@HOUSE You mean, once the worst QB in the universe was off the table, nobody was gunning for the 2nd worst? ?

Oh, you mean Ryan Gates: https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2018/06/wgr_producer_follows_through_on_quitting_due_to_buffalo_bills_drafting_josh_alle.html Quote from the article: "There are plenty of other examples of people backing out on promises on social media, but WGR-550's Ryan Gates is not going to add his name to the list. Gates announced on Monday that he'd be stepping down as producer of Schopp and the Bulldog and host of The Nightcap after promising to do so in the event the Buffalo Bills drafted Josh Allen with Baker Mayfield or Josh Rosen still on the board." I'd be willing to bet he's doing fine, though. Probably working in one of Robert Graft's (intentional misspelling) shadow corporations that buy refs, or maybe running a tug n pull parlor down in Boca Raton. Yeah... he's fine.

That's one looooooong hallway!

No worries, bud!

The best part of this clip is Brady, at the tail end, looking over, ostensibly, to the refs for a flag... typical Patsie move: it didn't go my way? Ref... why not?

@PrimeTime101 What's up, AB? I'm a high school wide receiver. Can you give me some tips to help me improve my game?

There... I fixed it for you.

There you go! I'm sold.

Cuts on a fishing line?

After seeing that, you gotta KNOW Shady's going to like this guy. Zero risk / potential high reward. Nice work McBeane!

True: Drafting a guy is an investment of significant capital (especially for a guy like DK, who will go 1st round, by nearly all accounts). True: OP stated that Duke is better than any draft prospect WR in this class. Where this argument falls apart is the investment side. We've invested next to nothing on Duke; whereas, were we to pick up DK at #9, or trade back into the teens to nab him, THAT would be a major capital investment. Part of the reason it's such a major investment is that you know you're drafting a guy in his early 20's (unless it's a BYU kid or a military service situation). Part of the reason we spent chump change (not the whole reason, BUT I'd argue a significant element of that reason) is precisely what you stated: Duke is 25. What I'm saying is that you're comparing apples to transmissions... different circumstances; different expectations; different sunk costs; different expectations.

I agree, but also, moving on from Juan Castillo needs to be factored in here. I know Dawkins admitted he relaxed his focus a bit last year, but some of his sophomore regression can also be attributed to Castillo. We can't be in much worse of a position, line coach wise, and a lot of the gelling that needs to take place this year will be on Bobby Johnson's shoulders. I'm hoping that makes a big difference in what we see on the field!

My three fave designs, in no particular order: Giants, Panthers, Colts.

I know, right? Since when did we become the Chargers? ?

Ya mean T.J. Derpenson and Andy Derpsabella? They seem like derptastic draft choices, though. Why not?

F5 F5 F5

@C.Biscuit97 Wings were done before the pick. I needed razor focus to will the Bills to the right selection ?

I have to admit that I made a complete fool of myself at Duff's in Rochester. My girlfriend and I went together to grab wings and watch the draft. She likes the Bills; I bleed Bills. When Allen was picked, I dropped out of my chair, onto the floor of the restaurant, saying "No! No! No!". I then pointed at a Pat's fan at a nearby table and said, "Congrats on another 20 years of AFC East Dominance!" We left before the Edmunds pick. I was surprisingly not drunk. I was more than surprised to be flat out wrong!

I feel like that's something very few people consider: the dawgs you're up against day in and day out, in practice, can really benefit you, if they're good. Great point!

Good question. Possibly.

Yep. Schiano's family all started having stigmata appear on their foreheads. Mark of the Cheats. Schiano returned to his faith to try and get the dark marks to disappear from his loved ones. It's a private, family situation.

Thing that scares me is he was born in Toronto... is Buffalo too warm for him? Just sayin'. Harry will be fine with the weather.

And we all know there are devil horns beneath the hoodie...

Can I buy this man a beer? ? ? ? ?

In a brilliant and thoroughly unexpected move, McBeane wows the NFL by becoming the first team to draft an Offensive Coordinator...
