I think missing OTA's is a given. He would be risking injury in a contract year and sounds like no where near in negotiations. I know it's probably 1 and 1,000 of like tearing a knee but it's not completely impossible.

I wonder if Deion realises he's probably the biggest reason Shedeur hasn't been selected yet.
He's a major contributor to it but I think overall, Shadeur isn't that good.

That’s great but maybe you should have said he can draft defensive backs after the 4th round because those two examples of players no one wanted for 120 picks ,and 200 picks that worked out. The extension of Benford is worrisome though with his two rapid fire concussions. My issue is I would gone with the Michigan corner over Hairston if injuries don’t matter.
Or maybe you shouldn't have said he can't draft defensive backs....now you're criticizing him for finding late round talent.
And already have labeled Hairston as a bust.
Man, you studied that Michigan corner really hard where you can't even remember his name. Good job on that research.

Beebe's offical combine time was 4.42
Does anyone know where the 4.25 time comes from ? Interweb research is inconclusive...
Bo Jackson apparently jumped over a river that could fit a Royal Caribbean.

Was injured for most of the season, trouble locating the ball downfield and is not great at tackling. Scouting report indicates he will struggle with big receivers. This guy’s not a first rounder. What happened to the big swing with the extra pick. Between his insistence on alienating Cook and this wasted pick, I’m hoping Beane’ stubbornness and the fact he can’t draft defensive backs is his only weakness. Having Elam and Bishop on his resume doesn’t instill confidence.
LOL
Here's a mock draft database where it collects NFL draft sites/scouting reports on players. This is about 100 sites stating he's a 1st rounder.
https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/players/2025/maxwell-hairston#google_vignette
Here are defensive backs that Beane has drafted. You're right, its a FACT he can't draft defensive backs. Both of those guys below, I guarantee won't receive a second contract because Beane can't draft defensive backs.

Make sure to look at the refresh rate, for a real smooth 4k experience you will want 120Hz
My friend just told me about this....I had no idea what it was.
I have seen one that was 144hz.

Hisense is Chinese company if it matters to you(so is TCL). I have 4 older Samsung plasmas that I still use a well as a Sony OLED which has great picture but streaming is a little choppy for live sports. It's 4 or so years old so maybe they've sorted it out but I don't stream on it 99% of the time. I'm not a fan of LG products but almost pulled the trigger on aN 86" OLED at costco. I think they had it for 899 and the picture was great but may do a projector whenever I finish the basement.
I don't know if it's still the case, but LG and samsung used to supply sony with the oled panels themselves.
I have a 50 inch LG in my bedroom. The quality is decent but the functionality is slow.
Once the home screen pops up, it takes about 10 seconds before I can scroll...it just stays frozen until then.
I will have apps that will just not work and then I will have to unplug the TV for about 20 seconds....turning the power off doesn't work.
Live sports will get choppy here and there.

First question would be what your budget is.
OLED and QLED are 2 different types of TVs and technologies.
A QLED TV is just a regular LED backlit TV with a color filter on the screen. Sony also has this technology. It’s called Triluminous.
An OLED Tv is much different. OLED = organic light emitting diodes. There are literally BILLIONS of small light emitting diodes that can each be turned off individually from each other, which creates almost infinite contrast and true blacks, with no blooming.
Where as with LED backlit TVs, there are maybe a few hundred LED’s (on the high end LED TVs) or maybe a few dozen on lower end LED TVs. Some are what’s called “direct lit”, where they have LED’s across the whole screen. Sometimes they can be turned on+off individually and other times they are turned on/off in zones. It depends on the TV. Some low end LED TVs are only edge lit (only have LED lights along the edges of the TV).
There is also a new lighting technology out called “mini LED”. It uses more LED backlights than a standard LED but still not as many as an OLED. But the mini LED get significantly brighter than an OLED.
Almost any new Tv is going to be 4k capable these days. I do think it’s worth owning a 4k TV. There is plenty of 4k programming and movies these days. Most of my streaming services broadcast in 4k. Amazon even broadcasts some of the Thursday night football games in 4k.
As far as brands of Tv - Sony is my favorite brand and has been for decades now. They are far and away the best when it comes to picture processing. Their processors have been #1 for a very long time.
depending on your budget, I’d recommend at least a Sony 900 series LED. Or if you can swing it, one of their OLED TVs. (I own both their top end LED and OLED TVs and love them both, but the OLED wins hands down).
LG is also an excellent brand for OLED TVs (though I’d avoid their LED TVs).
If you are looking for a cheaper TV, Hisense is a decent choice. Their processing isn’t going to be on the level of Sony, but they have excellent picture quality for a cheaper TV.
I would strongly suggest avoiding the lower end Samsung TVs. They are crap IMO.
this is a great site for reviewing TVs:
Here is one I have been looking at.Would this be the lower value one you suggest to avoid?

I’ve got a 77” LG OLED TV in the family room, and we LOVE it. I ordered it thru Crutchfield because they had free delivery and it was about $200 less than Best Buy or Costco. Win/win. The free delivery saved me from renting a van because it would not fit in either of our cars at the time. That may be helpful to you.
I was watching Notre Dame play in Dublin and a box popped up asking if I wanted to watch it in 4K. Yes please! I learned that I get several 4K stations already, plus you can search in Netflix, etc for 4K only. It’s nice, but the picture is pretty darn good to start with.
I think of TVs a being disposable these days. I hope the next one lasts longer for you.
I have a Tacoma so I will be fine.Plus, I would rather handle the delivery myself for something this sensitive.
So with the QLED TV in a non-4k stream, you will still see a difference in picture quality?

