I'm guessing teams know more about his situation than you do.

I think they'll be about the same points wise. They were the #1 scoring defense last year and I bet they'll be around that this year. The difference will be their ability to make key stops in key situations when facing other good teams.

You answered your own question. He has medical issues and had a bad year.

Exactly. They are less scary on offense than they were before. That's just not going to get it done in the AFC. The Ravens are always competitive and well coached, but I don't think they did anything to put themselves over the top. That's the problem.

I give them a solid B. Without the 1st round trade up I'd bump them up to a B+ or A-. But I guess we have to actually see how they perform before really casting judgement.

No. It's just a weak class. Everybody has been saying this for awhile.

Out of the stadium!

Two games versus New England, for sure.

Yes!

It does.

I wouldn't want to have a team where my best players are all rookies.

I guess we'll find out, but I doubt the Bills finish as the #1 offense in yards. Maybe the #1 scoring offense. The Bills have an elite offense which is what matters.

Spelt is a type of wheat.

Belichick is a great coach. That's undeniable. He is a great defensive mind. As a GM, it is a mixed bag for sure. He has brought in overlooked players in the past and gotten good production. I don't think he has ever been anything but an average drafter, and more recently I'd say he has been pretty bad in the draft. I do think Brady has covered up a lot of deficiencies on offense over the years.

Teams don't grade players the same. Some teams take guys off their draft board completely for whatever reason. For instance, I bet Beane didn't have the top QB's on their board at all because they knew they weren't taking one. Maybe they took some guys off their board because of medical concerns too, or dropped them down their board. Some players are better scheme fits for certain teams as well. So, even if you are picking at 25 and only have 21 1st round grades, there is still a decent chance that one of those will get to you. For the Bills, if Elam was the last guy with a 1st round grade, that is a good reason for them to trade up a couple of spots to get him, especially if they had concerns that other teams might trade up ahead of them to take him.

Because he played for the team.

I like Kyle alright, but I don't get why he was chosen for this, honestly. Because he says nice things about the Bills on national television? Doesn't everyone do that these days? He isn't even a Bills fan. How could he be "Bills Mafia"?

I'll be impressed with the Jets if they can manage to get any of their good players to 2nd contracts. They tend to trade all their good players away before the end of their rookie deals. They've definately been a team that just accumulates talent instead of building a team and a culture (and I put the Dolphins in that same category as well). Maybe that changes, maybe it doesn't.

Something like this: "This division has some great wide receivers and I'll have work my butt off to prepare for them, but I believe I am up to the challenge."

"I mean offensively I can be optimistic. We have a lot of talent there. But they aren’t even trying with this defense. He wants us to suffer against Josh Allen." Hilarious.

I'm glad they took him. I didn't want him.

So happy we didn't draft a shrimp corner or a RB in the first round. And we added speed in the secondary. Perfect.

Nope. It's just a bad draft for QB's.

People prefer ESPN? It's not 1998...

4th round or later. 3rd is just too high for me, even the end of the 3rd. 4th is very high, but I could be convinced it's the right move. We have our kicker. If we can get our punter for the next 15-20 years, that would be a big benefit to the team. Then again, if everyone is focused on this one prospect, maybe that means other good prospects have been overlooked and they can draft one late or sign a good punter as an undrafted rookie free agent.
