    Any Love for Bryce Love?

    The RB class looks pretty good this year so I would look to be picking up somebody else early-mid Day 3....

     

    Given his injury status, I would only consider Love in the 7th and probably not even then.....

     

    Part of me agrees.

     

    Another part of me thinks back to last year's draft, when people all balked at Sony Michel's "bone-on-bone" knees. And he dropped... to the Cheats. And just how did that work out for Bellicheat? Pretty damn well. Rings talk, and Michel was a big part of their late-season ground-and-pound that ate clock while Mahomes and Goff rode the pine, waiting to see the field.

     

    I'm just saying, Bryce Love's injury might drop him, but his Jr year, he was sheer magic. Might be worth a 4th.

    Conditional Picks - The Pats

    Its very easy actually. The hidden magic formula is really Players gained vs players Lost. If you have more players lost then gained you qualify for a compensatory pick. Then they take the Average Annual Salary Of the players you gained and the players you lost and match them as equally as possible.  

     

    To have a player qualify thy need to meet a certain salary threshold as well. Players signed that were cut from other teams do not count in the players gained column

     

    For Example: 

    Buffalo lost:

    Seantrel Henderson 

    Preston Brown

    E.J Gaines

    Joe Webb

     

    Buffalo gained:

    Murphy

    Lotelelei

    Stanford

    McCarron

    Bodine

    Bush

     

    6 gained 4 lost = no picks

     

    Now the Patriots were a question

    Patriots lost:

    Nate Solder

    Malcolm Butler

    Danny Amendola

    Dion Lewis

    Joe Bademosi

    Cameron Fleming

     

    Patriots Gained:

    Adrian Clayborn 

    Jeremy Hill

     

    Patriots lost 6 Gained 2= 4 possible comp picks

     

    Solder AAV is over 15 

    Butler AAV is over 12

    Amendola is almost 6

    Lewis almost 5

    Bademost 3.1

    Fleming 2.5

     

    Clayborn is 5 AAV

    Hill was 1.3

     

    So now match em up. 

    Lewis and Clayborn cancel each other and Hill and Fleming cancel each other

     

    This leaves Solder= 3rd round, Butler 3rd round,  Amendola 6th round, Bademosi 7th round based on their AAV

    But... but... but, had the Bills lost the 6 players the Pat's had lost, this board would have lost its s$#*, run McBeane up a flag pole, doused Kim and Terry in petroleum, and lit everything on fire.

     

    That's the difference: we lose four players and people freak out. The Pat's smartly jettison six, and reap the benefits. 

    Marquise Brown LisFranc surgery

    For any Yankee fans of my vintage, you will recall Chien-Ming Wang's lisfranc injury, and how it completely derailed what was pointing towards an all-star career for the pitcher. This article gets a little science-heavy, but it's a good note of caution:

     

    https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/x-ray-vision-chien-ming-wang-pitching-arm-foot-article-1.410641

     

    A player like Brown relies on his feet to gain separation and make ridiculous cuts.

     

    My vote: HARD PASS, after seeing what this injury stole from the Yankees.

    Do you understand  the huge contract the Ravens got to dump, compared to Taylor? 

    Yep. My point was that Beane made a good move; this is counter to what a lot of negative posters on here say about Beane. We should be glad about that, as Bills fans.

     

    Part of my point, too, is that I feel as though there are folks who post on here who are definitively NOT Bills fans, and they hate-post, troll, whatever you want to call it. These folks will never admit the Bills are capable of making a good move. So part of my point was also to address that.

     

    I won't deny that the salary dump the Ravens scored is a major factor in the deal; I'm just comparing deals and players dealt, and saying, "Hey... Looks like the Bills made a good move, here."

    In an article today from Buffalo Rumblings, a salient point was made regarding Beane's continued witchery (link at bottom if the post). In it, Matt Warren notes that the Baltimore Ravens received a 4th round pick for Joe Flacco. We all know that Beane wrangled a 3rd rounder from the Browns for Tyrod. 

     

    But if you break it down, the pick we got from the Browns was at least 40 spots higher (this is BEFORE compensatory picks are revealed) than the pick the Ravens received for Flacco. 

     

    If you think what Beane pulled off was a bad move, in light of those numbers, you either:

     

    1) Are a Pat***** troll

    2) Failed Kindergarten math

    3) Take Hatorade, introveniously

    Maybe we aren't the worst... maybe we sometimes make good moves. Maybe it's time to start to Billeve!

    After an extensive investigation, it turns out that sports beat writer, Nick Shook, had done all of his research on not the Buffalo Bills, but on Mr. Bill's Bowling Lanes, a defunct bowling alley in Columbus, Ohio. When confronted about leaving Levi Wallace out of his report, Shook was quick to remark: "That twerp couldn't break 150 if his life depended on it."

    ESPN 2019 Power Ranking; Bills... 29th

    That’s funny.

     

    They have the Dolphins at #22, even when the write up about them admits they are about to go on full rebuild.

     

    You would think team about to execute full rebuild would automatically drop to the bottom of any power ranking.

     

    But that would require ESPN writers using logic and reason, neither of which are methodologies allowed by contractual agreement when signing on as an ESPN employee.

     

    As some might inquire, a few methodologies allowed in ESPN's employee handbook:

     

    1. The spaghetti-against-wall method

    2. Algebra

    3. Drawing straws

    4. Tea leaf readings

    5. Asking high-school tennis coaches for hot takes

    Good. Crazy to see mock drafts with us taking him. Obviously the people doing the mock drafts know nothing about the current Bills FO. He will probably end up on the Redskins or Bengals 

    (Mind of deluded mock drafter):

     

    "Hmm... let me see... team I know nothing about... ESPN says they need D line help... woman team president... God-fearing coach...

     

    I know... They will pick the lady-beater DT I heard about from the internet!"
