2011 Saints? 2008 Rams? With your last statement, it clarifies for me what Elite means when people use it. I compare it to historical teams and not just a current year. Thanks, that helps.👍

Wasn't trying to be argumentative, just trying to understand what people's idea is of Elite. When I think of Elite offenses, I think about Rams 2000-2001. Similar to Defense 85 Bears, 2000 Ravens. All of those I would consider "Elite". I get it, it's hard, but isn't that what Elite is supposed to be or mean? Best of the Best?

Maybe I don't understand the meaning of Elite? We have an outstanding (possibly elite) passing offense and an average at best run offense. To me that would be a Great offense, but not elite...🤔. Elite in my eyes would be at least top 5 in both pass and run. No?

Few trades back, but I really like how it turned out. 30. Trade for 38,69 Bengals 38. J. Williams RB N. Carolina 61. Trade for 64,137 Bucs 64. T. Campbell CB Georgia 69. Trade for 74,163 Washington 74. Q. Meinerz OG/OC Whitewater 93. J. Carman OT/OG Clemson 137. J. Darden WR N. Texas 161. N. Eubanks TE Michigan 163. B. St-Juste CB Minnesota 174. D. Barnes LB Purdue 213. M. Koonce Edge Buffalo 236. T. Slayton DT Florida

Kiko Alonso. Tried watching an interview once. Dumb as a box of rocks. Boy it was painful.

Really liked this one. Blast away...😉 30. Trade for 41, 72 and 2022 7th Detroit 41. A. McNeill DT NC State 61. Trade for 77 and 118 Chargers 72. Trade for 73 and 2022 5th Panthers 73. E. Stokes CB Georgia 77. Q. Meinerz OG/OC W. Whitewater 93. B. Jordan TE Miami 118. Dayo Edge Vanderbilt 161. St-Juste CB Minnesota 174. D. Barnes LB Purdue 213. M. Koonce Edge Buffalo (had to show a little love to Buffalo after passing on K. Mack) 236. C. Evan's RB Michigan Dayo coming off injury, gives time to heal, bring on slowly and maybe have a nice edge next year. Couple of late round swings with Koonce and Evan's. Don't know anything about Koonce, but hey, 6th, 7th rnd, why not take a shot.

Then fumble it and get benched... Or miss a blitz pick up and get our QB hammered.😱😁

Sorry to quote myself, but I guess I was off on a 5th for Barnes. As I sit here watching Path to the Draft, DJ just mocked Barnes to us as 61... Interesting.🤔. Guess I need to do some more research.

Still looking for a Lorax replacement and haven't done extensive looks into it yet. Stumbled across Derrick Barnes LB from Purdue. Maybe a 5th or later. Also special teams experience. Again, haven't done a lot of research on him yet... Hate to put another teams link and not really sure it's allowed by law here but a nice little write up I found.. https://steelersdepot.com/2021/03/2021-nfl-draft-player-profiles-purdue-lb-derrick-barnes/

Nice size, but gives me Marcel Darius vibes...😱 https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/2021-nfl-draft-scouting-report--idl-bobby-brown-iii

Said this in another post and I think it applies to this discussion as well. I still think the issue is the DT's not our MLB (or LB's in general). We had a top 5 defense 2 years ago with Hughes and Murphy on the ends and the same back 7 (same LB's). Only difference being Star and Phillips this past year. Oliver is as good as Phillip's (in my opinion) and AJ will be as good if not better than Murphy. So really the biggest change and I see was missing was Star. Again, I'm all for getting an edge rusher, but push from the middle and stopping the run would be my priority. Draft a CB or DE early but give me Shelvin or McNeill in rounds 2 or 3. Need a big guy in the middle of the line with some pass rush upside potential. Not just a big fattie. Hopefully Star is ready, but I don't want to have that as a missing piece again this year. We still have the same issue now as we had trying to beat the Pat***** for the last 20 years. Not enough push from the middle of the DL and having to use LB's to make up for it. OK. I'm done. Must be low blood sugar levels.😉. Carry on.

Well considering we have 39+ pages about stadium naming rights and 36 + pages for the idiot Watson, At least this one is about the actual Bill's football team...😉

He's already 250lbs. Not sure he needs more beef. I think if they fix the DL and can improve on stopping the run without him, it would help. I like Edmund's but I agree with most, MLB is not the best use of his skills.

30. J. Oweh 61. Q. Meinerz OC/OG Wis. Whitewater 93. T. Tremble TE Notre Dame 161. B. St-Juste CB 174. D. Barnes LB Purdue 213. C. Evan's RB Michigan 236. T. Slayton DT Florida

A couple below I would be interested in. Derrick Barnes - LB Purdue https://www.profootballnetwork.com/derrick-barnes-nfl-draft-player-profile-purdue-linebacker/ Chris Evan's- RB Michigan https://www.profootballnetwork.com/chris-evans-nfl-draft-player-profile-michigan-running-back/

I have questions on Philipps and I am not sure I would take him as our 1st round pick (or at all). Concussions and already retired once to pursue other life aspirations? I've said in other posts, we already have Morse in that program... Is he done if he gets another concussion? Would we really want to spend a first on Phillip's given his past? Seems like quite a risk to me...🤔

My rule is to use whatever spellcheck, Alexa or Google tell me to because it's not worth the arguement. 😂

Yes!!! I'd be good with that as well!!😉

This would be ideal...😁

Yup. Another Conference Call mock draft.😉 30. Traded w/GB for 62,92, 2022 2nd and 3rd. 61. C. Basham edge W Forest 62. P. Werner LB Ohio State 92. Trade w/KC for 94 and 136 93. Q. Meirnez OC Wiss. Whitewater 94. Trade w/ Bucs 94 & 161 for 95 and 2022 5th 95. T. Shelvin DT LSU 136. S. Wade S/BN Ohio State 174. B. St-Juste CB Minnesota 213. O. Griffin CB USC 236. C. Evans RB Michigan Maybe a little too much on defense, but that seems to be where our challenges are right now. Not too bad while also adding 2022 2nd and 3rd from GB and a 5th from TB.

I actually like Werner. Had him in my early mocks before we re-signed Milano. Can cover RB's and TE's. Hard hitting LB and has experience in all 3 lb spots from what I've read.

Hmmm. Well... umm, for what it's worth... Cynthia Frelund has us taking DT Christian Baramore at 30 in her latest mock...😱😁

Although unlikely, That looks like an A+ draft to me. You should probably be named Executive of the year if this were to play out...😉

Still not sold on a RB at 30, but, I'll keep an open mind for now. Was doing some reading and came across these 2 articles (many more out there). Sounds like we are not the only ones that ask the question, Which one is better? Just found them interesting coming from the outside... one from November and the other a little more recent. https://thegameday.com/6669/article/najee-harris-vs-travis-etienne-whos-2021-nfl-drafts-top-running-back/ https://www.profootballnetwork.com/najee-harris-travis-etienne-who-is-top-2021-rb1-nfl-draft/

So, we have issues with Morse and concussions, but we are ok with Phillip's? Doesn't make much sense...🤔. Still having a hard time with a RB in the 1st (but starting to warm up to it, keep talking and maybe I'll get there.😉). Najee possibly, just not sold on Etienne yet (ball security ?) Would rather go corner, but JOK is the only one left to choose in my opinion. Guess I'll go with JOK.🤔
