Hes a great kid and an athlete from another world. I sort of feel bad for him. I dont know that they pick him if available. I get the feeling that the Bills will be disappointed if they fail to make a strong playoff run this year. I think thats what they expect. I dont know they will want to wait the 2 to 3 years needed to find out if he can develop. Brown is good to go and Butler has done more to favourably project to the next level.

I think they sit tight and take who they feel is BPA-and there are plenty of good prospects. Just my preference but Id like to see O-line and TE in the second, then whatever is best from amongst WR, DB and RB remaining when they are on the clock. I sort of like the idea of packaging later round picks for an extra second except our braintrust seems to be pretty good at finding gems much later, even undrafted. I feel a lot better now on draft day that I have confidence in our GM, HC, scouts and others involved in the evaluations. Didnt always have that feeling in the past.

I believe we got a great player but no one with a brain in his head thought he was ever lining up as 1 tech. John Randle is an interesting comparison tho.

Agree. Add to core strength elite athleticism and a rather violent demeanour ( to say the least) and what you get is a great player at a position of dire need. Frankly I'm ecstatic. Now I'm just hoping our HC can keep his hands off another DB. His head must be spinning.

I don't think people quite get it. Core strength can be as much a God given attribute as speed, agility etc... Ed Oliver is just tremendously strong for his weight. He's a lot like Donald that way.

Well I guess Beane won't be moving up for him. Maybe if he's there when we're up in the 2nd.

Wierd haven't seen this flagged. Wonder what and how serious. Talented guy.

What's up with J Taylor? Medical?

Karma is effin with Rosen two years in a row.

Wtf is this guy wearing

Love it.

Ugh

Cant remember.

All those guys in Zona gonna get fired. Again.

Vikings. Twice I think.

Cards prolly won't get the pick in on time.

And not doing right by either player.

I've been thinking this for a long time. I thought he was a natch to them last year but for that franchise RB being there and a need.

There are players I would pick ahead of him but they prolly won't be there. J. Williams will be a very good pro at tackle or inside for many years. What's not to like if he's the pick? Nothing that I can see.

I'm head over heels over DKs measurables but not enuf production and more importantly his route running and hands are, I won't say suspect because there isn't much to back that up either, but unproven. I think that couple of years ago Corey Davis was a better prospect and worth a top ten selection despite the conference. This year I'd rather have Harry later even if I had to trade up. Having said that with his other worldly athleticism, bloodlines, and stratospheric ceiling he probably presents the profile Beane seems to like so I wouldn't be surprised.

Yep. All (draft) day.

Both Ford and Clark can rush the passer on the outside, but Clark is a tougher, way more physical player who is much, much better against the run. The price was very steep agreed but the Chiefs obviously think they've landed a 25 year old elite pass rusher who is not at all situational and who adds a lot of value on every down. If they are right he's worth it.

Because Clark is a much better player.

If a QB lacks personality he might still be a great player. Having a great personality definitely helps though, in the lockerroom and in the huddle, assuming you otherwise have the tools. That's why they say Napoleon (when he was on his game) was worth 20,000 men in the field. His guys loved him. Having the right personality for the job is a positive and an important intangible. Of course you also need to have the tools. I'm very encouraged by Allen's rookie year, especially after his return from injury. The biggest question surrounding any college player is whether and how well he will be able to transition to the pro game. Lots of players look good in college and even project well to the next level but don't transition well. It's a big jump. It's when a guy continues to impress and especially even looks like he can improve that you start to think you've maybe struck gold. I checked out as much of Allen's WYO tape as I could last year before the draft. There were issues with his game (and there still is) but he was clearly cut in the mould of a dominant player. Last year he consistently flashed the same dominant tendencies on an NFL field and in fact to my untrained eye he was a better and more effective player in the NFL after his return from injury than he was in the Mountain West. That's pretty ridiculous IMO. So I have some confidence that things bode well for him and the Bills. I think he's going to be good. Maybe great.

Cards are taking Murray # 1. Given the hype nothing else would make any sense. Trading out of the first spot (if that was their plan) would give them the same leverage/value without the hype & undermining Rosen. IMO they will regret their decision.
