    Not earth shattering news, but Shadeur Sanders signs rookie contract.

    it’s ultimately a case of “this guy has flags for being self centered and clueless”

     

    this isn’t proof he will fail but it’s surely another data point in the wrong column if you are invested in his success.
     

    to do it twice this month is likewise a data point in the does not learn from mistakes column


    "I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them," Sanders said, via Pro Football Talk. "I made some, you know, not great choices. … I learned."

     

    But, he’s learned. This boy is 23 years-old and just learned that he shouldn’t go 101 in a 60.

    If you cut Bosa you still have to pay pretty much his full contract. He has a $12,000,000 dead cap. How does that help anything? 


    It’s a really odd contract the Bills signed here. All veteran salaries are guaranteed for that year if they are on day 1 roster. Having his 1 year contact guaranteed is basically him and agent hedging their bets that he will not be healthy enough to even be on the NFL season opening roster.

    Yeah those Super Bowl Bills were no angels but their off field transgressions didn't prevent them from playing well(except for Super Bowls, of course).   Kelly was accused of violence against women but was never charged like idiot Eric Moulds though.   He'd probably get attempted murder for what he was accused of nowadays.   Speaking of those lenient times,  I have to laugh when I see the people with Cornelius Bennett handles.   Most are or were totally unaware that he did actual time in WNY for sexual assault(forced anal sex, specifically).   


    Yeah, back then, nobody was going to touch Kelly. No matter the stories of Jill showing up to the ER. Things have changed greatly for the better. They were incredible talents, no doubt. But, if they were decent people at the time, maybe they could won one of those. But, looking at the Boys, maybe it had nothing to do with their character.

    how much does a DC make? 100k seems stiff

     


    A decent organization would make him whole again. Let the fine be taxes on an extra $100,000 made. Make the son pay that. 
     

    Edit: actually, I don’t blame the son. It was the dude who was way too casual with private contact information.

    Is there an NFL team with a weaker WR group than the Bills?

    I was high on Elijah Moore years ago, but at this point he's not offering the kind of "help" people are clamoring for. He'd be a 5th WR at best, or more likely a camp body.


    The kind of help people were clamoring for was for early round pick (which btw, would be no better than Moore at this point). Given our defense has let us down 4 years in a row, I’d say we did the right thing. As for Moore, who knows. He’s young and has spent the last 4 years on 2 of the worst run teams in the NFL. Maybe a diamond in the rough.

    If high picks don't play a lot in 1-2 years, you've kind of already failed since (except for first rounders) they're only under team control for 4 years. 

     

    I disagree, however, that drafting based on need is the proper way of building a team. It's the proper way of trying to keep a very good playoff team at the top for additional years. But it's not a good way of launching a bad team on a winning trajectory.


    I agree with this. But if you are starting at ground level, then most positions are a need. In this case, every pick will be a need and also the BPA.

    I've always answered the endless debate - do you draft the best player available or do you draft for need? - this way.

     

    Bad teams always have to draft the best player available (with a possible exception of QB).

    Good teams always have to use the draft to fill specific needs.

    We did what good teams need to do. 

     

    If you look at some hypothetical measure like "future value added" or some such unquantifiable thing, well, I guess we're in the middle of the pack. 

    If you look at some hypothetical measure like "win expectancy added over the next 4 years," I think we did pretty well, since you'll have more talented young players taking roster spots from less talented old players.


    It’s ridiculous people still think Beane drafts BPA at this point. We have years of a draft record now and it’s abundantly clear 1st/2nd day picks are based on need. The difference is, and this is where people get confused, there is usually 1-3 positional “needs” on a team. You pick the BPA within this confine. Still, need comes 1st and BPA comes 2nd. 
     

    In the past, selecting based on need was looked down upon. This was when rookies “developed” on the bench for a few years. Now, draftees are expected to start writhing 1-2 years. Drafting based on need is the proper way of building a team.

    Miami Herald: Dolphins players have turned on McDaniel

    I understand Hill, but what has Waddle or Achane done to show they are problematic?

     

    And for as much flack as I give McD, I fully believe he would be capable of keeping any/all of them in line better than McDaniel.


    This is True. Achane and Waddle have been relatively drama-less. Hill is probably the worse in the league.

    Miami is absolutely loaded, especially on offense

     

    If The Bills had Tyreek Hill and Jaylin Waddle and Achane, Josh Allen would only need to play half of each game and they would still break the scoring record 


    Josh is a great leader, but I’m not sure he’s ready for those jokers. Wouldn’t want these guys in Josh’s locker room. Probably worse than Diggs.
