  1. I could definitely see Metcalf being the pick. It would be a surprise to most people but it makes sense. He has elite physical traits and that's the type of player McDermott and Beane look for in the 1st round. He has the most upside potential of any offensive player in the draft. Biggest concern is the neck injury. If he's fully recovered from that I expect him to blow up the combine and I doubt he makes it out of the top 10.

  2. Josh Jacobs but I don't want him in the 1st. My new draft crush for the Bills is TJ Hockenson. Did some research on him last night and I would love him as early as pick 9. TEs are just as important as receivers in the passing game, and with his blocking skills he'd be a big help to our run game too. I know we need receivers but I expect a good WR to be there at our 2nd pick, and Foster and Zay are at least some semblance of a receiving core. At TE we don't have a single starting talent and there isn't much available in free agency. Hockenson fills that need and he would be a huge target for Allen. He's a good blocker, good hands, and very competitive. A little raw but very athletic. I could see McDermott and Beane falling in love with him too. Going off of last year they like athletic freaks in the 1st round.

     The “deflator” actually let air out, but yes.

     

    See that's how little the actual act mattered, I already forgot the whole thing. What I will always remember is the way he was sneaking around and working to cover up evidence of something so stupid. If he had just admitted it I dont think anyone would have cared. Beat the opponent on the field, not in the bathroom. It's the weirdest sports scandal ever. He should be embarrassed.

  4. A Patriots equipment manager snuck the football into the bathroom to pump air into it. Brady then destroyed his phone completely when confronted by the league. Sneaking around, giving memorabilia to complicit employees, destroying evidence. All for a little extra pressure in his football. Pretty pathetic stuff.

    As much as I'd like to re-shoe my horse with his head, there comes a point when you just have to admit that he's amazing. It's just a fact. Years ago I insisted that Montana was better because he played against defences that were actually allowed to hit and bump receivers etc. 

     

    And while I still think that's true to an extent, you just can't deny his greatness.

     

    He's a great QB who snuck around to have the ball fit to his exact liking and then threw a tantrum when the league stepped in. Inflated footballs didn't make him great. It's just really weird, and sad.

  5. I generally hate 1st round RBs. But I'd make an exception for Jacobs IF we trade down. Great attitude and love for the game, excellent blocking running and pass catching, and low mileage since he wasn't a feature back at Alabama. Our best Super Bowl window is on Allen's rookie deal so I would accept drafting a young RB in the 1st to give us some kind of rush offense for the next 4 years. I still wouldn't take any RB in the top 10 but if we trade down to 15 and draft him I'd accept that.

  6. Refereeing should be done from a central office with numerous camera angles for each game. Reviews would be quicker that way. A central office would have watched the PI twice and immediately called the penalty. Challenges would also go faster. Watch the slow motion replay 3 or 4 times and make a call. Some guy staring into a booth on the sideline is the most inefficient way possible.

  7. The salary cap goes up about $10 million per year. I would front load the contract, give him 6 years, and guarantee all of it at signing in exchange for a few million less per year. By year 3 it won't take up too much of the cap space anymore. It would be a risk but if your QB proves he is good enough to be your franchise QB for 15 years you take it. The Colts did it right. In 2021 Luck's cap hit is only $21 million. That leaves them negotiating power for his 2nd big contract.

    It's funny, you hear a lot of stuff about how the Bills should just build an explosive offense and leave the defense, and a lot of time I agree because the game has definitely changed a hell of a lot. But then I see the Chiefs playing like this and think, yeah I'm okay with Beane drafting defense at 9

     

    The Rams/Chiefs game wasn't the death of defense. It still matters as much as it ever has in the playoffs.