While I don’t disagree with the basic point I thought one of the reasons to draft a big fat guy was to free up Oliver to apply pressure up the middle on passing downs.
I agree we need that, just think you can get that type of guy later on.

RIP Dave.
He was always a pleasant guy when I interacted with him.
Really hate that his last few years of his life were a struggle. As a Bills fan, it really sucks he never saw a Super Bowl win.

My 65 inch Roku TV of 5 years just crapped out on me a few days ago. I get audio, but no video.
I'm sure there is a loose wire or something like that where I could remove the back, troubleshoot and figure it out. But it's a standard HD TV and this give me an excuse to upgrade.
So, I would like at least a 75 inch, I will go up to 86 inch for the right deal.
I'm not a TV expert so I'm hoping you guys have some answers.
- OLED and QLED....what is your opinion overall on both and which would you prefer and why?
- 4K streaming. I have YoutubeTV and have the standard package at 1080p. But you can pay $10 a month to upgrade to 4K. But, how many channels, programs and events come in 4K? Is it worth it to upgrade to premiums or is there just not enough programs that run on 4K?
- Size. 86 inch as a man sounds great but I don't want to lose too much picture quality. Best Buy has sales right now and two I'm looking at are 86 inch Hisense and 75 inch Samsung. Both QLED and the specs are roughly the same. I know Samsung is top quality but I don't know anything about Hisense. The Hisense is about $300 cheaper.

Ideally. But the first round varies year to year in terms of what is a first round graded player. We’re essentially drafting 2nd round graded players at the high 20s and 30s. Just take BPA.
I think I heard the Bills have only 12 - 1st round graded players. So anyone past the middle half of the 1st round is probably a 2nd round graded player.

Mcbeane both commented on size and power both end of year and at the combine. McDermott said they had to really take a look at what they have done to date and knew they needed to make changes.
McDermott's comment was in regards to bigger DT's than he normally has. The power thing came from Beane in regards to speed. McDermott said we must stretch the field vertically.
When McDermott says they need to make a change that is HUGE. That tells me he knows adjustments must be made to get over the top.
That is why imho, a BIG 1 tech, a CB with size and speed and a WR who can stretch the field will be our first 3 picks. I am going by what I have hear from the Mcbeane duo this offseason, combined with what Philly did to KC.
I may be wrong,but I expect that is how our entire draft will go.
I would think for a 1st round 1-tech, it has to be someone that can play all 3 downs. I don't see them spending a high value asset on a big guy who just plugs holes....they can wait to get that guy in like the 3rd round IMO. I just don't see them using a 1st pick that would play 30%-35% of the time as just a run defender.

There have been days where it was long and I just want to be left alone and go home....not talk to anyone. Even people I like, I just need some time.
So if I see too many people waiting at the elevator waiting to go to the parking deck, I will keep walking, make a circle and then go back to the elevator once it's clear.

Here’s How Much The Federal Government Is Spending To Make Nurses Less White
The purpose of the initiative, known as the Nursing Workforce Diversity (NWP) Program, is to “increase nursing education opportunities for individuals who are from disadvantaged backgrounds (including racial and ethnic minorities underrepresented among registered nurses).” It is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of HHS, and has distributed nearly $200 million in grants since 2008.
The notice refers to a glossary from the Bureau of Health Workforce to define “underrepresented” racial and ethnic minorities. This definition excludes both whites and Asians, and only includes American Indians or Alaska Natives, black or African Americans, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics.
What a great idea!
Asians and whites with disadvantaged backgrounds excluded lol.
If you're Asian or white and poor....you're on your own.

She can act though. Unlike a lot of these women that Hollywood had kept force feeding us, like Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow & Jennifer Lopez.
At least Hailee Steinfeld has actual talent.She was the best actor in True Grit. I thought Jeff Bridges was great as Rooster Cogburn but I thought Hailee stole the show.

I am trying to prepare myself for what looks like a bunch of perceived reaches in the first round. More than any other year, there does not appear to be any consensus on stuff aside from Ward is going 1 and Carter and Hunter are the two best players. Outside of that, it seems that mocks are really all over the place.
I think we just have to prepare ourselves for more "Ricky Pearsall" type of moves where guys go in the first round who draft people had going in round three, creating perceived reaches. This draft feels like it may be a little unconventional.
I honestly think this is the weakest draft class I have ever seen.
I have been a fan of the NFL my whole life but really paid attention to the draft since I was in college....so 25 drafts and this is #25.

I've always believed the only reason the NFL was ever concerned about recreational drug use was because they had to be obtained illegally and could lead to drug dealers blackmailing players to fix games. With marijuana legal in many places, there's no need for a ban. However, they still don't want players coming to games high as a kite.
I think you're overdramatizing by a lot.
You can get weed, coke and pretty much any drug pretty easily anywhere.

Brett Boone really fell off of a cliff after the Steroid List came out.
Bills First Rnd pick in 2025 draft: Maxwell Hairston - CB - Kentucky
in The Stadium Wall

I think it's unfair to state a coach that doesn't hit .1000 with each player at a certain unit means they aren't good at it.
That's like saying Bill Bellicheck wasn't good at developing DL talent because they once drafted Dominique Easley.
