But he also said guard is an option. I'm betting that he makes more sense there as a smaller guy who can run block. The competition is also weaker inside.

I didn't expect anything more clever, so well done.

I think they both start on the ends with Ford inside. Rumor has it Ford is a run mauler with a weakness in pass protection and he's undersized. I'd rather pair him up with Nsekhe on the right, allowing the bigger journeyman to take care of the top pass rushers in the league.

If he's taken with Sills still on the board it would be mind boggling.

Dawkins/Spain/Morse/Ford/Nsekhe

1) Oliver - I wanted to trade down here after Hock went off the board, but standing pat he was BPA, so w/e. Kid seems to want to be here so that's a plus. 2) Knox - Calculated risk to get a dominant athlete with a top RAS score. If he lives up to his athletic gifts, it will have a massive positive impact for our team. We need this to work. 3) Ford - I believe offensive line play hits a point of diminishing returns and the Bills passed it with their offseason signings. If they didn't think those guys were better than what they had last year, why did they sign them? Seems like we draft OL high constantly in Buffalo and they rarely end up being long-term fixtures here. 4) Joseph - Kid hits like a truck, but is he polished enough to contribute right away? Seems he could whiff a lot against better competition with his wind-up, no-wrap tackle style. 5) Singletary - Seems like a slow Tarik Cohen knockoff that doesn't catch. I don't get how he fits in. I'm not a fan of going after a 5' 7" RB when we could have gotten Red Zone targets.

That ship sailed yesterday when we decided to give JA more time to throw passes to Zay Jones and Jason Croom.

He's a fine depth guy so far, but nothing in that highlight reel is special. Good teams have special weapons. You could have shared this David Nelson Highlight reel and it would have had the same effect.

He's been open since 1986

That Ryan Connelly kid to the Giants looks good. Thought we drafted him before we got our guy. I do like a power hitter though.

They just signed a Super Bowl MVP QB and have a top tier defense. If you aren't considering them at minimum better than us on paper, you're making a mistake.

How do we compare against the other strong and rising teams of the AFC? The Patriots, Chiefs, Chargers, Browns, Ravens, Jets, Colts, Broncos, Jags, Steelers What's the script that allows us to run through each of these teams in January?

As one of the resident DK supporters. I like the player, and in hindsight maybe there wasn't a better option. I didn't see any indications before the draft that Metcalf would be at best the 3rd WR off the board and that he'd fall to the 2nd round. My main cause for any greif about the pick prior to it being made is that this team has invested heavily in the defensive side of the ball for a long, long time and it's never manufactured into results. When we had to best D in the league under Jim Schwartz and Kyle, Dareus and Hughes all went for double digit sacks, did we make the playoffs? I've thought for a few years now that in order to have a defense that can carry a team, you really need 11 great players with 3-4 All-Pro level guys. That's a lot to ask of a team, and even then they often fall short. Teams score far too much for any D to stop them all the time under the new rules. I think it makes more sense to have a solid, opportunistic D with unconventional schemes, and then have an explosive offense that can score at will, and who you know will score every single time with 40 seconds left to win the game. To do that you need a great QB, one elite receiver, one great pass-catching RB, and 2 other very good receivers. Your o-line sucks? That's fine. Wilson, Rodgers, and Ben have made due.

I mean, who really cares about that. I'm sure the tune will change as soon as he's drafted, unless it's as a backup to a QB that's going to be around like Rivers or Ben.

At this point, why wouldn't MIA just take Lock? I wouldn't give any more than a 3rd for Rosen now. Arizona completely shot themselves in the foot here. Chip Kelly 2.0

That could be, but from an athletic standpoint, he's probably the best WR prospect since Calvin Johnson. If teams were willing to teach Antonio Gates football from scratch, I have to believe you'd find a way to do what you needed to do to get this kid to destroy everything in his path. Maybe there's a flag on him other than his college production, but I think you have to try. I sure wouldn't fault Beane if a kid like that doesn't pan out. You can't coach what he has.

Isn't that why we signed a truckload of o-line in FA?

San Fran's #1 WR is Marquise Goodwin. I'm thinking they'd like an upgrade there. That goes double for the Jags.

I thought they all played well in spot duty last year. Lewis had some big plays. You can always get serviceable DBs in FA. We need *special* talent ont he offensive side of the ball if we're going to make any sort of leap. We need to stop talking about LeSean McCoy like he's Lesean McCoy and Frank Gore may as well be John Doe at this point in his career. Unless we have legitimate game breaking threats, we really don't stand a chance against teams that can score at will.

EJ Gaines is there until he gets hurt and we have Kevin Johnson, Taron Johnson, Ryan Lewis, Levi Wallace. A ton of young CBs already on the roster. One will step up. We're far from fine at WR. We have 2 career journeymen, one former UDFA that had flashes, and a former 2nd round pick that appears on his way out. There's not a dominant presence among them. Barely.

It's a pass-happy league and we can't pass. go get the WR.

The fact the DK has fallen this far is insane. He have to move up to get him. I don't see how the pats took the guy they did.

That's a real bummer.

DK Metcalf David Sills

Naked, same as every year.
