Do the meetings, but via Skype. I think what you miss are the physicals by the team doctors and the private workouts
If teams really want to conduct physical exams, they can always move either the players or the doctors around on private jets. This isn't as difficult as some people may think. I have always thought the private workouts were a little over the top. Between game tape, the combine, and college pro-days; teams should have enough input to make a decision.

The talking heads can still do what they do from some studio somewhere...
Roger can still read out the names...
Will it really be that different if no one is there in person to watch it and the players arent there to shake hands and get the team cap put on their head?
Roger will miss out on all the boos he gets on stage. I guess he'll just have to suck it up and soldier on!......lol

Yeah, I'm going to lean on the side of Beane and McDermott....you know, two guys that know Norman's game inside and out and how he will fit into the Bills scheme.
I agree with you. I didn't see anything about how much, if any, of the money is guaranteed. The smaller that number, the less risk is involved and the better this whole signing is.

Bean had a brain cramp.
I'll give Beane the benefit of the doubt on this. He may have just gotten involved to drive the price up for other teams. If we knew he was a douce, don't you think Beane knew that as well?

Sanders, Perriman, Allison

He really benefited from Gordon's holdout. It was nice to see an UDFA get a chance, do well, and get paid. It just verifies that you don't need to get your best players at the top of the draft. Good scouting and looking beyond the power programs is important to build a complete high quality roster.

I have several thoughts about this...
1- I feel bad for whatever stupid lapse of judgment and lack of wise council caused this kid (22yr old) to not realize how much of an idiot he was being here. This will cause him issues- hopefully nothing too serious.
2- We got the better DT in the draft. That was clear in play, but this drives that home some.
3- Anything that makes the Jets look like more of a pile of ***** is good for me!
You're right on all points. Jests being the Jests. They're so screwed up at times it's hard to imagine that anything worse could happen and then right on queue they crash and burn on something else. They are better than reality TV.

The other shoe though is why Carolina made a (seemingly) horrible trade. LA got a much better player so that makes sense for them. I’m wondering if they swapped 1st round picks.Good point. They may also be doing some manipulation of cap money to make the deal attractive for Carolina. Panthers may be looking to free up money because McCaffery will be looking for a big raise this year.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop. This smells like the double trade Giants and Cleveland did last year for OBJ.
I don’t expect this to be it.
I believe that you are exactly right on this. I'm looking for LA to trade Turner for some draft picks or to include him directly in a deal to move up ahead of Miami. I also believe that they will franchise Hunter Henry and trade him for more ammo to move up in the draft. IMHO this is all about Tua. LA can't afford to have Tyrod be their starter when they begin playing in their new stadium. The next two weeks are going to get very interesting.

He actually has a good record of pro-personnel decisions. It is his drafting that has been poor.
I look at it as all part of the job. The episodes with Keenum and Flacco give me pause about Elway. I do agree that drafting has been the poorest part of his performance. If he wasn't a legend in Denver, he would have gotten the boot by now. I hope they keep him forever.
-
Bouye was not good last year. Denver obviously feels that was an aberration and he will be able to return to a higher level of play. Given Elway's recent track record as a GM, I wouldn't bet the ranch on this turning out well.

Trades are like buying a certified pre owned vehicle fresh off a lease from a no-haggle dealership. Someone else has taken the depreciation from the massive initial investment, and you get the highest value years for only a modest price.Except that you don't know the previous vehicle owner's teenage son was pulling high RPM hole shots with that used vehicle every Saturday night. You buy a high priced used player and you are buying the wear and tear incurred and the shorter end of the career life cycle. I'm not enthusiastic about either Glenn or Turner.

Washington has a pretty decent front 7 on defense. They may look at Young as a luxury that they can live without. As great as Young is, trading out of pick #2, could give them the draft capital to plug significant holes in the roster (CB, OT, WR ). I could honestly see them going either way on this. Having not seen Haskins play much, I may not have the most accurate opinion of him. I believe Tua will be a better NFL QB but I don't know if he will be that much better than Haskins to justify making another QB pick in the first round. At the end of the day, I don't really care how Washington fares in all of this. My hope is that it really messes with Miami and leads them to make a horrendously bad deal to overpay to move up. If all of this proves to be smoke on draft day, Detroit will probably play the same game during their 15 minutes on the clock.
Isn't it nice not to have the Bills caught up in all of this QB draft drama. We just need Allen to keep getting better.

