  1. So you think it's a reasonable thought now?
  2. I miss saying that since moving to Charlotte. I shall us it several times today.
  3. Suggested it's to find the leaks in their organization. Beyond that, I agree with you.
  4. I just love how teams have an honorary person name the pick - its so interesting and really adds value to the fan experience.
  5. The only reason you would do that is if you thought it would help you in a trade during the draft - which it won't. Not happening.
  6. I imagine the Bills would like Darnold too - but they have to think that's unlikely. Here's the flip side. If the Browns do take Allen - I'd think the Giants would have to consider Darnold at that point. I know a lot of posters won't like this but - I think I'd rather the Browns take Darnold, then we may at least have a shot at Allen if we can't get to Darnold, Rosen or Mayfield. He'd be my choice over Jackson and Randolph.
  7. As it stands alone it's over hyped but people must be consuming it. It's not overrated, IMO, because the event itself still has incredible appeal. Other posters have given examples but I'll give mine. Nascar hyped up the most important race of the year Daytona 500. They called it their super bowl but it's the first race and most people couldn't make sense of that - especially when the points count just as much. They didn't make the necessary changes and their ratings have plummeted since 2015. People rejected their attempt at a "playoff" format and sticking to making the first race the marquee.
  8. What if the Giants, Browns, Jets, and Broncos feel they can't afford to watch all those QB's on the sideline either and they take QB's and won't trade? Then just get any one? I guess I just disagree with how Dunne presented it and I think desperation is the wrong way for a new front office to operate. They are handling it (so far) how I would expect. They've put themselves in a position to trade for a higher pick and they clearly recognize the need. Because of our season last year we are heavily reliant on other teams (some QB needy also) to trade with us. 12, 22 and additional picks may not be enough to get to 2, 4 or 5 so we're not in a perfect situation. We either need one of those teams to not like the remaining QB's to trade or not like them enough to pass on them - giving us the possible opportunity to trade with Chicago, Tampa, or Oakland. Be prepared that this could be difficult for the Bills to pull off and isn't just a matter of their level of "desperation" to do it.
  9. With all our holes I hope we don't give up any of our picks to any of them.
  10. They are amazing for sure to take that much time to bring things to the front for us all to enjoy.
  11. Why would we care about the Browns doing the right thing?
  12. It doesn't matter - it's all about a trade partner. Something that may help you is the QB's in this years draft from best to worst will not be in the same order they were drafted.
  13. I don't think the class is over hyped because there's slow trade activity. That doesn't make any sense to me. 4 of the top 5 picks could be QB so maybe they don't want to trade their pick. The second pick could want to see which QB goes first before they say they don't want one and not even then makes it probable they don't want to stay at 2. 4th pick may not want to trade out. The 5th pick may want to see which QB's are still there. I think the exact opposite - no trade activity prior to the draft is exactly what I expected.
  14. I always thought BB would go back to Cleveland and finish what he started. He might be getting a little long in the tooth to do that now.
  15. I know you've heard that but a team getting the future just tries to negotiate it that way.
  16. This guy is taking strength of schedule way too seriously and is probably hoping to reach the more intelligent (most involved) fans. Problem is, the more involved fan already understands the flaws in these guesses based on SOS and this doesn't solve it. It doesn't even help solve it, IMO.
