Oh yeah, thats right to get Waddle. Thanks Gunner

I didn’t realize Eagles had 3 first round picks, thought it was just the 2 back to back picks. This would be a pretty strong haul for the Eagles if they get these 3 players. Knowing the Eagles they will screw some of these up though ha. Where did the Eagles get the extra first round pick? I know one is from Colts for Wentz, but where did the 3rd one come from?

I think a WR to the Saints makes a lot of sense. Thomas isn’t going to ever be what he was with Brees, and has not been healthy in forever. Winston can sling the rock, he’s a former 5000 yard passer and that was before he addressed his eye issues. I doubt they see him as the future, but he’s certainly capable of playing this year as the starter. Maybe it’s because I’m not that enamored with any QB after Willis, but I think the Saints look to add a weapon to the offense which it sorely needs. So to me, Olave makes a lot of sense here.

He won’t be there In the real draft, great pick

I mean why aren’t more people acknowledging this post right here? Literally this post ends this thread and shows people need to stop getting their “news” or info from social media posts and/or headlines.

Lmao, it keeps auto correcting to Darnold. I know it’s Donald, he’s one of favorite non-Bills players.

That doesn’t really make him more disruptive though. Makes him more valuable one could say, but being more disruptive would equate to more sacks, pressures, forced fumbles, tackles, etc. And TJ is doing at the highest rate in the NFL right now. I get the value of getting what Donald brings from the DT position, and he’s arguably the best DT of all time and one of the best defensive players overall of all time. But as it equates to the question of the OP, his age and retirement rumors would hurt his trade value.

I think TJ Watt is slightly better overall player personally than Myles. It’s very close obviously, but I would personally take TJ over Myles. I do agree compensation would be similar though and they would likely be the top 2 in terms of compensation. Donald is probably the greatest DT ever, but yes age and how much longer he will play will lower his compensation in this question posed by the OP.

It’s TJ Watt for sure. He’s the most dominant and disruptive defensive player in the NFL right now, even ahead of Donald who I would say is a very close second. Parsons is interesting, but only 1 year on his resume, so I think Watt would fetch the most.

And some notes as to why you chose Charles Cross

Personally, if I am a team like the Falcons, I stay put and either take BPA or trade down and compile more draft picks this year and next. And if I really want a QB, a guy like Howell or Ridder has a good chance to be there in the 2nd and I don't think there is much of a gap between them and Pickett or Corall IMHO. The only guy I would take early is Willis. If I am going QB early, they better have a very high ceiling if they aren't some sort of slam dunk prospect. But even Willis isn't someone I would even trade up for unless I was desperate to get someone this year. Carolina is in a bit more desperate scenario IMO, so I can see them trading up from 6 to insure they get their guy. They have a good defense and a lot of playmakers on offense. They are a QB away from contending in the NFC. Where as teams like Detroit and Atlanta have a lot of holes to fill, they don't need to reach for a QB this year either as they at least have guys who can hold the job down for one more season too. Although with Detroit, you can make a case that being able to draft a QB without having to spend big to trade up is also appealing, so they may just go ahead and nab someone like Willis if they feel he is worth taking there vs risking not having a high enough pick next year to get their guy and having to trade a lot to move up if they want him. So they are kind of the wildcard right now IMHO at the top of the draft.

I think Willis will go top 7 personally, and may even see a team move up to get him. I don't think anyone feels good about trading up for any of the other QB's though. I gave Matt Corrall some consideration at 8, but ultimately, I felt no pressure to go QB here given we have a lot of big needs and think Mariota is a capable 1 year starter if need be. Falcons plan should be not to reach this draft and take the BPA on the board as they have holes every where. And to me Corrall and Pickett are a reach at 8 (I like Corrall's upside a little more than Pickett personally). Yeah I cant see him getting past Carolina. I dont know what Detroit will do either, but I think they are going throw some smoke regardless about Willis to try and get someone to give them a nice trade offer to move ahead of other teams to get him.

