Super please with this pick up. We have solid depth at CB. Shaping up to be a solid BPA draft. We're going to be cutting some decent guys come training camp in final cuts.

He had a workout with the team. I presume they're happy with his weight and speed since they signed him.

They don't look guilty. These players and their movement were using the lawsuit to prop up their visibility, they don't have that anymore. The settlement will be in the news for maybe a week and people will forget about it. A case would have given them relevance for even longer.

The fact that they settled for so little just shows they didn't have a case. You don't sell out a "movement" about taking a stand (or knee) by taking a settlement if you have proof, you drag the organization through the mud to protect other players to encourage them to make similar stands in the future.

Throwaway comments like this in articles are so annoying because they are super vague and shirk any responsibility. Who was doing the "saying" that the Bills were furious? Cause saying that they were "said" to be furious is not attributing that comment to a source, it's basically just repeating a rumor, which is trash reporting. I can say Rich Cimini is "said" to pee sitting down; that doesn't mean I can verify it, but now I've put it out there as reported truth.

OL to TE specifically, I can't recall one. But there are plenty of CBs who transition to S successfully and that change is harder than you'd think. Plenty of college Ts who switch to G in the NFL as well. Lorax is playing OLB/DE and he started his career on the DL, then OL/TE and then lost a bunch of weight and now plays everywhere, so it's not the weirdest thing.

Oliver then Risner/Lindstrom would be great. I'd be ok with the Taylor/Tillery as well

Tillery and Jones are probably the best 3 techniques who are going in the 2nd in mocks right now. Daniel Wise is a decent mid-round option.

Looks like we could go 10-6, so I'll say 9-7 just cause there's always at least one game that swings the wrong way.

I believe he said he was in a holding pattern right now and they were likely done looking at FA DL at this point, but maybe after the draft (seems like he was open to picking up someone who might be available via trade or getting cut as a result of a team drafting a younger player).

I didn't bother reading this tome of a post beyond the opening sentence. I presume I can summarize it by saying "some guy ?s on our last 2 drafts for whatever reason." Did I get it right?

I've changed my mind about this topic, I am now fully against it. Should I start my own thread?

The XFL is the best thing to happen to the AAF. Support that might have been tepid from the NFL will be significantly stronger now just out of spite. The NFL has neglected having a minor league for too long out of fear that it would negatively affect it's free farm system (NCAA). Glad the XFL is coming back around just for the AAF's sake.

Just wrapping my head around the fact that your decision warranted it's own thread about a player who has been discussed in probably half of the threads on the front page

So, DL/TE/OL in the first 3 rounds in some order

Stranger things have happened, but I believe consensus from the rumor mill is the only 2 QBs that are likely to go in the top 10 are Haskins and Murray

Look at OP's name - his topic is a surprise to you?

The draft is SO...FAR...AWAY

I'm not even embarrassed to wear my old whiter jersey, which is an embarrassing jersey

IMO Dillard is being artificially pushed up people's boards because he is seen as the best pure LT prospect in the draft, where most of the top tackles are RTs and people are preemptively deciding that teams are going to move Jonah Williams to G. He might be a decent prospect, but he is not a top 10 player in this draft.

What was said?

Tim is a good writer who absolutely loves being a troll. He had a ridiculous and protracted back and forth with some 80s hair band lead singer's wife some some reason or another that turned me off of defending him. Some funny quips in that exchange, but at the end of the day, are you really spending your day publicly taking shots at someone's missus, that's a good use of your time?

Aw crap, now I like him a bit more...
