Spot on: Oliver's brother went to Houston, and Oliver followed him. It's a cool story, actually. He turned down some major offers to do so. Says something good about the kid's character, if you ask me.

There... I fixed it for you.

Never! Just poking fun at the haters, ya know?

Oh yeah, I mean look at how he botched the comp pick formula by signing all those free agents this year! Now how are we supposed to get comp picks? Isn't that how you win in the NFL? We're doomed... At least that's what I read, here.

To be fair, Darnold seems a bit more manish than the little whimpering patsie who works hard on his cookbooks in the offseason.

Peterman be like...

I concur. Only way I see this not happening? 1) If Simmons is there at 9, we take him. 2) If we drop to 15, and Wilkins is there, we take him, and pray we can package extra picks to move up and draft Hock, too (I would J in my P for a week, if this happened). (For those who don't know the reference, it is NSFW, so look up J in my P on YouTube. Don't say I didn't warn ya).

I, too, am down with the Clown(ey), ???

There... I fixed it for you.

Yeah, but lame troll is lame, tho.

Thanks for the dose of reality!

Glad you and AB had that nice little fireside chat, and he told you all the details.

Yeah, I'm not 100% that it's true, either. Just posting because some might find it interesting. If it falls through, more anti-Rapoport fodder. If true, it's good info. Either way, can't hurt to share.

Not sure if it has been posted, but here is Ian Rapoport's interview about it:

Guaranteed! Put them in the bank!

I'm going out on a limb to say we'll win two games next year ??

I believe both of my statements were hedged bets, at most: "2018 hasn't panned out fully, yet. Teller has potential, but we aren't sure what he will be. Taron Johnson looks like gold, and Neal I'm on the fence over. 2018's 5th round could end up producing a stud and two starters." And I said I was on the fence over Neal... I'm not sure if you're trying to make an argument, but there's really not one to be made here. I said the jury's out on 2018, but we can't look to the past regimes' drafts to indicate how successful this regime will be at finding diamonds in the rough in the 4th and 5th round. We clear?

I like the logic, here, @racketmaster, but I think we need more time to judge the value of this regimes' 4th and 5th round picks. The 2017 draft had Whaley's stench on it, so that's hard to argue over; you almost have to toss it out as a partial-past regime draft. 2018 hasn't panned out fully, yet. Teller has potential, but we aren't sure what he will be. Taron Johnson looks like gold, and Neal I'm on the fence over. 2018's 5th round could end up producing a stud and two starters. Thanks for the reference of past years, though; it's good to consider.

No. You're right. The Patriot Way is finding new methods for breaking the rules and getting away with it. They will get another pick because Bob Kraft will get off with a wrist slap, because none of the holding penalties against Hughes were called vs the Pats, because...

I doubt he has that issue in a Bills uniform ?

DK and all the message board hype ninnies be like:

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.

I fixed it for you.

Bob: Make it Orchid good. Tom: is this good enough, Emperor Palpati... I mean, Bobby ol' buddy ol' pal?

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.
