whatdrought Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I love it. Edmunds was my guy from day one and I never dreamed we'd get our QB and him. Great draft. I understand some dislike Allen, but the reality is this: We got our QB without giving up next years picks. If these guys turn out to be studs (which both are capable of) this will go down as one of the best drafts in the history of the NFL. I would rather spend 2 weeks in the building before the draft then stand on the sideline of a Bills Superbowl. Call me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never NEVER Give-up Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I love articles like this - the strategy, the thinking, the conversations and maneuvering. I could read them all day - they are perfect for this dead period of the year when there are no real sports to watch. (I no longer care about baseball.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I give LaContorta a lot of (well deserved) crap for some of his "scoops" but this was a fine article and good read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me crazy. Oh put me there too. Obviously I'd rather the Bills win a Superbowl but if you said I could be on the sideline for that or in the draft room for the moments that built that team it is a no brainer for me. Draft room every time. I was a bit late on Edmunds. I didn't think his 2016 tape was that impressive. I think there is so much growth on his 2017 tape. He went from 2nd rounder to top 10 player for me. Big jump. Think he is going to make a huge difference to this D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capco Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Quite a few typos, but a great read nonetheless. I can't remember when I was this excited about our draft turning into something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
