Hughes is our only top-end talent and this is our contract year. Murphy is decent when healthy, which he hasn't been in 2 years. We lost Kyle this year and don't have a legit 3-technique besides Phillips. Our line needs an infusion of youth or else we are going to be in trouble 2020.

I dunno how they'd do it, just heard it during the combine coverage on NFLN.

Then go DT, there are excellent DTs for the taking at 9. Meant to say lineS.

Jags are supposed to be all-in for Nick Foles

Build the freaking lines!

There are a bunch of mid-to-late round rbs I'd rather have. Myles Gaskin Darrell Henderson Benny Snell Justice Hill Devin Singletary

I don't want to move Dawkins to the right side. There are plenty of decent RTs available in FA and in the draft, it's harder to pick up a solid LT.

I doubt Zay doesn't get a chance to play out his rookie contract very much.

I like this move, let's do it

So you're saying that your opinion is worth more than that of others

My list - Paradis - Daryl Williams/ Ju'wan Taylor - Jesse James That's about it. I'd be happy picking up someone like Thomas Davis as well and I'm sure we'll sign some depth, but the 3 guys up top fill needs that would allow us to draft BPA. You can pick up a G in the 3rd or 4th that should represent starting value.

Glad to see him get another shot. Should have been a backup since the beginning.

If I'm not mistaken, this signing doesn't even count against us in the comp pick category because he was a cut, correct?

Schadenfreude abounds

I wanted Rosen but Allen won me over.

The draft is stacked with blue chip DTs and we don't have a difference-maker at the position that can sack the QB. Confused as to how you don't see this as a need.

Why is half this thread about Sammy Watkins?

Who listens to the radio anymore? We complaining about 8-tracks next? I tried listening to snippets of the show on the Bills website back when Jones was on, got tired of him interrupting every conversation awkwardly and simply stopped. But even then I wasn't trying to listen to that junk live.

The draft is a crapshoot. The best you can do is to scout as best you can and minimize risk when making a pick. If the general consensus is that a player is quite good but not elite, then it's up to the FO to make the call on whether to take a chance on a player, but we as fans don't have that information and I don't see it being logical to push a player's value higher than what pros think simply because we want someone at that position. I don't want to keep talking about drafting players in a thread about James though. You can DM me if you want to discuss it and I'd be happy to respond. I like James and would like him on the team if we don't grossly overpay him.

Are you referring to the reported interest in James for an unspecified amount or to someone else? Your point being we just ignore more important positions and draft one of them in the event that one of them turns out to be a HOF player? That could apply to any decent player at any position.

There aren't "elite" TEs in this class though by all accounts. There are 3 who are purported to be quite good in Hockenson, Fant and Smith, but no one is calling them the next Gronk.

Agreed. Mocks are just for fun and should never be taken seriously. Renfrow isn't going in the 6th, nor Samuel in the 5th or Bradbury in the 4th most likely.

I don't really care for fanspeaks boards, then again with first-pick's ability to trade up and down you get crazy stuff like this one where I draft most of the players I like:

I mean I hope so. That has him making less then a 2nd round rookie was making last year. I'd be happy if we get him for <6M. I like him, but the production isn't there to justify paying him at higher than middle of the pack for his position.

This salary is completely unrealistic
