Bring it

You’re probably right on with Hock. It seems strange to be looking at a TE at 9 but in today’s situation with college tight ends it’s necessary if you want an all around complete player! I’ll be happy as long as we get great talent somewhere!

Wouldn’t be surprised at all! Or if it’s the Pats moving up to do it!

I like where we are at 9! At least, we can end up with a big improvement in the trenches or at lb! 9 seems early to take Hock but how long do you wait? He’s the best all around nfl ready TE. Maybe we can get back into the first round but not too much later. Can’t wait!!!

Years ago I wouldn’t be happy with a TE at 9. But something to consider is that the TE position in college differs more and more from the NFL, almost on a yearly basis! It’s increasingly more difficult to get an all around TE from the draft. Hock is as close as it gets. Still, I’m not saying that we have to draft Hock. IMO we need to get a big impact player almost every time you draft in the top ten whether we stay at 9 or spend draft capital to move up some! Something else that that has me thinking about this particular draft is that we may not pick this high again for a decade or more. At least not very often. As long as Josh continues to improve into what we all hope for! I tend to be conservative but this year if there is a really good player still on the board at 4-7. Go get him!! In the Super Bowl years we had great players all over the field! Kelly,Bruce, Thomas, Reed, Bennet,Tasker etc....

Great reasons for drafting Hock! I’m on board if it helps Josh and Shady be better!

I’m right there with ya! Probably how he turns out will depend on Josh!

Ultimately it is totally up to Mcbeane, probably more McDermott, to find out what kind of attitude and work ethic these prospects have. QW is dominate,now! Have to admit my thoughts did go to Dareus! But that’s not really fair to QW.

Makes him hurdling Barr that much more impressive!!

Unless there is a gamebreaking difference maker available at 9 then take a player that makes a significant upgrade to a position. Even when a team has needs at other positions.! So yeah BPA does apply but if a real game breaker is there then take him.

Yes and no. If QW somehow is still available at say the #5 pick then if Mcbeane think his attitude fits buffalo then yeah. Go get him, he is too talented not to spend some draft capital on. Especially a big man that dominates!! Would be happily shocked if he was there at 5. I’m thinking the Jets at 3.☹️

I’ll take Brown. Big, powerful, shifty, had to be gang tackled, break away speed, ball security and could run either between the tackles or outside!! Sanders had all the moves and was great to watch. Classy guy!! Just flipped the ball to a ref after scoring! Loved that about him! Would have loved to have seen Bo Jackson play longer!!! He was dominating and could do it all.

Tough to say because the owners were different as well. Pegula definitely is more willing to spend money although Beane has proven to be frugal so far. I don’t have proof but I think the AB issue was that we weren’t willing to pay what he wanted. But Beane like Polian recognizes a game changer when he sees one and at least tried to get him without hurting our future cap too much!

I’m thinking that some day it will be viewed as a genius move!! All depends how Allen and Edmunds turn out!

Well said! Although I don’t agree with everything. I mentioned race in my post , maybe I shouldn’t have. Kap was protesting unjustified shootings by cops not necessarily only white cops. But it was pretty clear that the shootings he was addressing were toward black men. Other players joined in and although I can’t remember who, they referenced killing of black men by white cops. Kap certainly had every right to protest peacefully which he did so. Kudos to him for that and for his courage! IMO him timing it with the anthem was initially bold and certainly attention grabbing. But after publicly stating his reasons for kneeling and not his reasons for doing it he continued to kneel. I feel that was disrespectful( I didn’t need a conservative talking head for that) placing this issue over our country and that union of people itself. This country is not perfect to be sure. Never will be because it is made up of humans. The status quo should still not be accepted as long as some humans dehumanize others. I have had this conversation with non white family members. Thankfully the conversations have been respectful and somewhat enlightening ! Politics almost inevitably are brought into this. Which side has not at some point treated the other unfairly or ridiculed one another. Sadly that includes me too. Christ teaches grace in these situations. Something people are not familiar with!

I haven’t checked your final season stats but based on what you said I agree. He was good enough to be given another opportunity in the league! But I also don’t blame any team for not wanting to invite controversy into their franchise. That doesn’t mean their was collusion within the league to keep Kap out necessarily. He kinda did it to himself regardless of whether there really was collusion!

Proof? No doubt that some of these killings are unjustified! But I’ve sat a jury enough to also know that the general public and certainly not the media hear all the evidence in a case. And yes one piece of evidence can change a lot! Did Kap have access to evidence in these cases and others that most people don’t? We don’t know that either way. I certainly don’t think that gunning someone down because of their race is right! But, I sure wouldn’t want to be a cop and have to go into some of these hair trigger situations either. No matter the color of the people involved. I guess my problem with Kap is his kneeling whether intentional or not disrespected the many good cops that are out there. Along with our vets! Now he has profited from it. That leaves me disgusted!

My feeling exactly!

Interesting stuff! Thanks for putting in the work. I agree that Allen isn’t that inaccurate and doesn’t deserve the label as such. However he does have much he can improve on such as accuracy and touch on short passes. Maybe it’s the velocity on his passes is the reason for the drops? The one thing that has stood out from other rookies is that he rarely puts his throw in a spot where the defender can get a hand on it. Definitely better than Darnold or even Mayfield in that way. And his yards per attempt is up there pretty good too.I have been very impressed with Josh so far!

Hope you have inside info on Brady. I was hoping he would have retired on top after the SB.

Way to early to tell! Rosen may pan out but our Josh has a great attitude and is a crazy good athlete to boot!

I certainly think Josh can improve in the short game. I don’t recall him doing a lot of it at Wyoming. Don’t know about Reedley College. His accuracy issues are almost all footwork and repetition!

Talking about the huge sum promised in the future such as state pensions. Promises made to get votes but where will that come from? Not sure if the state will be in shape to help with a new stadium that isn’t down state where the votes are!

So true!

For sure. Everyone will want to be stoned to deal with the pain of what’s coming in NY

No invite here. 2.5 billion is only a fraction of the real debt! Doesn’t look good!
