Dr. Who

The comment I responded to talked about HC and QB, so I indicated we don't know what kind of head coach McDermott will be.

Analysis is right on target. You resign your A players and C players. The Bs go elsewhere. Too early to say what we have in McDermott. Pretty sure we don't have an elite qb.

I read, but cannot recollect the source, that the Bills and another team (Jets?) were interested in Glennon, but when the salary went beyond 8 to 10 million per year, they dropped out. I think it's clear OBD valued Taylor at a reduced price only, whether one calls that surmise or fact.

So, now the snarky and mean-spirited thread asking whether any team had even contacted EJ about a try-out can be replaced with snarky and mean-spirited comments about how every team needs a camp arm.

Sheltered and game manager are not mutually exclusive. I agree Wentz struggled latter half of the season. Eagles picked up some nice FA WRs. We'll see.

I was in favor of a late flier on the kid, but the maturity issues are really concerning. He doesn't seem Jim Kelly brash and a little rough around the edges. He seems Johnny Manziel entitled stupid who still doesn't get it.

Those damn Russians.

I think he would be a good signing. Unfortunately, this snafu has given competing teams a target to beat. Makes me feel he is less likely to sign with us now, but perhaps I am excessively pessimistic.

I am okay with Mike Williams at #10. The folks who say he is a player who "sucks" are engaged in hyperbole or not serious people. I prefer Watson or Mahomes and Zay Jones in the second. Ideally, trade back, pick a qb later in the first, draft wr and best db available with second round picks. That may not be possible and in any event, is unlikely to happen. Imo, Taylor's revised contract is a perfect bridge qb contract, but it only becomes so if your developmental qb is on the team. Most likely, that is not C. Jones.

Thanks for the link. That's encouraging.

Well, if you're a Buffalo sports' fan, you are forced to learn patience. I'm okay waiting.

John C, Snafu, Ricojes: Thanks for the good hockey talk and insight. I live in Atlanta where they put hockey below the WNBA. I am really looking forward to some young blood on the blue line. As far as top six, I was hoping Nylander would be ready for next year, but I heard he has been a disappointment so far.

We are due for a Mike Williams to work out for us.

Given the parameters of the question, I would choose Adams. He won't be there at #10. In several threads, I have posted my preference to trade down and get an extra second. I personally think Mahomes has potential to become a franchise qb. Unlike most of the other fellas who like him, I also think Watson is a good qb prospect, his arm velocity test notwithstanding. I'd like to get one of these qbs. I would go after Zay Jones and best db with the other early picks.

I'd be shocked if Adams, Hooker, and Lattimore aren't gone before #10. Foster might be there. I prefer Mike Williams, but WR is a good possibility, imo. I'm one of those who thinks qb need trumps all the other needs, of which we have many. I'd like to trade back and pick up an extra second. Find a way to draft Mahomes or Watson. Doubt any of that happens, however. Bills are picking #44 in the second round, btw.

Ah, so you're saying he's Tyrod on D?

His production tailed off the second half of the season and some folks think he started playing soft and thinking about staying healthy for his next contract. A lot of surmise.

This is right on target. I hope OBD gets it. But they probably don't.

I am a melancholic introvert. I have always felt an ontological fit between depression and being a Bills' fan.

I think there's a decent chance Lattimore is gone before 10; Adams and Hooker as well. If that happens, I suspect they go WR or Howard at 10. Personally, I would try to trade back and pick up an extra second. I would take Watson or Mahomes, then WR and best db or wlb in the second.

I like Watson or Mahomes if they can get a late first pick or use the second on qb. If not, I'd take a flier on Chad Kelly if Jim vouches for the fella.

I keep hearing very different things about Mahomes. I like him enough I'd be happy if we take a shot.

McDermott knows the fella. The bellyaching is excessive on this one.

Don't they give you 4 pts for making an X where your name is supposed to be? Nah, you gotta pay big money for that.

I think Watson can play in the NFL. If this drops him to our pick in the second round, I would be very pleased.
