  1. There is a huge difference between Olympics and NFL imo. Olympics had to be postponed since they need qualifications and trainings of athletes which cannot happen now and will not happen couple of next months. You also need athletes from all over the world to gather and participate. Same goes for fans.

     

    NFL is entirely different. It is US thing only, so in only depends on how US handles the virus. I have no idea how it works in reality, but I guess you can have almost normal season when some training camps are postponed and situation gets better in June or even July. You can also adopt some measures to prevent risks - play without fans, or limit fans to 1/3 of stadium capacity or something like that.

     

    I am quite sceptical about the virus itself, but NFL starts in September and there should be enough time for things to get better until then. 

  2. Didn't read whole thread and don't want to start new one because of this, but I have a question related to this topic.

     

    On paper, is our Dline now better or worse than it was? To sum it up:

     

    Pros: We added Addison, Butler and Jefferson, Harrison Philips should be back, Oliver has gained experience.

    Cons:  We lost Phillips and Lawson, Hughes will be one year older.

    Star and Murphy remain Star and Murphy.

     

    What do you guys think? If the Dline is better, in what? Pass rush or run stopping?

  3. Great job Corta. Always liked these threads. This year even more, since I plan trip to US from Europe for Bills game for the first time. Most likely we are going late October so either W7 or W8. My wife refuses to risk Buffalo weather late October so we prefer away games - Arizona, Las Vegas of San Fran. If it falls as you currently predict I need to buy my wife some new warm clothes and we are going to Seahawks game in W7 no matter what :)

     

    Anyway, one thing from OP confuses me. Is there any reason to believe that The Bonnie ehm Brady Situation is not solved by March 20th? I guess his decision will affect many other QBs so my understanding is that he will sign somewhere immediately once FA opens. Teams need to solve QB situation as top priority so they won't be able to wait long for his decision. Do you guys think anything else?  

  4. Gunner I don't get the Jets trade.

     

    You have Wills, Becton and Thomas taken within 4 spots, which I assume means that you have very similar grades on them. If Jets stay on 11, the way your mock evolves it seems very likely that they still get one of them (Panthers don't take OT, Jags take Brown).

     

    Do you really think it makes sense for them to give up 2nd and 3rd round just to get their choice within three similar players (in terms of quality, I don't watch college so I only rely on your mock)? And then taking guy who might even end up as RT only?

     

    And even if they somehow missed on all four at 11, they still may happily take Jeudy and get two olinemen in next two rounds.

  5. Good read as always.

     

    As for Armstead, since he's been mentioned quite often - I know a guy who is 49ers fan and he said that this year Armstead > Buckner, so he is pretty sure they won't let him go. He says they are probably not able to keep them both, so they might sign and trade Buckner. He said its not just his opinion but that it is common opinion on their forums.

     

    I have no idea if it makes sense just selling as I bought it.

    So a guy falling around 10 spots isn’t a drop? Ok 

     

    Cmon man. You started your OP by saying that there is always a guy "you just cannot believe he was there when the Bills pick". So for me, when we are picking 22, in order to qualify for this, it has to be somebody who is constantly mocked in top 10.

     

    So in my view, we are talking about guys like Jeudy, Lamb, Thomas or Epenesa (considering out needs only).

     

    Right now Swift is 14 at CBS, 18 at Walterfootball, 31 at Sportingnews, PFF doesn't have him in the first round at all, Tankathon has him 39 (I picked random mocks I found first, feel free to add more).

     

    So him being there at 22 is no surprise at all, let alone some shocker.

    Rc, I don’t have a strong opinion about rooting for any team, but it would be fun to see the Titans take down the Ravens.  The Ravens have won two already and only been around twenty years.  I most likely will root for the AFC team whoever gets to the SB.  I hate these people I know that keep telling me the NFC is the superior conference.  The AFC has won 26 SB’s against the NFC’s 27.  Therefore, if the AFC team wins, we’ll be even against the NFC.

     

    Yeah but AFC cheated 6 times when winning SB's so NFC will be still superior :)

    Always happens to one or two guys that you just cannot believe he was there when the Bills pick? I am going with Deandre Swift of Georgia as most of the teams past 10 seem to have RB settled and putting a guy like him with Singletary has to at least make Beane think for like a second or two 

     

    Swift isn't even top 15 pick in most mocks I've seen, so it hardly can be any surprise fall at this stage.

    Really? I would be surprised if he’s not there. Not a dynamic athlete. Don’t think he will test well. Not saying I don’t think he will be good in the NFL just thinking about where he will he drafted 

    Tankathon made some changes recently and has us taking Jefferson in the first already... with Higgins and Shenault already gone.

     

    I don't watch CFL so I have no idea, just wanted to share this for some perspective. Apparently they think he might go in first even.
