Dart looks like a young Robert California

They do. But they seem to love making the fun positions to pick in the 1st round. They draft like it's Madden.

Will Atlanta take yet another 1st round offensive weapon? Golden would be a guy that can help Penix.

I loved Grant. He's dead to me now. Watching Torrence abuse him for the next few years will be therapeutic.

Right now Dolphins McDaniel is begging to draft Golden...

That's a LOT to give up for a guy with that many combined snaps in college. If he keeps that pace playing against NFL players he won't have a long career IMO

Kiper also said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen didn't turn into a franchise QB. He lied.

Problem is the Bills have not had Grant in on a top 30 visit that I have seen. I have 23 of the names that they did have in. But no Grant. Only once in Beane's years has he drafted someone not brought in for a top 30 in the first round (excluding COVID YEAR WHERE VISITS WEREN'T ALLOWED) and that was Kincaid. Besides once the dust settles I expect Grant will hear his name in the top 20 picks.

I would hate to give up a bag of footballs or a half eaten ham sub for this guy. Sorry but this is the NFC version of Jalen Ramsey. Loud mouth, over rated and over payed, once a good player that gets by on name recognition and a couple splash plays a year.

I find it interesting that at no time in this predraft process was it reported that the Bills had Kenneth Grant in for a top 30 visit. That's my guy right there too. Now, the list I follow only has 23 out of the 30 visits reported, so he may have been and we don't know it...but if not I would call the odds long we hear the Bills call his name on night 1 even if he is there for us. If I'm not wrong the only time Beane selected a guy not in for a top 30 visit in a non COVID situation was Kincaid.

Dueling *****. Quite the cockfight...

Wasn't broken. I said what I meant.

My dream scenario involves Goodell tripping and falling in the way to the podium to announce the first pick....and having him unable to announce picks the rest of the draft. Or he stays home and does the picks from his "man cave" like he did the COVID draft and just like that gets more and more obviously drunk as the night progresses.

Imagine if the Bills were owned by the same person as the Sabres. Yeesh....

What many want is the ability to watch the draft and discuss it with friends here. Kinda hard not to read them when the village idiots come into the thread...a thread that is often even labeled with please don't spoil picks...and start interjecting them along with the rest of the messages. I do think having 2 threads is the better call. One for people that just want to watch the draft with suspense and discuss it...and another for those "LAMP" posters that peaked in high school and are craving attention.

Because most likely, the player they would take at 30 is going to have a second round grade, anyway. So trading down into that 34-36 spot and pick up the same level player with an extra pick in your pocket is the smart play IMO. Even if you get a 4th back you can package and slide it back up and into the 3rd where we do not currently have a pick for a guy that may have been a mid 2nd grade and has slipped. Again, that's all depending on how the board plays out, who is available and who is left when the Bills pick. The meat of this draft is in the second and third rounds anyway.

I'm in lockstep with you. Both in who I would like and who I think they take if he's there. Of course, everything depends on who is on the board when they pick and if they move up or slide back I'm also very open to a small slide back with a team in the early second round.

All I know is this. Whoever the Bills select early will cause the majority of this board to meltdown because they wanted someone else on the board. And by day 3 people will be talking about guys selected in the 6th round that they think will legitimately start this year. Up next: People thinking every preseason cut we make will be claimed and never make it to the practice squad.

This would make a lot of sense. If I had Hunter I would play him both ways....game plan specific. Such as say the Patriots were to get him. If I was the coach I'd play him on defense mainly that game against Allen. When we played the Jets ..don't really need him against Fields so he would be at WR and rotate in on obvious passing downs. Would still have to make the opponent prepare for him on both sides of the ball too.

In addition, if he does play both sides he's got double the snaps exposing him double the possibility of injury. And if he does get hurt you lose a top offensive AND too defensive weapon on your team at the same time. Not to mention playing both ways will likely have him burnt out before the playoffs begin.

It's the voluntary portion so it's not the big deal some make it out to be. Now if he does the "hold out/hold in" thing once it's mandatory...that's another issue. My only concern is that it seems to me (without hard stats to back me up, just from what I observed over the years) that guys that miss early off season workouts seem to be more suspectable to soft tissue injury that plagues them during the season. Hamstrings, groin, that sort of thing. Time will tell...

One of life's better questions. Who has better weed...Snoop or Willie Nelson?

I'll watch night one. On night two I'll typically flip between the draft and WWE Smackdown. I'll follow along here to see who goes where. By Saturday most of the players I know are drafted and the coverage on TV is about the first 2 days and recapping the last few picks very minimally so I lose interest completely.

The coaching is a key part. New England put on a clinic of how NOT to develop a young QB. They put a really bad WR core around him. A bad OL. And then hired a mediocre DC as his OC and a ST coach as his QB coach. Not saying he would have been a great player but man they did NOT do him any favors in his development. Nix is a perfect fit for Sean Paytons offense. They have a couple decent weapons in Sutton and Mims. I think he's gonna be ok.

Bond has a better chance going undrafted completely then going round 2 to anyone IMO.
