Chaos

Can Murray block the edge guys Spencer Brown whiffs on?

the bolded part is a big part of this. Its useful for comparison, if the conditions are true, but it doesn't rule out the better prospect if they happen to be older. And again, you only get the first five years for sure.

Is it better to draft 20 year olds , develop them, and then not be able to afford to resign them when their rookie contracts are up. The goal for even first round draft picks in the modern NFL is to get 5 productive years on rookie contracts. Full stop.

Seems like there is a pretty good chance if only one of the linebackers was in the poll, that LB would win.

two likely starters with the first two picks. An interesting o weapon with the third pick. E Olivers replacement with the fourth pick. Another addition to LB room with the fifth, and one of the fastest CBs in the draft with the 6th.

Disagree. We are going to line someone up at TE. If they are not being used, cheaper is better. And if you can have cheaper without losing quality that is a potential win. If another team is willing to give up a clear WR2 for Knox, drafting Kincaid in reality becomes a WR2 pick. If no one wants Dawson for anything of value, then it makes no sense. The mock draft simulation sites accept George Pickens from Pittsburgh, even up for Knox. That seems wrong to me. But I would be excited to roll out Kincaid/Pickens in 2023 (plus have a bunch of cap space). I don't understand how people can say they don't like a two sided deal with only one side known. I don't know what Knox would attract, maybe nothing. That is why I asked the question.

Depends on his trade value. Kincaid is a TE1. If Dorsey isn't going to use TE (we punt fewer times than any other team, I am not sure we are in desperate need of a chain moving strategy) it might make more sense to have a TE1 under a rookie contract, rather than under a very expensive (for the position) vet contract.

@GunnerBill real question. With his current contract does Dawson Knox have any trade value? The reason I ask, is that if Kincaid or Meyer fall to 27, there may be a real chance to clear quite a bit of cap space, and maintain current production levels with the rookies. I like Knox, but this is a brutal business, and he is a highly paid player at position wer are not getting great production out of of.

It seems like the Bills realistic choice for the outcome of this draft is one or zero starters for 2023. Trading back may increase the liklihood of it being zero. If there is someone they believe is a three down starter at 27 for 2023, just pick him. Any position is fine.

Mods please merge this the GM power ranking thread, demonstrationg Beane as fourth best GM.

With the 89th selection, the New York Giants select Daiyan Henley LB Washington State Cougars Reason: He was the top rated player left on our board (we considered taking him in the second round with pick 57, he is arguably the best LB in this draft class) and linebacker is a position of need for the Giants. The Coboys @Might Rather is on the clock.

It would probably be too much work, but if people could identify their preferred window to pick, the teams could assigned based on that. For example if 10 people said I prefer 6 pm to 8 pm Eastern USA time, you could assign them ten consecutive teams in the pick order

In response to the original question. There is a series of steps. Must make the playoffs Win in the wildcard round (or get a bye) Win the divisional round of the playoffs Win the conference championship game. Win the super bowl game. Its the same formula for every team, every year.

If Kincaid fell, and Knox might be tradeable to clear cap space and upgrade the WR position.

There are quite a few QBs on the Board better than Duggan.

The sad part is that people who only look at the board and not the posts will think you drafted Max Duggan.

Fun with offense:

Deep sleepers. Justin Shorter WR Florida. Andrei Iosivas WR, Princeton, Anthony Bradford Guard LSU Zavala is not a sleeper anymore PFF Zane Athletic both have him going in round three. Up from 6-7 round a couple of weeks ago. Dell has also been really durable despite his small stature. Guy must have huge cajones to play with the big boys.

this took two trades, but I like it more, mostly because Washington is my current quasi-irrational draft crush.

4.47 is nothing to sneeze at. And he stats says he is a shut down corner, against the Big Ten teams he played against. But I have no idea how that translates to the NFL. Some college players seem good at football. Some college players test well in the measureables. Fewer are good at both. I have seen him projected as low as 88 in the draft and in the 200's+ plus, so opinions are clearly mixed.

I will tweak the title for the high IQ people

We are living in a world where we may be drafting DI Keeanu Benton in the second round, so I am depressed about how we negotiate through rounds 1 & 2, so looking for some potential gems past the second round. One player who has not been discussed on this board is Cory Trice, CB Purdue. He seems to be a press coverage specialist, with this blurb from PFF: "Trice is built like a linebacker who got kicked out to cornerback. He beats up opposing receivers in press coverage, allowing only one catch on 88 press snaps this past season." He is fast: Here are his overall stats: The obligatory youtube highlight reel: Any expert opinions available?

This makes me sad. Should have been the Bills pick at 59.
