I love McDuffie. And I did think he fit our scheme really well. We will never know if they liked Elam more than McDuffie. I am annoyed that he wound up with KC, because so I badly want to route for the kid, and now I can't. But I do agree with what is being said in this thread that Elam seems more of the flavor of corner they are looking for. Kansas City will probably move McDuffie around a bit and he will be a pain to play against, but I am good with how things fell.

Classic JESTS. Is Sauce a meme somewhere? ike the Jon Travolta looking around thing?

Haha! I would appreciate that. But seriously, I am always willing to admit that I am wrong when we take receipts. And I am wrong a lot. So I am just pointing out that I had some level of success in a fantasy board draft. Also, a lot of people said a lot of really dumb stuff over the past few weeks that was extremely inaccurate so I hope they take some receipts as well.

Elam is long. He is tall nearly 6-2. His arms are "short" so to speak at 30⅞", but considering his arm length, his wingspan is huge by relation 76½". That is a bit longer than Tre White's 76.125 inches. So next time we have the arm length conversation, I am thinking wingspan is more important to these guys.

In TSW mock draft 1.0 I had the Eagles taking Jordan Davis, which was met with doubts. I think it is the perfect fit. In 2.0 I had the Texans taking Derek Stingley (at 13). Banging the table that Stingley he is better than Gardner. The League agreed. In 3.0 I had the Saints taking Olave. That is why i love those drafts that @Virgil organzies. So much appreciated. It is was a really interesting draft and there is still a ton of talent on the board. Excited for today.

Anybody still think they think super highly of Dane Jackson? I kid, I kid. He is good depth and he will push Elam as Beane mentioned in his presser. All that conjecture about the regime not spending on #2 corner and all that jazz was just wrong. All that stuff about not starting a corner and all that was inaccurate. Elam was my "I would settle for" pick in that other thread. I wanted McDuffie. I thought it was going to be Booth. It makes a lot of sense and I have felt since the jump that there were 4 top corners and the Bills would make sure that they got one of those guys. Where I was mistaken is that I had Booth in that top four rather than Elam. We can argue Booth till we are blue in the face, but he is still on the board and there must be a reason for that. When Beane says Elam was the last first round pick on the board, I believe him and sacrificing that late pick to move up to secure him is the right move. They got a guy in the first round with a first round grade. I am good with this. I think that he's a good piece of clay for the Bills to mold. The bottom line is that they got a lot better, the level of ability between Elam and Dane/Levi is extremely significant.

Been saying Stingley is awesome.

Marquan mcCall! Love that dude 6-3, 379 and he can move Likely is a good weapon in the RPO game. I like his upside. I like TY too!

Jones has good traits. He was over drafted, thrown to the fire, and had some awful coaching. Where I kind of blame him, is that I fee like he could have corrected those flaws in the offseason. So I am curious to see where it goes. He is similar to Darnold in my mind. Rejecting the option makes a ton of sense, and you put the honus on him.

I like to look back at those “way too early next year mock drafts” that everyone posts like the day after the draft. He was the projected first round tight end before the season. So its projection. Bills have shown interest and it is totally worth a late round shot.

Is that on ESPNU or something?

No problem! You just have to be patient, because they do rehash a lot, but then they circle back to highlights and analysis for guys who were picked while they were rehashing and interviewing people.

Because he is a righty! Jesus was a lefty.

Yep. He’s the best corner in the draft. Probably the best player.

Unpopular opinion, but there has been a shift and ESPN coverage is better. Their highlights are better and they show highlights and analyze almost every pick over three days. I like Mel. He is like a savant in a weird way. He’s super awkward, but I like his analysis. Not a McShay guy. It was unbearable when Gruden was on. I love DJ and I really liked Mayock. But they skip over picks too much and sometimes just show the scroll at the bottom. ESPN does the scroll, but they always circle back and analyze the picks and show highlights. So I will watch NFLN a lot tonight, but will watch ESPN the other days because they actually talk about the picks and show highlights on days 2 and 3. The ABC feed is for people like my wife who like the stories and the stuff like that.

I agree, but would add Stingley to the list to make it 4.

It's the right move. If he is good all of a sudden from better coaching, you just franchise the dude.

I just hope they come away with one of them somewhere in this draft.

Totally. A 1st round receiver this year probably won't even play much. But serviceable running backs are easier to find. Serviceable wide receivers are not good enough. I think that is the difference, at least in my mind. And Kenneth walker looks like he was shot out of a cannon. Maybe it is because Hall is bigger. Big running backs look slow. Like, Freddy Jackson always looked slow to me, but he was running right by dudes.

I get you. And I do like that Hall has break away speed and can catch the football. Then he can have more impact on the game. My place is that you can find guys like that outside of the first round. If Hall can impact the game getting 10-15 carries a game with 2-3 catches mixed in that's great. But is that worth a first is my question.

To be fair, no one gets outside in the NFL. But I agree, I didn't like the pick because of lack of upside. i think he would excel in a Ravens top gap scheme offense. But again, you have to feed him carries for him to really impact the game.

RAS for Singletary is so low because he is small and slow. Those two things will kill a score. Size has a big factor in those calculations, but speed is more important. he lacks in both those areas, so low score.

I like the Tyler Smith spot. I think his floor might be the Saints' second pick.

I think most of the list is garbage, but i think the biggest thing is the injury stuff. The only one who has "made it" and stayed healthy is Gordon really. But you are totally correct. Every year there are line 5 guys whose 5th year options re not picked up and some of those drafts were just complete garbage. At the end of the day, it probably all evens out. totally that 4.39 time

Booth match makes so much sense. Nice work!
