  1. Maybe not the biggest after the Jax/Cle trade or Grant at 13 or Dallas drafting a guard or etc., etc., etc., but I was surprised Philadelphia gave up a 6th to move up ONE spot for the Alabama LB.  It only makes sense (to me) if Philly was absolutely salivating over the LB and was sure KC would take him without the trade.  Like the Bills, 10 rookies or however many picks Philly had are not going to make the team anyway so burning a 6th is probably not a big deal, but still . . . to move up ONE spot?

    It feels like something big is coming. 

    This is what I've been thinking but without a lot of confidence.  I believe Beane will take a shot on Garrett but (1) there's a lot of competition for him, (2) Cleveland should want him as far away as possible (= NFC) if they do decide to trade him, and (3) I don't think Beane will be as hellbent bat sh*t crazy to do a deal no matter what as some other GM(s) might be.  Maybe Metcalf?

    Well he already knows the offense and still wanted to play, and bills didn’t want him back. In shortened offseason probably the only place that fit.  Could see him getting bumped from the 53 though. 

     

    True.  And throw in there that for some reason Gase doesn't like Bell.

     

    I am NOT saying Gore replaces Bell.  I'm saying Gase will like having him around unless and until Frank's skill set forces him to do something else.

    I think Cam Newton ends up in NE some time before September.

     

    I see your logic, but here's my problem:  for years (with Brady) the NE offense was based on quick reads and getting the ball out on seams and curls and other short-to-intermediate stuff, with just the occasional long pass.  It also exploited mismatches at TE with Gronk, which didn't happen in '19 so the NE offense scratched around for points more than it was used to while its D (which has lost some people from '19) controlled the game.  I don't know if Cam can play that kind of O, especially without a normal offseason.  And it may be even worse if they redesign the O to fit him without a normal offseason.

     

    Now I'll just stand back while other people tell me how wrong I am.

    What a shame.  His father was a true professional and had class!  Now look what the son did to the family name after all the hard work his father did. 

     

    Are you sure you're not thinking of Will (and Sean) McDonough?  Will McDonough was a classy reporter for both The Boston Globe and NBC and I don't recall Sean ever badmouthing the Bills.

     

    Shaughnessy is primarily a baseball writer who is pandering to his local base here when he has nothing else to write about.  I wonder how many Bills (or Jets or Dolphins) games he's even watched.

  6. Living here in the Garden State I got to see a lot of Chad Pennington, who was actually a first round draft choice (Ok, by the Jets, but still ...).  He had very limited athletic ability, an unimpressive arm, and maybe college stats inflated by playing with Randy Moss -- a big advantage in comparing him to Fromm.  But Pennington really knew how to play the game of football and the position of quarterback and he made his team win because he was so good from the neck up.  I keep thinking -- hoping? -- that's Fromm's story.

    Fromm is currently the 4th QB on the depth chart.  He's got to work his way up the ladder.  He's got the advantage though because he hasn't proven himself to be, at best, a backup QB like Barkley and Webb have, plus he's cheap. 

     

    And here I thought drafting Fromm meant the Davis Webb era is over.

     

    The only question in my mind here -- seriously -- is whether they'll put Fromm on the roster or chance waiving him to the PS.  Webb is a non-factor and Barkley is on the last year of his contract, so Fromm was drafted to fill the luxury position of backup QB for the longer term, not 2020.  They like saving the roster space by carrying only 2 QB's and I think they'll carry two kickers with Bass handling KO's.  They also like DL's and WR's in numbers.  So there will be some tough decisions coming this year.

     

    And I wouldn't be surprised if Fromm spent '20 on IR either.  Just sayin'.

    It's also noticeable how much of a rainbow effect his kicks have, I'd say they'll be very difficult to block.

     

    Sky isn't falling is my point, looks like we got a good one. 

     

    I hope you're right (on Draft Day I want to drink the Kool-Aid) but I worry about rainbow kickers at New Era.  Bills kickers have to blast line drives to cut through the wind.  Arcing kicks allow for more play from the wind.
