Bill from NYC

Taylor Swift. Case closed.

Thank you for yet another great post! It amazes me how so many great players were drafted so late. I noticed that they chose Jake Scott on pick 159 over Bryce Paup. I was very young when Scott played but remember thinking that he was great. Bryce's career being cut short had to affect this ranking, but some of my favorite Bills memories consist of watching Bryce rush the passer at RWS. He was brutal and great at using his long, strong arms to fend off blockers. Really, that was a great link!

I'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time Will open up again I'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched me once Will smile and take me in And I'll drink and dance with one hand free Let the world back into me And oh I'll be a sight to see Back in the high life again

I think that police departments do better investigations than schools. Do ya remember what happened at PennState? I for one would not take a school's word for any criminal investigation, but hey;.....that's just me.

Let me be clear. I respect your football knowledge quite a bit and admire your posts. You also seem like a nice person. That said, just because you say something "multiple times" does not necessarily make what you say factual. If that was the case, everybody could say something again and again and be 100% correct just by virtue of doing so. We will never agree on this topic, nor is there any real way of finding out the truth. It's all cool. I am not defending Beane at all! I am putting the blame on McDermott for continuing the Bills tradition of too much focus on defensive backs, despite other bigger needs. This started with the trade of the Mahomes pick to the Chiefs and extends all the way to this season, when instead of providing Josh more weapons, he drafted another first round corner.

Yeah, so I guess that in 2022 when the Bills gave up a 4th round pick to move up two spots for Kaiir Elam, this trade too was orchestrated by Beane. After all, the fact that McDermott was a defensive back in college and a former assistant secondary coach played no part in this glorious trade, or the one which handed the Chiefs Mahomes and numerous Super Bowl wins. He was olly too willing to let Beane, a communications major in college, put his player expertise to work. Gotcha. I will however concede the fact that Beane being a communications major does help him at his job. He is able to clearly ask McDermott, "who should we draft," and clearly respond, "yes sir."

If this is the case (which I certainly do not doubt), why would anyone be willing to believe that he has the final, or even an equal say to McDermott wrt the draft? I really wish I could understand this. So who takes the blame for trading away Mahomes for peanuts and drafting a corner?

Many, many years ago, Jimmy The Greek (a supposed expert) used to give out picks before NFL games. Seriously, he probably guessed wrong on 75% of his selections. People could have made a ton of money betting against him. I wonder if there is money to be made betting against Bradshaw and other announcers. If they know who has the best chance to win, I strongly doubt that they would share it with the public and cause the odds to perhaps change.

"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you What you thought was your daddy was nothing but a… While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen Your real daddy was dyin' Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked" Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive Hey, oh, oh-oh

That's an easy one. He would ask Marv Levy what to do, and Marv would tell him to focus on the secondary, running backs, and special teams.

As those who have seen my posts over the decades, it is well known that right or wrong, I'm not fond of allocating our best draft resources to the secondary. That said, when Jairus Byrd came to town, he lit it up! He was picking off passes one after the other. I thought, "maybe I'm wrong. This guy is great!" Well, at a tailgate at RWS, I mentioned my views on Byrd to @BADOLBILZ. He told me that Byrd was good but far from great. He said that many of his picks were caused by lucky deflections and not to expect this kind of production. I confess to being just a bit skeptical (if not slightly depressed) lol. Well, while he was never a bad player imo, he was far from great. His production rapidly fell off and my reluctance to drafting secondary early was fully restored. 👍🏈

1) Dion Dawkins 2) Spencer Brown For decades I watched our QBs get consistently beaten and bloodied while folks such as Levy and Jauron focused on running backs (with no blocking) and the secondary. The OL is the reason that Josh is able to do his job and the team wins football games. Are we sure he will make the team?

I feel it's time we should make up baby I feel it's time for us to get back together And make the best of things, oh, baby, when we're together Whether or never

No way! We need them to draft cornerbacks.

If you call I'll be right with you You and I should be together Take this love I long to give you I'll be at your side forever Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me Maybe it's late, but you call me Tell me and I'll be around

With Trubisky as QB for the entire season, the Bills would certainly draft in the top ten, if not top 5. Jmo.

Good point. All of his priors are probably b.s. as well, no?

No doubt that he needs help, but; society needs more help in getting him off the streets and into a jail cell for a long period of time. Bullets don't have maps or brains and some innocent people will be injured or killed if this violent animal is allowed to roam free.
