    These "people" are very versed, they actually care about what they say and they don't do it just to get clicks.  

     

    They are entertaining 

    Dude or dudette.   

    you are on the "practice squad" 

     

    And you want to preach to us?  

     

    Ha!  Football knowledge equals number of posts.  I love it.

  2. Peter Schrager, c'mon.!!!  That guy knows jack about football even with a support staff.   I believe this year was his first time even covering the draft.  And if you watched Friday and Saturday on the NFL Network you learned nothing.   ESPN put on a much better broadcast and their seasoned draft guys were on for three days, not just the first round like Bucky and DJ on the NFL Network.

     

    Schrager needs to stick to his metorsexual football morning show talking about pop culture with a tiny bit of football mixed in. 

     

    Please tell me this forum is smart enough to know Schrager's opinion means absolutely nothing.

  3. It might need to be changed to "blindly trust the process".   They have never laid out the process for any of us to believe in.   

     

    Whatever they do we take it as pre planned and call it "the process".   Processes are documented before execution and communicated to create what is called mobilized commitment.       

     

    This doesn't mean they don't have a process planned.  You just can't ask people to believe in something they don't have any knowledge of.   

     

    Maybe "trust us" or "trust the path" would be a better tagline.

  4. I think based on play he belongs in.  Like some said previously though his broadcasting needs some work.  That should not matter in his consideration for the HOF however he is not doing himself any favors by talking down about playing and practicing and anything football related.  He makes it sound like the glass is half empty on the whole NFL experience and that hard work is for the birds.

     

    I understand he is near 50 now but you should promote the game and the experience a little if you are on the fringe of the HOF.  Even Andre Reed put on a good face to get in.  

  5. Hopefully they give up Marijuana and get blood testing in return.  If player safety is truly an issue then HGH and other non urine detectable PEDS need to go. 

     

    It is only my speculation but the fact that the Superbowl was won by a 41 year old QB and the fastest player on the field that day was a 32 year old WR who looked worlds different in the Superbowl compared to week 5/6 immediately following his PED suspension sucks.  If anyone hasn't watched ICARUS on netflix yet, predictable scheduling of urine tests are easily beaten.

     

    Clean up PED use and we won't need to soften the rules so guys don't get hurt.

    I’m confused. I get the size and speed but hands? Is the trading staff going to give him a hand transplant? 

     

    Enter N’Keal Harry. Mad YAC skills, great hands, better route runner, 4.5 40, 6’3” and 27 reps on the bench. Oh and he can contribute on returns. 

     

    No fair, the question was DK or TJ.   I like Harry better too - he reminds me of Tim Brown the way he runs after the catch.   

     

    You are correct hands are not something the training staff can necessarily improve.  I think Metcalf has pretty good hands though from what I have seen on tape.  I was just saying I would select DK over TJ and then go to work on his flexibility.   

     

    Since you brought up Harry, I think the selection between he and DK will come down to mental makeup.     

  7. Didn't Ridley select OchoCinco and TO to train him for the combine and draft?   I know they were good WRs but who would pick them as trainers?

     

    I don't like his decision making for that one alone

    Too bad Metcalf's 3 cone was so bad. Sign Tyrell Williams and draft Isabella (2nd). That should compliment Zay, Robert and Duke.

     

    Discounted because of a three cone drill?   Say that out loud.      

     

    We haven't even seen his individual workouts yet

  8. A lot of shots at DK's workout.  How about TJs?  4.7 in the 40 with build up speed?  Remember he will never be faster than right now.   

     

    After a few weeks of NFL games getting knocked around in the trenches are you OK with a high pick TE running a 4.9 or 5.0 in games?  Will that get open?

     

    Personally I would use the training staff to get DK more flexible - yoga, pilates, stretched, and pool work .  I'll take my chances on the upside of size, speed and hands.

    Physically he is that guy.  As a WR, he’s not nearly as polished as those guys were coming out.  Not even close.  I get the comparison but I think it’s woshful thinking. Misses the season due to a neck injury.  I don’t think he should be our 1st pick.  Love the takent though.  Has some serious bust potential.  

     

    My questions on Metcalf are if he has the hands to catch Josh's fastball (Harry is said to have the better hands) and is he quick at all?  On tape it all looks like TE like build up speed.  He is fast, I will acknowledge that, maybe faster than Harry in a 40.  Metcalf's strides seem long as compared to Harry who looks quicker laterally and I see as a Tim Brown type.

  10. It looks like consensus no offensive players in the top 10 in an offense driven league, hilarious.  We are really buying into those January "expert" process rankings.   Maybe reviewing draft history would be better strategy for our educated fan base.  QBs and WRs will be prominent in the first round as they always are.

     

    My #1 pick for the Bills is N'Keal Harry and he will go top 10.

    Using Drafttek

     

    1. WR DK Metcalf 6'4" 225 Ole Miss

    2. OT David Edwards 6'7" 315 Wisconsin

    3. OG Chris Lyndstrom 6'3" 307 Boston College

    4. TE TJ Hockenson 6'4" 250 Iowa

    4. DT Olive Sagapolu 6'2" 345 Wisconsin

    5. DE Chase Winovich 6'3" 245 Michigan

    5. CB Rock Ya-Sin 6'2" 190 Temple

    6. OLB Ben Burr-Kiven 6'0" 221 Washington

    7. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky 6'2" 220 Utah

    7. TE Jace Sternberger 6'4" 250 Tex A&M

     

    I like it but I would switch out Metcalf with N'Keal Harry.  He has the best hands in the draft and we have the best fastaballer QB.
