  1. I've been on the Cole Bishop bandwagon for a while now.....he strikes me as a real "McBeane-type" player. When he ran a 4.45 40 at the combine, that solidified him as the perfect 2nd round pick for the Bills. Getting Thomas and Bishop would be a real win in my eyes for the Bills.
  2. Not familiar with Dane Bruglers, but those have been my first two picks in most of the mocks that I have done.👍
  3. How about Marshawn Lynch?? Of course, his failures in Buffalo were more off the field....but I think that counts.
  4. Great Finale!! I was worried as the last two episodes before the finale were weak, but this was great! I don't want to spoiler it if you haven't seen it yet, but this is how Seinfeld should have ended......as the title of the finale says: No Lessons Learned!!!
  5. Mt. Rushmore isn't even on the Mt. Rushmore of stone-based artistic carvings!!
  6. Moved up in the 1st and up into the 3rd.....what a great first three picks this would be: 23. Brian Thomas Jr. WR LSU 60. Trey Benson RB Florida State 79. Cole Bishop S Utah
  7. My trade up/downs netted me a 2nd from SF and a 4th from AZ next year, but cost me a 3rd next year: 31. Adonai Mitchell WR Texas 66. Cole Bishop S Utah 83. Marshawn Kneeland EDGE Western Michigan 133. Jordan Jefferson DT LSU
  8. Well, they could convert 50-66% of this years base salary to a signing bonus before trading him to the Bills with the incentive of a higher draft pick from the Bills in return. That's what I meant by Seattle "eating" some of his contract......not at all sure if that is allowed or if Seattle would be willing to do it.
  9. No offense, but you throw a lot of scenarios out there it's hard to keep up!!😋
  10. I was thinking the conditional pick would hinge on whether he signed long term or not, and the fact that Seattle would eat some of the contract to fit him under the salary cap this year.
  11. I believe he has 2 years and 35 million left on his current contract......if Seattle eats some of that contract in the way the Bills did with Diggs, could a trade for Metcalf be possible? How about a 2nd and 4th this year plus a conditional 2nd that could become a 1st next year for Metcalf and Seattle's 3rd rounder this year. This would still leave the Bills with the ability to draft a WR at 28.....they could go with a smaller speed-type receiver like Xavier Worthy to compliment Metcalf at WR2. An offense of Metcalf, Worthy, Samuel, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox, and Cook would surpass anything any other AFC offense could put on the field!! Lets go, Beane!!
  12. Didn't the Bills move from 23 to 12 for Cordy Glenn?? You would think they could have moved from 28 to 17 for Diggs! Oh well, doesn't matter at this point anyway.
  13. Too bad the Texans had already traded pick 17 to the Vikings....would have been a better trade with a 1st round pick swap. Diggs and 28 to the Texans for pick 17. That would have also made it a lot easier to get Thomas Jr., or trade up into the top 10 for one of the big 3 WRs.
