NewEraBills

LOL, this didn't get worded by what I meant. In my mind I picture AJ and Nate having an advantage due to experience over Allen and therefore he probably won't get the nod, BUT since all of them are learning a new offense then it's not a given that the experience that the former two have will be a huge factor.

Regarding the QB's I think the only area that Peterman and McCarron have an advantage in is NFL experience. Peterman not by much (1 yr). They are all digesting a new playbook although with McCarron he should know some of these things. I think it's just going to boil down to execution and who can execute best.

I found this one. A bit more accurate ? LOL, what do you think of this one? Less hulking and more accurate facemask.

This guy has some special teams ability but not much more than that IMO.

This is what I'm thinking. I think it is more of they may have something in place to deal Shaq for a WR or OL help but they want to make sure they have what they need in the event they deal him. Given this guy's production and given Shaq's upside, I'd rather keep Shaq. But the offense needs help in a major way at WR and in the trenches so if Shaq can be dealt and we get help at WR or in the trenches then see ya Shaq, best on your career. And it's also more like they need more impact on offense. IF Shaq is dealt I wouldn't be surprised if it is for a player in return.

Yeah but Ben to me is being a troll on this. They took James Washington in the 2nd round, who will more than likely see reps as a WR. Certainly Washington will help them in winning now if he has anywhere close to the season Ju Jus had last year. They took a versatile Safety/Hybrid linebacker in Edmunds in the 1st to help the defense. So taking a QB in the 3rd is a luxury pick IMO, of course he doesn't see it that way but you can't expect a front office to look at the Browns take a QB at #1 overall, then the Ravens take one at #32 and then all of his offseason antics about thinking about retirement the last two years, you can't expect them to just wait around until they actually need a QB to go get one. I'm sure they remember the Charlie Batch years. No team that has had the taste of not having a franchise QB, then having one, wants to revisit NOT having one.

WOW, what a moment. I mean, for Allen this has to be a spine-chilling moment. The other side of it though is man, Kelly is a warrior. After everything he's been through, he's fighting the good fight and still giving the Bills everything. HE did not have to do this.

http://www.nashvillemusiccitycenter.com/ 350,000 square feet of convention space. Or they can have it at LP field I suppose. Either way I'll be there.

If so I'm definitely in the house. There's a huge new convention center here that was finished I think three years ago now. It could easily hold the draft. I'll actually be there tomorrow for Heroes & Villians Fest.

I want them all to move well but stay healthy throughout the entire process of these early camps and training camp into the season.

Hopefully, the Ravens release Austin Howard and we can grab him. They drafted Orlando Brown Jr, signed James Hurst to a long-term contract and still have Howard. Stanley is the starter on the left side. Another guy to look out for the Ravens releasing is Breshad Perriman. Hasn't been able to put it all together in Baltimore. Wouldn't mind taking a flier if he gets cut.

Good read. After a week I'm liking the Allen pick (was certainly mad initially). I still have some reservations. I wonder what Daboll's plan is for him. I think we will be in for some great football in the years to come with Allen vs Darnold. I hope they both succeed but Darnold just has more bad games vs the Bills. But that would be something. Two guys, who trained together competing in the same division and pushing each other's teams to greatness, again, Darnold just don't do it vs the Bills LOL.

Might be affordable for them. Suggs will most likely be coming off the books soon too along with Jimmy Smith, Eric Weddle, the Dennis Pitta contract.

He has no guaranteed money after 2018.

On paper, I'd say yes. But ultimately it's really going to come down to the creativity of the coaching and play calling along with execution. To look at it another way though is that we have the highest QB ceiling situation in the league because of one person.

Given Dez's ego, maybe he thinks he can come here and make what outside OBD bleak QB situation look great and land him one last expensive payday LOL

I actually do. I am not forecasting anything. All I said was his climb doesn't disappear just because he's the Bills QB and because fans want it to disappear. I'm not saying anything negative about him. These are facts. True. Route running and setting people up may or may not have much to do with how athletic people are too.

Well, his nightmare continues here unfortunately, at least for now.

Looks like he could be a solid slot guy.

Look, I get it, he's our QB now and we live or die with him. But some people are trying to ignore that he has a major uphill climb. That mountain doesn't magically move because he's the Bills 1st round selection and because as fans we want it to evaporate.

He's a defensive end through and through and I think the transition to outside linebacker in Denver's 3-4 hurt him a bit. I think he'll be better with his hand in the dirt. Could definitely be a decent replacement for Hughes.

Foster has one thing going for him. He should have an inside track on the playbook. What he does with that will determine his position with the team.

Not sure what to make of that when Beane said there were "other guys" they would have been happy to take. If you got your #1 guy then why would you say that? Why not say, this was the guy we were taking all along regardless of how the other QBs fell into place?

If we have the number 1 pick I would take offers to see if we can stack picks for the next couple of drafts. I wouldn't trade past 5 or 6 though.
