I root for who i think is going to win it, so give me the Chargers and Bears. After them two, I like the Rams. After that it’s a game by game basis.

Consensus number one according to media outlets. You’re not seeing people within the league or even media members quoting ‘execs’ or what not talking about Metcalf. As it gets closer to the combine, his injury issues pop up more and get examined deeper, his physicals gifts start to get offset by what he lacks intangibly, he’ll start to fall. I’d bet lots of money that he won’t be the first receiver off the board, maybe not even one of the first 3.

You've gotta watch the film, you can’t just rely on media outlets for this stuff. Both of these receivers are reaches in the second and maybe worth their value in the third. Metcalf is oft-injured, has sub par hands and can’t run routes. Hollywood Brown weighs 170 pounds and also has sub par hands. He’s so small that when he’s holding the ball it almost looks as big as a toddler in his hands. 170 pounds is how much i weigh, and i’m typing this behind a screen while taking a deuce on my toilet (ala, 170 pounds doesn’t take you to the NFL). He was 138 pounds going into college so it’s unlikely he’s going to add much more weight to his frame. These guys just just come from big market pipeline schools so it was easy for the media to find them, expect their draft stock to fall towards draft time and new names like Kelvin Harmon will be the ones we’re hearing about and eventually seeing go in the first round.

I was excited for this game thinking we’d see a big day from Josh and a possible upset in foxboro until i saw this bold underline combo. Then reality struck and I realized we’re likely in for a long day, back-to-back losses and a 9-5 record? The Patriots first year in 8 year that they won’t eclipse 12 wins? The Patriots are declining but they haven’t disappeared yet, these past couples weeks were nothing more than a wake up call. Unfortunately I think they have a big win brewing in foxboro and a meltdown looming here in Buffalo.

Watch out for WR, Kelvin Harmon out of NC State. This guy has #1 WR potential and would fit our offense well. A little excerpt from my scouting report (the full ones will be made available here closer to draft time)

Not exaclty; but I'm also early in the process compared to where I was at this time last year. Deebo Samuel is a unique talent, but a troubled injury history will likely keep him out of a Bills uniform, and even if we did take the gamble on him, I wouldn't expect much out of him.

Just finished up some tape on Metcalf.. Why so much love? I see a riddled injury history, broken feet and neck surgeries don't just disappear. These are recurring injuries. His athletic talent is surely bright and dazzling, but what about the intangible receiving skills? Those matter too. He's got very, very limited experience in a complete route tree, almost all of his (little) production came from vertical routes and he had extremely inconsistent hands. He's a low day 2, high day 3 project pick. I don't see a first rounder and solution at number one receiver out of him.

Here's a quick series of tweets focusing mainly on the offense and the first half. https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044654227392536576 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044654737986134016 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044681407111532544 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044682586927366147 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044683557845766145 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044684623119306754 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044685178264842243 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044686491484598277 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044686990048980992 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044687774195109888 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044688089782849536 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044688539668164610 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044703574419283968 https://twitter.com/the_big_bills/status/1044703826446626816

Sorry for the ridiculously long post, it doesn't make sense to me that the forum doesn't separate them once they get that long. However, that's one of my personal accounts if any of you would like to follow it, that'd help spread a brand @the_big_bills on twitter. There's also more on twitter than what I put onto here, that's just some of the key players.

Got quite a bit of content here, so, some of the stuff that I think will be found most interesting.. Nathan Peterman Josh Allen Star Lotulelei Tremaine Edmunds

In a college football forum that's not that popular, I figured it's better to keep all of these in the same thread. Trey Adams, thought to be a first round pick both this year and last year, is out for the year with a back injury. His year ended last year with a torn ACL. Those are two devastating injuries to try and stay healthy with.