Let’s presume, for the purpose of this discussion, that Brady is going elsewhere (probably Tennessee, LA, or Vegas). There’s been plenty of speculation on where he might go, but not much discussion on who would replace him.
Belichick should have a shot at Jordan Love or Jacob Eason without moving up. I think Bridgewater would be a good fit in his offense with a rookie learning behind him, or Belichick might be looking towards the 2021 rookie crop. I don’t see Winston, Rivers etc. ending up on the Patriots.
If the Cheatriots want Jordan Love, they will need to move up to get ahead of Indianapolis. I doubt that they will do that. Eason may not even make it to pick 23 but should fall far enough for them to make a reasonable move to get him. I'm not sold on the idea that Bellicheat wants Brady back. He may be ready to go to an established veteran game manager, groom a young guy, rely on a strong running game, and play good defense for a couple of years. The guy that I'm watching is Alex Smith. If he is recovered from his leg injury, Washington will probably release him. He is just the kind of player that Bellicheat likes. He's experienced, smart, and doesn't turn the ball over. Bridgewater and Dalton are also decent options IMHO.
I think you are absolutely correct about Winston and Rivers. I would also throw Newton on that pile.

They do this all the time. Why does this seem like such a crazy idea to you?
It would either cost our 2nd and something or a first next year and something
If this draft wasn't really deep with first and second round talent, you might have a point. The facts are that this is a deep draft with significant talent in the position groups where the Bills have a need. It is highly probable that the Bills will be able to get contributors in all of the first three rounds. IMHO the only thing that would drive them to move up is if they are enamored with a particular individual that has dropped into a place where a move is possible. Giving up next year's number one seems out of character for Beane. It smacks of the Whaley/Watkins disaster. I believe that packaging their third round pick with some later picks to move back into the second round is much more likely and less costly.
Realistically, we shouldn't be shocked if Beane moves back to gain a pick for either this year or 2021. He isn't a sit back and let the draft come to him kind of GM.

The more I look at the needs of teams in front of Buffalo in the 1st round, the more convinced I am that the top three wide receivers, top three-four offensive tackles, and top 2-3 pass rushers will be gone.
If this happens, it obviously puts the Bills in a bit of an odd spot. My hope is that they don't force a pick at any of the above mentioned positions if the value isn't there. Luckily, Beane seems to be the type to stick to his board and not reach for positions of need.
As such, if the above scenario plays out, we may see the Bills end up taking a player at a position that fans consider less of an immediate need, like cornerback, safety, or linebacker. With mega-bucks about to be handed out to Tre'Davious White, a cheap rookie on the other side for the next 5 years would seem to make sense. Likewise, a Kenneth Murray or Kyle Duggar to maintain/improve the potency of the defense.
In such a deep wide receiver draft, we should all be prepared for their 1st round pick to NOT be at that position. Lastly, I'm not usually a "trade down at all costs!" guy, but I would love it if they did so this year. Getting an extra 2nd and 3rd rounder in a year where the WR and RB value seems to lie there would be a wise move.Good analysis! It is always difficult to project availability of specific players much beyond the top ten picks. IMHO the main factor that will help push some talented players down to availability at 22 will be a run on QB's. There is likely to be 4 QB's and maybe even 5 taken before pick 22. I'm hoping that a team over reaches for that fifth guy. In addition, you can always count on one team to go completely off the rails and make a terrible reach selection. Maybe the JESTS will make that contribution this year. If that happens, there should be good value for Beane to make a pick that will improve the team. It may not be a CB or DE but in another position of need. In the absence of good value, a trade down could be the correct move.

Everything I've read about the guy has been pretty positive. He'll definitely go pretty early in the draft. One scout called him a faster version of Manny Sanders coming out of college. I hope that is a more accurate comparison than the superficial one made by members of the media to John Ross. Ross has pretty much been a bust due to injuries at this point.
The Bills could do much worse than drafting this guy.

That combined with refusing to run the ball and take time off the clock. A deadly combination for sure.
I was at the game and you are correct. The Oilers also played a very poor prevent defense. The Bills also started playing a very aggressive man coverage defense to take away the short passing game. The Bills defense came out in the second half and played a very physical game. They dominated the line of scrimmage. I also remember Talley being very animated encouraging guys on the sideline and whipping up the crowd. It was a great game to see in person.

I'm thinking a high motor DE or the 3rd best CB in the draft
You may very well be correct. If one of the consensus top three DE's are there at 22, I believe Beane will grab him. Thereafter, on day two, I believe he will be hunting receivers and CB's. The moves that the Bills make in free agency may cause me to change my expectations. I also expect Beane to make at least one trade to move up on day two.
Given the information that has been put out from a number of sources that there are at least 16 WR's in the draft that will grade out as day one or two picks, Beane has options. There also isn't uniform consensus on the top five WR's in the draft. I trust that the scouting departments for NFL teams have a better handle on this than any sports writer.

I agree with you on this. Frazier was extremely well liked by his players in Minnesota. If the Bills are interested in either Linval or Rhodes and the money is close, Frazier could be the factor to get them to come to Buffalo.
