I dont think Dawkins is a Top end LT. I would probably put him at around 15th LT, but I also think the Bills like him more than most do, but I am sure that like still has a cap and I dont think that cap would be top 5 money

They also really didnt pay Davis that much. In todays money his big extension in his prime would have been 5 years 43.435M. That would be an ideal contract for Milano.

I think they will wait a year for the Morse replacement, I also think they like Dawkins alot more than some on this board do

OK Found it. 5 years 36.5M in 2011 Or 7.3M AAV. Yeah that sounds like a good value, so adding some inflation. (19% inflation is what the last 10 years has been in the US). An AAV for Milano would be 8,687,000 So That screams a 9M AAV, which is probably about what the Value of a Top End WLB should be

It is just the same thing that happens all over with people that are set in their ways Change is scary and will cause all types of problems in their minds.

Find me one WLB that once made Big Money actually earned that contract in the NFL. It is the easiest LBer spot to play in Football.

I don't Need an every-down LBer at that spot that is what I am saying. also in case you missed it. I included him IN the CORE but also said is the most expendable of that group and he is IMO. And thankfully the NFL opening up More Roster spots on Game Day instead of 45 makes it easier for me now as well with additional roster spots available. I can not have a 3 Down LBer, Two 2 down LBers and a Coverage Specialist for the sub packages and NOT have to worry about the roster spot crunch

I second the lets do Round 4 talk ?

Because at some point you have to look at things like that, and Milano is the most expendable player on that list. He took a step back last year, however that should help keeping his paycheck low. If not you move on from him. So if his price tag is 12M a year. and I can get the same production from 2 guys that add up to 8M a year I do that. it is plan and simple roster management. WLB are easy to find, and should never be overpaid

Yeah I kind of expanded a bit on Milano later. Out of all these players Milano is the most expendable actually and easily replaced actually

The more important question.... Is what GM actually tipped their draft target during this Mock Draft and made the pick they would like to make when the draft is for real????

The reason I dont think Milano will over 10M as well is because of the exact thing the scout said. Really you only need one 3 down backer because of the sub packages. That would be Edmunds. So they can use the leverage against Milano. And Milano could eventually be replaced with a specialized LBer. Adding slots to the roster on game day will also give that flexibility. It might take 2 backers to Fill what Milano brings, but that could easily be the leverage that they use to keep his contract team friendly

Agree I like the "With that Pace will b trading the Bears third round pick for the Vacuum.

This is a bit hard as a couple are already paid in reality but will list him anyway, the 6-8 I would pay are: 1. Josh Allen (Eventually, 2022). 2. Stefon Diggs (already above 10M) 3. Mitch Morse (Already abov 10M) 4. Dion Dawkins (This year) 5. Ed Oliver (2023) 6. Tremaine Edmunds (2022) 7. Matt Milano (this year) (though I think he doesn't make 10M a year when it is done) 8. Tre White - (Next year) There is you immediate Core IMO The Issue it which one falls off to pay your DE. I think that would be a combination of Hughes and Murphys pay (to pay the new Core DE) and the other DE would be the middle class NFL player

Also this was interesting from Beane a week or so ago.. Recently speaking with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane supported a potential solution to this problem, proposed by Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert, where the traditional seven-round draft would be expanded to 10 rounds. Each year after the draft, teams suddenly become the ones pitching to prospects as those who don't get selected become free agents, getting to sign anywhere they prefer. With team facilities closed and front office members, coaches, and scouts only connected online or over the phone, this process becomes quite a challenge. "When you’re doing free agency like that after the seventh round, you’ve got everybody still in your draft room or at least down the hall,” Beane told Florio. “Now, trying to communicate because you only have so many dollars that you can allocate from a bonus and so lot of times you have several deals going. Once you agree to one, you’ve got to pull out of the others. If you’re chasing three tackles hoping to land one. If you’ve offered $15,000 to one and maybe you’re talking $12,000 to the other, but you don’t want them both. Once you get one in the boat, you’ve got to back out on the other. It’s a moving target. I think that will be an obstacle for all teams as we work through it remotely.”

Yeah Beane talked it let me find it Also interesting he said there will be less trades something about a one time 2 minute extension if a trade is made, and issues with the UDFA period.

However it is a good thing Beane is doing this at his house on his Internet, with Oil being Negative a Barrel and Natural Gas in the tank as well. Pegulas layoffs might have included changing the internet at OBD to dial up..

But as I said those millions of people also dont have this thing as a made for TV event. and how many routinely auto-pick in those things 50%.

Due those Millions of people try to make the fantasy draft a Made for TV event?

Ha ha ha Housework messing up a draft that would be great

So you anticipate a trade before Thursday?

https://terezowens.com/nfl-virtual-mock-draft-was-a-disaster/

Considering the Draft is in two days, I think that is the No that you need until at last Saturday when the draft is over and we are talking 2021 draft picks

I am guessing this response is also applicable to any player coming up on the trade rumors
