  1. That's a little too much recency bias.
  2. Then again, you are a Stooge.
  3. He's already been told about five times.
  4. It is pretty damn eclectic.
  5. Chad Hall is now coaching for the Jaguars.
  6. Two more picks in the sixth as of now.
  7. Big Wr. We visited him predraft, were said to have interest.
  8. Bears just took him.
  9. So for sure never enjoy a honeymoon phase. Let's just cut to the disillusionment. What a way to live.
  10. You're preaching to the choir here.
  11. True, human nature is annoying. And folks are defensive about players they like.
  12. Character issues. @GunnerBill thinks he's going to bust big time. I would take Duncan. Antonio Johnson wouldn't shock me. This regime covets and knows dbs.
  13. I like Tyler Scott, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaelyn Duncan. Pretty surprised Antonio Johnson is still on the board. Jaquelin Roy a DT to think about.
  14. I live near Athens. I'm not sure I see a problem with that . . .
  15. He is allegedly off a lot of teams' boards because of character issues and he is a sloppy big guy. I would take a chance on him with the sixth round pick.
  16. I think they are projecting Harty as a more useful player. Despite his size, I think you will see him lined up on the outside. Kincaid is going to line up as a big slot much of the time and Shakir will get snaps at slot. I don't see Harty as a starting slot who gets the majority of snaps there.
  17. But this isn't a court of law with a criteria of proof that is necessarily higher if it is determining the fate of individuals. I'm interested in literature and history. If you take a figure like Thucydides, he creates histories with plausible speeches he couldn't possibly have verbatim notes to. He based his work on a reading of human nature and the particular characters of individual figures. I think you have a predisposition to mistrust Beane. I don't really dislike Jerry Jones, but I am more inclined to believe he would lie to save face and I also believe the Cowboys wanted Kincaid. It's also true that Kincaid was my favorite player in the draft and I am very happy the Bills traded up to secure him. If I was a GM and I thought a team might take him ahead of me and he had fallen within trade up range, I make the trade to secure the player. And I personally wouldn't mind embellishing a tale to explain the move, but I don't think Beane is that kind of fella.
  18. You are dug in on your interpretation, partly because it confirms a particular view of Beane. I think mine is more plausible, but this is not the sort of issue that resolves ordinarily. Folks aren't argued out of fundamental convictions. Paradigm shifts require something more. You're welcome to your views, of course. I just disagree with them. (And it should go without saying, but in the big picture this an utterly trivial matter.)
  19. I'm going to hope he falls to 137 then. Thanks.
  20. Can't decide between the laughing and angry emoji.
  21. He's a project, but I've had my eye on Bryce Ford-Wheaton. Maybe you could get him in the sixth? I'm surprised they haven't taken a DT. They must really like Williams. I would have gone for Ika. If you add Hopkins to the Bills that's a crazy talented set of weapons.
  22. Maybe Hopkins is still in play. There are a few left in the draft they might be interested in. I don't think Tyler Scott makes it through the fourth. Maybe Xavier Hutchinson at 137. They liked Justin Shorter. He's a late pick or priority UDFA.
  23. Wanted Mapu as well.
  24. I have no problem with a late 2nd for a guard only. We need IOL help. My concern was scheme fit, but there appears to be a rationale that explains it. I would not have been happy with this pick at 27. (Charlie Campbell mocked him to us.) It's a solid pick at 59.
