No, just correcting people like Alpha guy who insist their crappy mock draft from February was the same as an NFL team's draft board!

Patrick Mahomes is Kansas City-bound after the Chiefs engineered a trade with the Bills to take him at No. 10 overall, which means he'll likely spend the coming season learning from Alex Smith. But it turns out Mahomes was oh so close to being bound for northern New Jersey to spend the coming season learning from Eli Manning. ESPN's Anita Marks reported Friday that the Giants tried to trade up for Mahomes, but ultimately failed in that endeavor. Now, the Giants are "very upset." http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/report-the-very-upset-giants-tried-to-trade-up-for-patrick-mahomes/

I am not here to discuss random defense stats. Someone said defense needed to be average next year in points per game when it already was.

The defense was 16th in PPG. That's pretty average.

It's called a Good Old Boys Club.

Pegullibles.

That Giants team that beat the Bills held Joe Montana and Jerry Rice in their prime to 13 points.

The most plausible version is that the Pegulas fell for Sean. Once that happened they decided to hand over the keys to Sean. The press conferences were a Buffalo News obsession.

Ragland what? Won't even be able to play the mike. Maybe can play outside for two downs. Ragland playing the mike would be a way to tank.

Which doesn't match the facts uncovered by the Buffalo News as far as timeline.

Yeah, sounds like a narrative coming from Brandon's boys.

Bills signing Ray Lewis or Lawrence Taylor in their prime?

Thank you.

Houston gave up 2 1st round picks for Watson. I would trade TT in a heartbeat for a similar haul.

Actually, we don't know that the Bills didn't like anyone in the class. The Bills scouts and Whaley put in the work but it was up to Sean McDermott to decide who he wanted. All we know is that Sean didn't want a QB, not if that QB had a high draft grade on the Bills board.

Yes. Then I trade Watson for high draft picks and start Foles or Siemian who I acquire with a lesser pick.

Cooper Kupp.

Polian liked Marrone and Mcdermott has a similar personality.

Yeah, just don't do them.

Well, can you apply for the GM position? We need someone more creative working with Sean.

INTJ is Belichick.

If the roster was talented then why did every scout and Whaley get fired? Just trying to understand what people are saying now.

Players age and players leave. You need to draft well to maintain or improve. My assessment is that our roster's defense peaked in 2014 and offense was 2015. Both are now worse and heading down.

My point is not that a Coach draft can't work. A coach draft will get high draft grades from TV pundits. A coach draft will help the coach that year. But the problem with this approach is that eventually the talent will be less as other players age. Bills already had a roster in decline. I see this as bringing them down within 2 years.

I said before the draft if we were going to just fill needs we should trade back from ten as players in the 20s similar to what was at ten. McDermott was taking Lattimore at ten. He gets teams calling for Mahomes and figures he can get a similar player and an extra pick to fill needs next year. Trades back and takes...a corner. Then gives away picks to get a possession WR and RT to check off more needs. Everything I said about McDermott happened. It fits together perfectly. Even the QB drafted was a coach pick.
