Right, so now he'll be on for the game and the commercial break.

I dunno, Drake was pretty decent this year. He had 4.8 ypc and totaled 883 scrimmage yards. But I agree in that I think you are saying taking a chance on an Alabama running back is less risky because their usually stacked at the position.

Interested in prospects in the mid-to-late portions of the draft, especially if we retain Cadet. My main guys are Adams (ND), Smith (Southern Miss), and Scarborough (Alabama).

Really hoping Kirk makes it to our 2nd round picks. Dynamic.

2nd Annual Intra-Staff Wrestling Tournament is what I heard. Currently, they are breaking in the newbies. Luis Guilamo (Director of Analytics and Application Development) and Jeff Mueller (Video Director) have been a pretty even match-up thus far. Stay tuned for updates. No source, sorry.

I'm gonna hang it up after this post, but: (1) if the Cardinals pursue a QB, it could very well be Taylor (as you said in a prior post, "ANY QB for the Cards to pursue"), and (2) "Discussing the Buffalo Bills and the NFL", right, so I think discussing both Taylor and the Cardinals in a thread should not be chastised. It's not "Discussing the Buffalo Bills or the NFL".

I'd agree if this were a Cardinals board. Given that it is a Bills board, I think talking about any thread topic in the context of how it might affect the Bills is more than reasonable.

Good. He was a pleasant surprise last year. Now add more pass rushers.

Bills QBs for the Cardinals to pursue? Or teams to which the Bills could trade Taylor? Because then the answers would be, respectively, Peterman & Webb and why discuss other teams in a thread about the Cardinals QBs or lack thereof?

Agreed on marginal starter. I think he is being paid about what he is worth though, given how inflated the QB market is becoming (Garoppolo and Cousins). Maybe it'll be more like a 6th or 7th, but I think a team will give up something for Taylor. We should be able to move him for some value, whether it be a late round pick or maybe a player who is on the outs for that team. That is why he's being mentioned. He's a Bills QB on the trading block being discussed in a thread about a team that needs QBs...

Okay, yeah, I'm not arguing with that. I see the poster I quoted said "recently" and in my mind I was just going off what the new regime did with last year. I do think that's going too far back for "recently" and that Lawson should get a "jury still out" tag until mid-season or so this year. I'd also put Brown as better than "decent" and Glenn as better than "good". Here's to hoping the new offensive scheme will help produce an uptick/return to form for Miller, too.

I agree with the overall notion of giving up the picks being worth it, but tough to make the point about not hitting on picks after watching White and Dawkins play last year.

Too old.

I get that. I just hate the "bird in the hand" valuation, meaning having to give up next year's 1st for a value of this year's 2nd. Let's hope we can use the Panthers ties to get a softer trade up tax.

#21 + #22 = 89.59, which leaves 32.39 left. Throw in #96 (6.87) and we're at 25.52 left, which is about pick #40-41. What it depends on is Glenn's value. We have to do this analysis under the assumption that he is healthy and cleared to play, otherwise why trade for him? Here is a comparable scenario: SEA traded a 2018 3rd round pick and 2019 2nd round pick (essentially two 3rds this year, which is essentially one 2nd this year) for HOU's LT Duane Brown and a 5th round pick. That makes me think Glenn would be worth about a late 2nd round pick, which is not too far off the 25.52 value we were left with above. Using Hill's chart, the 130% multiplier, and the Brown trade, I think we could swing the following: #21, #22, #96, #149 (or a 2019 4th), and Glenn for #2, which would be huge in keeping future high picks and our two 2nd rounders this year.

I'm aboard the Chris Hubbard train. Cheap legit starting RT.

Those helmets are awful. Good on them.

As an Irish fan, it's just salt in the wound that this was posted by a Bama fan...

#1FB: Kyle Williams (1 rush, 1 yard, 1 TD, 1 playoff berth)

I think if Alex Smith got the return that he did, then Taylor can get at least a 5th.

Agreed, and I'm not saying anyone in particular, but I've seen over and over on this board people say that there is no way we could get anything for him, an opinion with which I strongly disagree.

I was thinking about potential trade partners for Taylor, and settled on the Cardinals as the most likely, maybe equal to the Broncos. I know people think Taylor is complete trash, but I could see us getting a 5th for him from one ot those teams.

Meh, the drought is over. Curses got reset imho. I think McCown, Fitzpatrick, and Moore would be the best back-up QB options if we're rolling out a rookie QB day 1.

Is there some Fitzpatrick curse of which I am not aware?

I mean, McCown put up pretty good numbers last year considering he was on the Jets, but okay. If you think Mayfield starts day 1, then I propose signing Fitzpatrick as his back-up. What say you?
