Behave? What? The guy has not done a damn thing wrong. What on earth are you talking about.

This is a bummer because now there is one more team looking for an outside corner probably in the first 2 rounds of the draft.

I heard a reporter here in Dallas talking about it. He had the info. It definitely wasn't an oops moment. It was his whole no pun intended point of hooking up with her. That is what he wanted and she said no so he did it anyway and when she said no he covered her mouth with his hand and pushed her down until he finished. Then he offered her 1000 dollars as an apology and asked her to sign an nda. the reason he got charged is because the woman turned over all the text messages where I guess he admits it all and was like oh sorry here is a 1000 dollars.

Joe Buscaglia has a penultimate mock draft out today and he has the Bills trading up for him. Sees him as a return man replacing codrington and next years replacement for ty johnson. TRADE! Trade details: Bills trade Nos. 169 and 170 to Commanders for No. 128 The pick at No. 128 — Brashard Smith, RB, SMU Here is Dane Brugler's summary of Brashard Smith SUMMARY: A one-year starter at SMU, Smith made the transition from receiver to running back in head coach Rhett Lashlee's balanced spread scheme. After three seasons as a pass catcher for Miami, he entered the portal, and Lashlee sold him on making a positional move that would allow him to be SMU's version of Isiah Pacheco. Smith responded with 1,977 all-purpose yards in 2024, No. 4 in the FBS behind only Ashton Jeanty, Cam Skattebo and Omarion Hampton. He was also the only FBS player with at least 1,300 yards rushing, 300 yards receiving and 300 kick-return yards in 2024. A hard-charging athlete, Smith runs with wiggle and balance to elude tacklers and make it tough for defenders to square him up, although he needs to better rely on the blocking scheme to set up defenders. He plucks the ball well outside his frame and can get open on wheels and fades. Overall, Smith needs to continue developing his run discipline and tempo, but he runs hard and explosively with terrific control for abrupt cuts. Given his versatility as a runner and receiver, he has the upside of a dynamic role player who can be flexed across the offense and affect the defensive game plan. GRADE: 4th-5th round

Joe has his penultimate mock up. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6273291/2025/04/14/buffalo-bills-mock-draft-nfl-2025-prospects/ The pick at No. 30 — Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan The Bills haven’t used a draft selection on a one-technique defensive tackle since they took Harrison Phillips in the third round in 2018, but the need for them to select one in 2025 is as clear as it has ever been. The Bills have 33-year-old DaQuan Jones as the only one-technique who is a lock for the final roster, and he’s out of contract after 2025. Generally speaking, taking a player at that position with this early of a pick isn’t an ideal use of a draft resource if the player is only going to be an early-down run-stuffer. But if they can become a three-down asset, that’s where the pick becomes a worthwhile investment. That’s where the 6-foot-3, 331-pound Grant comes in, who is a tremendous run-stuffing one-technique with some projectable pass-rushing ability. At this point, Grant is more of a clean-up pass-rusher than one who disrupts the pocket, and early on in his career, he may be nothing more than that early-down asset who has to come off the field for obvious pass-rushing situations. However, there is more of a nimbleness to his movement abilities than other massive one-technique run-stuffers. He’ll never dip and rip through blockers, but through his power and movement skills, there is a path to seeing him develop as an asset on third downs. With a drop-off at the position from Grant to the next batch of one-technique defensive tackles, No. 30 could be the right time to strike. He could become the starting one-technique alongside Ed Oliver as early as this season, shifting Jones into more of a rotational role. The pick at No. 56 — Oluwafemi Oladejo, Edge, UCLA The pick at No. 62 — Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina The pick at No. 109 — Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas TRADE!

Keep that creep away from Josh Allen please

Atlanta could maybe make a deal for cousins. They would clear cap space and get draft picks from a division rival that is going to lose with or without cousins.

He wasn’t arrested for a domestic incident, he raped a girl he was trying to hook up with on Instagram, then after when she told him that was wrong and she said no he offered her a thousand dollars and asked her to sign an nda. he held her down with his hand over her mouth and raped her while she was saying no.

