obviously hindsight is 20/20 but passing on a QB last year let to this avalanche of blowing draft picks. If they had just taken Watson or Mahomes last year, they wouldn't have gotten Tre and an extra 1, but they would have their starting QB this year. The trade up for Dawkins didn't costs much, 2 5th's The trade up for Zay cost a 3rd to move 7 spots. That could have been starting quality player. JuJu went #62... So fast forward to this year. Say the Bills still do the Glenn trade, they have pick 12. They take Edmunds there. This allows them to keep 53, 56 and 65. That could have been 3 more big time impact players. They botched that pile of picks so badly...

they have 10 picks next year. but all the extra picks are 3rd day, so unlikely any of them contribute right away. the depth of picks they did amass were all spent in draft day trade ups. They gave away picks for Dawkins, Zay, Allen and Edmunds. They gave up a 3rd to move up for Zay and traded another 3rd for Benjamin. Both moves look awful. They gave away 2 2's and a 3 (and Cordy Glenn) for Allen and Edmunds. Not saying it wasn't worth it but that's a lot of depth they've given away. When will this team finally get lucky and hit on some mid/late round/UDFA's? It feels like every team does...except us.

Who was the executive? Was it amomimus?

I think picking against the Bills is going to be very chic the 1st 8 weeks or so...

I did OK

Because the Lions are the type of team who lose games like that.

I think the Ravens are pretty awful. Sadly, I think we're going to be dreadful.

i took the Ravens...

Because finding a 3rd string QB this time of year is much easier than a starting caliber OL

that's where I'm at on this. Maybe they're bracing for 1 or both QB's to get hurt at some point behind this line.

Joe B had been calling it for awhile... but he is gone

I see what you did there

considering he missed all of last season....i think you may be onto something!

imagine being the type of person who cares about this crap. she's running a 5th rate reality show via her Instagram and Twitter. I wish people wouldn't indulge it. Just enjoy her posting semi-nudes while she begs the world to love her personality

always awesome to read about the mindset during the draft. If these guys are what Beane thinks they can be, we will be set

nobody said that. nobody has ever said that. it's a BS thing that people made up that because these guys are exercising their 1A rights, that they're ungrateful, whiny, and consider themselves oppressed.

Daymond John is a very successful man. Why is he more respected by certain people for how he made his money than athletes and how they're earning theirs?

I wasn't trying to be subtle, so congrats for figuring it out. Simple fact, the owners (and the league) think they should be able to control all aspects of the players lives. The players want to use their platform to advance what they believe to be an important social message. This is a message their bosses don't agree with. It's become a political issue because part of this country thinks you should be able to tell them to "shut up and play" and another part thinks you shouldn't.

Because the billionaire overlords don't want the players message to be spread

It's funny how the right wants us to kiss the rings of the old, white rich and be thankful for everything they give us. But when the rich are young black men, they're unappreciative of what is given to THEM. The owners control the purse strings, but the players are the product. Their elite skills fill stadiums, not the business acumen of Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft.

You're missing the point. If everybody did it, nobody would be punished. You really think the owner would forfeit to make a point?

Stirs the pot.

Cool. Can't wait to see the entire team do it and shove it up the owners ass.

I'm going to subscribe. FWIW, I love Tim Graham. I have a feeling if he spent his Twitter time pwning libs, he'd be more popular locally.

Nickel's BBQ would be good, but they don't do lunch during the week. Rooster Fish would be a good option. Village Marina is nice and on the water.
