Thanks again. So who is the horse you bet on?
I'm betting on Rosen. It's okay if he's a little bit of a jerk. In fact I think he needs a no nonsense type of guy like McDermott. For Rosen its going to be if he can sit for half a season, who the starter is, and who the OC and QB coaches are.
Trade for Smith, trade up for Rosen and let him sit a year. To me the position is fixed. Don't know if it happens, but makes the most sense to me.

I said one month ago that the Browns are seriously considering taking Allen.
Rosen and Darnold at the core might not be too hot to go there... Allen would be honored to be the first pick and would run to Cleveland
I do think Allen is a great fit for Cleveland, and I could see this happening. I think he is going to jump up after the Senior Bowl and Combine. People are already saying he could be #1. I think the combine and SB can push him in front of Rosen and Darnold.

Highest passing percentages of all time in college: Colt Brennan, Colt McCoy, Kellen Moore, Graham Harrell.
I think the 60% rule is a bit archaic, as are the Parcells rules. The game has changed so much to really follow these as guides in my opinion.

Eli finished at 60% for his college career and was under 60% 2 of his 4 years.
Vick was at 56%, I'd say he was successful in the NFL.
Matt Ryan was under 60% for his college career.
Tom Brady was at 61% for his career.
Good stuff. I believe Carson Palmer missed the 60% mark as wel.

Everyone who said DeShaun Watson was another Tyrod should be tarred and feathered.
I cant comment on this Jackson kid, but the Tyrod comps are probably uninformed and lazy as well.
Agreed it is a lazy comp. I will say that O'Brien and the Texans staff adjusted the offense to fit what Watson does well and it was similar to what he was doing in Clemson. NFL defenses catch up to that stuff, kind of like what we saw with Kap, RG3 etc. I'm not saying this will happen to Watson, but I want to see him have success in a true pro system before I anoint him.

No im not a fan of baker. Short small hands and mobile. The unholy trinity
These are the exact reasons this regime is not going to draft him. I'm not saying he's not going to be good. He might be. But it's not a risk this regime is going to be willing to make. The off-field stuff doesn't help either. McBeane have been ultra conservative in their thinking so far and Brandon Beane has said that the most important quality for a quarterback is to be able to win from inside the pocket.
They aren't going to hitch their careers on this guy, or a guy like Jackson. I think they try to trade up for Darnold, Allen, Rosen. If they can't get one of those guys they develop Peterman and maybe draft a guy like White, Ferguson, or Falk later in the draft. If you aren't getting the elite prospect, you are really just getting another Peterman.
Just remember though, it is extremely early in the process.

Thats true. Then we could keep losing like always, but lose with a respectable D-Line.
I mean drafting the fifth best quarterback probably isn't doing the job either. We lost games because teams ran all over us, we had no sacks, and the QB stinks. So that's what needs to be fixed.

If you aren't getting one of the top two I say pass. Unless you think you are getting a Derek Carr, who everyone undervalued.

There 100% would be a trade up to 3 if Darnold is still there. Someone would trade up.
25 minutes ago, Jamie Muellers Ghost said:I do not see the Bills taking a one year starter , transfer players in Hughes after drafting all four year starters last year.
Hurst is a popular choice in McD's scheme. Find me the next Fletcher Cox or Brendan Graham.
I wouldn't mind going Hurst and Hubbard. D-Line would mostly be fixed. Honestly, if we can't trade up, I make one pick at 21, then trade down.

Nick Stevens is one of the only quarterbacks in this draft that Brian Daboll saw live in game. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but Alabama didn't really play against any of the QBs in this draft this year, assuming Nick Fitzgerald goes back for his senior year.

Mason Rudolph is injured and won’t be at the Senior Bowl.
I think this may hurt him a bit. Teams want to see what he looks like in a pro style offense in practice and in the game. This will still be an unknown and might hurt his stock a bit.
1 hour ago, JaCrispy said:This will test how smart McBeane really is
100%. How McBeane handles this quarterback search will truly define their regime. That's why I don't think they will draft a mid tier guy, I think they will do everything they can to get up to the top 2.

