This is kind of where I’m at. These 2 clients represent about 65%-70% of my annual income. I really need the goodwill (but they do love me).

That would be well beyond the maximum donation allowed ($5k). I can’t do that. I’m thinking I should do $1k but was kind of hoping someone would say less is okay. My fear is that I look cheap but at the same time this buys me nothing but goodwill. It’s important goodwill but I’m having a hard time justifying it in my head. Thanks Max, I think that’s great advice!!

Yeah, my client (whose niece it is), called me and asked me to come. He never asks for anything and it is a larger reception with all kinds of donors. It will be a very politically powerful room.

I have no idea why I come here for advice but sometimes I do. You guys are great. With that being said I have a political fundraiser to attend tomorrow. The suggested donation levels are $250, $500 or $1,000. It is being put on by my 2 biggest clients and the candidate is a niece of one of them. She’s already in office though. I can’t expense a political donation so this one is coming out of pocket. Whether she remains in office or not has no bearing on me personally. It is 100% about doing something for these 2. Do I need to go to the $1K or can I get away with $500 without looking like a cheap @ss?

Ha ha, I was just coming into this thread to light that match. You beat me to it!!

Sanders is definitely in play, late 2nd early 3rd. I like Devin Singletary a little more but Sanders can play. Singletary didn’t test well so may be an option in the 4th.

It’s possible that I have some. I’ll check with my dad and brother to see if either of them aren’t using theirs.

I don’t think so either but I could see Oliver and Williams in those slots. If he is there at 9 he will almost certainly be BPA.

I think that this is right. There ‘s a chance that Devin White is the last real elite player at 9. It will be a test of BPA.

I’ll take SF if no one wants them.

Agree here i think that your numbers are good @Virgil Lastly, I think that, for this exercise the Bills should stay put and we do another poll. It is too tough to manage the Bills otherwise.

I’m willing to do the same. Someone can feel free to be Tom Coughlin and Doug Marrone.

Thanks again Virgil!! I look forward to the one with trades. The easiest idea is to require all trades to be within 50 points on the trade value chart (or something). It gets tricky if people can trade for players but should work with picks.

This is the place in that area for that

I guess for me it involves players slipping a little. Oliver at 9 feels like an easy decision if he’s there (which he may or may not be). It would be great to see Fant or DK fall to the 2nd. I don’t think it’s likely but this is best case. In the 3rd get Jaylon Ferguson and trade back up for Devin Singletary. Something like that would be great IMO.

Gross

I think so. I wouldn’t say a good chance which is why I went elsewhere but either of those 2 would certainly be the pick. At some point the value meets the risk. Simmons may be a top 5 talent in this draft. Obviously there are a few red flags but may be worth the dice roll. There are other options as well but I’d like to see him considered at that point.

I don’t know if the Bills will pick twice in the 1st (but it’s possible). I think that they pick at least 4 times by the end of day 2. I suppose that there’s even a scenario where they pick 5 guys before the end of day 2. They could (hypothetically) trade 9 to the Raiders for 24 & 27. They could then package the 2 4ths to get back into the 3rd. How about this? 24 - Ferrell 27 - Fant 40 - Simmons 74 - Kelvin Harmon 98 - Tytus Howard This may be wishful thinking but a home run nonetheless.

I don’t see any team trading for Barkley or Anderson. There are much, much better options out there. They are here because they are competent players and raise the floor in the event of an Allen injury. They also help in his development.

I went with Sweat. I get the sense that the Bills want a pash rusher in the 1st. Oliver is probably the target but without him there, they could go outside to Sweat or Burns.

With the 7th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Jawaan Taylor, OT, University of Florida. @wppete and the Detroit Lions are on the clock.

I wasn’t arguing that but ABSOLUTELY that’s plausible.

Why is anyone arguing that teams don’t go BPA? Teams absolutely do that. They build their boards accordingly and then stick to it.
