Six Feet Under had maybe the greatest first season of any show I've watched. But then it just turned into this self-indulgent, people suck marathon. It got old after awhile.

Hyde was fine last year. Poyer was better. They are both good safeties.

This. Don't really understand the hate on Poyer. He was the best safety on the team last year.

He is probably thinking of Eric Fisher.

Watch the tape on the tight ends coming out in the draft. Outside of Noah Fant the guys who are being considered top tier Tight Ends all have major questions. We had tight ends in the 400-600 yards range all but two of the last eight years. Scott Chandler and Charles Clay were decent tight ends. You cant expect a tight end to get 8 touchdowns when your Quarterbacks are throwing less than 30 every year. I understand the need for a better player at tight end, ideally we would have a pro bowler there, but my point is we are not being realistic. There has been some good tight end play for the Bills over the last ten years, last year not withstanding, and we have guys screaming "We havent had a good tight end since Riemersma or Metzelaars!" Keeping in mind Riemersma never eclipsed 600 yard in a season, and Metzelaars did it once.

He had 18.5 sacks the last two years. If Shaq Lawson could muster that the 5th year option would have been a no-brainer.

I hear this said a lot, the question is where do you get these top flight tight ends? Only four tight ends in the entire NFL made it into the top 50 for receiving yards last year. You could go get Jared Cook, but is he really top flight? Or did he just have a really great year? The draft is a crap shoot and they arent generally available in free agency. The issue here is perception. The Bills had an above average tight end for the last few years, until he was completely derailed by his knee issue last year. However, fans thought he sucked because he wasnt Travis Kelce. We dont have a top flight tight end who can do it all because they rarely come around.

It was very cool to see him in the press box with Beane and McDermott. It looked all too right.

I wouldnt say very little impact, but he hasnt been DeMarcus Lawrence. I think he is being wasted as a OLB and is probably more suited as a 4-3 Defensive End. But I wouldnt want the Bills to spend the money to find out.

I'd be ok with it if they can get him for a 5th. He is still relatively young, and doesnt have a lot of miles on the wheels. I've always kind of wondered why he was so underused as a runner though. Then again, may want to explore Tevin Coleman in free agency first.

I think they will go after Preston Smith from Washington. I would say a creative way is to go after an RFA, however there arent a lot of those guys worth investing in.

Pretty sure a former teammate came out and said "I told the Steelers if they pay him, they will create a monster" The guy has given plenty of reasons for people to have an opinion about his actions. He also has 70 million reasons not to care.

Marshawn Lynch probably isnt the best example. Antonio Brown currently has a blonde mustache, about all you need to know about his intelligence.

Has always reminded me of the Logan Thomas situation coming out of VT.

He's done the same for me. And I honestly get sick of all the race bs. But, I am also for equality and if a white announcer would have called Lamar Jackson a unicorn and then turned to Smith and said "if I see a qb who looks like you, I know I can play" his career would be over. Not to mention it would be the headline for every news outlet. The Smith incident never made a blip on the radar.

Forget who he was speaking about. But it was on the NFL Network Pre Game show. He said "They got a unicorn out here playing cornerback." Turns to Kyle Brandt and says "I don't care if I am 54, if they got a guy who looks like you playing cornerback I can play" Everyone just laughed that nervous wtf laugh. I was waiting for it to trend of Twitter. About 4 people brought it up, no surprise. He is a world class jerk.

Steve Smith is a jerk. Still not sure how he has a job after calling a white defensive back a unicorn this year and expounding on the fact by saying if he saw a white cornerback in warm ups he would target him all game. Catch the ball and get over it.

Gotta watch the tape. He is fast, and big there was never any doubt about that. He also ran very limited routes in college, didnt show great hands, and wasnt required to do much blocking. I still think there are about five in this draft alone who show better on tape.

They have set a trend of not trading guys in the ACC. If he goes anywhere its Washington or New York. Washington makes the most sense to me as they don't have the picks to move up.

Absolutely love this kids game. His film is much more diverse than Metcalfs, feel like he is less of a project. He may never be Larry Fitzgerald but if you can get him mid to late round one I think he has immense value.

His Instagram got hacked at the "hacker" removed all his photos from the last two years.

Does anyone else see Cody Ford as a Tackle? Every time I watch him I see all guard but they keep pressing him as a tackle. Even during the Drills I saw guard.

No.

Just watched three games on Hockenson and to be honest I am a little surprised by all the Gronk and Kelce comparisons going on. He is definitely willing to do it all. But aside from having really good hands he doesnt stand out as an elite top ten talent. He is a good blocker, but he is also streaky at times, especially in the Penn State and Mississippi State games I watched (that Mississippi State defense was fast and nasty). He has some size but wouldnt say he plays big, in fact he comes across as a smaller H-Back despite being 6'5. I will be curious about the speed but he doesnt look like a 4.4 or 4.5 guy on film. I also didnt see crisp route running. I saw a guy who would sneak off an initial block and get wide open rather than getting open using route running skills. Three games doesnt tell the entire story, but I would be against the Bills taking him in the top ten.

Agree to disagree. I think the defense has a reputation on this board because they had a ton of sacks and a cool nickname. They were fun to watch, I agree with that. But I also think the defense benefited a ton by playing end of career Vick twice, Tannehill twice, Manziel, Bridgewater, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Jay Cutler. They also disappeared when they needed to pull it together against the Broncos, and 3-13 Raiders when the season was on the line.
