I'm not a fan of Ruben Foster, especially not at 10... I think the best WLB is Zach Cunningham from Vanderbilt imo, again he's not a top 10 but I'd love him in the 2nd round for sure.
No way Cunningham lasts until round 2. Top 20 pick in my opinion - he is in play as early as #14 with the Colts.

The GameDay Morning panel are dropping like flies...... First Sapp (who used to say good things about the Bills D-line... he was the only one who ever mentioned us) now Irvin.... at least they know Kurt wouldn't do anything like that....
-
Jonathan Meeks appears to have completely blown his assignment on that play. But let's blame Gilmore for a 1-second "look" on tv.
Yep. The Gilmore haters on the one hand say "he is too placid and doesn't seem to care" and then when he turns around and screams at a player who blew and assignment in a spectacular way resulting in a touchdown he is "seeking to avoid accountability".
He couldn't win here. He was a very, very good player for the Bills at his best he was borderline elite.... I expect him to get the props and respect he deserves in New England. He will be seen as one of the premier corners in the league next season.

At the moment it feels like 7-9 territory again again. The D needs to respond back in a 4-3, with hopefully Shaq stepping up to what I believe he can be.... Ragland proving me wrong in his suitability for a MLB in this system and a couple of new contributors drafted this year in the secondary.
On offense I see a small regression and at the moment the schedule does look tough. I think 8-8 or better and I'd go into 2018 really believing that will be the year the drought ends.

At least 2 teams have taken Joe Mixon off their draft boards, including Pats
He is not on my board either. Not that it matters.... I just haven't looked at him because I don't want to waste my time looking at how good a football player he is when I know I'd hate my team to draft him.
-
After watching that team video interview with Terry Pegula he looked to be sincerely remorseful that the team hasn't won since he bought it.
Terry cares. Not a single doubt about that. I just don't think he knows what he is doing running this organisation. I hope I am wrong.
-
Yeah Gilmore is a great one on one corner, that's why we gave up barely any huge pass plays last season.
Gilmore gave up numbers right in tune with the other top corners.

Smart teams grab the QB before they are supposed to be drafted. If they think he is a future they will grab him at 13. If they trade back then they aren't as confident.
I think taking him after moving back a few slots would still be before he is "supposed" to be drafted. I know a lot feel like he is Aaron Rodgers re-incarnated, I think he has a high ceiling but a long way to go.
I think Arizona is in a weird position where they are trying to win now... but with an eye to the future. If they are taking their QB of the future I suspect they do it either after taking someone who can help immediately at #13 or with picking up an additional 2nd or 3rd rounder who can possibly contribute in 2017.
-
I'm not trying to upset you, but I think you might want to prepare yourself for this eventuality.
I keep having a really bad feeling that Arizona is going to take Mahomes at 13...not sure why.
I think Arizona takes him too.... but not at 13. Either with a small trade back or trading up to come back into the first before Houston at 25.

His defenses have become less aggressive every year. He hired Tampa 2 Leslie Frazier to run the defense. He retained the veteran QB for another couple of years.
We are not running a Tampa 2. It is not all that Frazier has coached.
-
I hated the Rex hire from day one and knew that it was a disaster waiting to happen - which it was. With McDermott, I have no idea how it will turn out, but I am cautiously optimistic based on what I have seen so far. He seems to have the right experience as a coordinator with two successful franchises and the right discipline and work ethic to be successful. If he has a good scheme and the players buy in to what he is doing, there is a good chance for success.
This is exactly where I am. I am not wowed by McDermott's wrestling or his MMA but he is just much more my sort of coach and my sort of person. When I was a young soccer coach I actually coached under a Rex Ryan type who thought he could screw the detail because people would just buy whatever he sold. I can't stand those sorts of people. Give me the guy who understands that the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary every day of every week.

I have always felt London will come with expansion. I am somewhat like Blokes in that it certainly wouldn't interrupt my Bills fandom if there was a London team but given that I am based in London I would probably go a couple of times a year, especially if the games are at Spurs because that is only up the road from me.
Whether the league really has enough talent to go to 36 teams I am not sure but I don't think it wiĺl stop then trying it.

My surprise 1st round grades:
Adam Shaheen
Chidobe Awuzie
Josh Jones
Interesting. I am higher than most on Jones but I have a 2nd on him.
-
I never had a 1st on Tabor regardless. I have him and White both as 2nd rounders.
I don't really have a surprise 1st round grade this year. Still basking in the Deion Jones glow from last year :-D
-
Taylor is clearly a bridge QB and they only have Jones as a backup right now. They didn't sign any veteran as a backup. That makes QB at #10 the obvious pick to me, depending on if the QB or QBs they feel has a good shot at becoming a franchise QB.
I also think that the fact they haven't signed a QB tells me they are either a) very confident in Cardale or b) very much in play for a QB at #10.
-
If one of Lattimore, Hooker or Adams finds their way to 10 that will be the pick. I can see both Trubisky and Watson in play if they want to go QB. Otherwise Foster makes a lot of sense. If Foster and the three DBs are gone I guess they trade down.The only way I see QB is of Trubs slides and the Bills are really high on him.
If Hooker or Adams falls I would take them in a heartbeat. Who else would you take on defense? I don't see any of the top 5 lineman making it to 10.
-
They are going QB or defense. I have felt like that for a few weeks now.
-
I just looked, and I have 18 corners and 11 safeties.
Of course I meant Safeties and not "safties" trust me to type on my phone on the train.
-
With the great ones the decline is often quick and steep. He could easily go from looking like his usual self to looking done within the space of a couple of weeks in my opinion.
My prediction is that by the middle of 2018 his body fails him. The Pats may well win 1 more Superbowl before then though.
-
16 CBs and 9 Safeties in my ~100. It's pretty crazy
My split is 15 CBs and 11 Safties.
-
I really liked him coming out too. Love that pick up.
-
Franchise qbs are impossible to find....what are there in the NFL.....5 of them out of 32 teams?
No. There are 4 or 5 "elite" QBs. There are another 10 or so with franchise QBs. Matt Stafford, Joe Flacco, Derek Carr are all franchise QBs. Carr might make "elite" the other two are a level below that but still a level above the Smith, Taylor, Tannehill game managers.
-
^this...drafting for need is often a sucker bet. Stock your roster with good football players, focusing primarily on premium positions, and worry about needs in FA.
And I agree with that though I disagree with Badol on Shaq and I still quite like the Miller pick (which I don't think was a reach even though it is hard to argue it wasn't a need pick).
-
Bottom line with me is Whaley swings for the fence too much in the draft --- and misses. Just look at his drafts. And I believe the draft provides the foundation to the house.
His record there could be better I agree but it certainly isn't the worst in the league in that period and he is now drafting for his 3rd Head Coach, 4th (really 5th because Rob Ryan did the job last year) DC and 4th OC. That doesn't help.

There was no way he was catching the guy.
