I agree unstable if we can find a good trade partner. We basically have 5 picks and I’m happy if we had trade partners to move up to two picks total. If we hit on them and you guys can decide what you think is best (mine are CB, WR), we can round out the team nicely. Epinesa was good given two current Edge Rushers are over 30 and three if you consider Murphy hits 30 this summer, and Brown and Beasley are over 30 as well. Gaines (always hurt) and Norman (who knows what we’ll get this point) is definitely a good reason if it is the right guy to go with CB.

You had to remind me. We can certainly pile on with about 10 other coaches easily, but thought good old Kay was a typical example. You kill me TD. ?

So basically you’re saying 11 and 12 personnel looks which makes sense unless our TE’s grow tremendously to do 13 personnel. You may be surprised with 22 personnel looks with both Moss and Motor on the field. We’ll see based on what scheme Dabol and McD want to do in what situation. I appreciate the post though.

I understand many teams might have an interest in Trent Williams, he will be 32 in July, wants a monster deal, and hasn’t played since 2018. That is not a smart move. I do understand the interest so no disrespect to Tipster at all as he has been a stud in the past.

Probation guys, please read for awhile before a couple of you make silly comments. I’m sure you meant well, and a person can find fault with anyone. If you’re older ok, but if not, you haven’t endured through the crap many of us have since the 1970’s. This is the first administration between coaching, management, and personnel many of us middle aged people can get excited about. I know the Polian Levy years were fun, but that was not long enough. Not speaking down to anyone, just understand if you had to watch Kay Stephenson, and so on, you’d be excited as well. Also, we had a great owner who kept our team here even into his death, but for awhile didn’t want to pay for players, then didn’t also want to pay for proven coaches like Chuck Knox.

JK, good question and I know you’re trying to help and keep the conversation going, but that is the problem with previous administrations. Too much quick fixes. Not piling on bud and glad you’re on the board. Think the long game and this administration more than any in over 20 years is doing just that. Look at their free agency acquisitions the last three years, jettisons (yes I know Beane wasn’t officially here, but they fired Whaley the day after the draft, and Beane really was involved in it as he was hired immediately after the draft). They are picking up players to fit needs, but making dumb decisions in spending in FA, and the draft is about making it easy to pick the right guys. Again, the long game. The Pegulas must have been impressed with them enough to give them free reign to build a team the right way. If we do this right, we could be a contender for not just this year, but many years to come. Until they prove me wrong they haven’t. Hey, no worries on the question at all. It was a good one. I as well as some of my friends on this board maybe, not definitely have seen a couple more pitches. Not into short fixes. Hope you guys are well up there as I heard there was a little snow. If it makes you guys feel better n FL, we have tornadoes, 60 mph gusts, and crappy weather. Heres to all of us this in the morning enjoying a great Saturday morning after tonight.

NB, no disagreement. I was listening to Nick Saban yesterday morning, and the impact by the Dolphins, the AFCE, and even the history of college ball with the Pfish being afraid to clear Brees, so Saban goes to Bama. College ball could have been significantly different, Saban and Brees squaring off twice a year against BB and Brady for the last 14 years. It was interesting the Miami reporter was on the Opening Drive yesterday, and said Steven Ross only had one playoff appearance since he bought the team in 2009, and is turning 80 next month. His net worth is $7.6 billion ranking 4th of all owners. You know he told his management to swing for the fences with Tua. There is an argument that even if Tua only lasts 6 years, but is stellar like he was in college, it would be worth it to South Florida. It would be kind of fun to start seeing the Pats lose each year to Buffalo and Miami eventually. Miami spent $235 mil. In free agency in 2020, and still has more than enough $ for UDFA, and even any free agents they want and maneuver their cap like a Clowney, or whoever. I am no Fins fan at all as I remember my dad and grandfather bitching how they beat us for the entire decade in the 1970’s. It will be nice to see a very different AFCE with hopefully us leading the charge to start taking the division the next couple of years. How much fun will it be to see a wildcard team and division winner in the playoffs without the name Patriots on the list. ??

NB, I’m not saying I disagree he has a risk of getting hurt, but he has faced defenses in the SEC for years and that is by far the toughest division in college ball. Just think about how many defensive players will be drafted from the SEC over three days.

