Can someone help me out here on WR numbers?
Back in the 60s, WRs wore low numbers. Lance Alworth was 19. Bob Hayes was 22. Then in the 70s it went to all 80s numbers for WRs. Then it seems a few years ago a lot (almost all) went to QB numbers (teens). Was there a rule change? If so, when?
QB, K, P: 1-19
RB, CB, S: 20-49
WR: 10-19 and 80-89
TE: 40-49 and 80-89
OLine: 60-79 (50-59 is also legal but rare)
DLine: 50-79 and 90-99
LB: 50-59 and 90-99

17 would look right--- that's my preference. Realistically, I'd like him to not pick a number with a strong previous association, but that's difficult: no 14, 13 or 83 at the very least.
Yea I'm definitely thinking 17 after seeing that. I think he would've went 12 if it weren't retired.
Appreciate the info SBUffalo
No problem. Always like to know what numbers we'll see on the field!
-
Wow, you did an awful lot of research on something nobody cares about. Come on, seriously, no one give a flying F on what number an Olineman wears.
Your laziness is showing. It took me less than five minutes to compile this. "Awful lot of work." No.

Watkins will be 13 id guess. Rubbing salt in Stevie's wounds
This would annoy me on multiple levels. I don't like 13 that much for WRs and Stevie was unbelievably loyal to the city. Let the number rest for a year.
I'm hoping Watkins goes with 17. Kaufman is moving to TE so he'll have to change numbers.
-
Evans had to get special permission to wear 83. Andre wasn't in the HOF yet then. The team may not want it worn, and Watkins may not want it.
Also: he said he doesn't want to wear a number in the 80s. So I highly doubt he uses it.

He used to cover the Patriots and they moved him to the Bills. You could definitely expect some stupid **** when you make a move like that.
-
but Obama had no reason to make any comment about the NFL draft and society has no business caring who Michael Sam chooses to have relations with.
This is such a lame and lazy way to view things. It's a weak attempt at being "tolerant."
It gets said a lot. The person saying it either believes, or wants those reading it to believe, that they actually support equality for gays, but you don't. It's not that supporters care that he's gay, it's that we know it's important. The people caring about his sexuality are those who are against him. The others who care about the situation care about the significance of this moment. It's a huge moment, no doubt.
-
I love these idiots who keep saying nobody cares. It's a major thing. I know you're protected and privileged life is comfortable, but it's not that way for everybody. I'm glad Michael Sam got drafted, and I will be rooting for him.

There could be a lot of logical reshuffling of divisions if the NFL really wanted to.
Just a quick and drastic restructure without much thought:
AFC North: Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
AFC East: New England, New York, Miami, Jacksonville
AFC West: Kansas City, Denver, Arizona, Houston
AFC South: St. Louis, Cininnati, Indianapolis, Tampa Bay
NFC North: Minnesota, Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago
NFC East: New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Dallas
NFC West: Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego
NFC South: Atlanta, New Orleans, Carolina, Tennessee

He's not "moving." Players change positions based on system and he's a DE in the 4-3. A bad one.
-
I'm hoping for Kouandjio or Moses. If not them then Ealy or Crichton. Next two picks should be OT/DE in either order.
List based on what is left:
1. Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
2. Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia
3. Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri
4. Scott Crichton, DE, Oregon State
5. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington

Thanks for the new thread that doesn't provide any real information about a player who left a year ago
-
Tajh Boyd is projected to be a 6th or 7th round pick. I would've liked him before the Watkins pick but bringing him in now might create an unneeded strange dynamic with Watkins and Manuel.
-
The only 100% available WR numbers are 13 and 16. 83 isn't taken but may never be worn again.
He wore 2 and 7 in his years prior, so numbers like 17, 82 and 87 make sense. Could just take 16, but I hope he goes for something a little better.
-
What number does he end up wearing in Buffalo?
-
I think Minnesota moves down. If they don't and Aaron Donald is there at nine then the Bills should make a deal with Dallas.
-
What about after round one?
-
I'm talking about a pick that isn't really on the radar (in any round) that would piss everybody off, maybe even you, but would make you less mad than everybody else.
For me it would be Kyle Fuller at nine. He is the best corner in this draft and, if he stays healthy, he'll be a superstar corner in the NFL. I would be disappointed but willing to talk others off the ledge since I believe it'd be a value pick instead of a big need.
-
There will be at least one "just move the team already" comment.
-
If it wasn't an option two days ago then it isn't today. If the front office throws out months of work because of something they don't have the full details on then they should find new jobs.
-
If he is valued as much as the hype from the Ohio State game then it would make sense for Houston to take him as they run a 3-4, and he is perfect in that environment. With us going with Schwartz, and back primarily to a 4-3, it doesn't make sense for Buffalo to move up for him, but it does for Clowney.
Personally, I'd love Clowney in our defense.
I agree with everything except the indication that he doesn't fit a 4-3. He can play four positions in a 4-3. He'd be a great 4-3 SAM.
-
-
I was 100% certain that it'd be Clowney no matter who owned the pick, but I backed off and now think it'll be Mack. If it is then Clowney may end up dropping to three which would be the launching point for trades if Jacksonville doesn't take him.

Dareus won't be a free agent. He had his fifth-year option exercised. Unless he has a huge season I doubt the team will be doing any negotiating with him after his recent arrest.
