Dr. Who

I think Washington makes more sense. He is a truly superior blocker and a RZ threat, so I still think he gives you some 12 personnel potential.

There are more issues with Johnston than I had initially countenanced, but I would still probably not pass on him. It would depend on who else was on the board. Addison, you definitely take if the opportunity arises. I like Downs, too.

You think he's saying the same thing about signing McGovern and Edwards and figuring Brown will have a rebound year so the oline for Allen is good now, too? That way, they are clear to grab LB, DT, and maybe Edge with the first three picks . . . Some now think Addison or Johnston might drop.

The best ones are going by the end of the second. The ones that will be left are not that special.

This is what @GunnerBill said the other day: "The concerns on Johnston are not raw production. They are about his skill set. Hands, route running and not playing to his size." For these reasons, Johnston may drop, don't know if it would be all the way to 27. Not sure how many of those concerns can be coached up, but he certainly has the talent to be a dynamic receiver. I had not been considering him because I assumed he was not a possibility.

Two wrongs don't make a right. I think they are going to overdraft MLB.

Too much TE talent in this draft. I'd be disappointed if there is a run on them in the second and the Bills miss out on the upper echelon picks and then settle on a Day 3 afterthought. Charlie Campbell is currently mocking Jahmyr Gibbs to the Bills in the first, btw. I ridiculed Mike Tannenbaum for making that selection in his mock. I wonder where all this is coming from. Very talented player, but can't see rb in the first.

Fella on this board I respect thinks he's a guard only at the NFL level, but likes him. He's one of my favorites.

I do not recollect Henry and the Clubhouse. My favorite childhood text is Alexander and the Magic Mouse but the illustrations by Phillipe Fix are what make the book special. If you search out the thread on David Edwards from last week, on page 12 @MrEpsYtown has a nice explanation of some of the offensive line players he thinks fit with Kromer's preferences and some who do not. Gunner Bill has some well argued views on various potential options though not collected in a single post.

The Danish director Gabriel Axel adapted the screenplay from a short story by Isak Dinesen. The culinary theme has metaphysical implications. Criterion has an excellent DVD.

When I suggested to John from Riverside that there was a slight chance your inquiry was a sly joke the adjectival modifier "slight" was intended as an ironically understated expression meaning "almost certainly." As I am equally certain you don't really want to know my favorite movie, I shant explain why I do not have one uniquely singular choice though I often list To Have and Have Not, Babette's Feast, Wild Strawberries, The Black Stallion, and Kieslowski's Blue from his colors trilogy as films I admire.

There's a slight chance that 4merper4mer's question was only intended as a sly joke since we've been having a conversation in a different thread about how the subject of threads often wanders into something off-topic.

Mid-Feb it was being reported that he would not. I have a PhD in literature, so I am not the kind of doctor who could have an informed opinion, nor do I know how much to trust the reports that have suggested the injury will heal without surgery. I have been presuming he won't need it.

Wouldn't mind both, but highly doubtful both the first and second round pick are dedicated to the offensive side of the ball. I say build a fortress around Josh Allen.

I take thread titles to be indicative of the central theme with the likelihood that numerous extraneous conversations will intrude. When something really happens or is rumored to be happening, the collective will focus. Otherwise, they are going to wander.

You're going to trigger @4merper4mer. There's nothing going on with Hopkins. Probably nothing will happen. It's the nature of discursive conversation to ramble into side paths and down various annoying rabbit holes. It's the human way. If you want linear, logical, single-minded univocal consistency, try a different species.

I'm rooting for Van Denmark. I want to see his name on the back of a Bills' jersey. It's got to be intimidating when a whole country is protecting your qb. He's an OT. If he was a guard he'd have to be Van Switzerland.

He's the best OT option with a chance to be there at 27. The ones who are better are definitely not going to be there. If Wright is drafted and wins the job, Brown becomes the swing tackle.

Ironically given the title of this rather redundant thread, I think they go for Trenton Simpson.

Mahomes misses throws all the time. Folks don't remark upon it when your team ultimately wins. I do agree that Allen needs to take the small stuff. He did that impressively in the perfect game against the Pats* and was playing as well as a qb can play in the 13 seconds fiasco. What happened after that? Daboll left for the Giants' job. Dorsey was hired to maintain continuity, but inevitably, there were significant differences. Dorsey may grow into a top OC. He's not there yet. Dorsey does not blend the running game and the passing offense into a cohesive attack. The calls are too random, the RZ offense is very predictable, and Dorsey does not sufficiently make use of pass catching rbs or Knox in general. However much that was dictated by Allen's injury and a bad oline, I don't know, but he needs to improve. Josh Allen does also need to make the whole field dangerous by utilizing short passes and targeting Knox more often when he is open. Allen is not elusive in the way that Mahomes is elusive. Mahomes is like a snake, slippery and annoying. Allen is a bull with surprising speed and athleticism.

Even then, Mahomes has a superior oline and Andy Reid. And the Chiefs do get timely calls. They are now that team the way it used to be the Pats*. This is a combination of favored status as a marquee franchise with a superlative qb and coach and zebra incompetency. Allen is asked to play superhuman for the Bills to win and as the stakes are ratcheted up, the weight of that ask increases exponentially. I don't grant your premise. Bills have a porous oline, Ken Dorsey on a learning curve and unproven, along with a defensive-minded coaching staff that routinely falls flat in the postseason synchronous with an era where the league is set up for offense to win championships.

In my honest opinion, everything makes more sense after a pint of Guinness.

Identity is not determined by likeness of sound. (Don't ponder that too strongly. I've no idea what I mean.)

That is certainly taking political correctness to a new level.