I don’t think it will be big deal as Fitz should start as he is used to getting thrown into it, and with the lack or absence of practice and training camp, he’s the logical choice. Once Tua gets enough practices under his belt, and ensure he is 100% healed as monitored by their team physicians, he’ll eventually get the nod. I wouldn’t doubt it if Fitzy starts the first 6 games. Maybe less, maybe more, but even a healthy Burrow will struggle being a rookie QB and a lack of OTA’s and probably an abridged training camp. I’m not the only saying it, as I could swear I’ve heard just about every NFL analyst on NFLR and even WGR say the same thing.

Oh and to be clear, that wasn’t in order, just whoever is highest on the board.

Basically any other position than RB, Edge Rusher, WR, CB. There should be one high on our board in one of those four positions, and follow the board as we go down the line. I’m fine with us bundling picks, or taking just BPA in the later rounds.

These two have nothing in common. Tua is by all accounts a very good natural leader, has incredible accuracy and vision, and a family oriented young man. Manzeil is a self inflated party boy who had everything handed to him and didn’t put in the work, not to mention has an addictions problem. I know this is not just a matter of self restraint, but just as the word states, an addiction. He brought his problems on himself. As much as Ill never root for the Phish, I do hope Tua has a solid career in football.

Well, our draft day starts today. I like you’re mocks, especially the one juxtaposed to KC.

you guys are just wrong. ?

With this quarantine thing, it makes sense they fill the bottom of the roster or camp bodies with people they know. I know the past, but this year, I’m just speculating other teams are collecting camp bodies from teams they know.

What would it be without another I hate you Goodell thread? He has to play the fall guy for 32 owners. Not a defender, just he doesn’t make these decisions without ownership.

It will be interesting to see how Beane plays this out. Between Milano, Dawkins, Tre, then eventually Allen is he keeps progressing. The implications of keeping these people if possible continues to provide the argument we are not going to buy these flashy free agents that continues to be the logic by some. Even Diggs was not at a contract at the highest in the NFL. It’s smart decision making, rather keep plugging holes and get the most out of role players. The Pegulas need to retain Beane at McDermit as they are making shrewd decisions for a long term plan. It’s refreshing to see people having a long term plan.

If the question is historically, then 1970 (even though before my time) since the league and the country thought the AFC was weak compared to the NFC, and the Jets was a fluke. Then KC won the second time which then pushed the AFC winning most of the 1970’s Super Bowls. Between KC, to the Colts, Miami, Raiders and Steelers was a great decade for this conference.

Nice job Bandit. I still see Miami trading to 3 to ensure Tua, but who knows in a draft.

Winston was lasered in on Evans and Godwin. Having watched a ton of Bucs games, Winston had tunnel vision. Fitz when here distributed much more liberally to the entire offense. As I mentioned Howard is a definite upgrade over Kroft and Smith combined, but neither would help against the cap. Too bad as he could help us as another win.

How can anyone know whether it is LA or Miami who makes the trade to 3, or does Detroit want to stay put? I know we’re all a little stir crazy with the quarantine, but this one is a stretch.

Sweeney will probably make the team, but as another stated several people are not locks and could get cut. We won’t know until after the draft and camp if there is one.

Happy Birthday to the first QB I watched as a little boy. I always like Fergy.

I’ve Ben waiting since I was 3 when OJ in a 14 game season ran for over 2000 yards of which to date I don’t believe anyone has done in 14 games fan damn tastic. Regardless of the number of games, we’re all playing the same number of games so yeah, I could care less whether we win a 16 game season and win the Lombardi, or an 8 game season with no fans in the seats. My dad who is hitting 90 this summer has been waiting since the beginning of the foolish 8 and the 1st SB for us to win. I think he would die a happy man to finally our beloved Bills take it home.

I like Fournette and Howard on our team, but understand if we wait to see if they are cut. Fournette is a great compliment to Singletary, and Howard is far better than Smith or Kroft. I don’t see much savings if we cut those TE’s, but from a talent standpoint, it’s an upgrade. Fournette is a cap friendly deal and a late pick or just draft someone. They are not just haves, but upgrades over our current talent.
