I agree with you, but I'd argue that the only definition of 'militia' in US law found in the Militia Acts could likely be construed to include all law-abiding adults anyway. The 'unorganized' class of militia includes all males of draft age, but since you can't deny a Constitutional right on the basis of age or sex, if that definition were applied to 2A, it would probably have to include all adults, with the exception of those falling under prohibitions for felonies, mental illness, etc. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title10/subtitleA/part1/chapter12&edition=prelim Then again, there are about 30 states that would immediately add such a legal definition of 'militia' that includes all law-abiding adults, anyway, if this ever became an issue.

I'm glad to see the Supreme Court get that one right.

It seems to me that NFL isn't any different than any other business. If an employee's behavior, actions or opinions potentially offend the customers, the business may just decide that the negatives outweigh the positives and that the employee isn't worth keeping around, even if they're otherwise good at their job.

Yes, its an important distinction, because the article cited includes those up to age 19. The vast majority are in the 15-19 age range, which is where gang related violence and other serious criminal activity also tends to be a major factor.

I'm thinking Jojo Domann here. The Bills like undersized LBs that can cover, plus depth and special teams are always a factor in late picks. A possible wildcard, just because they can afford to take a flyer on a developmental prospect...QB Carson Strong.

I'll trust their judgment on this one. If there's one thing this staff has proven, it's that they know how to scout and coach up defensive backs.

Dohnovan West is available? I think I change my guess for this one.

I expect DB, LB or WR primarily as ST picks.

I don't mind taking one in R6 or 7. Just don't give up two picks for one. Thankfully, they picked the guy I wanted here, Khalil Shakir.

I hope we didn't trade up for a punter...

I'm hoping for Khalil Shakir, but I'm expecting someone none of us have ever heard of.

With all these WRs going earlier, it may just be that most teams are done at WR and there's more supply through the mid rounds than demand. That could be good for the Bills if they want to take a WR in R5 or trade up at some point.

Agreed. I would not be surprised at all if they burn a late pick on a more traditional RB to challenge Moss and be a short yardage type.

He could be an every down player if used more like a WR (and that's probably how they'll use him), but I wouldn't expect him to be a 15-20 carry per game kind of guy.

I wouldn't be totally shocked to see them take another one later today to serve primarily as a short yardage and goal line specialist, assuming that Moss is on the way out.

That's exactly how I think the Bills will use him.

Note also that the guy he burned on that play was Christian Harris, who went about a dozen picks after Cook. Cook just ran right by him and actually had to slow up and wait on the ball. I'd also add that this play isn't a fluke, either. He had one just like it against Michigan in the Orange Bowl.

He's not a RB in the traditional sense. He's more of a RB/WR hybrid. He's going to be deadly on third downs and long yardage situations.

Go look up his 82 yard TD catch against Alabama in 2020.

It sounds as if he's a Matt Milano clone. Undersized, but an excellent athlete with good instincts and cover skills. It seems like this was a couple of rounds too early, but I guess we'll find out when he plays.

The Titans may have been afraid we'd trade out of that spot to someone else who wanted a QB.

Jalen Tolbert or Khalil Shakir. I'm not going to complain about an interior OL, either.

Either one works for me. If the Bills are going to draft a WR, they probably need to do it now. There's going to be a big drop to R5.

I really like this pick and I kind of suspected he might be on their radar sometime tonight. Regardless, he's going to add an explosive element that's been missing at the position and pose another headache for opposing pass defenses in particular.

I love this pick. He's going to add a new dimension to this Bills offense on passing downs.
