If you're approaching the draft with the mentality of filling holes, then you've already lost
I think the mentality of this regime is you trade up when need matches talent. They say they will draft BPA but they're not waiting around to find out what the BPA will be.

I live Oliver at 9, but not in a trade up which requires forfeiture of draft assets. He has 13.5 sacks in 3 seasons at Houston. I'm just not CONVINCED he's going to be a game changer at the next level.
Forget his stats, he looks like a dominant pass rusher. I'm no scout but his tape is elite. When I look at players the will be available after the 2nd round no one really jumps out to me. Give me Oliver in the 1st and the best TE or O-lineman in the 2nd, I won't care what the rest of the draft looks like.

That's pretty wild. Also I googled Baker Mayfield and April 9. April 9 is the day he visited the Bills. Maybe that picture is legit.

People ripped Whaley for this.
They ripped him for trading away a future 1st rounder for a WR. If we trade a 2nd or 3rd for Oliver that is not comparable. Personally I would do it for the 3rd and a 4th thrown in. Not sure about the 2nd but I wouldn't hate it. He has the potential to be a game changing talent and we wouldn't be sacrificing the future at all.

It would not surprise me. They stocked up on later draft picks and filled holes in free agency. They gave themselves flexibility to move around. Although I would be surprised if we trade up in the 1st. Moving up from our 2nd round pick I could definitely see.

In retrospect I'm glad the Patriots won the AFCG. This is what Zerovotlz has done to me.

This unfortunately means that the Jets will end up with Nick Bosa or Quinnen Williams

We added Brown and Beasley and we're meeting with just about every receiver projected to go in the 1st and 2nd rounds. I don't think this is even up for debate anymore. Zay's spot is in danger. Regardless of how we feel about him they are looking for an upgrade.

TaskersGhost recently compared Andre Holmes to Marquise Goodwin. Not worth anyone's time. This thread should be set on fire.

They still need receiving and oline help.
Sure, us and 30 other teams. But we have NFL level talent around Allen now. Nothing elite. But it is good enough to win. I really couldnt say the same last year.
-
It's all on Allen. The moves they have made are good enough for a 10 or 11 win season IF Allen develops. He's still the biggest question mark. But they have left zero room for doubt. If we win less than 9 games it is likely on him. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Is this a good thing? Don’t know much about him
Eh kind of a bust. I wouldn't expect it to cost more than a 5th rounder, if that. If you trust PFF they don't even rank him as average.

Didn't think this deserved its own thread but it's interesting:

How the hell did the pats make it to the sweet 16?!
Their round 1 opponent was the Jaguars. Even I would have voted for the Patriots in that matchup.

Browns/Patriots would be a fun SNF opener.

Wow this signing came out of nowhere. Maybe they're not as high on Wallace as I thought.

On many of those short passes Josh saw that they were available and and decided on a different course of action. Maybe he was told to look for the big play or maybe he thought that he needed to do more on his own given the lack of support around him. I don’t know. But with a guy like Beasley around, he’ll (most likely come to) realize what he has there and use the short passes more.
This is going to be a huge focus for Allen this year. Beane said as much in the interview @stevewin helpfully transcribed:
AS – We know he’s a great athlete, know he has a cannon for an arm. In your opinion where does he need to get better
BB – It’s his decision making. I hear the accuracy criticism, I don’t totally agree with that narrative. It’s the decision making – and what it is is Josh is so competitive and he’s obviously got the arm, that he tries to make throws that a lot of guys can’t make so they don’t try even try it. That was one of the areas of growth that we ket stressing to him – is it’s OK to take the 5 yd check down and move it to 2nd and 5 instead of trying to squeeze it into the hole 18 -20 yards down the field that’ just lower percentage.I'n sure that's why they got Beasley. They want Allen to have that short to medium range target he can rely on. He's a smart guy, I think he'll figure it out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Dawkins listed as a guard when we drafted him? Could we see:
Nsekhe, Dawkins, Morse, Spain, Waddle?
I think we will draft a RT. It is the only position on the o-line we didn't spend a good chunk of money on. I don't think they want to go into the season with Waddle as a starter. But yeah I could see Dawkins moved to guard. Beane was asked about it earlier this year and he didn't rule it out.

I think people underrate the importance of good coaching and planning. You can't just scout and draft talent. You need a plan for what kinds of players you need for your scheme, and then you need to coach them up. Maybe if Matt Milano had been drafted by the Raiders he would be a backup instead of a future Pro Bowler. That's what sets this regime apart so far. They're creating an identity and finding players that fit, and then they're actually developing them.

What's incredible is suggesting that Allen's passing line was good.
I want to make sure I read you correctly. A little part of me thinks I must be mistaken. It seems like you were comparing Andre Holmes to Marquise Goodwin. Do I have that right?

No you aren't.

This is really incredible.
Calling it now: Zay Jones will not be on the week 1 roster.

I just have to say one last time that TaskersGhost in all seriousness said "Andre Holmes mimicked Goodwin" when attempting to prove that Josh Allen had a similar set of receivers as EJ Manuel. In fact I'll just post the whole thing because it's amazing to read:
See, EJ Manuel had Stevie Johnson. But Stevie didn't produce with any other team, and Kelvin Benjamin had more career yards, so that means Kelvin Benjamin is on par with him.
But oh would you look at that, that's another lie. He says Kelvin Benjamin has more career yards than any receiver we had in 2013. Just a little slightly off there. Stevie Johnson has 1,743 more career receiving yards than Kelvin Benjamin, and Robert Woods has a mere 1,430 more. No way TaskersGhost is randomly making up information to win an internet argument. It was probably an honest mistake.
