Not sure if you are aware, but there are about 10 or more different charts out there. Places have tried to change the pick valuations based on recent activity. The most known one is the Jimmy Johnson, but there are so many other charts out there.

What are you talking about? Oliver would have been a UFA. He would have been negotiating with 31 other teams come March.

Beane has been on record in the past saying how important the fifth year option was. Has he even not picked up a 5th year option? Is Ed Oliver on this team without the fifth year option? You 100% worry about the fifth year option right now. It's the reason why Carolina traded up into the first. Happens every year with teams getting back into the 1st for the 5th year option.

Exactly, it was even on the trade value chart, which means the Bills shouldn't have done it. It should have taken a massive overpay to make the trade. There was an analytics guy after the trade that said the net points the Bills got in this trade, was the 4th worst ever. These draft trades very rarely end up equal.

Agree to disagree on Kneeland. He is an athlete freak that I think will do really well in the NFL. He is a 3 down 4-3 DE. Has the size and arm length you want. Beane says that every year about players. It's GM talk. I wouldn't put any stock into it. Go re-watch the video, when they are talking amongst each other, they never mention who they are after. Then when they couldn't move up, Pegula is like, so we are taking Bishop? If that is who they were after in trying to trade up, why would that even be a question. Beane then has to "defend" Bishop in saying I think he will be a really good kid. Kind had the vibes of, we didn't the guy we were after, but this will still be a good player. Brings me back to the Brad Richards, Ville Leino FA BS back in the day.

I don't like how much power Beane has with the trading of picks. Seemed like it all ran through him, and not once did he look to analytics guy to see if the deal was a good deal. Like the KC deal should have never happened, but Beane was so hell bent on getting into the 3rd, the value was terrible for the Bills. Same situation for the Carolina movement. The difference between a 5th and 6th was not worth losing the 5th year option. You draft a player thinking that player will make multiple pro bowls, if you don't think that way, don't draft the player. The money difference between the 5th year option and a contract extension for a guy like Chase is over 10 million. Any analytic guy could tell you this. Instead Beane just pulled the trigger on another dumb trade. I also don't think the Bills were after Bishop when trying to move up in the 2nd. The editing made it seem that way, but I bet they were trying to get up for a different player. Bishop was drafted right where he was projected and was in a tier of a lot of different safeties, like they felt with WR in the first. I think the drop off after Keenland for edge rushers was pretty large.

It's a little crazy to think that if Claypool's production in year 1 and 2, were actually in year 3 and 4, he would have got a Gabe Davis contract. Instead he just signed for 25k guaranteed, where he can only earn a max of 1.225 million.

It's been well documented that Brady was the assistant to the assistant at LSU. He didn't have say in the offense or personnel. The WR there were Chase and Jefferson.

The Bills are entering an era of running a Big Ten offense. It's clear as day with the acquisitions that have come this offseason and how the offense operated when Brady took over. Coleman interview

Which one of these players will retire before or during season?

If taking a flyer on a guy, I would have preferred MVS over Claypool.

Slayton is cheaper and a better option for this team than Sutton.

I wonder about Slayton. Will he really play hard ball with the Giants and not report? He would fit in nicely here.

23 games, 42 recs, 620 yards, 3 tds. The definition of a JAG.
