What was your grading difference between who is left and Mitchell? Should we have moved up in front of Philly, in your opinion?

If GB can host a draft, Buffalo can.

We are going to end up with the fast combine WR who isn’t as fast on an actual football field, aren’t we.

This.

Freaking Eagles.

It upsets me so very much that the Eagles constantly have great players falling to them.

Eagles are 100% taking the CB right

How does Philly constantly find themselves in these incredible positions.

Chiefs PTSD!

I’m fearful that the Chiefs jump in front of us and take a WR.

McD must be licking his chops seeing all the defensive players fall.

Chicago is doing it right

LT at 5. I would never.

Don’t love Maye going to NE.

Could be. Depends how many 2nd round grades there are. If there are 30+ second round grades, then it would still be a 2nd round pick.

I have to agree with Alpha here. If you watch Worthy's highlights, he isn't really separating from the CB very much. It's not like Tyreek Hill where he just blazes past guys.

Chris Trappaso (CBS) made a good point on WGR last night. When you're picking 28th and lower every year, a 1st round pick is really a 2nd round pick. In most draft years, there are only about 20-25 first round graded players. So if you're a team like the Bills, who is consistently picking late 20's in the first round, trading a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick is similar to trading 2 second round picks.

You will receive an email too. Looks like this:

The demolition idea is a bit ridiculous. Say a new owner wanted to move the team in 15 years - The State/County would NOT demolish a 15 year old stadium. They would move UB there before that happened. It’s one of those “this sounds good but isn’t of any real benefit” type clauses.

I’ve read the entire lease agreement top to bottom. I recommend that everyone does. It IS just a question of paying back the money. The Buffalo News is funded by PSE and puts out puff pieces like you listed all the time. The goal is to convince the public of what they want - in this case, that the lease is ironclad. It’s not. The theory that the Bills (and NYS) attempted to float is that NYS could sue the Bills to stay. Except, no court in recent history has ever stopped a team from moving. And multiple cities have tried. “If the goal here is to keep the Bills in Buffalo long term, then [the lease] absolutely should have an extremely stringent requirement [to stay]… It’s weak to me.” - J.C. Bradbury, an economics professor at Kenneshaw State University who has studied stadium deals. The demolition talk is ridiculous. The State/County has no desire to demolish a stadium less than 30 years old. They would move UB there before that happened.

If someone purchased the team RIGHT NOW, for the fair market value, it would only cost about ~20% more to leave. Twenty percent more, to leave us with a hole in the ground and an bunch of metal and concrete. After 15 years, the penalty to relocate reduces annually.

If this is correct, then PSL’s are following a formula of two and a half times the season ticket rate in the non-club seats. Question becomes: Is this a multiple of the current season-ticket rate, or the new stadium-season ticket rate?

And it took the Jets 3 years. This isn’t some massive difference - it’s literally 10 months. Your attempts to frame it as drastically different is not going to fly.

Wow, that's a nice looking stadium.

Trubisky was a 1st round pick on his rookie contract too. There were no takers. But forget that for a moment - even when they released him, and it cost NOTHING in trade value to sign him, teams still had little interest. He signed a 1 year $2M deal. No turnips here. Even with the Jets picking up half his salary, they are STILL paying him more than we are for Trubisky (2.75 vs 2.5).
