Nice, enjoy the movie!  My friend saw an early screening of it as his wife worked on it and he said it was awesome.

I'm glad Sweat is not on the radar. Wish him the best with his health and career, but I wanted nothing to do with him on Buffalo. 

 

But I DO want someone to love him in the top 8!

 I'm likely going to miss the pick live too.  O have the DVR set.  When they moved to Thursday night for the draft it really screwed things up for me.

My take is they think all Dlinemen or rotational.  They want 2 deep at every position

In McDermott’s case he does like to rotate. I don’t think it precludes them from taking a 3tech to replace Kyle high, but to use multiple picks to do so probably not.

The Raiders took Hurst last year in the 5th. If Sweat is there in the 4th, I’d take a chance. 

My guess is that Sweat is off of their board and it’s not solely due to the Medical. The comment about him being late reminds me of these comments from Beane a few years ago



This isn’t always a simple X’s and O’s session, either. Scouts are paying attention to everything when they ask a player to set up a private meeting or workout. Beane recalled an email this week from an assistant coach on one of his players who wasn’t on time for a private workout.

“The guy was late twice with a coach at another school ready to meet with him,” Beane said. “I already had some questions on his dedication and love for the game. We’ll talk about it when we get back (for draft meetings), but right now, he’s off my board. He’s a pretty good player. I’m not into that.”

Beane doesn’t want to be on the hook for a player who can’t be counted on.

“Shame on me for bringing a guy in here and he’s late for stuff and I knew it,” Beane said. “There’s been some traces of it, and this is more confirmation. That’s all part of it.”

As a day 1 or 2 pick, I’d maybe balk.  IMHO he’d be a good gamble in the 4th.

Last time i started a thread with insider info it was dead on, i know someone who works for the Bills and this is some info he gave me. he is currently in the war room i cant attach the screenshot for some reason keeps saying its too big  no matter what i do so im just gonna type what he said: 

 

They like Oliver, but Beane will not move up for a rotational DL. 

 

Sweat has a 100% medical “F” grade. 

 

 

“He heart condition is mild, but high-risk. Could play whole career with no problems or it could progress and he's not be able to play anymore in the future.  Hard to predict. He was late to two team meetings as well”.  

 

Nothing earth shattering but interesting nonetheless. 

I figured the new medical news on Sweat was bogus.That Dr. In Houston got paid off...by his agent.

i heard on NFL net that his heart was fine and it was a misdiagnosis.

LOL you post a lot and have lots of opinions and thoughts...

 

Ha...all good, thought you mean like mad scientist on trades lol.

 

Personally, I think Jonah Williams will be the pick if we stay at 9 right now.  I also think its still possible to trade down, and all the rumors last couple hours could be a trade up.  I think the only 2 guys they would go up for are Quennin or Allen personally, but who knows.  

 

I remain skeptical on the trade up given the expense though, but certainly wouldn't surprise me.  I just hope if we trade up we do it and still keep our 2nd round pick this year as its going to net a good player too.  

 

This should be an interesting draft with so much uncertainty though.  I have changed my mind 100 times on how I think the top 5 is going to fall and what Bills will do.  I am still changing my mind now.  As I sit here, I am starting to question Murray going to AZ.  Part of me thinks they are going to take Quennin Williams or Bosa with the latter going to SF.  

 

Jets want to trade down, and may get their wish if Murray falls to 3 and could get a bounty from crazy Dan Snyder.  Raiders are such a crap shoot that while they SHOULD take Josh Allen (if first 3 picks are some combo of Murray, Bosa and Quennin) it wouldn't surprise me to see them do something really off the radar and take Hockenson, Josh Jacobs, or one of the other QB's.  Thats how little I think of the Raiders organization right now that its plausible they could pass on Josh Allen and do something like that.  

 

Its just one of those drafts that could go as expected early or really go off the rails.  Cant wait!  One more HOUR!

LOL "not like an idiot or crazy ass guy"

 

I am all over the place. Part of me wants the trade up like a "Biscuit" type move. We have tons of cap space and need elite players for the role players we can sign in FA. If they go for it, I will support it. They haven't proven to be idiots yet. I am okay at #9, trading down is a bit meh for me, but I get it if we do. I just feel like finding and going after elite talent is what we should be doing right now.

 

I can see us doing anything. I'm so glad we aren't the 'Skins and I will say the Raiders for right now, Mayock does well with the draft, now Gruden - he is a wild card.

Im not as enthused about a trade up that also costs us our 2nd this year...ESPECIALLY if it includes our first next year which is supposed to be loaded at the offensive skill positions.

 

But, I do know one thing...I fully believe in and support McD and Beane.  So I wont be pissed if they made some big move up.  I think I still prefer trading back a few spots and getting an extra 2nd then taking someone like Simmons, Wilkins, Hockenson, DK, etc.

A rotational DLineman has a 3rd round grade... not top 10

they rotate all their d lineman .

Same boat. Had a work event thrown on my lap last minute ... starts at 6, so I will just miss the pick unless we move up to 3.

I think a high impact guy who comes out on short yardage is worth a 9- also i believe in a McDermott D all lineman are basically rotational

They might like Oliver but they LOVE Q Williams , this is coming from someone at One Bills Drive .. Just don't like starting these type of threads cause ppl tend to get crazy lol. 

If they can get him for a reasonable swap , they are going after him. Feel he's a generational talent , fits scheme and the process!

Just have someone take a pic with their phone of the pic of the pic you got from your insider and then post that pic from the other phone.  case closed and then instant credibility. 

But then you have to snap the phone in half... like Breaking Bad with the burner phones.
