I can’t figure out why they don’t take 9 QBs. That helps them get their guy. If you don’t have a QB nothing else matters.

With the Cardinals, Ravens and Chargers at 15, 16 and 17 it makes sense. My sleeper pick has him going to New Orleans but am not as confident. Those other 3 teams have all been linked to him and you’d basically get everyone before them as well as those 3. It feels like a good bet to me.

Go to Santoras on Transit. It is massive and possibly the best place to watch sports in WNY.

The Bills have met with him (a few times I think). They seem to really like him.

Harrison Phillips seems like a guy that McDermott would adopt. He is the number 1 for me. Penny and Pettis may be next on my list. The further you get into the draft though the harder it is to project.

None of them are a definite no but I might take D.J. Moore with those odds. I would feel pretty good about the rest of them if I were you.

The interesting thing to me is that I think 5 - 8 (ish) is the Bills target. The Colts, Bucs and Bears all lean defense and that’s a sweet spot for that side of the ball. I think between 10-20 will be almost all defenders.

Sorry about that

Nice topic!! I’ll say Tremaine Edmunds, Vita Vea and Jaire Alexander (it sounds like he is climbing late).

Also, let’s not underestimate how the “bust rate” has rapidly declined all over spirts. There is just so, so, so, so much information now than even a decade ago. The world is so much smaller. That is a way underrated factor.

That’s exactly why I want to preserve the 2019 1st. I even like the interior guys. Give me Bosa or Lawrence or Oliver or Gary.

The Broncos, they won with the corpse of Peyton Manning and Osweiler. Eli played well in the playoffs. That team never wins a Super Bowl without the rush. That NASCAR package gave Brady fits.

Re-read what I wrote and tell me where I said Eli Manning was terrible... You also aren’t guaranteeing the outcome. A coin flip is 50/50 but two flips doesn’t mean 1 heads and 1 tails.

Clearly the teams don’t feel that way as a bidding war was going on. No one would pay him $16M a year unless they though he would be elite. Clearly the league views him as a top end player.

Really?!? Do you not remember how the Giants beat the Pats (twice)? Remember the Broncos a couple of years ago? They won a Super Bowl with elite pass rush and terrible QB play. QB pressure is the 2nd most important thing and the Browns could have an ELITE pass rush this year. It doesn’t “mean nothing” without a QB. That’s the biggest overreaction. That’s what a team desperate for a franchise QB would say but it would be wrong. Ask the Colts and Packers what it’s like to have a QB and no rush. It isn’t hard to get it right at the top of the draft. It’s 50/50 or better. Who was the last QB picked at 1 that failed? Russell over a decade ago? If you don’t have enough confidence to get it right you should be in charge of that decision.

So they should punt on a double digit sack guy opposite Garrett for a backup QB?!? That’s a good way to get fired. Just get the QB decision right; that’s what they get paid to do.

Last 1: 12: R1P12 QB JOSH ALLEN WYOMING 22: R1P22 LB LEIGHTON VANDER ESCH BOISE STATE 53: R2P21 WR CHRISTIAN KIRK TEXAS A&M 56: R2P24 TE DALLAS GOEDERT SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 65: R3P1 OT TYRELL CROSBY OREGON 96: R3P32 LB FRED WARNER BYU 121: R4P21 DL FOLORUNSO FATUKASI CONNECTICUT 166: R5P29 RB KALEN BALLAGE ARIZONA STATE 187: R6P13 C MASON COLE MICHIGAN

And another: 12: R1P12 G QUENTON NELSON NOTRE DAME 22: R1P22 LB LEIGHTON VANDER ESCH BOISE STATE 53: R2P21 QB MASON RUDOLPH OKLAHOMA STATE 56: R2P24 WR D.J.

This one was way different than most that I’ve done. 4 QBs were gone by 12 and Lamar was gone before 22. I actually like it outside of getting the QB. This is what I ended up with: 12: R1P12 CB MINKAH FITZPATRICK ALABAMA 22: R1P22 LB RASHAAN EVANS ALABAMA 53: R2P21 OT KOLTON MILLER UCLA 56: R2P24 C FRANK RAGNOW ARKANSAS 65: R3P1 DL HARRISON PHILLIPS STANFORD 96: R3P32 QB LUKE FALK WASHINGTON STATE 121: R4P21 LB FRED WARNER BYU 166: R5P29 WR J'MON MOORE MISSOURI 187: R6P13 RB KALEN BALLAGE ARIZONA STATE

Simple answer is because his talent is in that league. He has elite hands and can run the entire route tree. He has produced like an elite player when targeted like them. The Chiefs (and others that were in the bidding war) are using that information. If they throw the ball to Watkins he should be elite. It’s much more difficult to make a guy, bigger, faster, stronger, better hands, and a better route runner than it is to throw him the ball.

Agreed Blokes, he was the classic example of drafting for need. The Giants needed a tackle, reached, and got what they deserved.

Rudolph is a guy falling as the process has played out. At this point the mock drafts and player rankings come with a lot more sourced information. There is no chance that Rudolph goes in the top 5. I suppose he might go in the first but the more teams have seen him the more he has dipped.

Pretty much how I feel. The Bills will go up some. I just hope that they don’t empty the piggy bank to do it.

Darnold is their guy. If he goes 1 I don’t see the Bills dealing with the Giants. They can go to 5 or 6 and get their QB. If the Browns go Allen the Bills could try to get to 2.
