Yeah, I'm not sure how it helps the Bills, other than maybe making it a bit harder for KC to get home-field advantage...

And a third rounder...what an awful trade

I mean, I guess they could roll with Drew Lock this year...or maybe this becomes a Trubisky landing spot. I'm having a hard time seeing the 'Hawks giving up a lot to move up to 1 overall when there's a good chance Willis and/or Pickett will be there at 9...plus, they're already short on picks because of the insane Jamal Adams trade, so it's not like they're suddenly swimming in high draft picks. I could see them giving up one of their seconds to move up a few slots if a QB they like is there, though...

I thought Carroll was going to retire at the end of the season, but I think if he was going to call it quits he would have done so before now. He's a quirky guy, though, so who knows

Seahawks needed something like this...they weren't going anywhere without major change and now they have a chance to rebuild. This is exactly what the Texans should have done with Watson before he became radioactive. Unfortunately, the Seahawks' recent draft history is pretty awful so there's no guarantee they'll capitalize on these picks.

Wasn’t Fisher more or less a bust? I really hate the idea of drafting an O-lineman that high…if I was the Jags, I’d be doing everything possible to trade out of that spot. Garrett only worth the number 1 pick if you ignore the QBs they passed on…

It could happen. When is the last time a non-QB went first overall? 2013?

I doubt Thibodeaux hurt his draft stock…not that many 260 lb edge rushers running sub-4.6 40s. Lots of top prospects pass on parts of the combine…

Get’r done, Beane!

If you say so.

A manager “accepting responsibility” for a major mistake is a flexible, almost meaningless concept in our modern society. In Japan, it used to mean hurling yourself off the roof of the nearest skyscraper (and before that, ritually eviscerating yourself); in other societies, it means—or meant—at a minimum, resigning your position. Nowadays, it just means uttering the words “I accept responsibility”, and little else, no real consequences. McDermott “accepts responsibility” for those 13 seconds only in this latter, modern sense. Maybe that’s why people are not satisfied with his stance on this whole fiasco…

I sure once he signs his multi-million $ guaranteed contract he’ll be more motivated to stay in shape…

I mean, is there any way the Bills don't use one of their last four picks (in the 6th and 7th round) on a punter? I guess maybe if Araiza's gone before then, but what other team is going to draft him higher than that?

Yep. Davis would do zero to put us over the top against the Chiefs. Reid and Mahomes would have Davis on the sidelines, sucking oxygen after two quarters.

No. After today, someone will probably take him earlier.

He might be available at 58

Two sacks this year, and he usually comes off the field on third down…no thanks. At least not at 25.

I agree re the Bucs…But that doesn’t seem like something the Steelers would do.

Who’s going to actually give up real assets (a first rounder, plus) for him? What franchise thinks they’re “a Derek Carr away from the Super Bowl”? I can’t think of one… seems like something the Raiders leaked to generate interest…

Beane has never traded back. And he certainly isn't going to do so this year.

RG3 has a lot of promise as a play-by-play guy--he's actually really good--and I'm guessing he felt the book might hurt his career.

Duly noted…

What these insane 40 times mean is that I’m not going to stress if we don’t take a WR at 25, although I’ll still be rooting for it…there are going to be some really dynamic receivers available throughout the first three rounds…

Josh Allen just put together the two greatest seasons by a quarterback in Bills’ history and the team has nothing to show for it. Obviously, Josh has a long career ahead of him, but he might never have a better chance to win it all than he did this year…and eventually his ability to be a dual threat QB is going to fade and he won’t be quite as dynamic as he was at 25 years old. Not that he’s “on the hot seat”, but I think there’s a lot of pressure on McDermott going into the 2022 season…

It’s a good strategy…and it’s not like our defense is garbage…
