Da webster guy

There aren't a lot of stars in free agency that have good character that fit the Reich mold. Frankly I thought Beasley and Landon Collins were the top two Kyle Williams type guys in this free agency that Indy should have acquired. Funchess for $11M is laughable. Their fans have to be groaning.

Croom will beat out Kroft in camp, and he's stronger, heavier and faster. Showed some good blocking, Josh trusts him. Kroft has a red zone knack so they'll both be active, but Kroft basically missed the entire season last year. McD isn't going to care who gets paid more, he's starting the guy who earns it.

Foster is big, if Duke can earn a starting spot that's two big dudes right there. I see what you mean though. Not many little guys are durable in the NFL. We have McKenzie, Brown, Beasley all small quickies.

Hmmm. Zay had an excellent season with Josh, not always from the slot, but..... I don't know what to think about this. My prediction that we are going Defense in the first, then Risner in the 2nd, then Best Trench Player on either side is coming true.

Yup. He's a lot like Goodwin but hopefully a little more durable. Has had his share of injuries but also knocked out a 1000 yard season with Zona. The guy can play for sure, I picked him up in fantasy last year and watched him for a few games. Isn't just a go route guy, had a great hitch thing going with Flacco. If you're playing a cover 2 defense and you put him and foster opposite watch the seams open down the middle. CB's can't run with either one of these dudes. Even though he's little, to me he's very impressive at contested catches, which Goody never was. He'll love Josh's ball , Flacco throws a rocket when he needs to.

Like Buddy Nix always said, everyone overpays in free agency. There are no deals to be had. I'm glad we got our guy at C. Now lets get our LT in the first and have him compete with Dawk, loser goes to the right side or in Dawk's place guard (where he was projected to play all along by most scouts)

Not worried about the guy's health. Concussions get the royal lawyer treatment these days, and he came back and played fine. You don't see center's leaving football because of concussions like you do running backs, LB's, etc. Foot injury isn't a recurring type. Now we have an athletic center, let's draft an LT in the first to compete with Dawk in camp. Loser goes to RT or in Dawk's case he plays guard which is his body type anyway.

Jawaan for me, and I think he beats out Dawk for the LT spot. Dawk should be a guard, as he was originally projected in college and showed this year with his inconsistency at tackle. I still say we are going defense in the first, Risner in the 2nd and then WR/RB/More Oline

only certain offenses are designed to get big production out of the TE's. Indy, Philly, KC, NE etc. I don't think we're one of them, and I don't see us picking a TE high for that reason. I think Croom will be our starting TE next year and do fine. Give me the killer Oline, a young runner who can catch passes and learn from Shady, and one more WR we will be set.

Exact same size and speed as Croom, who flashed some nice receiving plays this year including some outstanding blocks singled up against edge rushers. I will keep an eye on this guy Warring, but I'm predicting Croom emerges as a very good TE this year. He can add 5-8 lbs, keep improving his run blocking and be a pro bowl player (flame away, but I had the same feeling with Croom as I did for Freddy Jax when we first got him on the field, you can see the dude belongs). If they sign the blocking TE from New England I predict they'll go for a late round sleeper type guy like a Warring. I don't see them going for Irv, Fant, Hock or burning a high pick on a TE.

Definitely a reasonable Oline, I love that scanario. I don't think the Bills board will have Hockenson ahead of some of these defensive studs though. Even in a trade down I don't see Beaner as the type of GM that drafts a TE in the first. The may sound weird but I think Croom is going to blossom this year. He's 6'5' 250, can get open, runs a 4.69 40, good hands, and had some impressive blocking singled up on edge guys this past season. I do see them going Risner in the 2nd. Praying for a trade down so we truly go BPA.

Too juiced up to even tell what his real NFL body will be like. Maybin 2.0 I think there is zero chance we take this guy. I have an unfounded hunch he's got the Sammy disease, gonna live on the injury reports. Steroids beat up your ligaments, tendons, and joints. I know he's technically clean now, but what damage has he done already. A.J. Brown or Parris in the 2nd. I saw Astro's catch rate breakdown and cried a little to see Hakeem Butler at less than 50%. Im giving up on him.

Maybin 2.0 When the juice wears off we'll see what he is. Sorry but i dont trust the combine results with players who have obviously bulked up with steroids.

He was def overdrafted but if he were thrown into this year's WR heavy draft, i'd think Ross would go somewhere in 3rd round. Not sure about work ethic, motivation, brains, personality etc. That weighs huge with our team.

Center Defensive depth Thats all we are getting in FA because thats all we will need. When Beaner trades back we will get a 2nd and a 3rd. Thats two per round 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. A dozen picks in all. This year's free agent class is lame compared to the exceptional college talent pool this draft.

Dude you really think its MONEY that makes an old guy pay for a hummer? Its male sex drive. Has nothing to do with how many zeroes you have.

I see your point, and I think there is zero chance Beane would burn a first rounder on any TE, but the good ones like Kelce, Kittle, Ertz can really open up an offense. I think Croom is for real next season, and hope we burn most of our picks on the big boys in the trenches on either side of the ball.

In "some scenarios". I don't usually laugh out loud but you got me. Augie peakin after 24k posts. Look out

It was a good trade, although we burned that pick to move up and grab Tremaine instead of staying put and uh...maybe drafting LB Rashaan Evans and then using the Cleveland pick on an Olineman or something. Not saying it was a bad move, only that it sort of reveals that drafting for need is a part of Beane's history.

That would be it for me. The travel and the freakin bore of the game. Rain delays and living in hotels with 80 plus road games. In football you have 8 road games, and its an action packed sport. Baseball can be exciting, but damn the other 95% of the time I wanna take my own life watchin that sport zzzzzzzzzzz

Well, as buddy nix used to say, everybody overpays in free agency. Hard to believe we couldnt retain Woods for $8m and now guys with less talent are getting $12m

Well, he got ONE out of 32 correct (saquon to the Gmen) Interesting that he had Josh going first to the Browns and Tremaine going to daBears at 8. I posted this because I forgot how ridiculously off the mark every mock is, every year without fail. I think the only time I ever guessed right on the Bills was Dareus, and a lot of people saw that happening. Kiper may be a blowhard, but he's well connected and he has a 97% fail rate. Right in the meaty part of the curve.... https://www.espnsa.com/2018-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-mel-kipers-picks-1-32/

Haha I do love Hakeem Butler, but you're nuts if you think Tate or Williams will be as good as Foster next year. They started targeting him in week 10, and he lit it up with elite production. Got huge separation and caught everything. His average from week 10 on puts him at almost 1200 yards and 7 TD's annually on a very reasonable target number . Nobody could stay with the guy. Tate was sub 800 and Williams at 650. I say with Duke, Hakeem Butler, Zay and Foster you'll have some excellent options. Beane's not dumping money into another Jordan Matthews type guy just to have a name around.

Well, he played guard in college, was projected to be an NFL guard, started at RT but sort of got LT by default because of Cordy. Coaches have said they'll look at it, to me he's the perfect guard because of his freakish strength and anchor, which is why I'm betting that drafting a LT is happening 1st or second round. He's fast enough to pull too. Plus he can catch the rock, in case we need a backup TE or something woot woot. still my favorite play of the year....

Oh yeah this can only help us. Remember how much the QB fever ramps up with all the workouts, interviews and combine stuff. Even if he doesn't go top 10, it's still one more player we don't need that someone else will burn a high pick on.
