Doc Brown

There's your Taylor Heineke replacement.

No. My guess is they just need a veteran replacement for Duke Johnson to ride the practice squad until there's an injury. We've been pretty lucky with the lack of RB injuries now that I think of it. We'll find out if Murray is willing to accept that role at this stage in his career.

He's an upgrade of who we have on the roster at TE2 right now though so it should at least be considered given the Bills pick is around where the consensus ranking of him is.

Brugler came out with his annual draft rankings on The Athletic today and had Tucker Kraft as his TE5 and 51st overall. Consensus big board has him at #70 right now. Saw him mocked to the Bengals a few times at pick #60. He might be a play for the Bills if he's available.

There's a TE that deserves consideration in my opinion that I could see the Bills taking late in the 2nd if he falls to us imo. Drafting a DE in the 2nd round is what Beane loves to do though and fans may riot if that happens. Also, should there be a a RB option in the poll?

He seems to be more of a San Francisco type personality too. Wishing this into existence.

With the 46th selection the Cardinals select Steve Avilia, G, TCU We need to make protecting our midget a priority and we had Cody Ford starting at guard last year. Avilia also has positional flexibility to hike it to our midget if need be. The Commanders @Alphadawg7are on the clock.

My gut tells me that OBJ's agent leaked to NFL Network that OBJ to the Jets was close to a done deal pending a physical on Monday. Ravens may have gone all Jimmy Haslam and got desperate so they panicked to match his asking price of 15 million guaranteed. Glad he's not on the Jets on around an 8 million dollar deal like I assumed was going to happen.

Injuries derailed his career after he left Buffalo as Rivers was way better than Fitz. I agree that his unorthodox route running helped him easily beat press coverage and helped him three peat with those 1000 yard seasons.

I'm pretty sure that was above the 1.77 million threshold Beane was willing to pay.

With the 34th selection, the Arizona Cardinals select Kelee Ringo, DB, Georgia Drummed up enough support internally to take a chance at a CB prospect in Ringo with excellent size, physicality, and speed that fits well in the Cardinals zone heavy scheme. Love his physicality and tackling ability. Also matches up well with bigger WR’s and TE’s in man coverage. The Colts @CNYfan are on the clock.

Trade alert. Hopkins has been traded by the Cardinals to the Patriots for their 2nd round pick (pick #46). The Cardinals have agreed to pay 18 million of Hopkin's 2023 contract because they have plenty of cap space while the Patriots don't. Cardinals move on from Hopkins who was traded to them the same day as Diggs was traded to the Bills.

They’re saying that now. We’ll see when draft time comes as they could be stuck with his salary with no picks.

Hopkins is on the trade block and the Cardinals are willing to pay a significant part of his salary for the right draft pick compensation.

You're not factoring in the confused wind that the new stadium will provide the 4th year of his rookie deal.

Oh god no. His oversized ego and arrogance is the last thing this team needs right now.

You said Super Bowls.

Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr would like a word.

With the 3rd selection, the Arizona Cardinals select Will Anderson Jr., DE, Alabama Reason: Cardinals have holes everywhere but they take arguably the top prospect in the draft. Anderson, who had great production as a three year starter at Alabama, excels as both a pass rusher and run defender. He'll be a foundational force on the defensive line for years to come. There were some people pounding the table for Carter but there were character/motivation concerns even before the deadly car accident that seemed to be confirmed by his disastrous pro day. The Colts @CNYfan are on the clock.

Open for trade offers.

The Maybin and the Manuel pick were the only two where I swore at the tv. I couldn't believe Orakpo was available although I thought he'd be better than he actually turned out to be. Still better than the undersized one year wonder from Penn State though who apparently is more passionate in drawing things.

After watching the Bengals dominate us in the Divisional Round this year my "13 seconds" outlook changed as I think the Bengals beat us like they did the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.

A hopeful comparison for Brown would be Josh Allen and Dawson Knox's ascension in year three. Extremely athletic prospects coming into the NFL relatively raw. Brown fits that mold but can you bank on that leap? Given his injury history I wouldn't hesitate to draft an OT in the first round if the right one falls to us. If not then I think Beane takes that leap of faith.

Hurry up and start before the Cardinals lose their pick.
