"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy, was nothing but a...
While you were sittin' 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

Nice work! Thanks for the effort that you had to have put into this.
PS: I truly do hope that the Jets do not get Bowers but unless someone trades ahead of them they probably will.

Heading into the draft, I feel pretty good about the Bills. The only thing lacking is a pash rush from the front 4. I am concerned Groot has had a couple seasons now and needs to step up and be a 10+ sack guy. I don't like depending so much on Von. Other than that I feel all the other positions are solid.
WR is still #1 on my list followed by DL. Safety in the 4th, along with just BPA from there on out.
Would you like to rephrase this? I'm not being snide but the sentences seem to contradict each other.

If we can't get a gamewrecker, would we say no to another 3rd or 4th round pick if Beane lets someone trade in from the back end?
Well, I disagree about WR not being a "dire need." And in terms of losing #28 for just another 3rd or 4th, I would say no way. The last thing that I want is for the Bills to get stiffed again as they did in the Mahomes pick for Tre White fiasco, and I don't trust McDermott not to repeat something this ill advised, or shall I say stupid.
Now, If a team wanted to give us a 1st and a 2nd or 3rd in 25 and a 3rd this season, I would at least consider it. What I don't want is for McDermott to make another stupid trade up to get yet another defensive player.

If you read one of my earlier posts I said the exact same thing
The NCAA is in Jeopardy of not existing in 20 years.. if this all keeps up
Agreed and less than 10 years is probably a more likely scenario.

Why the Haskins reference - never wore a Bills uni, and obviously never will now. Should have used cardale!
True, sorry.

You tell me you're lonely, I know how you feel
Leaning up at the bars, rocking back on my heels
She's a wild bird that wanders, too easy to stray
I knew she had to lose me to find her own way
Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon

I think players should have the option of transferring without consequence but it should be a one-time deal
This sounds great and I would be in favor of this, however; I am not a lawyer, but I have serious doubts about whether this would stand up in court. For instance, if I am a college student (non-athlete), am I not allowed to transfer from school to school at will? I would think so. It might slow down my obtaining a degree but as you well know, many of these student athletes don't care all that much about college degrees.
Don't get me wrong. I am an Alabama Fan and I started this thread to express my misgivings about the Proctor situation. One would think that a group called the NCAA would possess a certain amount of intelligence but this doesn't seem to be the case. The ever divided US Supreme Court actually ruled 9-0 against them fairly recently. I get the impression that soon the NCAA will not exist.

At the pro days, do you know if the teams get to meet with the players? Or is it just watch them work out?
I assume they can but I can't say for sure. Belecik was a frequent visitor to Tuscaloosa. It is hard for me to imagine Saban (his friend for about 50 years and fellow Croatian) not introducing him to players.

I chalk it up to the fact that he’s a big kid in a man’s body. He left Bama because he was homesick (apparently) and is returning to Bama because he went on spring break with some of his buddies (supposedly) and they talked him into it. Homesick. Peer pressure. Indecisive. I say with no malice, this is kid stuff. And the rules allow for this right now.
Yes but I heard Coach Ferentz say that he went off with the bulk of the NIL money that Iowa had. It is apparently legal but it does appear to be somewhat sinister.
Proctor has all the potential to be great. Tbh he looks more like a dominant RT to me but I could be wrong. As a Bama Fan I just hope the kid has his head on straight.

Does Alabama have any good WR? Serious question....
Jermaine Burton is VERY talented. He would have much better numbers with any of the previous four Alabama QBs. MUCH better. Playing with Milroe at QB makes him tougher to rate and will more than likely cost him in the draft. The only caveat is that he is said to be a bit of a head case. I think that if he has himself together he would be a very, very good target for Josh.
Jmo.

Admittedly it's a sweeping generalization. I'm aware of the hundreds of draftees from there, many have made it big. It's a factory. I'd want the hardest workers and guys who love football, from all the draft picks.
Agreed. The good Bama players do keep on coming. The Lions had Williams, Branch, and Gibbs help them get to the Super Bowl. I posted my opinion of this class about a month ago. It isn't their strongest class by any means but there are some very good players there.

Dwayne Haskins was pretty good as well. Oh wait, different school.

Bama players have been kind of dicey to me. Hugely productive at the college level, but when they come to the NFL and things don't come as easy, I don't feel like they handle it well.
Very true. Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Davonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle all pretty much suck. Oh, and I forgot who led the NFL in passing yards in 2023, and who took the Eagles to the NFC Title and the Superbowl. Those two are also very dicey.

Has there ever been an Alabama prospect that has excelled in a Bills uniform?
I heard that Cornelius Bennett was OK.
1 hour ago, TheBeaneBandit said:They have a DE and CB both considered top 20 picks....could keep an eye on them in case one slides. Just another angle of the draft madness.
They have 2 corners who will almost certainly go in round one.

Looks like a nice player to me. Appears to have played SS, General DB and FS
Has a knack for taking it to the house when he gets the ball.4 Defensive TDs in the last 4 years + Championships with TB and KC
Stats are pretty good. I like it. Maybe this will make McDermott hesitate to draft a first round safety.
Fingers crossed.

Your friends tell you

If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right -
And I'm not so sure how to feel about this.
Last season as an incoming freshman he was a 5 Star and a Top 10 overall recruit. He has unreal strength but weighed in at 360 lbs., perhaps more. He was good, but far from the best Alabama has seen in recent years (although only a freshman). Imo, he needs to lose some weight.
He transfered out when Coach Saban announced his retirement and signed with Iowa, his home state. Why he is coming back is not clear. Also, the kids in Tuscaloosa are busting their asses working out. Is he working out in Iowa? Who knows? Why should he? Can he even if he wants to?
The portal rules are now screwy. If I am correct they are allowed unlimited transfers. Also, he almost certainly got money to come to Iowa. Does he return it? How does this work?
Yeah, I just don't know how I should feel but at this point I am somewhat skeptical.

There are always people who want to throw a first round pick at any perceived position of need. Even if it's devalued. There is a very vocal minority that often suggests RB in round 1 every year so any position outside of ST only will please some people if it's a perceived immediate need.
So true. I've seen folks call for a 1st round safety. Amazing.

Then there are the rumors about Diggs being a bit of a headache - the stuff we see in the public like not showing up for OTAs and a meeting that led McDermott to say he was "very concerned"; arms raised yelling at Josh on the sideline during the Bengals playoff game; dipping out of the locker room and away from the press after two successive playoff losses; and any inside rumors there might be of stunts he's pulled behind the scenes or behavior in the locker room that's not the best.
If nothing else, a trade partner has to ask "if the Bills are willing to incur a cap hit and trade the best WR on the team, Why?"
Your paragraph above would seem to be a more than sufficent answer to the bolded question, or am I missing something?