  14. Whichever receiver the Bills draft in round 1 has the inside track on OROY. 🏆
  15. It's now officially April 2nd, so all the goofy threads with lame April Fools Day jokes can come to an end!! Here are a few actually funny April Fools pranks in sports history: Babe Ruth Turns Jockey (April Fool's Day - 1930) "WILLACOOCHE, Ga., April 1. — Babe Ruth, the big Bambino of the Yanks, revealed here today that he has lost so much weight by intensive spring training that he has been forced to give up his career as a baseball player and become a jockey. Ruth, who formerly could cover more ground than any outfielder in the American League—also while sitting down—now tips the beam at a mere 108 pounds. If he fails as a jockey, he may seek the flyweight boxing championship." [Miami News-Record - Apr 1, 1930] Left-Handed Golf Ball (April Fool's Day - 2005) Sports manufacturer Dunlop announced plans to offer a golf ball designed specifically for left-handed players. Dunlop CEO Chris Ronnie explained: The idea came from a research project we undertook to better understand today’s golfing market. The results showed that many naturally left-handed players have learnt to play golf right-handed. Up until only a decade ago it had been difficult to get hold of left-handed golf equipment." Left-handed golf clubs are now commonplace, but no company has yet produced a left-handed golf ball. Dunlop’s revolutionary move is set to hit the shelves next month, just in time for The Daily Telegraph Dunlop Masters, which tees off on May 12 at the Marriott Forest of Arden and may see the first professional golfer trial the Dunlop Lefty. Many golfers mark their ball with an ink image or even a printed logo to help them focus on the ball at the position of address. The Dunlop Lefty will assist left-handed golfers with a strategically placed, ergonomically designed Dunlop arrow, which points from the left-hand side of the ball to the right, thus indicating the correct position of ball focus for the player. Mark Cuban Attacks Referee but that was April Fools Prank Sidd Finch In its April 1, 1985 edition, Sports Illustrated published an article by George Plimpton that described an incredible rookie baseball player who was training at the Mets camp in St. Petersburg, Florida. The player was named Sidd Finch (Sidd being short for Siddhartha, the Indian mystic in Hermann Hesse's book of the same name). He could reportedly pitch a baseball at 168 mph with pinpoint accuracy. The fastest previous recorded speed for a pitch was 103 mph. Finch, Plimpton reported, had never played baseball before. He had been raised in an English orphanage before he was adopted by the archaeologist Francis Whyte-Finch who was later killed in an airplane crash in the Dhaulaglri mountain region of Nepal. Finch briefly attended Harvard before he headed to Tibet where he learned the teachings of the "great poet-saint Lama Milaraspa" and mastered "siddhi, namely the yogic mastery of mind-body." Through his Tibetan mind-body mastery, Finch had "learned the art of the pitch." Finch showed up at the Mets camp in Florida, and so impressed their manager that he was invited to attend training camp. When pitching he looked, in the words of the catcher, "like a pretzel gone loony." Finch frequently wore a hiking boot on his right foot while pitching, his other foot being bare. His speed and power were so great that the catcher would only hear a small sound, "a little pft, pft-boom," before the ball would land in his glove, knocking him two or three feet back. One of the players declared that it was not "humanly possible" to hit Finch's pitches. Unfortunately for the Mets, Finch had not yet decided whether to commit himself to a career as a baseball player, or to pursue a career as a French Horn player. He told the Mets management that he would let them know his decision on April 1. Sports Illustrated received almost 2000 letters in response to the article, and it became one of their most famous stories ever. On April 8 they declared that Finch had held a press conference in which he said that he had lost the accuracy needed to throw his fastball and would therefore not be pursuing a career with the Mets. On April 15 they admitted that the story was a hoax. George Plimpton actually left an obscure hint that the story was a hoax within the article itself (the non-obscure hint being that the story was absurd). The sub-heading of the article read: "He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga —and his future in baseball." The first letter of each of these words, taken together, spells "H-a-p-p-y A-p-r-i-l F-o-o-l-s D-a-y."

  17. I always make sure to watch a Pitt game or two during the College season just to check out their secondary, because I know the Bills have a history of drafting them👍
  18. I can see scenarios where the Bills could either trade up or trade down in the 1st and 2nd round, however this question is regarding trade ups. IMO, I think it is a no-brainer that the Bills will try to trade up in the 2nd round....they have enough draft capital to facilitate moving up, and the value at pick 60 does not coincide with the positions the Bills will likely want to fill in the draft. I predict a move up of 10-15 spots in the 2nd to either snag a WR if they go Defense at 28, or to grab a difference-maker on Defense if they get their WR in round one. What do you think??
  19. Well, they started Torrence from the first day of camp, so let's hope they are able to go that route with the WR they draft
  20. Just read that Bishop ran a 4.45 40 at the combine! I personally really hope he is the pick at 60 in the 2nd round. Hopefully, the Bills will get their "X" receiver in round 1(Thomas Jr., Mitchell), then zero in on a Safety in round 2. My only question on Bishop was if he had NFL level speed....4.45 speed for a 200+ pound Safety answers that question for me! Get it done, McBeane!!
