What about the pre draft brew ha with Geno Smith, Matt Barkley , E.J.Manuel, Mike Glennon, Tyler Wilson, (my fave Ryan Nassib), Landry Jones, and Zac Dysert? IIRC, the top 2 were Geno and Matt (who were the most argued over) went....39 and 48 LOL. Of course under the astute leadership of Whaley and Brandon, the Bills take E.j. at 16. Ahhh, those must have been the good ole days..... if one were to listen to some of the posters here now who use the word McClappy and complain about Beane.🤪 EDIT: I did pick Groot!

I only read a little about Mazi Smith and all I came away with was a guy who has the build but not much production and got caught with an unregistered handgun. Speaking of Dline and ends, how do we fit the 53?

The Sporting News top 140. They have Wright at 41 and Washington at 44. (FWIW....Sanders at 33 and Campbell at 70.) OBL was looking at the Defenses in our division and we are gonna have to be tuff on the Oline. Darnell Washington would be a good add. Give me him and Avila after the 1st rd.

I was just looking at Sporting News top 140 and at 27....Isaiah Foskey and I will not complain. It's really a far different listing than other sites. Check it out. I bet there will be some changes of opinion.

The question for me is....Would it be better to have a top tier communicator and badass in the middle who can cover in zone? or do I want someone with one year inside who may be better at OLB for his pass rushing ability from the end? For me, I'd rather have Campbell, because MLB is more important. I'd love to have a stud OLB who can hit the gaps or around the end, but it would seem like trying to have Sanders doing double duty. I don't think that's doable. One or the other..Would love both. Sanders / Campbell / Milano would be the shyt. Bernard / Spector and Matekevich make 6....and I'd still like Klein back depending if it's possible to carry that number. I am all for Beane dipping into next year's picks to move up when he needs to.

Well I've said it before, the 1st rd. pick has to play. period. That being said, it bear's discussion as to roster numbers. If they go DT or DE, how many linemen can they keep? Anyone going to the P.S. is as good as gone....likely a Giant. BTW, I think Kingsley Jonathan ( who would have been the no.1 overall pick in the CFL), is probably better than any edge we could find after pick 91. They can cut some fat off the Oline, but at the expense of demoting Brown?....that's really questionable judgement IMO. A no. 27 pick has to start day 1. Brown had no off season last year and is on his 2nd year with Kromer as well as his 2nd O.C. so I will defer to Beane's judgement on him. IMO, we need a C or better yet a C/G. I prefer Avila ( considering where we pick in the 2nd.) How many LBs can they keep? We, I believe currently we have 5. Not a big Dodson fan. Same with WRs. We have what? 5 not counting Kumerow? I doubt a day one difference maker will be there at 27....let alone the old adage that it takes 2 to 3 years for a WR to break out. I think we can find a future stud 91 or in the 4th or even later. All that being said, I would take Kincaid or Meyer if either fell to us and try like hell to make a move for Sanders....Or I would go Campbell, Avila and Musgrave. Avila...6'3 1/2 332 played center 2021 and guard 2022 not allowing a single sack. I'm willing to bet come draft day Beane makes moves none of us saw coming.

Not to mention picking where we are....nothing is a "reach"...and a 1st rd. player has to play so the minute they draft Wright, they are removing Brown. Hell Bates could play RT most likely better than a rookie. Just not a move I would make. We do need an OT and C/G, but not with the 1st of 6 picks.

N. Smith / Cancey or Breese would be my guess....if it were to happen.

I think Jones will be the best tackle in the future and 40 seems to be the right spot. I don't wanna draft a tackle just because worst case we can move him inside. I would rather have a C/G like Avila learning next to Morse and go with a Breeland later.

KANCEY!!!!!!

Oh don't get mad ...cause 2 outta 3 ain't bad....

Jack Campbell Steve Avila Rashee Rice

Didn;t think of that.

It's a hard decision to make. One one hand, you get an extra RT...who could free up Knox and very well only be 20 Lbs away from being a good RT...or.. do you go with an offensive weapon? Quinton Morris is a slippery dude that can catch. What do ya do?

Well he's gonna have a legitimate shot at one of the top 2.....

Well I heard McD say he doesn't want Josh running so much. I'm sure that conversation with Dorsey was had quite a while ago.

Far as I can tell....Clinton Portis Willis McGahee Frank Gore Look up the 2001 roster, IT IS INSANE wow...

Yes, I listen to One Bills Live every day. I also listen to other hosts and read. Dorsey, IIRC was a Heisman winner that had Shockey and Winslow. I'm sure he's familiar with TEs and how to use them. Saffold was an absolute waste, Brown had no off season and one year with his 2nd O.C....and Dion is starting to look soft. If Kromer can light a fire on this line (which I won't call set yet), there should be enough improvement to be able to run the ball. Hopefully he'll have solid slot play and Knox doesn't have to line up behind the RG to help in pass pro.

I believe we will see that...especially given the comments of the HEAD coach concerning Allen running.

I think Dorsey will be much improved this year to the same point I expect our Defense to improve. There was talk on the radio about the reason Josh was reluctant to take a lot more check downs and quick slants and throwing darts. Maybe Dorsey was reluctant to call them also. It was said that the throwing motion on those throws created different stresses on the elbow vs. the long release. Not only do I expect a better run game, but more of a quick, move the chains offense this year. I have faith in Dorsey.

I think after pick 20, it's gonna be a crap shoot. There is no telling who will be there and who won't. While I'm on the Campbell train, I'll stick with the premise of the thread. If Darnell Washington is there at 27(Kincaid and Meyer being gone)...along with every other 27th pick quality, I'd be looking to trade down to the Saints or Philly and get the 4th or 3rd respectively and pick Darnell. It would be like having a 2nd RT, great run blocker and an outlet that can;t be defended. As far as WR, I like Rashee Rice who can be that alpha in the next yr. or 2 in the 4th if possible. I think he can be an Andre Reed.

I'd actually love it if they signed Fluker. If he's better than Brown ( which I would think) then Brown can go to swing and keep working on his game and we can get Qberry the Hell out of here. Fluker looks like he's gonna be a beast for someone....and Brown can learn from him.

This was talked about yesterday by Brown and Tasker. They made good points in that why would the Cards release him? Ultimately it would save them maybe 8 mil. on the cap but they believe as do I, that some team will at least give them future assets so it would be foolish to get absolutely nothing in return. If it was a 1 yr. 15 mil. deal teams would be lining up, but 2 or more yrs. at 40 plus and /or assets?

One situation I'm keeping an eye on is Balt. Right now they only have 5 picks. They have until May 1st to exercise Patrick Queen's 5th yr. option. NFL rules are that they have to notify a player after yr. 3 by early May. They gave R. Smith 100 mil. deal. Do they do it or trade him to gain picks. They may very well move Lamar and get a bunch, but even then Queens 5th yr. won't be cheap. He's coming into his prime after a terrific year and could maybe be had for a mid to/and late rd. 2024 pick(s). I'm sure that contract could be done somehow with him being on his 4th yr. If Lamar does sign the tag or gets a deal to stay in Balt., then they damn sure can't afford it. I'm assuming we'll keep Ed, but if the board goes to crap on draft night, this could essentially give us an extra pick for another position.....plus we get a proven vet just entering his prime.

In my head....no trades Campbell Avila LaPorta Rice BPA CB/Safety BPA DT
