I'm not really talking about that. It's fine to poke holes in Metcalf over his agility, though I think people are taking it a bit too far. I take issue with people that don't like Metcalf saying that he must be David Boston because he's big and strong as if we haven't seen big and strong guys have success before.

Seems like anyone that's down on Metcalf simply points to David Boston as if he's the only other WR that's ever been an athletic freak. That one picture that floated around clearly was taken at an angle that makes him look much larger than he really is. He's still a big dude no doubt but that one photo looked like the Space Jam guys after they got done drinking Michael Jordan's secret stuff. Metcalf measured out nearly identically to Julio Jones and they both look relatively the same in terms of body size to match the numbers. Oliver's TFL numbers are literally head and shoulders above basically every DT prospect of the past decade, including Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh.

I was doing what I would consider to be an A+ draft (without trading down) and that was my exact first two picks. Would be ecstatic. Green, Blue, and Purple = good The obvious takeaways from here: -insert eye emoji- Metcalf, Harry, Isabella, and Jennings to an extent

Neither is my #1 choice for the #9 pick, but I'd be happy with DK. Still not sure how I feel about Hockenson that high; I'd rather just address the position through FA.

I initially had this issue on my phone but it worked after I refreshed it once. They recently overhauled their website and I think they're still having some issues with the transition.

Bills Meetings so far based on where they're likely to be drafted at this point in time: Organized by where these players are likely drafted (at the moment at least): For #9 pick: DT Ed Oliver DE Brian Burns DT/DE Rashan Gary WR DK Metcalf OT/OG/C Jonah Williams OT/OG Cody Ford OT Jawaan Taylor Trade down or #40 pick: WR Kelvin Harmon WR Hollywood Brown WR JJ Arcega-Whiteside TE Irv Smith Jr OG/OT Dalton Risner C Erik McCoy OT/OG Bobby Evans OT Greg Little OT Kaleb McGary Round 3 or later: WR Riley Ridley TE Isaac Nauta OG Dru Samia RB Bryce Love

I haven't read it yet myself, but if you're interested, the WR expert from The Draft Network dedicated an entire article to Metcalf's agility times. I suspect he doesn't view it as a huge issue because I think he's generally been high on Metcalf, but like I said, I haven't read it yet. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/are-d.k.-metcalf-s-agility-times-a-concern

My current realistic hopes are (besides a trade down which is almost always my preference): 1. Ed Oliver 2. DK Metcalf 3. Rashan Gary (as long as the Bills think he has a strong work ethic) 4. One of the OTs

The Tampa Bay Bucs website that has tremendous sourcing within the organization is already referring to White as “Bucs LB Devin White” so I don’t think he’s gonna be available at 8 lol

The guys with the best hands IMO are Day 3 prospects this year: Keesean Johnson and Tyre Brady

Yeah this is what I’ve been assuming. I don’t really mind honestly as long as the contracts are easy to get out of. It is a lot though.

He's not fast but I definitely expected better than that lol. Ed Oliver might beat that time.

Holy cow, did something happen on his run? Did he trip or something? lol

I think it all boils down to cost. If the market for Funchess is relatively bearish, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Buffalo makes an offer to take a chance on him and see if things click. It's possible that we're transitioning towards more of a preference for speed, but we'll see. It's just as likely IMO that they simply recognized Benjamin sucks and that Foster and McKenzie were worth giving a chance to.

I know he's not the most popular FA target around here, but seems like his price might end up being lower than anyone expected after a poor end of the year and given his age, generally solid level of play each year (been graded around the #50ish WR in the league each of his 4 years by PFF), and McBeane's familiarity with him, seems like he's a guy we should continue to keep an eye out for. Granted we may have seen the beginning of a shift towards preferring speed WRs over big targets, but it could have also simply been that we recognized Benjamin sucks and that Foster/McKenzie were worth taking a chance on. At any rate, the article here mentions that Carolina declined to make any sort of extension offer to Funchess so he will be hitting the open market.

Yeah, his production dropped off a bit this season and I haven't paid close enough attention to Wake Forest to know why, but that's a potential red flag with him and I think it's probably pushed him down to UDFA status. But his tape in college reminds me a bit of Doug Martin back when he played for Boise State.

One guy I really like that seems destined for UDFA status is Matt Colburn from Wake Forest.

I never actually watched Sports Night, but Newsroom is another of Aaron Sorkin's shows. Basically the gist of it is that this news studio is trying to do news "the right way" and it covers real news stories (ex: one of the episodes covers where they were when 9/11 happened, how crazy it was covering the story, etc.) It's a fictional show but covers real stories; it was really cool to watch.

On this same wavelength, The Newsroom. I can only imagine what that show would look like if it were airing during the Trump presidency. My main show that I wish hadn't been cancelled so soon was Leverage. I absolutely adore it and am still hoping they come back for a movie at some point like shows like Psych have done. I also vaguely remember the acting being pretty poor, but I was intrigued by Flashforward and was pretty disappointed when it got cancelled.

The Music City Miracle was a legal lateral and it's blatantly obvious IMO.

Yep, I concur. Think he might be an option for Buffalo if he tests well.

These wingspans lol

My two favorite FA RBs aren't even in the top 20 lol

Yeah, exactly. The only way I see other teams offering is if they get bored with chasing other free agents and decide to try to be cute with the Jets to get them to pay a little more, but I could also totally see the Jets just being like "Alright, we'll take the 2nd round pick. Enjoy!" I'd guess Robby simply ends up playing on the tender for $3 million or whatever it is.

This was the obvious move for the Jets to make to ensure that they can keep Robby at a cheap price. I don't envision anyone coughing up a 2nd round pick for the opportunity to overpay him.
