Victory Formation

I can't comment on who I want there but I know for sure, I do not want anything to do with Baker Mayfield. Tyrod Taylor is a better player than Mayfield. He has average size, average athleticism, decent arm but he makes all of his plays in the shotgun or outside of the pocket. I think if teams forced him to stay in the pocket he would disintegrate. We already have that in Tyrod, project player with low upside. I'd rather we take a RB, WR or LB in the 1st. Problem with drafting DTs high is that when it comes time for their 2nd contract and they get paid, too often have I seen them get lazy. I don't think it's smart to pay 330lb+ big men millions of dollars, they get too lazy.

I'd take a flier, I like underdog stories. Could be cool if he stuck around, even as our backup QB.

People act like it's so hard to find a franchise QB. I bet you if we let an 8 year old pick a QB over the last 17 years we would have a franchise guy by now. I mean not finding a franchise guy for 17 years? Not even by chance? It's hard to believe our FO could be that abysmal. It is really not that hard.

This. ^ Cutting Tyrod is a parallel move if we plan on dumping him and signing a vet. We're better off keeping him and redshirting a high draft choice rookie. I don't believe for one second that Kirk Cousins is coming here, I would love it but I probably have a better chance at winning the lotto.

I wanted Mahomes, he reminds me so much of Favre. Deshaun Watson OTOH, I had no idea he was going to be the player he is so hindsight is 20/20.

I'm sure he will. He is stronger than hell, imagine if he puts on 10lbs. If he really works at it he could come in at 233-235 next year.

Shady has been such a good character since he came here, I wondered if he would even want to play for a city like Buffalo when we first traded for him but he has been nothing but a leader and a superstar on a roster devoid of talent. Worth every penny.

Will fire him in 2 years and then we'll switch over to a 3-4 defense after drafting for a 4-3 for 2 years.

Probably but it's impossible to say, Beane doesn't have a track record to really go off of but Dorsey is a known commodity.

This is a good hire.

I don't think he'll play again, I knew he wouldn't as soon as I heard it was a spinal injury, that never ends good. He'll likely be in chronic pain for the rest of his life, very sad. He was playing for a new contract, it's unfortunate he did not cash in before getting hurt, I hope the NFL compensates him handsomely.

Kyle Williams would have been a HOFer anywhere else.

Hell no.

Quarterback, if the talent level around him sucks, sign a veteran QB in FA while we redshirt the rookie. Bradford, Keenum or Bridgewater.

I think it'd be near impossible to hurt Gronk unless you go full speed and torpedo your helmet into his knee. They do deserve some form of payback, Brady would be ideal.

I hope they knock Brady out next game, put a bounty on him, try to end his career. Hit him early and often.

I'd really like a second RB behind him though. We really missed Gilislee, we need insurance and more importantly we need to spread the load so Shady doesn't breakdown in another year or so but absolutely, we should keep him. Great player.

You don't think players are using HGH? No offense brother but that's pretty naive. God knows what else they're using. Look at James Harrison's workout videos on YT, he is doing hip thrusts with 9 45lbs plates on each side and he's 39. No way that's natural.

Even if we draft a solid prospect, do you really think Dennison can develop him?

If they're not draft busts. With our luck, a franchise QB will be sitting there when we pick and we'll trade out again.

Cool.

Meaningless? Finishing 9-7 versus 6-10 may be a determining factor if free agents want to come here or not. If you ever played sports, losing is not fun for players, it affects their attitude long term on whether or not they'll want to re-sign here or maybe flip sides and go with the Patriots.

Wrong. We could have had Deshaun Watson, we did not take him, which points at our FO not knowing how to evaluate talent. I also think Mahomes is going to be a good one but that once again is just my opinion and NOT a fact.

Plenty of decent teams have found QBs outside of the top 10, obviously it would be ideal to have our pick of the litter but my point is, we likely won't have our pick of the litter, even if we lose out. Moving up 4-5 spots won't put any of the top guys in range. Once again, good teams evaluate talent and add good players in every round of the draft. If we have to rely on having a top draft pick every year to rebuild, we aren't going anywhere anyways.

People seem confused by my post, let me clear things up. Since when has the higher draft pick done anything for us? We've had high draft picks going on for 18 years, what do we have to show for? I'm rooting for 9-7, establish a winning culture. That's more important than 4-5 spots in the draft and besides, if McD and Beane are good evaluators, it shouldn't matter where we draft. The playoff teams seem to add talent while picking bottom in the draft.
