Well written Paup. Agreed with you’re points and would rather use capital on the offensive side for more weapons.

Tipster, good post, as I agree with Ford competing with Spain for the LG spot, but we have Daryl Williams, Ty Nsekhe for the RT, and have bigger needs. I saw the article this morning about Fournette to the Bills at only a little over $4 mil. On a one year as speculation, and for once I’m not against a RB in free agency. If we only had to give a late round pick, and he compliments Singletary perfectly. That would be one reason to maybe get a RT, but I want an Edge Rusher, a possession WR, and if we already have the RB we don’t need to draft one. In that scenario, I’m cool with a Tackle, and maybe a CB for depth. I’ve said it before, but too bad we didn’t outbid the Browns for Hooper. We’ll have to wait til next year to draft one as this class is supposed to be weak, and next years looks very good. I would have dropped before the restructure Kroft, as well as Smith. As we know, we have to keep adding pieces to this offense as we already have a very strong defense. Our window is now and have a leg up returning so many pieces in a crazy off season.

Happy, like you’re posts, but you forgot one team in the AFC. THE BUFFALO BILLS! Sorry, I wasn’t yelling, just excited we’re in the same discussion now as the teams you mentioned and I agree with you 110%. These are likely to be the four division winners. I don’t remember any of them including us losing key players in free agency, and several additions including us. As far as Clowney, I didn’t see him live up to his hype coming out of the draft, but he is a solid player. It’s just mind boggling he didn’t play better with Watt on the other side as Watt drew most of the double teams, and still beat them. I hope the Titans play well as long as it is not against us which is supposed to be the last game of the season in TN. While we have two tough divisions in the NFC and AFC West, they don’t exactly have it easy with AFC and NFC North. You can make the argument the Jets and Dolphins are rebuilding and the Pats may be good, but not the same as the past. Now their division doesn’t look that hard either as Jax and the Texans should be a mess, but there are some good teams in both divisions in the north with the Packs, MN, Ravens, and possibly the Steelers as Big Ben will be back. I can see the Titans and Bills with a 10-6 record even though both teams may be better, but facing tough opposition. It should be a fun year as long as we have a full season.

Moon, you’re assuming this exercise says current players are competing against guys from far in the past. You can think of past players playing against past players. Nagurski or anyone else including the great Lombardi coached against 5ose guys and their scheme. As bright as Lombardi was he would have figured out how to coach against BB. That man was special.

Wizard, thanks for you’re assessment.

As Sal has mentioned, if before the Diggs trade we had 9 picks and still have 7, we wouldn’t be able to find spots for all of these players. My hope is however he can bundle 7 picks into 4 players, and hopefully find three that can start or at least be a rotational player. We need quality, not quantity at this point.

Colorado, nice post. Agreed on another possession type WR, battering ram RB like Carson from Seattle, and an edge rusher would be nice. If we had a better TE class, I’d say yes, but as someone else mentioned, next year’s class of TE’s is better so we’re probably going to live with what have this year.

Well said as I can’t stand the guy, but he continues to find a way to win. We’ll see if he can do it post Brady. I’d say he’ll rely on defense and the run game, but that is to be seen as they lost some stars on defense. Philly was a good pick toward the top as well as NO. If I were a Saints fan ( and I’m not ), I’d be frustrated as they have been knocking on the door for the last three years. They have an enormously talented team and well coached. Brees doesn’t get even close the recognition he deserves.

There was an argument made on NFLR by the analysts that teams to compensate for quick release QB’s like Brady, by bolstering more their secondaries than traditionally the D Line. For now, we are doing both so we have a good D Line, not great, but as a unit, we have a top flight secondary. This is why someone in another thread was concerned about allowing White to walk. McBeane knows how much they need White and company. They are playing it smart as they are trying to manage their cap over a couple of years with strong drafts, as they know eventually they will have to pay Allen. Even our marquee trade with Diggs is low comparatively speaking for a true #1 WR. Other true #1’s are getting a lot more than Diggs. It’s a good five year strategy and possibly beyond for having sustainable success. This is why we won’t probably see these really high priced free agents go in successive years. We’ll keep seeing good pick ups like the last two years, but not the OBJ or Clowney types.

kmart, no it’s not. I’m not hair on fire, but hasn’t even hit the peak. Doesn’t mean we won’t have a season, but I’m worried about loved ones and friends not getting it. If fortunate, it will drop, but it hasn’t yet.

Trout, I think you’re comments are plausible. If they have an accurate rapid test, you can see players and staff getting tested before any contact in practices, and games. The fans in the stands I don’t believe will happen. They won’t take any chances unless they have a vaccine which is doubtful. My father unfortunately because of his age doesn’t know why they aren’t using more widespread the hydroxychloroquine as a treatment. I told him, there are serious risks of cardiac and retinal problems so only being used on the most sick. We just don’t have an effective treatment yet. I love football as much as all of you, but not at the risk of this pandemic starting up again given the assumption things tail off over the summer.