Coming into today, I was a big fan of Jarrett Stidham, he continues to impress. He may be the best QB in the 2019 class. Derrick Brown is making a name for himself. I was only able to watch him on tape for one game last year, he looked a little raw but today he's looking like a complete prospect with second round, or maybe even late first, potential. Jake Browning has very little NFL potential. His arm simply isn't strong enough and he has issues with consistency. This year is about whether he's a mid round pick solid for a backup spot, or a late round pick coming in as a camp arm fighting for a roster spot. Myles Gaskin is a smaller and less athletic version of Christian McCaffrey. He's got good quickness and agility but his lack of athleticism is going to kill him in the NFL, looks like a middle of the road pick. Trey Adams missing the game is killing him. A torn ACL and now missing this game with a back injury, those are injuries that linger and will hurt his draft stock.

6th rounder with the conditions to make it a 5th? cant see us paying much more

I chose the Vikings, but the Bears will surprise and put up a serious fight. If Mitch could take a step forward, there’s serious weapons on the team. They signed Trey Burton who I think will surprise a little bit and perform much like his mentor in Zach Ertz. Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel give a good one two punch with size and physicality verse speed and deep threat. Anthony Miller is going to come out and really surprise from the slot, he’s got a tremendous skill set and I’m very surprised he slid as far as he did in the draft. This guy is going to develop very similarly to OBJ. Then you’ve got a terrific backfield in the proven Howard and the sophomore in Tarik Cohen. If Mitch can pull it together, this unproven offense should turn in a much more consistent performance this year to go along with an already solid defense.

Just out of curiosity. Its better than implying that the Falcons would accept Jerry Hughes and a 2nd for Julio Jones. Or that Fred Jackson, Adrian Peterson and the freshly retired Demarco Murray are going to replace Lesean McCoy, in case of his absence that doesn’t seem to be coming to fruition. Or even that a 2 QB style offense in the likes of a ‘relief’ QB is going to take over the NFL. Now, where you would have gotten me is if you asked why i posted it in this forum because there’s probably better boards I could’ve placed this poll in. My apologies for that.

also 19

I’ve noticed that it seems a lot of the content on this board varies by age. While it’s hard to tell most people’s ages directly, it’s easy to be swayed in a certain direction by the tone of their posts. This got me curious about where the majority of the board is aged, my guess is that most of the people here are between 30-50, which is kind of the opposite of what i’d expect. With it being the internet I would think that it’d be a little younger of a crowd. Feel free to comment and share your age, but if not, I left the voting private.

- Giants and the Bears both produce top 15 offenses. - Bears win atleast 8 games. - Nate Peterman starts week one. - Deshaun Watson doesn’t play nearly as well as expected. - Patriots still win AFCe, but Brady starts his downfall.

I admittedly need to watch him more before i’ve got any sort of final opinion on him, and that’s with a whole season upcoming, but yes i’ve watched him against Arizona and Arizona State. What I mean in the difference between arm strength and velocity is that he can chuck the ball 70-80 yards, but he can’t necessarily zip it into a tight window 15 yards downfield.

draft breakdown hasn’t been updated since around january now though. they made you pay that $2 for the membership and then stopped uploading videos.

I've seen a lot of Herbert near the top of quarterback boards.. If this stays true into the draft, we're looking at an extremely down year for quarterback's. I see a lot of Josh Allen in Herbert, except Herbert is a worse version. He shows good arm strength and mobility, but his accuracy is horrid. While he's got a big arm, his velocity is average at best. That being said, Herbert is the only quarterback I've watched thus far and haven't put any work into Drew Lock who is another consensus pick at the top of quarterback boards.

For the guys that watch full film rather than highlight reels on these players.. Are there any resources outside of a youtube search?

If next year is supposed to be the year, i doubt we’d trade out in this scenario. Grab the elite guy at the top of the board and stack as much top heavy talent as possible.

In the scenario of shady getting hurt this season would become a complete train wreck and disastrous. Thats probably the the worst case scenario.

a 2nd for Coleman is ludicrous, a 3rd for Coleman is a madden trade.. id offer a 5th and if not i’ll wait to sign him extra cheap after he gets cut this year or next
