  1. Did you watch the Superbowl?  A friend of mine is a huge Eagles fan and I just checked my txt msgs and 4 times I sent Darby messages.

     

    ur welcome for Darby LOL!!!

    Darby sucks

    Darby lost again

    freakin Darby

     

    So no thanks, maybe he fit Rex's scheme, but I'll take the 3rd round pick.

    3 - 2nds for their guy. Doesn't seem like a heck of a lot to me.

     

    The #6 pick plus 3 #2s (and not late second round picks like the Bills have, but early ones - as I would imaging their 2nd next year will be in the 30s).

     

    No guarantee they get their guy - they didn't move to #1.  As others have pointed out the Jets must have 3 QBs they are targeting.  They may have to settle for their 3rd guy, which makes what they gave up seem awfully high.  Time will tell.

    The bills should try and get pick one which is unlikely.   Then work the giants for pick 2.  That should be the pick they go after.  

     

    The Browns are a better match to trade with the Giants for #2, not the Bills.  It could get done with this package:

     

    1st Round: No. 4 overall

    2nd Round: No. 35 overall (3rd in round)
    2nd Round: No. 64 overall (32nd in round)

     

    That would guarantee the Browns their top QB and Barkley with seven more picks.

     

    2nd Round: No. 33 overall (1st in round)
    4th Round: No. 101 overall (1st in round)
    4th Round: No. 123 overall
    5th Round: No. 138 overall
    5th Round: No. 159 overall
    6th Round: No. 175 overall
    7th Round: No. 219 overall

  4. The OP analysis is spot on, but the statistics are almost irrelevant.

     

    The real statistic is that every year, only 12 of 32 teams make the playoffs.  That means 20 GMs are on the hot seat each and every year.  If I were one of those GMs, I would go all in with a trade up and take my shot.  25% chance to hit on my franchise QB - I'll take it. 

  5. The market for Foles is going to be very interesting.  He was outstanding in the playoff run this year, but weeks 15 - 17 were an entirely different story.  The fact that the Eagles got by Atlanta was a surprise based on how he had closed out the season.  It's hard to ignore his entire body of work and think he is now a franchise QB.

  6. Butler didn't travel with the team, and showed up a day late.  This is from last week:

    http://www.providencejournal.com/sports/20180131/malcolm-butler-rejoins-his-teammates-after-battling-illness

     

    "Butler stayed back in Massachusetts when the team arrived earlier this week. After having flu-like symptoms, he visited a local area hospital multiple times before getting clearance to join his teammates out north."

     

    Really?!? He had to visit a local hospital MULTIPLE times and then got clearance to join his team?  And he got clearance by who, the Pats doctor or the ER doctor? 

     

    "Butler wouldn’t confirm if he had a chance to ride in the Patriots team plane by himself."

     

    This makes no sense.  I speculate he "couldn't confirm" as opposed to "wouldn't confirm", as I don't believe he ever got permission from the team medical staff.   If that's the case, then he got benched for the SB because of his own actions.

     

     

  7. Tom Brady is the GOHE - Greatest of his Era.  He's playing in the entertainment era NFL where the QB can't be touched and you can't mug receivers.  That takes nothing away from his greatness, but I have a hard time believing he'd have been this successful in the 80s era NFL.  On the flip side, seeing Montana or Marino in today's game would be amazing.

    Except the part where he kicks his feet up on the table during a meeting. Seemed like a douchey kind of move.

     

    It didn't seem to bother Belichick as they brought him back to NE a few years later.  Tells me enough.

     

    I'm in the surprised camp that he chose Buffalo over the likely offer when the NE OC position opens in a few weeks.  Family being local seems to be a big factor, so kudos to the Bills for getting their man.

  9. Marrone had a three-day out clause in his contract in the event of an ownership change.  So,

     

    he could stay and deal with EJ as his QB, Whaley as his GM, and earn $4M

    --OR--

    he could leave, earn $4M, and likely get the Jets HC job and get paid another $5M. 

     

    He would have been Doug Moron if he stayed.  Blame Whaley for giving him such an asinine out-clause.

  10. Bring back Greg Roman.  Unfortunately, I doubt he'd come back.

     

    Resume:

    Made Buffalo the #1 rushing offense.

    He called Rex a buffoon.

    Made Sammy cry to the Pegulas.

     

    I would love to see him have a another shot, this time with the new McD/Beane culture and not the Ryan Brother's Circus.

  11. The asking price based on the updated trade value chart would be approximately both 1st and both 2nds to move up to #2.

     

    717.17   (2) 

    260.82   (21)

    252.71   (22)
    106.31   (53)
    100.88   (55)

    720.72 Total

     

    The original Jimmy Johnson trade value chart leaves us 300 points short, so maybe both 1st, a 2nd, and next years 1st would get it done.

     

    2600   (2) 

    800   (21)
    780   (22)
    370   (53)
    350   (55)

    2300 Total

     

    That's a lot to give up for a team needing an influx of talent and youth across the board.  I would say NO to trying to move up that high.  There is no sure thing, with RGIII being the sure thing cautionary tale. 

     

    This is a deep QB draft class, and quality is going to fall to the Bills.  Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Mason Rudolph, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson... with Luke Falk and Riley Ferguson as dark horses.