Daboll
This will be our 6th OC in the last 7 years. I hope we got a good one this time .
I suppose the most ironic Billsy thing would for Daboll to be awesome, then take a HC gig somewhere. Leading to OC 7 in 8 years.
-
With all of the OC spots opening up this week, getting out in front of it and grabbing the guy they wanted makes a ton of sense and shows some foresight and prudence.
Not or sure how he will do, but it certainly feels like we got the guy we wanted, and I'm good with that.

Zach Cunningham would look pretty good at the MIKE right now

I like to see us keep the mid teir theme going.
RB
Jerrick Mckinnon- wouldn't cost much and can play multiple roles for Daboll . He's smooth out the bkfield catching the ball and has speed to take to house from anywhere on the field. He's also become a much better RB running threw the tackles the past 2 seasons. Draft a bk (Sony Michael) and sign Mckinnon and we will have the best trio of bks in the NFL.
TE - Trey Burton this guy is a gamer a young healthy version of Charles Clay. Burton would be immediate upgrade for us at TE and would allow us to cut ties with Clay during the offseason.
Wr - Taylor Gabriel gives us a speedster we definitely need to open things up underneath.
These 3 signings won't break the bank and would give some much needed play makers on the offensive side of the ball. Also gives us flexibility in the draft to add some talent to our Defense.
McKinnon is a nice change of pace back. I think he may follow Shurmur. I think Burton is going to go someplace where he can be the immediate starter. I don't think we cut Charles Clay just yet. I think he will be better in Daboll's offense where he played earlier in his career. Gabriel is a nice receiver but he is tiny. He's a 3/4 at best in my opinion. I do like his speed though.

I respect your opinion but suck is a strong word for me to describe Brown's play. You may dislike him for the current system, and I do agree to certain extent, but I believe Brown is a player versatile enough to help you win games.
You are right. It's probably not fair of me . He's not a good fit for what we do. I do like his energy and leadership and such. He's just too slow and being asked to do things he isn't good at.

The main reason the Saints ran all over us was the absence of Dareus. When the guys up front are manhandled at the LOS no LB will look good. Both the Jets and the Saints ran all over us until we somewhat adjusted, which was remarkable, I must say.
This is a great point. It really was a gaping hole after they traded Marcell. Preston Brown does suck though.

Preston Brown was one of the reasons Saints ran all over us. Preston Brown is a 3-4 LB not 4-3 ILB
He's also one of the reasons Bortles ran all over the place. Those long scrambles don't happen unless your linebackers are SLOOOOW. Maybe the QB scrambles for 10 yards here and there, but not 38 yarders. He's a two down backer and he could be a SAM, but he isn't a MIKE in this defense. I think he could come back and take over the spot the Lorax occupied as a part time, 2 down linebacker.

I'm reading his spotrac page and I don't understand why would he be an option. Does he or the team have the option to opt out of the last two years of that contract?

They will eventually need the money for Geoff and Donald.
They could cut him or look to trade him. They have UFAs coming up like LaMarcus Joyner, Trumaine Johnson, Sammy Watkins. And like you said they eventually need money for Donald, Gurley, Goff. They have some time for Goff and Gurley, but Donald is set to be a UFA after 2018.

