Agreed. He obviously way overreacted to the situation, but the fact of the matter is that the woman attacked his head/face/neck area while his hands were in his pockets. The single punch he threw looked reactive, not premeditated or aggressive - and he didn't follow that with any further punches/kicks/etc. Still, he wasn't in any real danger and to fracture four bones in the woman's face was way, way, way past reasonable defense/reaction. That's definitely a real issue, but it's not the issue some are trying to portray. Reasonably I think he goes late 3rd, early 4th. He has Steelers or Patriots comp pick written all over him.

Literally no one said Dak was anything like Tebow. Not one writer. Dak was in a special scenario where he could excel. That O-line was easily the best in the NFL and it regularly gave him a ton of time. Zeke took pressure off of him by being a top back and then there's Witten, Dez and the rest of the skill players on offense. Dak is not nearly that successful anywhere else.

Thank God. About time the NFL took a stand on the important issues.

As for Trubisky, I pass on him. The more I see of him, the less I like him. I just see a lot of wishful thinking. I don't even see the raw talent of several other QBs. He'll probably go fairly early in this draft, but it'll be a mistake by the team that takes him. Just my 2¢. LOL. I fully acknowledge that I could be wrong and you could be right on Trubisky. I can't get past his throwing motion. I can't want a QB with that. I just see too many potential issues there for 10th overall.

I don't want him even more after hearing this.

The major problem your trades is that they are unrealistic. Teams would move up further if that's what they'd be willing to give up. Cleveland should be able to get to 4 with the package you suggest. Some team picking between 4 and 9 would make that deal before it got to Buffalo at 10.

Thanks! Gilmore is worth his contract to a team that'll use him in the right scheme where he can press and have help over top (like Cover 2). Woods is, well, a pretty big projection. It's been said repeatedly here that Watkins would have much better stats if the Bills passed more. Well, the Rams are gambling that such is the case with Woods. He certainly seems competent, but he's definitely getting paid above that level now.

Top 10: 1. QB 2. WR2 4. CB1 3. RT 4. S 5. CB3 6. WR3 7. TE 8. DT 9. LB 10. OG

Thanks! Good point on the value of the signing the Bills did make.

It probably makes sense in the context of McD's predominantly Cover 3 scheme to not spend big on CBs. From a difference maker standpoint we lost one in Gilmore and didn't replace him with another player of that caliber. The Hyde signing was our best get in FA. He rates between Gilmore and Woods. Beyond that it's mostly depth and stopgap players. Still, they'll be some of this sort of thing when a new scheme is implemented and the cap is pretty tight. Definitely some holes left to fill, but Whaley did a good job for the situation he (at least partially) put himself in.

I agree. There's different ways to look at the question. Biggest bust? Williams. He's a guy that was supposed to be great, but never amounted to anything in the NFL. Then there are WTF?!?! moments. Maybin. That was just a stupid pick. Also Whitner deserves an honorable mention if we are talking about reaches. I can blast the Bills for the last two, but they just got unlucky with Williams. That at least made sense when it happened.

Sure would be a nice bonus if Listenbee panned out.

The big FA money is gone. There are dozens of players that were expecting a big payday, but didn't get it. Now they have to come to terms with the lesser offers that are still out there.

I'm thinking 5-7 wins

Decent player. He's a better guard than tackle, but he wants to play right tackle which carries a premium on pay. He'd definitely be an upgrade over Mills.

Hooker or Adams over Davis per the question as asked. I skipped them because they won't be there at 10.

Anyone pining for Bryant or Gordon has no business complaining about Dareus.

A real possibility. He's going to go a lot higher than many think.

Jon Allen by virtue of him being the best player available. Corey Davis would be my alternate, depending upon Allen's medicals.

I'd be surprised if CB were in the mix. McD's Cover 3 doesn't require a big investment in the position. No need to go after a CB to play bail at 10.

We need help at TE. OJ Howard could certainly be that help, but in this deep of a draft at TE I'm not sure I go that route at 10.

QBs with less powerful arms need elite accuracy to compensate. Brees and Montana certainly have/had that. Watson does not at this point in time. It's actually more of a concern with him. Like any other attribute, one thing doesn't determine the success or failure of a player. Certain attributes don't improve a player's chance of success if they are well above the accepted minimum threshold - velocity is one of those. But in a case where a player lacks in one important area it can prevent his success. That's the concern here.

That shouldn't make me laugh EVERY time you do it, but it does.

Just happened. Severe lower leg injury. Hope he recovers. Stephen Cohen‏Verified account @ scohenPI 29m 29 minutes ago Washington CB Sidney Jones, consensus first-round NFL draft prospect, leaves pro day on a cart after suffering apparent left leg injury.
