Watched this on Youtube. Enjoyed Beane dumping on PFF. Milano is definitely gone, probably D Williams too. He basically said the team was going to allow them to test the market, if they didn't like what they were offered he would make them an offer.

Is America's Test Kitchen worth the sub? I purchased half the stuff in my kitchen on their recommendations.

Do I read? Yes. Do I read some books because I feel obligated to read certain "must reads?" Yes. But the stuff I actually enjoy is pretty much just sci fi / fantasy. Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss stand out in those genres as current authors.

I see a lot of drafts picking LTs (I've done it myself) and sliding them over to RT. How unwise is this? I note this because it seems like some people just can't adjust to switching which foot they use to slide back. Thoughts? Well, I'm doing it here in this one, which I actually like. Fairly high risk high reward draft with Rousseau, Little and Brown

I don't know how many times this opinion has been shut down by the coaching staff. Edmunds will not be changing positions.

We don't have enough ammo to trade up in the first, I could see us moving up a modest amount in the 2nd, but missing a 4th stinks this year.

Positions I believe we fill a need in FA and my top picks guesses to fill them: CB2: Shaquille Griffin, AJ Bouye DE: Julian Okwara, JJ Watt, Yannick Ngakoue TE: Jonnu Smith, Mo Alie-Cox LB: Jayon Brown, Hassan Reddick. I still think we draft someone as Milano's eventual successor

🙏

I think he could play Will given his proficiency in coverage. He could also backup at Mike. I could be wrong, but my thinking is he has a little position flexibility. Seeing as he's closer to 6'0 I don't think he's actually tall enough for MLB though that's where he's played and is most often mocked playing.

I haven't done a ton of work looking at this guy, but isn't he pretty risky?

Coverage Lb in rd 1, solid potential cb2 in rd 2, Giant space eater in rd 3, Big Nickel in rd 5, rounding out the draft with a PR/KR along with 2 developmental Edge rushers. I'd be ok with this. Wish I could have picked up a decent OL but it didn't fall that way.

If only for rd 1 I would be thrilled with this draft.

Appreciate it. He usually asks.

Transition tag him then?

I just realized that I was more excited about Mario than I am about JJ Watt... must be the age. I'm pretty much over all the speculation on Watt already.

I wouldn't welcome him.

I don't see anything wrong with bitterness. The team drafted him in the 5th and gave him a shot. He just went to the AFC Championship game with this team. There are players on the Bucs offering to take pay cuts to stay around and we have a relatively young LB who has decided that he values money more than staying on the team. Does that make me want to root for him? No, because I don't care about Matt Milano personally, I care about the Bills as they are the team I have chosen to root for since childhood. I don't care if he makes a lot of money or a little money; his value to me is directly related to how much or little he helps the Bills. Fandom is not something I owe a player. If he chooses to leave the Bills I'll stop caring about him altogether and not wish him well or ill. I don't understand when people get mad at other fans for criticizing a player. This is a game and it's not personal. For 99% of players I view them joining or leaving a team with the same enthusiasm I would if they joined my Madden team, they're a name and stats to me and little else. Every once in a while a player like Kyle or Fred Jackson comes along and I become a fan of that player specifically. I root for those players when they leave the team. Milano is not in that category for me.

Moving exclusively to the Draft Network for the rest of my mocks. This one with trades was just too unrealistic

honestly, despite hi2 2 pick 6s, I'd rather find a big Nickel who can help up shore up our atrocious TE coverage. Nasirildeen would do this.

Give me 2-4 of his LB rankings in the 1st and I'd be happy to move on from Milano. 2) Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Notre Dame 3) Nick Bolton, Missouri 4) Jabril Cox, LSU

I rarely ever look at instagram, turned out you can learn more about interplayer dynamics from instagram comments than ESPN. I did not know Diggs and Leonard Fournette were friends. There are a bunch of interesting subcomment threads for those who care to look.

I'm confused. Why has there been all this talk about not being able to sign Milano, who is important for us, at 12-13/yr and we're suddenly all ok with paying 12M for a rotational piece? I mean, I want to pay him 12M too, just realized that I had the sam attitude described above and thought it was worth noting.

Or they could extend Brown 1 year, lower his cap his dramatically and not create another need. We can lower his cap hit significantly with some pretty basic changes in structure.

This is one of those threads where we just throw all real information out of the window and instead indulge in wild, unfounded speculation? I have no idea if Star want to be traded for Aaron Donald, but if both parties are amenable I'd do it.
