Chaos

I think 13 is far too many too poll. I would be better to narrow down to no more than 6. OT Harrison, Jones WR, Addison Hyatt LB, Sanders Campbell. Unless you are having a second poll to narrow the field, you have a far better chance of gaining a consenus with a shorter list.

Situations change. This years starters feature 4 key players close to the end of their careers Von Miller, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Mitch Morse. Real chance they are all gone after this season (all could also be back). One way to look at, is that I must hold on to future draft picks like grim death because we will be rebuilding. Another way to look at it, is that this a win now season, and that the most important thing is to get an impact player in the draft. Would trading up for Paris Johnson, or JSN have enough impact to get us past the divisional round of the playoffs this season? Or do we just stay put and hope we find a difference maker later in the draft. Getting a near certain impact player in this draft means using future draft capital. There really is no way around it.

Something like this seems like a good trade up to me. At least I would be pretty excited about season.

Probably next years #1. With older Von Miller, Older Jordan Poyer, Older Mycah Hyde, Older Mitch Morris (all four of whom are broken to various degrees plus a broken Tre White) would indicate 2023 is a win now year. Personally I don't care much about saving nexts years #1 as the foundation of a new rebuild. But pretty good chance all of those guys are gone. And then we are building around Allen, Johnson/Skoronski-Dawkins-McGovern, a new Center (I would hope to get Tippman with our second round pick this year). Allen and strong line is the best foundation we can hope for after the mass exodus we should expect after this season.

This thread is about trading up. What trade ups would be more characteristic of Beane?

Trading up makes sense for Paris Johnson or Peter Skoronski. Two very good olinemen who would start in 2023. Trading up for anyone else would seem to be foolish to me.

Bills finished in the top eight for the second year in a row. That is our tier for now.

According @Airsevennot only is the Bills roster mediocre, Josh Allen is a liability. 13-3 must have been a miracle.

Tipping my giants hand to make it easy. Or is it a smoke screen?

What do you disagree with? I asked what people thought the bengals and vikings would do? How do you disagree with a question?

This thread is all about the spelling.

I think the Will Anderson comment that Wright is the best he has played against had a big impact. Some other notable changes. Jordan Addision dropped to 30. Trent Simpson dropped from 66 to 78.

Your superior spelling skills for strange names separates you from the other humans. Kudos.

Before Mahomes full salary cap hit though.

Today PFF updated its its big board rankings. Darnell Wright went from #70 to #20.

I don't know

And his aav contract value is 14.5 million. Good deal for the chiefs. But not the budget busting decision guy.

The Chiefs who just won the Super Bowl made the decision that optimizing team talent, meant relying on their superstar QB to generate the passing attack and not rely on a 20+million dollar WR Tyreke Hill. Results suggested they made the correct decision. Do you think the Bengals will make the same decision when the time comes with Ja'Marr Chase, or will they accept other holes in the roster to pay Chase. Similarly, will the Vikings without a superstar QB make a different or the same decision as the Bengals regarding Justin Jefferson. In general, Is the goal of the draft to get as many five year players who can contribute as possible, or draft guys with potential to sit and watch, and hopefully develop so that you can resign them at full top market free agent rates after five years?

My unpopular opinion. Airseven doesn't have the first clue about anything football related.

Drafting too young is proving to be a bad strategy. Three years of Edmunds in training, two years of quasi-productivity demonstrating further potential, and no ability to afford the 25 year old version. Total waste.

For ignorant vomiters: https://www.pff.com/news/draft-why-positional-value-matters-in-the-nfl-draft

No,positional value means top QBs are worth 50 million a year , top WRs are worth 22 million per year, and top rbs are worth 11 mm per year. Its the same for everyone, and completely independent of need.

Cowboys, Jaguars, Giants

I hope we can put together for ever the BPA myth and realize all teams include need and positional value in putting together their boards. ( regardless of my hopes in real life there is no way to do me a football myth)

The offense seems to move pretty well between the twenties. Fewest punts in the league. it’s not clear Knox needs to be more involved in that aspect. It’s not broken (exception of to this rule is a possible small reduction in wearing Josh Allen out). The issue for the entire team is the same, translating all of this brilliant regular season success into playoff wins. In the 2022 playoffs Knox was the rare exception to the rule. He had a fine game against the Bengals 5 rec on 7 targets for 65 yards. His past playoff record is fine as well. Knox is fine.
