Pretty cool how our offensive line makes a low tier RB look really good.

They could be trying to see if a team wants to make an offer for the 1st overall pick.

You've just been a joy lately.

This is actually bad news for this young very stupid kid and the Bills. I think he could have been a strong possibility not only for us to draft but that he could have gone before our pick - sliding one more option to us.

Care to name these new owners that have turned over control to top level advisors and franchise overseers? In both sports, please.

He's always seemed a bit off to me.

You're right - you don't know much about hockey.

Because he's good at his job.

IMO they are making a mistake signing Gillislee. They have a significant amount of money tied up at the RB position and they're all extremely small. None of them can do what Blount did for them last year and they're going to miss him. Blount would come for 2 years and 5-5.75 million. We would play them and take their 5th round pick.

I would absolutely let NE have him and sign Blount the next day. Blount and Shady would be a perfect duo.

McGahee was 14 years ago which proves my point Maybin wasn't a cute pick and was 8 years ago Parrish maybe Spiller yes So one maybe and one yes in 20 years or so - yeah that definitely proves we have a history of taking "cute" picks. Care to try again?

Sammy's 5th year option will be picked up shortly after the vet camp.

I think NE made a mistake here. If they move on from Blount and go with some combination of Gillislee, Lewis, White and Burkhead - their running game got downgraded significantly IMO. The power Blount brought and his 18 TD's will be missed.

We're not a team that historically makes "cute" 1st round picks at all.

He also wants us to trade away Hughes to do that. Rushing the QB is critical and most definitely in McDermott's scheme.

To this team he's already worth the 5th year option money. I think this has to be about whether that foot is a real long term concern. April 20th is veteran camp and after they're satisfied the foot is good - they will pick up the 5th year.

Yikes.

I don't like the Cleveland scenario. I'd consider the Tampa one.

If the culture is built correctly a team can bring on guys that just need to be brought up to reach their full potential. I still believe that's possible.

Trying to figure out what a 21-22 year old is going to grow to be like is difficult. Mix in a kid that's likely been treated like "the man" since being young, he's been coached into creating a perception of himself and then give him money - now you've got an even more difficult thing to try and figure out. Not an easy thing to do and is the reason that they spend soooo much time looking into these guys. Do you think they don't spend massive amounts of time looking into the character of these potential draftees?

Something that also stood out to me is he wasn't timid. What I like about him is he will show you what he's got good or bad. When he's in the game he acts like he's ready.

Pegula mismanaged drafts in 1999? You really need to get your head out of the sand. You think drafting Jack Eichel was mismanagement? If you do - then you really need to get away from Buffalo sports, somehow. Help yourself!

You think Bucky makes sense when he says fans hoping we lost for Jack Eichel was delusional?

I understand your stance and thanks for clarifying what we totally disagree on.

That pick on Dak was very impressive. Excellent way he decided to defend the off line of scrimmage pass.