Thanks GB. I used Spotrac, and didn’t see this point. Appreciate it.

Thanks Bruce, but no, my joints can’t take it anymore. My best was 1620 for a total in a meet. 600 lbs. squat, 400 lbs. in the bench, and 620 lbs. in the deadlift at 177lbs. This was completely drug free and anyone who has seen competitive powerlifting, you have to be perfect in you’re form. When you squat, you’re hip has to be below the top of you’re knee, the bench is with a pause and you can’t move even an inch with you’re feet, and the deadlift has to be without hitching (rocking it up and down on you’re thighs). Sounds simple but it’s not. Most guys in the gym never come close to deep enough on the squat. These days it’s lot of light non stop lifting and cardio. It’s what happens when you break the 40 age. It was fun, and most of the guys I competed with had world records at that time. I understand why, but crazy not being able to go to the gym. BB’s original post is one strong son of a gun.

This regime won’t let White go. We most likely will extend Dawkins and Milano this off season, and White next off season. If it was previous management, I would have concern we let him walk, but this regime isn’t dumb and they know White is one of the top 3 CB in the league.

If they traded for Howard, my guess is they would cut Smith and Kroft is there was money to save which I believe is approximately $8 mil. Although I like Howard, I’m ambivalent if we traded for him or not. Oh, and I went with a 4th.

chandler, you’re welcome to you’re opinion, but as a past US Champion power lifter, I strongly disagree. My team was the #1 in the nation in the late 90’s, and you have no idea how much technique is involved in squatting, deadlifting and benching, not to mention Olympic style lifting. Our heavyweight used to have the world record squatting over 1000 lbs, and competitively benched 730 lbs, which is with a press call. BB, thanks for sharing. I know you’re still competing and keep it up. I’ll give you this Chandler, a meet is a long day, and from the outside can look boring, but then again, me watching golf is like getting my appendix taken out without anesthetic. Having said, that my family and friends love golf. I don’t care, just not for me.

Agreed on Moulds. He was such a stud, and felt bad he was stuck on our team. By the time he made it to Houston, he was past his prime. Put him with Kelly and he would have a gold jacket. Paup (by the way love the name as was awesome), I don’t know if you remember the Phins game in December, can’t remember the year, maybe 2001 or 2, and was snowing of course. It went from a steady snow to a blizzard in the second half. It must have been a 4:30pm game. The weed fiend from NO ran for over 220 yards that game, and we still won. Moulds in the second half had a deep one handed catch for a TD. It was amazing.

We may move up a little in the 2nd or 3rd, but that’s it. I don’t know what people are thinking we could move up for Chase Young. That’s like saying we can trade for Rodgers. Fantasyland. Beane seems to have a penchant to move up which is great and we are not in a position we need more players and move down. We’re not rebuilding at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with maybe 4 picks total and bundle the other 3 to move a little higher. I don’t see us trading away a player or any pics from next years draft.

Well, I’m sorry for those who lost their job. My sister works for the Sabres and she survived this round, but her boss lost his job. It’s going on everywhere not Justin sports, and close to home for me. It’s so bad in FL it is next to impossible to get into Unemployment and freezing up, and all over the news.

Just remember it’s liars month in April as no one tells the truth before the draft. I don’t believe any of these people.

We’re probably drafting one, or we get a serviceable FA, but nothing special.

Points allowed.

Love hearing from you mature guys as wont say old timers. My dad, turning 90 this year told me about his dad taking him to the pile and the craziness (kegs and so on), and how Hunt he fans were at that time. My guess is that was the real mafia back in the day. Thanks for the memories you young guys.

Weo, you’re a sharp cat, but he won’t last. It was discussed this morning on NFLR as no one can take that durability. He’ll get used up and they’ll move on. Maybe if they adjust their strategy and Bridgewater finds other targets, but you can’t last with that type of production.

That’s a big ouch. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to breathe. I had a severe bruise between my ribs and that was hard enough. As a tangent, this is one of 5e reasons the combine is a problem waiting t9 happen with the bench press. I competed at a national level in powerlifting for 14 years, and in college, one of my close friends older brothers was benching 375 lbs. training for UB football and cracked his sternum. Ended his football career. Just so stupid seeing these kids slamming the 225 lbs off their chests. As it pertains To Allen and running, I thought he evaded many more hits in 19 vs. 18. I’m hopeful he continues to follow what Russel Wilson does as he uses his legs but gets rid of it, passes or runs to get a few yards and gets out of bounds. That’s why it’s hard to say, Allen stop running.
