Moulds would be in the hall of fame if he didn't have 8 different crappy QB's throwing to him. I don't think you can assume any player in any draft will be that good. When you get guys like that you consider yourself lucky.

If the bills had 29 they would have made the same deal.
I don't believe the Bills would want to give up a first round pick, and more, and then have to pay the guy.

Wow. They gave up a ton. Glad the Bills didn't do that.

No. That's just dumb.

Well I got accused of hacking on another board and banned permanently when I would not tell how I did it. It was not hacking, just a weakness of the software of the board and if I wanted to hack a board the board would be down for a while.
Good for you?

Spreadsheets are great. I've made a career out of them. But he won't be a top draft pick because of that. It will be contingent upon his physical abilities. If he is physically dominant already and able to translate that to the NFL, that's when the extra stuff comes into play like game prep and spreadsheets. That could take him to another level, but only if the physical ability is already there.
I'm sure there have been a lot of smart players that prepared in innovative ways that washed out of the league because they couldn't match up physically.

Also a complete failure to develop talent. Maybe some of those players we drafted could have been contributors, possibly.

Wow. That's definitely thinking outside the box. Lot's of trades.

Yeah, I don't believe that will happen for Allen. He didn't have even average stats last year except for the scrambling. He should improve upon that or there is a big problem.
But we have seen QB's have sophomore slumps. Dak Prescott is an example. RGIII is another, and I don't believe his fall from glory was only about injury.
-
Yes. They don't need to even take one. Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

There literally cannot be a pattern. A pattern requires at least 3 data points. Beane has only been here for one draft and McDermott only for 2.
So no, I think there is no pattern and we cannot make assumptions based on the last two drafts.

I’d have the 2011 draft rated higher. The class is so good they don’t even list Patrick Peterson and Aj Green
I agree. That was a heck of a draft.

I only included the players listed in the videos, but yes I noticed some quality players not mentioned from a few of those drafts.

Pretty good list. Any snubs? Do you think this is a good order?
-
That seems like such an obvious smoke screen to me. A GM would not want to tip his hand like that.

I’m curious about the Ravens. Will they have any semblance of a passing game? Will teams figure them out and make it a tough year?
They got pretty figured out in the playoffs. They were a train wreck on offense. They couldn't do a thing in the passing game.
I think they will grind out 7 or 8 wins because they have a quality coach, but I don't think it'll be pretty.

Especially since all reports show that the next guy on Bills Board was actually Mason Rudolph, not Lamar. Mason would have been the pick at 12 if this draft fell this way. Thank god it didnt.
If that's the case they would have traded down, surely.

Because they need a QB, and Darnold was one of the best in a pretty darn strong QB class. I’m not a big fan of taking RB’s early. Especially in the first 15-20 picks of the first round. JMO.
But that was also true when they made the Barkley pick. They chose to ignore the fact that QB's are 100 times more important than RB's, and they would do it again. The only thing that should change a decision like that is if Darnold, Allen, Rosen, or Jackson had an amazing year OR if Barkley didn't do well.

...and the Giants still take Barkley over Darnold? No way.
Hmm. I think Darnold kind of just played as expected. He didn't have an amazing rookie year or anything. Showed flashes and had some highs, but had some lows and lots of turnovers. Exactly as advertised. Why would they change their mind?

He has us taking Lamar Jackson. Puke. Also has Foster going in the first round. Pretty big jump from undrafted to first round. Also has us taking Calvin Ridley.
Edmunds drops a few slots but still goes in the first round.
After 1 year our QB goes higher, our LB falls but still goes in the first round, and our undrafted WR goes in the first round. Guess we had a good rookie class.

And no, I think it is impossible for us to go into NE as favorites by adding a bunch of rookies.
The only possible scenario is if our team somehow takes a humongous leap and is leading the AFC by the time we face the Pats for the 2nd time at the end of the season. Other than that, we won't be favorites.
-
Honestly, I don't think we do. They have a cake schedule this season. We do too, though, minus the Pats. No reason we can't get a wild card this year.

Ah, I just assumed that it was already dead.

Nobody, but then they also can develop their own draft picks and not have to pay him a mega deal for 4-5 more years.
