Bleeding Bills Blue

I think if he makes it past 6, he's got to be at least in play. Depends who they like though. 21+22 for pick 9 with SF might do it.

Cousins goes to one of them. Giants may not draft one, as they could love barkley, or trade down to address other holes (terrible O-line). Cardinals pick at 15, which is much easier to jump than 5 or whatever - and they also have tons of holes and are a solid candidate to bottom out. There's also Bradford, Keenum, Bridgewater, McCarron available. As well as Allen, Jackson, Rosen, and Darnold. There's always a chance he falls more than people think. He's a tad over 6', which will turn some people off. He's had some issues. I don't think we're willing to trade up to like 2 or 3, but i think like 9, or 10 might be in play if we like a certain guy.

Great QBs are able to play for soooo long. There just aren't tons of examples of running backs playing for 15-20 years. I don't care where you draft the guy, or sign the guy or whatever. Just get it right.

He's like Jordan at this point. His contract is still a huge amount of money, but when you add in his endorsement money he's probably just as high as anyone else.

Right...? Tyrod is drafted by Baltimore... Barely plays for them. Then plays like 40 games for buffalo. How is that a hit? I guess from the perspective of "productive NFL player in the 6th round" then yes, he's a hit. And he's missed what the last 20 games for Miami?

Winston at least seems to have some upside still. He's just burning through the cheap part of his contract with nothing to show for it.

Don't u remember when he juked eddie robinson?!!!

Yeah, I would agree. Also - i think Mariota is kind of bad. For a #2 pick i expect something better than Tyrod Taylor. Tannehill is the definition of meh. Winston doesn't impress me.

I wouldn't consider Fitz or Taylor as hits - because their success was not with the team who drafted them.

They're carrying over 50 million in cap from 2017 too. Shouldn't be an issue for them at this point because there's no one on the team really getting paid.

I vaguely remember people kept asking him about the hat, and he said something like - i needed a haircut, so i wore a hat... and now i'll never wear one again.

Eh - i mean... he's a buffalo bill til hes not. He's just trying to get paid so he can buy more fancy suits.

Really demonstrates his leadership and accountability for a coach who preaches doing things the right way.

They can't afford his salary, they are over the cap as of now. Bradham is a free agent. Peters will be cut.

I mean - in the video he was asked what do you want to work on in the offseason. He basically said he wanted to work on his accuracy, but answered it as "Continue to be accurate"

People will be lining up to cancel tickets.

A tad extreme.... I have 0 interest in Foles for a 1st round pick. I don't think anyone really does. The Free agent class will hit a lot of the spots, and the ones that don't will look to the draft. So they only way to trade him and get something for 2018 would be to trade him when you can. Drafting in the 1st gets you 5 years of cost control, trading for Foles gets you one.

Considering Bradford, Bridgewater, Keenum, Cousins are UFAs. McCarron might be - and at the very least will be a RFA and subjected to an offer sheet. Bears save a ton cutting Glennon too so he's probably available. Foles might be available for trade. There's a decent chance Miami cuts Tannehill. Not to mention... Darnold, Rosen, Allen, Mayfield, Rudolph, Jackson are in the draft. McCown has legit never played a 16 game slate and he's 39. Why not bring back Fitz, or Blaine Gabbert? I'm ok with McCown, but only if you're very much planning on getting a QB in the draft. I think signing McCown also very much lays out your intention to draft someone.

Ah - good point. I forgot they already like... did all this lol

They're already over the cap in 2018 while also losing players. They have 1 pick in first 3 rounds, and will probably need to release a few solid players (Peters, Curry/Graham, Torrey Smith) to get under the cap. Adding a top 100 pick or even two would definitely help the team.

They hired Matt Eberflus to be their D-coordinator already, so me-thinks they want to go offense. Could very well be a rooney rule interview.

Wont get any 2018 help doing that though. Trading him now can get you picks in 2018. Eh - not if Wentz can't suit up. If Foles holds out for an extension or demands a trade you don't have a QB for the preseason. I don't think you can do sign-and-trades in the NFL. However, in the NFL you have the franchise tag - so you would still have some leverage. I assume if you're willing to pony up and trade assets for the guy, then you will make a good faith effort to re-sign him.

Yeah - considering we don't exactly have a #1 WR or RZ target waiting in the wings, i think he sticks. Plus its fully guaranteed for injury, so he'd have to pass a physical in March to even release him.

I think that the Eagles would entertain trading him because they only have 1 pick in the first 100 picks - and its # 32. After that its late 4th round for their next pick. 2 of their starting LB's are UFAs, and they're pretty much at the cap. They can carve out some space by cutting peters, torrey smith, and maybe curry or graham, and plug barnett into the starting lineup. Just have to keep looking forward, and with 1 pick in the first 3 rounds you can't add a ton of talent or depth. Their WRs and RBs are solid, and they have their young QB on the affordable deal for 2 more years, and their O-line is good even without peters. Key is on defense with getting the right LBs to replace Bradham and Ellerbe, and hoping for improvement in the secondary. Their pass rush is awesome and Cox is just a beast in the middle. He disrupts everything on that side of the ball.

I'm up and down on him. His athleticism really is top notch - he'll run in the 4.3's, and he's incredibly quick and elusive in the open field. I do question his smarts though - he doesn't come off particularly bright in interviews. On the football field, he seems to make a lot of the right reads - he just misses throws because of timing. I don't usually care about the wonderlic, but if they're considering him I'd like to see him in the mid-20s.
