I havent watched the traditional draft coverage in years. Going back with Lefkoe and Simms. Too many more entertaining options now with real analysis. With the announcements delayed for TV the internet has the information way faster by picks in the teens Tv is multiple picks behind. Heck even Mcafee will have Gms on before or after their selections. Even when I tune in for the Bills pick its a commercial or barely talk about them.

I see the opposite. He has had Deon Sanders coaching him his entire life. Its been a zoo for him playing football his entire life. Since midget league he had to deal with that and the chatter he is only playing because he is Deon’s son. If he didn't have the right stuff that pressure would have folded him years ago. Jackson St bottom program he won. Colorado bottom program and he won. After Sanders and Hunter who else is getting drafted on the team? Mind you Hunter never practiced to rest his body. My perception is Sheuder is the target for Deons hate. Accurate passer with an NFL arm who was successful with poor protection that elevated two different programs. His last name is making it more complicated than it should be.

I think thats a little overblown. Not a single credible analyst has Sanders that low. His historical grade is somewhere in the range of Mccarthy, Nix and Penix. All went first part of rd 1. He is not the prospect that Daniels, Maye and Williams athletically. Neither is Ward. I think the question is the amount of teams that need a qb is low and there is a gap between the top two players in the draft. Hunter and Carter are the only blue chips players in the draft. No matter the year they are top 5 picks unless qbs go 1-5 or 1-4. Cle and NyG are likely taking them. That leaves a handful of teams left in rd 1. I could see Cle or NyG coming back up for a qb. Its lying season. Cle or NyG or Pitts want him to slide so they can get him on a discount. I think he will be a very good qb very quickly.

I dont see him as anything but a Shorter type prospect. Has all the physical numbers but why are they not productive? At no point in college was he dominate. They have Shavers dont need another imo. Too many productive players to draft a guy with such limited probability of success. With Metcalf you could explain away his production with injury. In 20 less college games metcalf had more tds and only 150 fewer yards. Thornton is fouls gold. Go with the formula that landed Davis and Shakir not the one that drafted Shorter. Day 3, late day 2 target for me is Tory Horton I think he will be steal at WR.

Right. Why doesn't Stefanski get any blame for kicking Mayfield out. If he wanted him he would still be there.

UDFA

I dont think they have the horse power on offense to make a run at the division. I think thwy will be around 9-10 wins. Unsure about the Jets with Glenn. I think its a clean house job year 1. The McDaniel mastermind comes to a crashing end imo. Miami wins 5 to 6 games and the team quits on him.

He also came out this offseason and took the blame for it. Stefanski and Berry do not get nearly enough blame for souring so quickly on Mayfield. They were out on him which opened the door for going after Watson. Could have had Mayfield for half the money and retained the draft capital. That is on the football people in Cleveland. The owner bellied up to the table to fix the problem. If he wasn't convinced Baker wasn't the answer the move doesn't take place.

Curious if a little lighter he could play power end.

If you trade up to 2 you take Carter. Carter is a better pass rusher than Hunter is a wr or Cb. Biggest weakness is lack of premier pass rusher. Carter will be pro bowl to All pro caliber for 10 years.

Worst contract in sports. NFL PA ruined fully guaranteed contracts for decades due to that deal.

Too much dead cap this year. Post June 1st 160 mil dead cap over this year and next. Plus still owed 43 mil. 2026 not much better at 120 dead cap spread over 2 years 2026 and 27.

Vrabel is best coach of the other three teams. They will take advantage of a last place schedule. They don't have the offense to threaten Buffalo but they will be buttoned up and surprise some teams.

At age 39 went over 1300 yards and 40 over 1100

Jerry Rice career yards or Tds are so far it’s crazy. Gotta average 1,144.75 yards and 9.85 TDs for 20 years to tie him in both areas.

Jeanty is good but not needs be damn good. Stevenson was just paid for New England and Jacksonville has 2 solid backs.

Giants, Cle and New England are not drafting a Cb in the top 5 imo. He is getting drafted to score tds.

I agree with this. If Beane drafts a DT in rd 1 they will have pass rush ability. Many that do have pass rush ability are 3 techs and not a scheme fit with Ed. Harmon has the size imo to hold up at 1 tech. He can be disruptive in the backfield vs the run and offer pass rush ability. The traditional nose tackles who are 2 down player will be the targets in rd 2.

He has the natural catching ability and agility to be elite at wr. He has only practiced in the offseason. During the season he didn't practice. He has alot of growth potential at either position. His best attributes are those of top wrs. Someone with his speed, agility, and hands dont play defense for long.

On tape he has had no issue with press. What he lacks in length, he makes up for in stature. He is not an X but Z and Slot in the NFL are not that different. Every play has either a shift or motion element. Bills need a deep threat he is that. Imo he is the most well rounded wr that offers that dimension in the draft. Fast in game and timed. Produced in college. Is versatile to play multiple spots.

Imo Douglas comes back if Buffalo doesnt draft a cb early. He is waiting to see how it goes. Insurance for Buffalo to avoid another Elam pick.

That tells a different story than your conclusion. What is your concern with him playing outside? What makes you feel he cant succeed outside in the NFL?

Watson was in a more run first offense that explained his production. Only thing that has slowed him in the NFL have been injuries. Tenn and Oregon are both passing offenses. Seems more like Justin Shorter. Blue chip high school recruit, good off the field, that was unable to be productive. Late day 3 imo. Watson was an early second rd pick and way more productive.

I think Beane is reasonable. Comes down to what Cook and his agent have to have. Imo come TC Cook takes a deal like Benford and Rousseau. In the 12-13 range. Beane wont lock the door. A knock and a little give they make it happen. A top 10 back is worth paying at the moment. It’s an under paid position. Cook has been a better rb than Shakir has been a Wr and Rousseau has been a DE.

With Coleman and Palmer they do not have a need for a full time outside WR. Imo they need a guy interchangeable with Shakir. I think Shakir will be the move around piece in the offense when not in the slot in motion. Noel can do jet motion gadget stuff. Smoke screens, pure slot with a real vertical ability. Im not saying he is 100% outside but he is functional. He is a bigger, faster, more explosive Zay Flowers with the same arm length. Buffalo needs a guy who can win deep. Who cares if it’s from a stack or slot? Noel would be the most explosive wr Allen has ever had. If he was 2 inch taller 2 inch longer he is a top 10 wr.
