At full strength being the key. As they are comprised now? Not a chance imo.

I know the east had more 50 win teams than the west but it still is a very weak conference 1. Raptors - chokers 2. Celtics - missing top 2 players but playoff tested 3. Sixers - A year too early, getting their experience 4. Cavs - Still gonna win dragging this apathetic and pathetic team to yet another finals appearance. It's too bad Kyrie and Hayward aren't playing. That ECF would have been very interesting. I was hoping Rockets/Warriors would be but the closer it gets to reality the more I see Warriors in 5 at most 6.

Why just the Lakers? How about the Nuggets who traded the pick? Or any of the 12 teams before he got picked? Including your Mavs

Think I'm just tracking myself here but I want stay on top of my progress. 206.1 today!

The Patriots are known for bringing in QBs they have no intention of drafting to get inside their mind. It gives them information and helps them in game planning. I'll try to dig up the article. This makes sense then when the smoke was there for Mayfield at 3 to the Jets. Hopefully the Bills did likewise as you stated with Darnold. One of those tricks that the Patriots* use to get a leg up and it is a pretty good one imo.

My thoughts exactly! Glad to see you Bill and glad you liked the draft! Since you liked it how bout an old school game day thread breaking them down?

Are Broncos going to get Rudolph in the 3rd?

Wow he does!

Darnold looks like the bully from 90s kids sports movies

Finally broke the 210 barrier! It was 209.9 but still lol. This morning I hit 209.2. Belt has moved over a notch, my man boobs have shrunk, and I no longer have a dickie-do!!! All good things, I hope everyone else continues to do well!

Friend's house and playing cards. They are aware that I will be extremely distracted. I have already apologized for the amount of times I won't be paying attention to the card game . Tomorrow night will be home, Saturday i'll have it on in the background.

I thought they were pretty accurate lol. I'll be pumped for Rosen or Mayfield, happy with Darnold, nervous/unsure/sad for Allen, and unsure how to feel about Jackson. I have zero control over this situation so I shouldn't get worked up about it but today directly effects my enjoyment of Fall Sundays for the next several years . Please let them get it right!!!

Josh Rosen Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold Josh Allen Lamar Jackson

Bills are on the clock Pick is in The Buffalo Bills select

This will be me trying to make it through tonight!

What if Jackson is who they want? Pocket Passer like Cam? He of the sub 60% career completions? I don't think anyone has any idea who they like or why.

1393 people polled for the first one. 1037 for the second. Those are very very very small polls and can't be held up to accurately portray the feelings of America. Locale is so important for a study that small. Is that 2400 people from NYC or from Alabama? LA or West Virginia? I won't however argue with the bolded. The only caveat is they work in the public forum. I couldn't do what they are at work but nobody is reporting on my day to day life at work, nobody is paying to watch me work, there are no tv/radio shows devoted to my work. So it isn't an apples to apples comparison.

This draft, probably since it is so important to Buffalo, is one I would really like to here Beane's thought process and how things actually went down. Even if I had to wait 10 years I think it would be an interesting story. Hopefully a 30 for 30 comes out one day on all the behind the scenes maneuvering.

Yeah Mayfield and Rosen I think will be good. Jackson, Darnold, and Rudolph I think could be good. Allen I just don't see it. That's how I have them tiered. Just my personal rankings. I would be okay with Allen at 12 or even if Rosen, Mayfield, and Darnold are gone. I just wouldn't feel good about Allen over any of those 3. It would feel same old Bills to me. I'll give this regime the benefit of the doubt and hope they are right I just won't feel great about it if that makes sense.

I also think Darnold will bust I like Rosen and Mayfield. Both have competitiveness that is important, production at a high level, and there knocks aren't play based. Allen has accuracy concerns, Darnold has wind up and turnover concerns, Rudolph has arm concerns, Jackson has passing ability concerns. Time will tell but I think this class was over hyped because it was supposed to be a great class moreso than it is a great class. Add in that it appears to be a weak draft and I'm not surprised the qb angle was shoved down our throats.

Most of all us fall into the bolded. Allen SCREAMS bust to me. In the same vain of who the hell is Blaine Gabbert? Remember him? Played at Missouri and had subpar stats but went in the 1st round. I don't THINK Allen will work out in the NFL. If he is drafted by the Bills I will hope like hell I am wrong. I've been wrong plenty of times before. I just won't be as excited as I will be if the pick is Rosen or Mayfield. Choosing Allen OVER Rosen as this thread suggests and I will be very disappointed.