If I am the Bills this is my plan for defense going into the off season. We need some starters but also need cheap depth. Obviously we won’t sign a million guys, but these are some of my thoughts.
CB - EJ Gaines - I think Gaines comes back. He's had an inconsistent career so far and while he is good, he is not a great fit for every defense. He had a great year for McDermott and I think it makes the most sense for him to stay put. Kyle Fuller is a great fit and a guy I really like if things don’t work with Gaines. A guy like Ross Cockrell who was drafted to be a zone corner could help as a nickel.
S - I'm grabbing Cody Davis of the Rams. He's a bigger safety who can play down in the box and is an ace special teamer. We need depth here. I'd re-sign Shamarko Thomas as well.
LB - This is a tough spot to fill but there are a few option out there. First, I try to grab Tahir Whitehead to play middle backer. He’s played both inside and outside and seems to be a good fit for this defense. If not him, maybe Christian Jones or Mason Foster. I think Jones has some untapped potential and was miscast in the Bears 3-4. Also, I’d keep an eye on New England to see if they make a cap casualty out of Shea McClellin. He’s coming off of IR and the Pats have had some youngers guys step up and play well in his absence. McClellin has McDermott guy written all over him. He’s smart, versatile, and a tough player who is still young. You could plug him right in the middle. For depth and special teams I sign a guy like Jordan Tripp who can play all three linebacker positions.
DE - I’m keeping an eye on LA to see if Robert Quinn shakes loose as a cap casualty. They are going to try to re-sign Joyner, Johnson, and Watkins and some people believe that either Mark Barron or Quinn will shake loose. DeMarcus Lawrence is the crown jewel in FA but will be too expensive. I like Aaron Lynch, but he reported overweight last year. Doesn’t seem to be a McDermott type. Kony Ealy makes sense, though we did not put in a claim on him when he was on waivers. Trent Murphy, who is coming of an injury from the Redskins is very tough and has some pass rush ability. He's played a lot of OLB but is more of a defensive end in my opinion. Cassius Marsh could be a depth guy to help with pass rush.
DT - I think the first call in free agency has to be Star Lotulelei no? We badly need a 1 technique. Bennie Logan is very good as well. If the Rams keep Quinn and Barron, Michael Brockers could be the odd man out and I would be all over him. Jay Bromley could be a good fit as well.

6 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said:
Denver is definitely going after Cousins. They're reportedly asking Demarius Thomas to take a paycut - I hope he refuses and we have a chance at him.
Personally I'd much rather go after Bridgewater - he'll be much cheaper than Cousins, he's coachable and his accuracy is way better than Cousins (to my untrained eye, at least - Cousins seems streaky to me).
I like Bridgewater too. He's only 25 years old and seems to have a lot of upside. My concern would be the health of that knee and his lack of arm strength in Buffalo. As others have posted here, the injury was pretty devastating. He's going to have to take a 1 year prove it deal.

If Darnold indeed declares for this draft both the Giants/Browns would be fools not to select Darnold and Rosen even if given a kings ransom... They both need QB's and 2 franchise stud QB's are staring them in the face. I guess the Bills will have to see if Mayfield/Lamar Jackson/ Josh Allen or Mason Rudolph are franchise QB's because I don't see a scenario where we get the top 2. Some people are huge Mayfield fans, I'm not one of those people, I like his fiery attitude but he seems to be quite immature, not Manziel immature but to the point where it warrants some red flags.
Darnold did declare for the draft. In my mind it depends how they feel about Davis Webb and Kizer. If you are the Giants and could drop down and draft two stud o-linemen, you could be in the Super Bowl next year. If the Browns like Kizer as their developmental guy they can sign a Cousins or McCarron and trade down. If they traded with us they would have 4, 21, 22 and more. I'm not saying it's going to happen but it's not out of the realm of possibility entirely.

Exactly - you basically eliminate the big play - anyone that is beat just tackle the WR.
This is especially true at the end of the game - it would have killed the end of the Saints game and probably the Baltimore/Cincinnati game that got us in.
Exactly this. It would ruin the game completely. I coach high school football and we teach our kids to commit PI if they get beat. There would be a ton more PI flags.

Brees - NO
Cousins - NYJ
Keenum - MIN
JG - SF
Cutler - Denver
McCown - ? Maybe Arizona
Bradford - Washington
My guesses for now. I think AJ McCarron winds up in Cleveland. Teddy Bridgewater or Bradford goes with Shurmur if he goes to Arizona. The other goes to Washington.
Jackson, Rudolph or Pass

I think the skipping it will hurt his stock more than anything. NFL evaluators will hold it against him and it's not like he is in a position to skip the Senior Bowl. I think he's a second day pick. If he went to the Senior Bowl and played like poo he becomes a third day pick. It he plays awesome he could move up into the late first. If he does nothing at all, he's probably a day two pick. He probably felt it wasn't worth the risk as he's probably a day 2 pick anyway.
