was getting pushed around before he hurt his back playing with terrible technique. Look at these picks of Troup bent backward. Couldn't have been easy on his back. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/6/14/2223120/torell-troup-buffalo-bills-film-analysis

If you hate Kaepernick so much maybe you should cut eye holes in your pillow case and burn some crosses on his front lawn. This is fun!

Do you remember when someone was out of the league for 3 years for taking a knee?

Williams knows Daboll's offense because McDermott once coached the defensive side of the ball in Carolina?

We're #1 at COVID!!!!! It was only a matter of time before we beat China and Italy for most confirmed cases. Are you guys tired of winning yet?

There are no apples to apples statistics to support the premise of your argument so you can stop right there and save yourself further embarrassment.
