I know Ralph is from Detroit, but it kinda stung to see his niece announce Detroit's 4th with a "Go Lions" with his name on the screen. She also worked for the Bills for like 20 years.

That was very German. Sheeesh.

I read this as Nanu Nanu

I have been bopping around the house with some projects. I haven't heard the cost of moving up. Next years 3rds? That is some Madden return. It has been forever, but I used to do that. I once maxed out at like 12 first round picks. But seriously, if we can get a 3rd for 128 I wouldn't hesitate. Especially with 141 right there.

Of all the predictions and picks so far for the Bills, the thing I most surprised by is that we are at pick 123 and the Bills have not packaged any picks to move up in the 4th yet.

The classic topic that could have been a comment.

Just in general I don’t get draft hype. Like I’m just going to watch somebody read a list….very slowly. I watch at home, but sitting on my couch is a lot different.

I think they’re trying to fix the broken brains. Guardian helmets in Pop Warner and HS are starting to become a lot more popular. This is likely just sort of getting ahead of it. I suspect NCAA programs will also start soon

Right? Not to mention Dan Morgan, President of Football Ops in Carolina played for Carolina while Beane was President of Football Ops and worked under Beane before going back to Carolina. Of all the scenarios, Legette “sneaking” to Carolina after it was telegraphed all week and Beane’s relationship with Dan Morgan wasn’t one of them. And to base it all off of “my buddy guessed the first two picks so it must be right.”? Bahaha.

That was my take but he’s still around and we have a bunch of draft capital still.

But he isn’t sure if he’s here.

20? Holy shirt, the dude is older than Tremaine Edmunds!

Specifically on the outside. If Franklin is there I think you take him. Getting two big jump ball guys on the outside should let everybody feast underneath.

I think their coverage reviews got so big so quickly they feel this pressure to be constantly pushing out content. Their content was so "information" based as in just breaking down the general responsibilities of certain coverages and basic reads that when they give an opinion or thought it has this weight of "reporting". Which leads to this "well Cover 1 says..." but they don't have the knowledge or inside line to support that kind of regular content creation.

Samuel is a slot receiver, an inch shorter and 20 lbs lighter. Deebo is 6' 215 lbs who only takes like 17% of his snaps inside. For reference Diggs took 30% of his snaps from the slot and Curtis took nearly 70% from the slot position. They aren't even close to the same receiver.

You can't convince me this isn't Leodis McKelvin.

Yeah. I read Franklin, I responded Franklin, But my brain short circuited and kept saying Coleman

Agree on the Saban/Bill show. That would be awesome. I oddly enjoy the Belichick personality, but I really enjoyed how candid he about his film review. We have sen guys early in their broadcast career like Romo take a deep dive only to dumb it down. I hope he sticks to it. He is definitely more stubborn than everybody, if anybody can it is Bill. Re: Bill and McAfee, I think he enjoyed himself. He laughed a ton and asked to be a regular on the show. It seemed to catch Pat off guard. They agreed to do a weekly Monday spot this season. I think being the straight man last night made it a reasonable show. I like Pat's daily show, but I wouldn't have stayed tuned in with them last night if not for Bill. I think they are on to something that could be a great draft show with a little fine tuning. Also the Rodgers segment was unbearable. I find him annoying in general, but sometimes entertaining in a watching a crazy person be crazy kind of way. It seemed very clear that he expects to have a lot of influence on the FO/draft.

Totally agree. I meant manage him managing himself. The whole thing falls under him not being accountable for himself, one of, if not the most important skill for an elite athlete.

Any concern with Franklins speed?

Adonai Mitchell is interesting. Some of the attitude concerns seem to be linked to his lack of management of his diabetes. I’ll be curious if the Bills think they can manage that. Because if they can he’s an unbelievable athlete. For any of the film gurus on the board I am curious is Franklin plays faster than his combine time.

You asked why. The answer is McAfee is one of the most popular, if not the most popular NFL show in the world. He is on ESPN as well, but his YouTube alone did better than the NFL Network did last year. So he’s likely already beat “one of the larger panels”. You can “disagree” all you want. But it doesn’t change the viewership numbers which aren’t really an opinion. Lots of people watch McAfee. Way more people than you think. It isn’t bottom of the barrel viewership. Day in and day out it’s top of the barrel. You just hate the guy and that’s ok too. But it has nothing to do with BB.

You’ve missed the point entirely. Those Pat Macafee numbers are bigger than most of the other sports and football shows on any other network. Get Up and First Take average about 600k per day to Pats 800k+. You hate the guy. I get it. I am not here to tell you he is the most entertaining shows. But when you ask “why isn’t he on the other networks right now?”. That’s why. Because his daily viewership is as high or higher than everybody else. Everything you like the most isn’t the most popular and that’s totally Ok. But it doesn’t make other people bums.

Interesting. I wouldn’t be mad at either. I think there is a real possibility we trade back and a small chance we even end up with 4 picks in the top 100. The cost for Higgins to Buffalo would have to be astronomical. Cincinnati, KC, and Buffalo are all in a fight for the top of the conference. Buffalo has to be a short list of no-go’s like to Diggs to KC.

I think there’s a chance we get 4 picks in the 2nd/3rd tomorrow with a trade down from 33. At quick glance lots of teams with 2 x 2nds/3rds.
