Doc Brown

I'll refrain from being that guy that points out that I also was banging the table for Metcalf. However, I am humble enough to admit I was wrong about Cody Ford considering everyone seemed to think he was going to go in the first round.

With the 55th pick, the Miami Dolphins select Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas. Miami takes another Texas player out of pure coincidence. Didn't love the value of any offensive line prospects at this point and Sanders fits well in McDaniel's system. He should give them that much needed receiving weapon at TE in the passing game to go along with the newly acquired Jonnu Smith. The Dallas Cowboys @JJGauna are on the clock.

Can he run the team? That would be fantastic.

Based off his injuries it's more likely he cures cancer.

Why do this before the draft? I’m guessing interior offensive line isn’t a draft thought in the first four rounds anymore.

Anything's possible. If Beane is thinking of a major move like that they could already have the parameters of the deal in place. It pry won't happen until the draft though as the Giants might only move out if a player they want is off the board by the time they pick. The Bills might not make the move if the WR they covet is gone at 6. The Broncos and Bills had a deal ready to go in 2018 but Elway called off the deal because Bradley Chubb fell to them.

Could they restructure Allen's, Oliver's, and Milano's contracts to make it work? The banana stand has a reputation to uphold.

Falcons went to a Super Bowl thanks in large part to Julio Jones. Just make sure if we do make that move the WR doesn't believe the earth is flat.

Do you guys really think WR is a need?

They had Kelce and a top five defense.

If the Bills are going to be a serious contender this year they need to trade for an Aiyuk, Higgins, or Jefferson. If not, then they need to make a massive trade up to get one of those top three WR prospects. That's the only way this team competes for a Super Bowl this year and it sucks if it doesn't happen.

With the 21st pick, the Miami Dolphins select Byron Murphy, DT, Texas. The offensive line definitely needs to be addressed for this abhorrent franchise but it's hard passing on Byron Murphy in this spot. He should provide some much needed interior pass rush pop that was lost when Wilkins signed with the Raiders. The Philadelphia Eagles @HappyDays are on the clock.

So it's not a pick that you hope the team will make that helps out the Bills the most? I guess the Dolphins won't be taking a first round punter this year.

All the Bills day three picks.

They need to reduce the rookie contracts by a year with a 4th year option for first round picks. Extension talks can start after two seasons. It's too brutal of a sport to have to wait four years just to get your second contract if you vastly outperform it.

Fish, Steelers, Jets

They'll re-coup some of that dead cap so it's not a tremendous hit. Good on the Lions for releasing him as I'm also against strangling someone.

That's a good point but I think if they do draft him they'll have projections of him lining up at both DT and DE (on possible run downs) depending to get him in the field at least more than 50% of the snaps. I'm not a fan of it but I think that's what they had in mind when they drafted Basham albeit he was primary a DE. I just don't see them passing him up if he falls that far. Too good of a player.

It happened on Bass's field goal attempts 5.88% last season and 6.25% the season before. None his first two seasons. It's a problem for him for whatever reason.

I never gave it much thought but why not snap it 10 or so yards on shorter kicks if blocks are a problem? Mess with normal rhythm/routing of the snap/kick? Make it more likely for the defender rushing from the edge to block it because he has a better angle?

The Bills knew very on in the process that even in the worse years you'd still fill out a 63k capacity stadium for almost all the games. It's one of the main reasons it's not 72k like we have now. That and more room for luxury boxes. The outdoor stadium decision still baffles me though. This has pry been covered before but how hard would it be to eventually put a roof on it?

Per Ryan Talbot.... Beane loves his ex Panthers.

Probably because most of the teams featured didn't make it to the playoffs the previous two seasons so not making it to a Super Bowl isn't surprising. Also, with that kind of logic we never made the Super Bowl because we weren't featured on Hard Knocks.

I don't think any of them were serious candidates but just floating their names out there gave some publicity to his campaign.

NFL has changed qualifications for Hard Knocks meaning the Bills are eligible to be forced to do it this summer as they removed the playoff criteria. Here are the only teams that aren't qualified. They have a first-year head coach in place. They're participating in the in-season show during the upcoming year or the following season. They have appeared on "Hard Knocks" in the past eight years. They apparently will also feature an In Season Hard Knocks where they'll follow four teams in a division. It's doubtful the AFC East will be chosen this year since the Fish did it last year and the Jets were in the summer addition. I used to be against it because of the possible distraction but it's not like avoiding the show has led to a Super Bowl birth. I would enjoy the behind the scenes stuff and get a better sense of the personalities of the coaches and players. Would be curious if you guys would welcome it or think it's too big of a distraction.