Yes, but I don't expect him to be there in the real draft either. Its a deep WR draft, to be able to pull the trigger with the 8th pick for the highest ceiling QB in the draft without having to do a pricey trade up would have been too much to pass up.

With the 8th pick of the 2022 TSW Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select: Garrett Wilson, WR Ohio State With a lot of holes on both sides of the ball, we aren't interested in trading draft capital to move up in the draft for a QB. There are some QB's in the draft we find intriguing that we like, but with the only one we were willing to take here now off the board, our focus is adding more playmakers to the offense and we are going BPA and taking the top guy on our board in Garrett Wilson. His polished route running will not only be an important weapon for our QB Mariota, but will also take some of the defensive pressure away from our talented TE Pitts. The Seattle Seahawks and @Rock-A-Bye Beasleyare now on the clock with the 9th pick in the draft.

Meh, I’d smoke him. First one was a bad throw and got lucky it hit hole. When you Air Mail a cornhole on an open board that’s like hitting a 3 off the backboard when you weren’t aiming for the backboard haha

Honestly, it’s gonna depend on the flow of the game. Defer is gonna be a strong choice because you have more info when you get the ball and what you need to win. Like do you just need a FG or can you go for two and win it. But if our offense is on fire like the KC game, probably take the ball while we are clicking and hot and strike first to out the pressure on the other team.

I think its more he doesn't follow it all that closely to know the real details, hes not a bad dude, just a friend I play basketball with

Ill take the Jaguars or Falcons

I deleted my original post that was in favor of bringing him in because I had inaccurate info from a friend who told me he was both cleared and proven innocent of his off field stuff. Wasn't true, settling is not being proven innocent. My buddy went to LSU and was a big fan of his, so he had a skewed point of view lol. So I withdraw my original statements which were made off incomplete info. Im a pass on Guice, we have enough bad "Juice" in our historical fridge here lol.

I already corrected the post. I just wrote originally what my buddy said about him, it was inaccurate I realized when I googled it after. Charges were dropped after settlement reached, big difference than "being proven innocent". My friend is an LSU fan as he went there and been advocating for Guice to the Cardinals (his fave NFL team) to replace Edmunds. So I took his info as more accurate than it was lol. My bad I already corrected it before you replied.

There is no debating that our OL turned a big corner when Bates entered the starting lineup last year, its as significantly improved. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and moving Bates into the starting lineup stabilized the whole line. With Saffold and Bates at the guard spots, Dawkins and Brown on the edges and Morse manning the middle I think we can expect good things from the line this year, especially with the major upgrade in terms OL Coaching they will receive.

Fair point about driving in the weather, not something us non-locals would think about ha.

What trend is this? Every other new stadium has been 3,000 to 18,000 more seats than this one. A few people have said this, but there isn't any evidence of this in what other teams have planned and done.

Which would be cool, but that then doesnt "increase" capacity above the 62,000 thats being reported.

Ok so legit question...why are you as a season ticket holder trying to get rid of tickets? Is the weather a big factor in which games you don't want to go to? And when you are struggling to find takers for the tickets, is it because its a bad weather game and you cant find someone as easily to take the tickets because not as many people want to sit in the miserable weather? I don't want to turn the thread into a debate of dome vs outdoor, the decision has already been made to be an open air stadium again. So no value in anyone discussing what is better choice. But, I can't help but wonder if the problems of getting rid of your tickets is more weather related than related to how many people actually want to go to the game. I don't live in Buffalo, never have. But as a fan, I still get the allure of being outdoors even in the cold for a football game. But, if a team wanted to maximize the PSL's, the year round use of the stadium, and capacity...a dome or retractable roof would have made much more financial sense...or even like what they did with SoFi with the glass roof and open air sides making it kind of a hybrid indoor/outdoor stadium. I personally thought a stadium like Allegiant that was built for the Raiders made perfect sense for Buffalo, but thats just my non-local opinion. None the less, still think 65,000+ seating makes more sense for this new open air stadium. But it is what it is...they got their deal and their plan. Just surprised they chose to build the smallest stadium in the NFL.
