Brand J

Which position are they considering for him? LB? Doesn’t look big enough to play DL. EDIT: 6’1” 265lbs, I guess he could try DE. We know he can scrap in the trenches, we don’t know if he’s fast enough and has the bend to get around the corner. He’d certainly be undersized on the edge and would lack the pass rushing skills of another undersized rookie Javon Solomon.

Too bad she didnt make an appearance. No doubt she would’ve wanted to get paid though.

When Beane selected Groot and Boogie back to back, he later told the media “we need to affect the quarterback.” Those two weren’t drafted to set the edge in the run game, they were drafted to disrupt the opponent’s passing offense. From that standpoint, Groot has been a miss up until this point, he doesn’t rush the QB very well or rack up sack numbers. He’s a good player, but not a difference maker and shouldn’t be signed to a contract that values him as such. Off the top of my head, I know that Aaron Donald and Maxx Crosby played in over 80% of the snaps for their careers.

It’ll be a highly competitive receiver room full of JAGs trying to beat each other out. May the best man win.

Not sure anyone is “obsessing.” It’s not our money, just a bad deal handed out by our favorite team. And yes, it’s in the past, but that doesn’t preclude anyone from talking about it.

If Knox catches that easy first down against the Steelers, Bernard likely doesn’t get hurt and we have him for the game against the Chiefs. I’m not singling out that one play as a referendum on Dawson, but he lets too many routine plays get away from him. He’s 2nd string for a reason.

That guy was dropping passes all year, even had a reporter asking him “whats wrong?” In the playoffs he made some tough catches. The WR needy Chiefs moved on, I don’t think we should pursue him.

Can’t remember where it was that I heard it, but Beane sounded like he was in favor of some sort of QB salary cap rules. He said something along the lines of “yeah, these QB contracts are getting a bit out there…” EDIT: I do remember it came while discussing the approach to deciding who to pay when you’ve got a QB making as much as Josh (and Allen might not even be in the top 10 anymore!). It’s a quandary, you can’t win without a top QB, but their contracts make building a team challenging.

The reworked one is fine, the one he signed a couple years ago was not.

They already get more than that. It was hovering around 24% a year ago, whereas in 2010 it was closer to 16%. Contracts go up, but that’s entirely based on position. RB for example hasn’t increased and takes up a lower percentage of the cap than in the past.

Joe Marino said that Knox is the highest paid skill player on offense. That’s wild.

I remember hearing, reading, seeing somewhere that there was internal angst in the organization that the team got the Aaron Maybin pick wrong after his rookie minicamp. I guess it can happen pretty quick.

Probably inflated numbers. He’s noticeably smaller than his father. His father wasn’t a big back either so Jr’s size surprises me a bit. Frank Gore Sr vs Jr EDIT: CBS Sports has him listed as 5 foot 7 5/8” and 201 lbs.

We’ve certainly had a haul this draft and the next and depending on the amount of hits, those signature Brandon Beane 1 year player contracts will greatly diminish. I don’t see a ton of needs where young players could contribute, but that’s assuming half the players we drafted this year amount to at least “good.” I like how the Bills are positioned going forward.

The best players will play. If Edward’s and Holline prove to be more capable than those behind them, they’ll be in the game. Same with Tim Settle. If he proves he’s the Texans 3rd best rotational DT there won’t be any monitoring of snaps for comp pick consideration.

The Bills make it sound like it’s up to Hyde and if he wants to come back at a modest amount. I think if all things are equal and he doesn’t retire, he’ll be back in Buffalo as one of the starting safeties.

We all will definitely be assessing Coleman vs Worthy Legette Mitchell McConkey and even Franklin, since so many of us wanted him in the 3rd.

Curious move. He doesn’t bleed “process.”

The days of AJ Klein leaving the family RV to cover Travis Kelce in the playoffs is a thing of the past.

I loved the trade down for the reason of adding draft capital. I’d almost always prefer a trade down than a trade up because I’d like more picks. More chances to draft a gem. Beane actually tried to trade up in the 2nd to get Bishop but said “thankfully no one was taking my calls.” He got antsy as usual and if a trade up did happen, you’re right, we don’t get Davis. We’re moving past giving players 1 year contracts and relying more on draft picks, which I also love, but to rely on picks, we’ve got to stock the cupboard. Beane seems to be getting smarter about draft capital, despite the failed Bishop trade up.

Picking up the 5th year option was a no brainer. I can’t remember who I was arguing with, but someone here said they’d gladly pay Rousseau $20M/yr to extend him. I was adamant that at that price you let him walk, unless he proves to be more of a QB disruptor. If he doesn’t show any better than he has thus far, my maximum yearly would be $15M/yr, a shade under Oliver.

6’0” with a 6’8” wingspan and hands over 10”?? He’s one of those disproportionate genetic freaks like Rajon Rondo.

Feels like a Luke Tenuta throwaway pick.

I’m reading “Van Pran-Granger!” as “down goes Frazier!” Anyone else?

Maybe some sort of juicing, no doubt. Just looked up the 4.38 video, he dusted whoever he was racing and supposedly ran the time as a 48 year old. It was hand timed. He also raced Tyreek Hill at 44 years old and Hill only beat him by a couple strides, so he’s definitely faster than the 4.63 he posted at the combine.
