Snide contempt for nearly all one's interlocutors is unlikely to promote civility and good discussion. Probably that isn't covered in statistics.

I agree with this. I'd love to get Oliver at nine and trade up to grab Hockenson if he falls far enough in the first. I'm not passing on elite DL for very good TE though.

Bosa will be long gone by nine; Oliver might be there. Not sure what your point is with regards to Bills' draft. Edit: Saw in another thread you are proposing getting Bosa, Hockenson, Isabella and Sills no matter what the cost. So, you are trading high picks from this and next yrs draft and probably players and it likely still isn't feasible. Personally, I think they run to the podium for Oliver if he's there at nine.

Let's see, I wallowed in despondency and certitude the lottery would never be kind to the Sabres. As a result, I didn't watch the proceedings and was greatly surprised and briefly euphoric when I discovered Dahlin was destined for blue and gold. So, I've got the wallowing in despondency down pat. Easy enough not to watch. You fellas let me know if it works.

White if you go D, Metcalf if you get Allen a weapon.

So Tier, so bitter. Personally, I don't pass on Ed Oliver if he is available at nine. If Devin White falls, I'd take him as well. Inigo is a good poster and puts thought into his efforts, but if you go offense at nine, take a shot on Metcalf.

So, BADOLBILZ is an NFL exec. Good to know.

I've changed my mind a bit on DK. After the combine, I was thinking too much of a risk and I didn't like poor performance on 3-cone drill and quickness tests, etc. I've come back round to thinking if Q Williams doesn't fall within striking range and Ed Oliver is gone, I take my shot with Metcalf. Some may say if you're going offensive playmaker at nine, why not Hockenson? I think a transcendent WR moves the needle more than a very good TE. If Metcalf can be the next Moss, Josh Allen is going to throw him a lot of TDs. All that said, N'keal Harry in the second is a safer WR pick.

I prefer Hockenson to Fant, but I think Hockenson goes too early for a feasible trade up. There is a chance, however, as some have speculated, that Fant goes before him.

What's funny is the OP as a response to a particular thread. It's well aimed imo.

I like current Bills, love the old standing buffalo. Classic Jets is a good uni, so no need to change and certainly not for this.

Fant at nine seems like a huge outlier. I am interested in Fant if you are trading up into the back of the first to get him. I don't see how you pass on the DL talent likely to be available at the top of the draft.

Yeah, they purchased another forward lateral.

Generally agree, though I think rb is in play day two or early three as well.

Does this mean Oliver is our target? You and Beane are both on a roll.

Honestly, I was just thinking about that last night. You could do a lot worse imo.

Juvenile and garish. Wouldn't wear it if it were free.

Sweat and Gary are the fellas I have the most skepticism towards.

Yeah, let's call him.

Sunday morning I'm usually pretty sleepy myself. I have a friend who is an Orthodox priest. I wonder if he'd do an exorcism to get rid of a ghost?

Guess you missed the sarcasm. I called the other fella out for condescending aplomb. Then I was sketching out his dismissal of those who disagree with him.

Yes, but he is lost with condescending aplomb, so there's that. Meanwhile, you are ignorant, don't know statistics, and don't realize Allen is epically challenged on basic skills and has little chance of even being an average qb.

One draft is not enough to establish a pattern, of course, but Beane was proactive in last yrs draft, so I expect if there are blue chip players he covets, he will move around to get a player. Maybe a trade ends up involving a combination of players and picks. He could move back and then trade back up, but if they really like a top five player, that strategy is out. I simply don't think he's going to sit and let the draft come to him in the first three rounds.
