You can give me a second one if need be

Where’s that guy with the high level business meetings to attend? I choose him.

So I am assuming they won’t trade out of the first?

I think it’s a good idea. The trick is getting a team to agree to that. I suppose the Vikings are a possibility since they only have 4 picks in the draft. I also don’t think the Bills would do it because the would not pick again until the 4th round and they seems to operate in tiers. But it makes sense depending on what is on the board.

Any of the sites that promote a safety to the Bills basically say Hamlin and Rapp suck so they need to add a guy to play with Bishop. But yeah I don’t think Rapp is going anywhere. Draft people don’t like him because he ran a really bad forty that one time. Starks is better than everyone on the roster, so I wouldn’t be mad. Brugler is usually pretty good no? So maybe there is some smoke to the safety stuff.

Too many really good RBs in this draft for anyone to trade for Cook knowing they have to pay him. It feels u likely unless someone is desperate and had a ton of cap to use.

Im guessing it’s that or they have completely fallen in love with some edge guy we aren’t talking about. I still think corner is a possibility, but White does change things. Being after Golden then devoting the rest of the draft to defense actually makes sense

Ok I’m good with this for the same reasons I would have been good with Bradberry. Hopefully they feel confident that they can go BPA. White isn’t what he used to be, but he is still a starting corner in the league. Maybe they know they can’t get the corner they want, and this is a stop gap who kinda lets them draft a guy coming off injury like Revel or Morrison, or a raw player like Porter or Thomas. BPA Beane. Do it the right way for once.

I know that the list is incomplete, but it basically says Golden or CB round 1, DT round 2. Corner in round 4ish if they take Golden.

Yeah I think that’s on the edge of what they like but probably fine.

There are three top guys with the length, height, weight they typically look for. Revel, Thomas, Porter. Everyone else is sub 31 inch arms.

If reports are true that they loved McDuffie then they should find a way to get Barron. If reports are true that they saw McDuffie as a nickel becuase his lack of length, well then they will not touch Barron. I still believe it’s Amos/Hairston with an outside shot they love the raw upside guy in Revel or Porter. Amos to me is the safest pick, plug and play. He checks the boxes…zone acumen, can play man, has the required length and speed, tackles, and has a ton of experience. I think there is also a chance they love Thomas. He’s slower, which is their corner MO, but he has the size and the length. He’s also very young so there is a lot of upside. He’s also a guy that other teams won’t draft because his lack of speed. So you can conceivably get him in round 2.

Drafted two then traded back.

I’ve heard people talking up the Tulane kid Ransaw as a late round guy. Also super athlete. He may be a nickel though. He certainly looks like he likes to tackle.

Yeah I get that. I’m sure they move in the real world. I just think it is ironic that it was mostly panned that we took two DTs and now it seems to be a thing. That’s all. See to me if you are going to take Porter, it’s a good reason to sign a Bradberry. It’s like getting a coach in the room with a pretty raw dude. Porter is the upside play and I don’t hate it. It’s just high risk, high reward which I am good with. Trappaso was on Marino today talking about how the Bills need to stop trying to raise the floor and start raising the ceiling. Porter would represent that type of move.

Wait so we all want to double dip at DT now after everyone hated the mock? Anyway, I still 100% believe the first pick will be a corner unless Harmon is there or the hey go after Golden. Probably DT in the second. Not sure what happens after that.

I tore my achilles like 3 years ago and still not fully recovered and will probably never be the same. I am the definition of washed. I wish I was in the shape Bradberry is.

Man where the heck does Texas find all these fast dudes

Maybe the Browns, Cowboys, other dysfunctional organizations

Chris Trapasso was talking about Oklahoma States Korie Black today. He was not invited to the combine. Ran 4.35 at the pro day and had a 39 inch vert. 6-0, 192, nearly 32 inch arms. Interesting. He’s a fifth year senior who started like 60 college games or something. .

Yeah but as a cheap guy in the offseason who maybe doesn’t even make the team I think it’s ok. If they are bringing him in to be a starter I would be very very concerned

pretty sure he is a UFA. Signed a 1 year deal with the Rams last year

Eh I think if he’s super cheap it’s worth doing. You get a veteran voice in the room to mentor Amos/Hairston or whoever they draft in the first round. Dude has been to Super Bowls. It’s a very young DB room. Plus you get a contingency plan as a very experienced backup and you create smoke a smokescreen that your biggest hole on the roster is filled.

He’s better than Dane Jackson.
