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? ?

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!

Bills official Top 30 pre-draft visits

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! -
Schiano steps down at Pats D Coord
ROCBillsBeliever replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -

Which RB are we spending an early round pick on?
ROCBillsBeliever replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A lot of the mocks I've run simulations on have Snell going 4th or 5th. We have the ammo. He was very productive, and besides being solid in the run, he was an excellent screen / receiving threat. I'm down with this. -
Wait, you mean you can hurdle an LB, throw a rocket 70 yards, and still be smart? Paradigms smashed! Posters proven wrong! Universes ripped apart!
