No f'n way. I would be done with the NFL except playoff games. Pretty much am done with them anyway except Bills games and the playoffs which, unfortunately, are mutually exclusive these days. And you've been wrong a million times, I guess. The only chance we have is a local multi-billionaire buying the team to go with his locally owned hockey team who really doesn't care how much money he spends on the team or the facilities because, you know, drill more wells or something. Oh, yeah, that already happened.

"This is like Trump telling Sean Spicer he's still the press secretary but won't be allowed to run the daily press briefing." Uh...no, it is nothing like that at all. Speaking to the press is the press secretary entire job. A GMs job is first and foremost to manage player personnel, media relations is not near the top of a GMs job duties (despite how important the media think they are). Guy is the flat out definition of a hack writer and the BN should be embarrassed to employ him.

Probably best to expect a lot out of a 6th round draft pick who had 74 catches in his entire college career that missed an entire season to injury. Those guys typically pan out.

...and one that has been wrong as well on occasion So....complete opposite of his NFL game then?

One of the most misused words in the English language, agree?

This is unfortunate, not ironic.

One of the main differences, though, is that EJ wasn't even really that good in college either. Watch any tape on him and you will clearly see the same issues (especially accuracy) that we saw here. Watch Mahomes, Trubisky, or Watson and the difference is night and day IMO. I think all 3 are highly UNDERRATED in this draft.

Joe Montana was also surrounded by HoF players on his offense and defense. Additionally, there was virtually no free agency when Montana was playing so he continuously played with those elite talents around him for his entire 49er career. Brady has won rings with 3 or 4 completely different rosters and been to the SB with even more. I'm sorry, but to me, that's more impressive.

Just because you haven't heard of guys doesn't mean they don't make significant contributions to teams. People underrate team depth and special teams players all the time. And what happens when you don't hit on depth in the draft, well, you have injuries during the season and are forced to sign unemployed scrubs off the street (as we do every single year) because we can only find one or two contributors in the draft. Meanwhile, teams like the Packers and Seahawks are getting the most out of their drafts every single year and only signing cheap FAs or that one guy that may get them over the hump. Not filling 5 holes every off season with overpriced FAs. Who perennially spends the most in FA? The Redskins, right? How has that worked out for them? Overpriced guys year after year after year and in cap trouble year after year after year. Your definition of "solid contributor" is just so fanlike and you are the one who needs to step out of fantasy land and take a good look at how real organizations are run.

Want some knee pads to be a little bit more comfortable while you are down there?

Plus their first and second round picks too. Love how the Pats are "stronger" when they sign our guy who, if you go by these boards, 90% of Bills fans were desperate to get out of here. Allen has been an underachieving receiving threat, even if he is a top blocker, with injury issues his whole career (and college too). The fact remains, if they didn't have Brady then they would be far from the most talented team in the division.

This is not the mindset of a successful team. You need 5/6 solid contributors per draft. Whether that be on special teams or as injury replacements throughout the year, you need to find guys who can contribute throughout the entire draft. These guys are so much cheaper than FAs and building through the draft protects your cap situation.

Just like a Bills fan to want to get rid of our most talented player on defense. I'm guessing you wanted Gilmore out of town too? A guy that the best coach in the league was willing to pay top dollar to. Belichick probably doesn't know what he's doing though, right? And how, exactly, is he a cheater? He did not take performance enhancing drugs. He did something that some studies have estimated over 50% of the league does.

If they are going with only 2 LBs then we need to find someone better than P.Brown to be one of them. He is flat out terrible. Always going to the wrong hole, can't shed blocks, average at best tackler who was made to look a fool on a weekly basis last year in the running game. His instincts are just horrendous.

BBMB newcomers, meet Howard. And wait till you meet his wife!

Point being is you have to continuously take shots on finding a franchise QB every year until you hit on one. Cardale is not one. Tyrod is not one. Law of averages says the more QBs we pick, the better the chance of finding one. It's not rocket surgery. Trubisky, Watson, Mahomes, Kelly, Peterman, Kizer, all have a better chance of being a top QB than Cardale and Tyrod do. Cardale is not progressing at all and Tyrod is what he is at this point, a guy that may get us to the playoffs but no further IMO.

There are at least 5 QBs who are obviously better than Cardale in this draft. Probably more.

I would have no problem at all if we cut Cardale tomorrow. He is terrible. He was not good at Ohio State, he was not good last pre-season, and he was atrocious in week 17. You cannot correct such horrible accuracy issues. I'm sorry, but you can't. Cut him and draft a guy that you actually have a chance to develop, not some guy who's only attribute is a huge arm.

No reason he should not have been kept for depth at the very least. You telling me we are going to lose Gilmore and Robey-Coleman and we are going to have 5 or 6 CBs on our roster next year better than him? I don't think so.

You can really say this about any position. The thing is, good franchises aren't usually drafting in the top 10 enough to have multiple players at the same position taken. Unfortunately, we are not in that boat.

I'd be willing to guess that 95%+ of the people on this board who say "tank for Darnold" have not watched more than 2 of his games. Just sheep following the herd. As was mentioned earlier, pretty much every year next year's QB class will be better...until they are not. While Darnold is good, he is no Luck, Manning, Elway type can't miss prospect (and Manning may not have been either). It's useless to intentionally tank in football unless you have that level of QB prospect. There is just too much uncertainty in wins/losses as well as in the draft. As for the OP, there is no chance any of those guys is going to achieve the main goal, winning the Super Bowl. So no, it's not worth it to kick those tires IMO.

Preston Brown is a run stuffer???? That is the funniest thing I've read here in a long while. He is the worst run defending MLB that I have ever seen.

Perhaps the best CB of all time, Mr. Primetime, was quite possibly the worst tackling defender the league has ever seen. In a pass happy league where all the rules favor the offense, letting a high quality CB walk because he missed a few tackles in his contract year is not a smart move at all.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you seriously saying that Fred Jackson is a better RB than LeSean McCoy? You, sir, are delusional.

People still write "LOL"?
