Bleeding Bills Blue

For me if its someone like Higgins? Could be just a BPA value style pick. It depends how the draft falls.

They have potential to be stars in this defense. Neal's made some plays, but mostly plays special teams. Marlowe has 13 tackles and is 27 - so I don't think he's being counted on to play meaningful snaps.

I only watched one USC game and he specifically got his ass kicked by Epenesa in that game FWIW. It was a Jerry pick for sure - I don't even know how that fits into the offense. He's not really like - a slot weapon? Will be interesting to see how they incorporate having Cooper, Gallup, Lamb, and zeke.

Only 1 back was taken which is about as good as you can hope for (as one of the champions of RB as a need) - Only problem is there are a few teams in front of buffalo who could look at a dobbins, swift, taylor. So i expect you to be hoping Miami, Jax, TB, Rams, and Falcons don't snag them. I think the Falcons have no defense, the rams will probably prioritize offensive line, the jags will want to move fournette for something in this draft, the bucs need defense help. Detroit or Indy could go for guys here too depending on the player. Same with the Jets, who may want someone a bit more explosive as they inevitably move on from Bell. Still - Its quite possible any of those 3 are there, and its also quite possible that Beane likes Moss or Akers more ? Gotta love draft season

He whooped the fins new Left tackle in that bowl game.

The guy eats like an entire pumpkin pie per day. He's a wacky dude with wacky hair

Just ripping a bong between picks and watching office reruns between picks. "hey uh commish, stop rolling that blunt - the pick is in!"

I wonder if they wanted to leave it like that so that it felt more - everyman.

His basement looks like... everyone i know's basement. Apparently he's not a super flashy guy. Maybe he's big into expensive hobbies or has vacation homes. Boating, fishing, big game hunting, flying planes.. who knows.

Depends on camp/preseason. It's going to be condensed, and they'll probably know then whether they think he can win with stidham.

Yeah - fins traded tunsil post draft and camp last year and still got 1sts... but that was bill obrien. Does he have anything left to trade for Ngakoue?

That would have to go down mid-draft i would think. They'd want to trade for a specific pick for a specific player. I mean - michel/white vs. mixon/bernard. The oline is a maaaassive upgrade. WR's of Harry, Edelman, maybe sanu vs. Boyd and... ross? Plus McDaniels as OC, and a top defense. He has to do a lot less.

Looks like he costs 10 mil to the bucs and nothing to NE. They need to replace sanu before they can cut him - this is probably a good draft to do it. If they move Thuney their oline just opens up a huge hole at LG. They made due with Newhouse at LT last year with Wynn hurt again ... and we know that newhouse stinks. I feel like the guy next to him likely propped him up. They get andrews back - and mason/cannon are pretty good. Do you open the huge hole at LG to spread money around or try and fix QB? I guess? It's a tough year with all the dead money, you either let it happen and re-stock in 2021 - or try and figure out how to bandaid QB. I know the bengals are cheap, but they aren't cutting dalton, they'll wait for a more appropriate value. Winston might even be cheaper for NE since he lost the musical chairs game.

Yeah - they were his hitter and pitcher keepers. I get cole in the 2nd and Bellinger in the 6th this year if and when we have baseball season :(. and i pick #1 overall so i'll have a team with Trout, Bellinger, Cole

So the Championship is 2 weeks and a good week would be say 400 points. I was down 155 to like 5 after 3 days. So many bad pitching performances in such a short period of time. His team didn't even win so much as mine just flat out lost.

Right - GM calls the player after the pick is submitted to Goodell. There doesn't need to be a face to face or something between beane and goodell.

My Brother just won our fantasy baseball league last year with auto draft. He had Yelich in the 8th round and Bauer in like the 15th as keepers. But i went on a crazy run and won 15 consecutive weeks and lost in the championship. Wade Miley and the rest of my non gerrit cole/lance lynn starters just crapped all over my season.

Does he realize you can have more than one thing open on a screen, or more than one persons face on each screen in webex? 2 computers, tablet, land line. 3 monitors tops - 4 just gets too busy for me and you end up just stashing something like email or teams messaging. One for webex, one for email, and one for my actual draft info. But i'd have other stuff behind the webex and email because... they don't need to be open all the time. They have notifications indicating that you have an email or that someone's sharing screen in webex, etc. Cell phone for conference calls/trades, and a landline there simply to call in picks if the app fails. I'd probably want the biggest TV in my house set up with my big board - ideally a shared "living" file. If i could screen mirror to like a surface pro that would be ideal since touch screen would be good for that type of thing. Nice thing is Buffalo gets a test run since they have no picks on day 1. Also, did they have app developers create a like - official draft application? Does anyone know?

I just look at guys like Gerald McCoy, Kawann Short, Geno Atkins and their numbers during rookie seasons... its a lot to make a big impact at that position as a rookie. Wilkins and Williams both struggled to make major impact during their rookie seasons more than i felt Oliver did. Then realizing he came from a small school where he was playing nose tackle, and its a lot of change for him moving to 3T. I mean - he won the MVP the year before and threw 50 TD passes. He's going to be the highest paid player.

If you boost the practical guarantees and it's more likely he sees years 3/4 of the deal (guaranteed base salaries that trigger a year in advance), i could see it making sense for him to sign. I could also see them rolling with a tweener LB/S in the 2nd round and replacing some of his snaps that way moving forward. Depends too what they think they have on the bench in dodson/joseph. So there are a lot of factors.

I'm just playing "agent"/devils advocate. Wouldn't these players contracts make him want to at least be in that same area? Van Noy rushes the passer a bit more, but he could theoretically fall in the so called 3-down LBer role. I mean - he had a really positive rookie year i thought. His numbers aren't insane but again... he was a rookie. I'm hopeful for a good jump in year 2.

Where does Milano compare to Deion Jones and Shaq Thompson? They both got north of 13 million AAV. Same with Kwon Alexander.

Allen 35+?

Yeah - a 5th in 2020 is a lot less valuable than a 3rd or something in 2021. Only select teams have cap to extend at this point. Miami could make it work, but they're also going to wait til the draft is over to see how big the need is there. 3 1sts is a chance to get a cost controlled DE across from Lawson, but its dependant on how this draft turns out. Likely they take a QB, and an OT in the first. DE isn't notably strong outside of young, and they have ogbah and charlton as options. Ngakoue is better than probably all of those options though, and the price is probably a lot lower than people thought.

What you're saying is true. However, the relationship is broken. He has basically said he won't play there. If he signs and you fine him/force him to play... are you really going to get a team player with total buy in? No. Trade him now and at least you get a 2020 asset. If you wait too long you're looking at a 2021 asset post draft, or if he walks in 2021 a 2022 comp pick at best.
