    In this case, based on the article, the motorcycle driver was at fault. 

     

     

    According to the sheriff's report, they were travelling in opposite directions and the car was making a left hand turn, so I'm guessing they would be at fault. Just awful though, RIP.

    My view is you end up coming down to it is Dodson or Bernard, not both and then Spector as a STer who they still think they can develop some at LB (and is the option that gives them some size). Based on camp reports so far it seems like Dodson is the guy getting the most run with the 1st unit. I suspect that is another example of the Bills valuing familiarity and experience in the scheme. But then Bernard is a 2nd year player who they spent a 3rd rounder on. To this point the highest pick guy they have given up on in year two is Vosean Joseph, a 5th rounder, who was essentially beaten out by Dodson as an UDFA from the same class). If Bernard is the odd man out then a) that pick stands alone atop of the Beane Bust Tree and b) he would essentially be beaten out by Spector a 6th rounder from the same class. 

     

     

    If it's close, Bernard may actually have some trade value around the league that the other guys don't have. I'm sure Beane could salvage a late round pick for Bernard if needed.

    He was thought to be a top-15 pick my many experts and no one thought he'd fall anywhere close to where he did.

     

    People are just being homers about Kincaid; they see the star potential and the experts are saying it too. If you think that's just homerism look at all the grief the Williams pick got, and others from past years. This board doesn't just rave about every pick the Bills make.

    Maybe we're all going to be wrong about him and he'll be merely average but I don't think so. The 35-4 TD to drop ratio is incredible and he's just not a "stat" guy who doesn't live up to the numbers; when you watch him play you see that he's special.


    It was actually 16-2 but yeah, his hands are unreal.

    Moral of the story, don't hook up with strangers, minors, or in public. 

     


    Come again? Don’t hook up with strangers? Try telling that to a university football player.

    I am on record as saying we put too many resources into the defensive front and was fine letting Edmunds go at the price he could command. We drafted 2 offensive players to help our franchise so KUDOS a shift to the offense. I don't mind creating competition and depth a la how KC does it on defense and letting the chips fall where they may. We could have drafted one of the higher regarded LBs with our first 2 picks, instead offense I'm good with it.


    I like the competition they’ve created at LB too, guys are going to be hungry!

    Not everybody likes surprises. Whenever I watch some obscure movie on one of the free movie channels we get with our cable TV package, I almost always go online, find the wikipedia page for said movie, and read all about it. This usually lets me know if I should keep watching, or not waste my time, and turn the channel. Different strokes for different folks.

     

    This matter is sort of similar, but like others have said, it seems like no big deal if someone who apparently is multitasking by watching TV AND also surfing the internet and/or social media sites, finds out about a pick a minute or two before Goodell announces it. I mean, the second it "gets out", by any means, people can start discussing it at that point. Just sort of strange (to me) that anybody would compare opening a gift to hearing about an NFL draft pick. One is extremely personal, and the other thing, in the grand scheme of things, has absolutely ZERO effect on your life (unless you're a family member of a potential draftee, but I don't think anybody perusing this forum on draft night would fall in to this category).

     

     

     

    Clearly different strokes, I'll never understand how some folks can't wait and read spoilers for movies/TV shows before watching!

    What do you mean by "tipping picks" ??

     

    Someone has a crystal ball?  Or do you mean he has an extra fast internet hookup or something and gets the news 10 seconds before the rest of the world?

     

    Who cares?
     

     


    It’s more like a couple of minutes before the pick is announced. You’ll see people report the picks on Twitter well before it’s announced. 
     

    It’s like I’m about to open up a Christmas present, and my parents say “Oh by the way, it’s a sweater and scratch tickets”. Where’s the fun in that?

    What's the point of having a thread to discuss the draft if people can't post picks in real time?  It's not our fault that you guys are stuck with network television.


    It ruins the suspense of watching the draft when you know the pick before it’s announced. I made the mistake of going on Twitter and someone posted a pick two minutes before it was even announced. Then you come on here and people are doing the same. So the lesson for me is to just watch the draft and don’t look at any posts online.

  9. Just looking at by betting app and the odds of the Bills taking a TE with their first pick was paying 35-1(!!!). Nobody saw this coming!

     

    I totally expected them to wait on TE, similar to when they picked Knox in a solid TE class. There are lots of other solid TEs in this draft but the Bills went for the best.
