Williams doesn't have it, imo. Tolbert is slow and over-the-hill.

I can't keep up with this thread so sorry if it's already been established... Would the Bills receive the Patriots' 163rd pick or 183rd pick? Pretty significant difference.

I think for the Patriots, 2017 is all about redeeming 2007. They're going undefeated.

Because no matter what they'll be right because Brady. Or they realize the draft is a tremendous crapshoot and they'd rather spend draft picks on young players who have proven that they can play in the league. But regardless, the perception is that everything they do is great because Brady.

Looks like running back is a need now. So let's take a look at the large number of talented backs that will be available in the mid-to-late rounds. Ordered by overall class ranking according to CBSSports NFL Draft team. The grade in parantheses after the ranking indicate the NFL.com rating. The players' programs that the Bills visited on Pro Day is indicated. 116. (5.5) Marlon Mack, RB, USF, 5-11, 215, 4.50 40 123. (5.5) Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo, 5-10, 215, 4.62 - Pro Day 125. (5.6) Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma, 5-11, 235, 4.65 - Pro Day 129. (5.4) Wayne Gallman, RB, Clemson, 6-0, 215, 4.60 - Pro Day 140. (5.7) D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas, 6-0, 235, 4.46 - Pro Day 144. (5.3) Jamal Williams, RB, BYU, 6-0, 210, 4.59 148. (5.6) Jeremy McNichols, RB, Boise State, 5-9, 215, 4.49 - Pro Day 156. (5.2) Corey Clement, RB, Wisconsin, 5-10, 220, 4.68 - Pro Day 160. (5.4) Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming, 6-1, 220, 4.54 162. (5.4) James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh, 6-1, 235, 4.65 174. (5.3) Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State, 5-8, 175, 4.48 180. (5.4) Matthew Dayes, RB, NC State, 5-9, 205, 4.66 194. (5.3) De'Angelo Henderson, RB, Coastal Carolina, 5-7, 210, 4.48 196. (5.3) TJ Logan, RB, North Carolina, 5-9, 195, 4.37 - Pro Day 203. (5.0) Elijah McGuire, RB, Lafayette, 5-10, 215, 4.53 217. (5.4) Tarik Cohen, RB, NC A&T, 5-6, 180, 4.42 225. (5.0) Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP, 5-9, 210, 4.56 261. (4.9) De'Veon Smith, RB, Michigan, 5-11, 225, 4.85 - Pro Day 279. (5.4) Joe Williams, RB, Utah, 5-11, 210, 4.41 A lot of these guys fit the bill for big running back that would compliment Shady. D'Onta Foreman and James Conner intrigue me the most.

Welcome to the AFC East, McDermott. Belichick and Brady will have you hating life soon if they haven't already.

Makes me think his fiance broke up with him after the recent verdict.

Just draft James Conner in the 4th or 5th round and we'll be fine.

The smartest organization in football? They've had the greatest quarterback and the greatest head coach in NFL history together for nearly 20 years. That makes them the smartest organization?

It's a backup running back. Dime a dozen. Dry those tears for cripe's sake.

What are the Patriots thinking?? That is an odd decision. Oh well, at least we get another draft pick.

I love Jones as a prospect. He's a perfect third-stringer - a young guy with all the talent in the world who just needs to develop. It would have done him good to transfer after his redshirt sophomore season at Ohio State but hindsight is 20/20. If he had gone to an FCS school like Eastern Illinois or South Dakota State and/or play in a pro style offense for two whole seasons he could have grown into a first round pick. He just wasn't a fit in Urban Meyer's offense. Now he's behind the eight-ball and may never recover from his lack of real game reps - which is what a quarterback needs the most.

Goodness. It's football, not rocket science.

You guys must be impressed with punts.

Stopped reading at "NFL evaluator Greg Gabriel..."

Since Marrone/Hackett arrived Bortles can't even throw a spiral. I'm assuming that's what Marrone is referring to when he talks foundation. Marrone only has loyalty to himself. If he could convince someone better to be his OC he would. Hackett is the only one willing/desperate enough to put up with his crap.

You guys really think drafting a QB from this poor class is the solution to all of our problems? I'm all for drafting at least one QB per season as long as it's not a reach. Specifically in the mid-rounds if it's not a huge need. But I don't see the Bills taking a QB early. At least I hope not.

In hindsight Jones should have transferred to another pgoram either after the National Championship or to an FCS program like Eastern Illinois or North Dakota State for his final year of eligibility. Having such a small playing career has killed him.

It's not as big a slam dunk as you seem to think it is.

Why not hold off on the option and let him show that he can make it through a 16 game season? It would only be a couple million more to tag him next year if he refuses to sign an extension.

Define "assaulting". Does she have a weapon in your scenario?

I wonder what McDermott's honest thoughts are on Cam Newton.

Pats are going 19-0 in 2017.

If the Patriots signed Gillislee would we get the Patriots' 163rd pick or 183rd pick?
