Watch the Raiders go after Murray too. They will be entertaining if nothing else.

Well, Beane showed he’s willing to trade down from 9. So maybe swap 1sts and Hughes or Lawson?

If Beane was willing to go after Brown, go get Desean Jackson. TB is tight against the cap. Bet they’d do it for a 4th round pick.

Not sure they can break bank for Williams if they are paying Solder and Zeitler that much.

I think Beane and Bills come out looking very good. Shows to everyone the Bills are serious about building a winner. Dudes who don’t want to be a part of it... onto the next.

Pretty good deal for Redskins...$3.5m for Keenum. I think most teams would take Keenum for that price. Backup money.

Winner. Shut the thread down.

Weary of all these reports we are on Paradis and Williams. Jerry Tarkanian used to say after a kid verbally committed to another school, “Now I just know who the competition really is.”

Ha! You got me on that one.

But if you’re giving up a 3rd, the first 2 years are basically guaranteed because you’re not cutting a guy after a year that you spent a 3rd round pick on.

That’s a lot of money for a Guard. 3 years $32m left on his deal. And have to give up a draft pick? He better be All Pro level for that.

I know that the NFL has to put parameters around when you can legally tamper, but it’s gotta be impossible from keeping agents from playing footsie with GM’s and knowing what other teams are willing to pay well before the legal tampering date.

As crazy as he looks, Brown might’ve just played this perfectly to get his ticket out of Pittsburgh.

I predict Gruden either takes Metcalf at pick 4 or trades up to get him with picks 24 and 27. He can’t help himself when it comes to a toy like this.

This has Raiders written all over it.

When you’re $80m under the cap, the Bills can afford to hand out a lot of these type of 1 year deals where they over-pay for 1 year to fill holes until draft picks/young guys are ready to play.

I got more respect for Polite than GM’s hiding anonymously behind Casserly. At least Polite is putting his name behind what he said. If you’re gonna trash somebody, own it.

Becoming pretty obvious Arizona is taking Murray #1. Guess he hurt a couple loser GM’s feeling during interviews, but if I know I’m going #1, not sure why I’d give any info to guys who are gonna be trying to beat me for the next 15 years. So I guess it’s fair game for GM’s to whine to Casserly about an interview with a prospect, but when a prospect like Polite talks about being criticized in interviews it’s a no-no.

Probably means they value Saffold higher and are trying to find ways to keep Saffold.

I don’t think he signs before free agency without $4-5m.

No one way to build a winner. If Bills view Barr as a difference maker at LB and as an edge rusher and you can get a top 5 DL talent at pick 9, that’s better than throwing huge money at mediocre OL in free agency and reaching for offensive talent in the draft. They can still get a good WR/TE in round 2 and a good interior OL in Round 3.

We sign Barr and draft Wilkins, Gary, or Oliver at 9, this defense could be sick.

I think it’s gonna be hard to pass on a DL at pick 9. You’re basically getting a top 5 talent at DL in this draft at 9. If Murray, Haskins, and Devin White go before us as predicted, one of Bosa, Q Williams, Allen, Gary, Oliver, and Wilkins will be there. Those guys are top 5 picks in almost any other year.

Frankly it would’ve been nice if the Bills could’ve admitted their mistakes more quickly in the last 20 years. But it probably would’ve been easier to move on from the Losmans and the Manuels if we had the #1 overall pick and somebody who was as dynamic as Murray in the draft.

My best guess is a 3rd this year and a 3rd next year that could become a 1st.
