Is BPA for best player or best potential... 4th and 5th round are players who can help you now 6th and 7th are more projects that you don’t expect stuff from them this next season. They have some raw skill but need more training or development. one thing I’d like to see..teams have a 3 -5 player development list which exempts them from playing but also exempts them from waivers.

Why are they devalued? teams have shifted to more of a backs by commute in part because one gets tired the other reason is Data has shown fal off with ball touches. A RB could go through this after 4-5 yrs. as a result teams look at a 1st and say I shoukd have this player with my team for 8+ yrs. most RBs don’t last that long as a full time player.

Or 1st was used for an offense weapon.

You can get a decent RB ot WR in the 3rd. It’s harder to get DE later in a draft.

My thoughts.... i saw him as BPA where thry drafted unsure if he will be Shaw Lawson or a better pass rusher. This was a 2nd rather than a 1st so there isn’t that impact pressure. i think another big factor...it’s harder to get DE pass rusher in 3rd/4th than it is to get a RB or WR.. buffalo could trade up in the 3rd to get someone.

A lot...3rd plus next year 3rd

Their agents are....

Buffalo trades down if a player or two isn’t there.

I had concerns ve seen him in high teens to mid 3rd round.

Bills draft a punter if we are basing this on need....

Run on defensive players have happened......

We won’t get any shinny new toys....panic....wtf

Would buffalo had traded down?

In thus day... yes teams have needs and compare what are what they can get in draft vs free agency. What you got in free agency affects how you draft. another factor is age of players on team and depth. For example you have 2 vet CBs, you sign another 2 in free agency and you have 3-4 PS or depth prospects on your team. In 2-3 yrs you know you may lose of of the 3 vets so you draft for long term depth not expecting anything from pick this year but in 2-3 years. with rounds 1-3 you look for players who could step in now and help but know some positions it’s harder for a rookie to step in full time. last year buffalo signed Yeldon and gore and still had shady. All old so they needed younger. Wade was signed but he was a project. Thry needed a RB of the future. In today’s nfl rbs tend to take roles so it would durprise me if buffalo drafted another RB who had some differences to come,rmrnt what they currently have.

A dr who is used by the agent may have an incentive not to red flag his clients. similsrly a team doctor is going to be overly protective of team interests and doesn’t have objectivity when it comes to player asking for injury compensation when they got cut and teams won’t sign him because of an injury found. its about credibility. A prosecutor office have staff psychologists who can evaluate those charged in their mental health at their time of crime. If one of these has a 99% rate of suspect is fine has little credibility vs someone who has questions on 50% of cases given.

The problem is independence and agenda. there is a small group of doctors that are well respected and a team can trust. Many others you don’t know may have an incentive to say he’s ok. It’s similar to doctors pushing certain meds because they are getting pharma kick backs Prpblem is...settings used in a CT Or MRI that can show things a normal setting wouldn’t for example ......a specialized low CT scan of the lungs can reveal some respiratory conditions in early stages like COPD in folks in their 50s before it becomes bad.

How many players did did not participate in the combine? those who didn’t may be the concern around. I don’t know if agents did a video workout for players who didn’t compete. with other players you can do video interviews with so you are still talking to thrm. i don’t think this will have a big impact on drafting players other than with some sort of baggage or reputation that can’t easily be cleansed or players who got injured and can’t get a medical exam.

I do not like those stats unless you factor in other stats. It’s like errors in baseball. You got to a ball 95% of the rest of the league wouldn’t have gotten to yet you get an error. what is actually defined as a missed tackle...you being in the wrong place vs assignment? You just getting one arm on him vs two?

The schedule is limely fone now...which includes London dates. It will be a wait and see on deciding to cancel it in London and it goes back to home team site.

Does this still have legs....

why would Houston do this?

1 he didn’t illegally buy the team. If in the same market the owner of another team can buy the nfl team. 2. You can’t circumvent the cap that way. Nil owners own other businesses. All of them Gould do that.

I agree they are going all in in the next 2 seasons. the question surrounding this are players under contract for 2020 but not 2021. i think Murphy has just one year left so if you can sign a DE for 2 yrs vs his costs could drive a decision around say signing a free agentDE and cutting him.
