  1. 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!!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Whichever receiver the Bills draft in round 1 has the inside track on OROY. 🏆
  5. 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."

  7. 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👍
  8. 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??
  9. 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
  10. That's funny, because we all knew it was tarnished when it was actually happening.
  11. 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!!
  12. This should be the plan heading into the draft, IMO.
  13. In the NFL trades aren't about talent, they are about leverage.....and KC had none. As said earlier, they needed to get under the salary cap to sign their draft picks next month. Bad for KC, good for the rest of the AFC.
  14. Moved up using this year's 4th and next year's 3rd: 23. Brian Thomas Jr WR LSU 60. Cole Bishop S Utah I think both of these guys would start and shine immediately.....just like Kincaid and Torrence last year!
  15. Yeah, he usually goes in the 45-50 range, but not this time
  16. A draft that might make the board explode.....traded 28 and 144 for 35 and 66: 35. Darius Robinson Edge Missouri 60. T'Vondre Sweat DT Texas 66. Tyler Nubin S Minnesota (don't believe Nubin will be available at 66, but he was in this mock....more likely Cole Bishop S Utah)
  17. That's a big man!! Looks like he would be a solid addition to the Bills DT rotation.
  18. Living in Florida, the Fins were always my most hated team, however, when the Pats were good, my Fins hate cooled. Sort of an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” vibe. In the last few years, though, my Dolphins hate has returned as strong as ever!!
  19. Better than Casey Onehill.....not as good as Casey Threehill.
  20. Thats what he means....the supply far outweighs the demand at the Safety position, therefore guys the Bills thought were out of their price range now may be available at a lower cost.
  21. Lets hope the Taron Johnson extension frees up the money to sign Simmons!!
  22. Ha.....that’s like when people say ATM machine!!😁
