Coach Tuesday

That'd be an amazing draft.

I keep telling you Jboyst, stay away from packaged flesh...

So how much more did Grigson cost us with the Constanzo deal? Regardless (or "irregardless," as the idiots say), it's great when you draft well, develop well, and retain. That's how quality organizations work.

The Bills' roster and cap situation is rather unique in that it has a very low amount of $$ allocated to the QB position. So if you factor in the fact that Tyrod is playing for $1M or whatever, I think it justifies a higher-than-normal allocation of cap dollars to other positions, including running back. That said, putting aside his contract number, I question Shady's fit for Roman's offense. Seemed to me that Karlos and Gilleslee ran Roman's plays just as well, if not better than Shady. And I'm a HUGE fan of the Jon Williams pick and I think he too will thrive in Roman's offense. So I'm not sure we need Shady at all (I know it's sacrilege, but I'd much rather have a playmaking linebacker who can defend the pass well...)

Did you know that Dilfer and Trent Baalke are close friends? I just learned this today: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/03/trent-dilfer-has-no-intention-to-join-49ers/ The phrase “no intention” often provides cover for a change of intentions later. And with Dilfer counting 49ers G.M. Trent Baalke as one of Dilfer’s closest friends, whenever Dilfer changes his intentions, the door could swing open. That tidbit adds some context to Dilfer's criticism of Roman's offense and Taylor's skillset, although I'm not sure which way it cuts, either it gives Dilfer more direct access to how Roman's system works, or it's part of Baalke's ongoing efforts to shift blame to his former coaching staffs...

Agreed.

Arm strength is not an issue for Prescott. I think you're confusing him with someone else, maybe Sudfeld?

Alright. Likewise.

If he can put on 10-15 lbs he's in London Fletcher territory. Yeah - wow. That dude can bend the corner and explode.

Are you joking? Prescott has a ridiculous arm.

And by the way - most of the draftniks had left Floyd out of the top ten, but I nailed that one. So sometimes I'm right...

I've heard the same thing from Steelers fans. Plus they heavily scouted all of the top corner prospects and sprinted to the podium when their pick was up. They were locked in on a corner, hell or high water. Not a good look for an organization that is usually much more disciplined on draft day. Berns is a bit of a reach if you ask me... In any event here is a dark horse OROY: Sterling Shepard of the Giants. DROY will be Bosa.

That is a good point. Still not the tipping point for me but I get it.

Maybin was decidedly NOT an elite athlete. He was a relatively fast straight-line runner with little ability to bend and with no agility.

I am very concerned that the Clemson connection swayed the pick.

"Trashing"? Holy crap some of you people are sensitive. I don't like the pick, I would've made the trade. I'm not a fan of Shaq Lawson at 19, or anywhere really - I don't love the player. He's a great leader and had a productive college career but he's not athletic enough for my liking and I think he's fairly scheme-specific. If Rex Ryan is sent packing next offseason and a 4-3 coordinator replaces him, I don't see much fit for Lawson. And even with Ryan's defense in place, I wouldn't spend the 19th pick on an edge-setter who is not an elite athlete or pass rusher. I'm really sorry that offends you so much. I'm certainly willing to be wrong... are you?

Yup. I have a different opinion than most. I can live with it. As for Washington, he was one of the worst athletes at the entire Combine, in terms of testing metrics. I hope it was just a bad week for him...

I can't tell you why the draftniks thought he'd go higher - I just don't agree with it.

I agree. But he's an edge setter, which Rex definitely needs. I just don't know if that position justifies a premium draft pick. From my standpoint, Shaq Lawson - the athlete he is and the position he plays - is something you can find in rounds 2-4. He's a non-elite athlete at a non-premium position.

Shaq is not an edge rusher.

Look bud - I appreciate your work as a poster on this board, you're great with the links and such. That said, I'm allowed to have a different viewpoint than you about this draft. I don't like it, because I don't like Lawson as a player and I think they should've taken the opportunity to add picks in Rounds 2, 3 and 4. You've expressed your displeasure with my viewpoint numerous times. Time to move on.

And if you're drafting based on need like that, you're DOA. Use free agency to fill holes, not the draft.

Let me ask you this: would you rather have Lawson and Ragland, or Ragland, Jarron Reed, and an extra 3rd and 4th in this year's draft and an extra 4th in next year's draft? I think it's a legitimate point of debate...

He sounds a lot like London Fletcher, who also went undrafted...

Correct - Dallas only offered teams in the 20s a 2nd and 4th, not a 2nd and 3rd. Read the article...
