  1. Not LEGALLY in the US as far as I’m aware.
  2. Just wait. Sports betting isn’t the endgame. The companies are losing money on it so far. Their goal is to get table games and slots on your phones so everyone can gamble 24-7. That’ll be their moneymaker if it happens.
  3. It surprises me too, but I have to think that vegas is dialed in to information too. GMs do give info away sometimes, but they almost always try to keep secret their final decisions.
  4. Not coincidentally, among the players that could reasonably make it to 10 Odunze is the player that would have the highest trade value. Basically they’re telling the NFL to come get him if he makes it to 10. For the Bills it means they have to get to 9 if they want him - if he makes it there.
  5. That isn’t what he is saying. He’s saying that you draft players for what they can provide over at least the next four years, not just in season one. Basically draft for the long term, not short term. That’s what smart teams do.
  6. I don’t suffer fools gladly. And if I’m being honest, that’s been a bit of a hindrance in my life. But still……a RB because his dad played for the team and an off the ball LB. Both top 5.
  7. That movie is dumb as F. All that unrealistic BS that everyone who seriously follows the draft knows is ridiculous. And the cherry on top is the GM does it all for a RB and an off the ball LB. SMDH.
  8. This is the evidence I keep coming back to. Some people here are banging the “you don’t need an elite WR” drum pretty hard, but NFL teams are paying them large and that tells the opposite story.
  9. I’d feel a lot better about that statement if it wasn’t the same thing that what was said about Shaq Lawson.
  10. That’s exactly the issue. It’s gonna hurt, but I am still expecting it to happen.
  11. The Bears have picks #1 and #9 overall in this year’s draft. They are taking Caleb Williams with 1 to replace Fields, whom they traded to Pittsburgh. Them trading 9 to acquire more picks is a possibility.
  12. That is incorrect. The Bills can easily create a huge amount of cap space next offseason.
  13. Next offseason it’ll be easier to sell FAs on the team too. We would already have an explosive, complete offense and would just need some defensive playmakers to round out a SB caliber roster.
  14. This year and next. They will have cap space to make some moves for 2025 though.
  15. I agree. This is how I see it playing out. We get into the top 9 for a top 3 WR, but the price will be steeper than most here expect. This team will have to win with offense this season and they need a stud WR for the offense to do that. The fact that the team is at the forefront of PSL sales and needs to keep the fan base stoked adds pressure from the top. 2025 draft capital will be sacrificed.
  16. Choices that they’re legally allowed to make……..apparently.
  17. I think Beane will try to make a big trade up and that he’ll probably succeed. The difference at WR after the top three probably doesn’t warrant a move. If he can’t make a big move up then I think he’ll try to trade back. The feasibility of those trades is the big question.
  18. Somewhat related tidbit I heard in Central PA last weekend is that Terry Pegula recently met with Neeli Bendapudi, the president of Penn State, about filling their NIL coffers. He is already a huge donor to the university so it’s not a surprise.
  19. I have seen the Steelers named a very logical destination for Aiyuk. Need, cap space, draft capital and preferred AFC destination all line up. No inside info, just makes sense. Also I’d hate it, so it’ll probably happen.
  20. That would be a big overpay by SF. If they gave that much up they could move up higher than our pick. Or we’d likely have to send back a 4th.
  21. Seems like a nice, safe pick that will get some goodwill from the fans. Not coincidentally it appears that the team is for sale.
  22. Suamataia at 121. Wow.
  23. It doesn’t matter at all. A bunch of teams lie to a bunch players every year by telling them they’ll pick them at whatever pick. That talk is meaningless and is put out there to mislead other teams. Legette repeating it to reporters is just part of the game.
  24. I think choosing two is cheating. I’d take the long career. Most players’ careers are very short.