Anyone who saw the police report and what the woman said would never draft this guy. but someone will because someone always does

Joe has a write up on wr options for Buffalo based on Dane brugler’s guide. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6270635/2025/04/11/bills-nfl-draft-2025-wide-receiver-fits/?source=user_shared_article seems like these guys think golden makes it to 30 now.

Do you know how lousy of a dude you have to be to actually get arrested as a player at Texas. This school coddles and spoils its players more than any other. there is always someone at some level in the government or police department to keep anything these guys do from actually getting out publicly or to never actually get charged. in the old days the colleges would lean on the accuser or the judges but today it’s so out of whack that is not even necessary. so to actually get in trouble there you have to be quite a moron.

You will have to take it up with him. He has certainly done the research and knows everything about the guy.

FWIW, Dane Brugler has Harmon at 16 and grant at 25 in his top 100. his write up on ezieraku made me like him a little more and he has him at 22. And at 30 he has Jahdee Barron. seems impossible that guy would get to 30. I heard Bryan broaddus talking about him the other day and said he is Trent Mcduffie.

Dane brugler has him as the 12th ranked dt and sees him is a 3rd to 4th round player. apparently Matt rhule loves him and he played 3 and 4 technique in Nebraska’s 3-3-5 front. Brugler projects him as a rotational player who can play in an even or odd front and says he is suited for a 1tech spot in an even front like the bills play mostly.

Amen to that. In just want to watch die hard and play my new Commodore 64 games in peace on Xmas day.

Man Mike north gave up the real reason for the international games. he said they are looking for a media partner to buy in as the home of our international games, then later he said Netflix reached 200 countries with a global license. so basically the nfl is going to play more international games going forward so they can get another billion dollars or more from Netflix. This also will drive 18 games in the regular season so teams will still have at least the regular 8 games at home. Also a game in Abu Dhabi . Ridiculous. The nfl’s greed has no end.

For anyone who is interested Dane Bruglers draft guide came out this morning.

That’s fine I posted because it seems to be one of the core questions the team is going to run into on day 1. also, the reality is nobody’s evaluations mean anything or are worth anything. It’s become its own business and all the scouting and mocks exist to fill the void in content. unless you work for an nfl team and a person above you in the food chain is relying on you for an evaluation and/or comparison for a group of players you are just entertaining yourself. Literally nobody cares nor does it matter. dane brugler spends all his time watching college tape and puts out the biggest draft book there is. A few years ago while working in Dallas he told a story about getting an interview to be a scout with the pats, belichick didn’t care at all about his evaluations and told him to watch tape of a few players and give an evaluation the way they wanted. Long story short, he didn’t get the job. Brugler had Bryan broaddus in his corner a former GM, scout and director of player personnel and he still couldn’t get an nfl job. I say this not to demean anyone or belittle it but it’s no different than me playing the guitar. The e street band won’t be calling me anytime soon if you know what I mean. I do it because I enjoy it, same as the draft analysts.

Of course but it’s a long way from 30 to 56 when you have no starting corner opposite benford.

Why is cook a villain all of a sudden? Is it because people are just desperate to have something to talk about? trading players before the draft is when they are worth the least and you would be losing anyway you go about it at this time of year. Cook should have a great year.

I can't imagine anyone left outside of douglas who could be signed post draft and be considered a starting corner in Buffalo. they have shown year after year they can find veterans to play well on the d line although that is not ideal either.

seems like they have to. I have felt the biggest area of need this offseason was the secondary. They went status quo at safety and are currently short a corner. So the CB position needs seem to come above all else.

Greg Cosell has the opposite opinion fwiw. He even suggest Harmon is a developmental prospect who might not offer much in year 1. He seems to love Grant although also calls him a player to be developed...which i guess is true of every young player, but cosell thinks grant has light, quick feet and is more than a run player. Cosell thinks Nolen is the best of all the DT prospects in the class.
