Judging by the buzz on him, he's not going to be available in a drop down. He might not even be there at 9.

Feels like Hock. There have been several mentions from McBeane on the importance of a TE, especially for a young QB. They saw Greg Olsen up close with Cam in Carolina. Daboll saw how Brady used Gronk as his security blanket. If he's there at 9 I think they run the card in then the draft starts after that for us. I don't believe any of the olinemen have separated vs what'll be available at 40 and an argument could be made the same is true for the DL depending on who is there.

Probably play Edmunds at DE

I understand reasons not to trade for him, the primary being potentially wrecking the development of our Josh. But to claim he'd be one of the highest paid backups in the league is just wrong. Trading for him means Arizona eats the cap hit on his bonus money and the acquiring team would be left paying him about $2 mil per year over the next 3 years.

I think the Murray thing is only happening because of Baker. Had Baker busted or had Murray been a year in front of him instead of a year behind him I don't think there's any consideration for top 5, much less #1.

If you think the coach was flipping out on him over a jacket, you are a moron.

HE WAS WEARING A COAT ON THE SIDELINES, CLEARLY NOT A PROCESS GUY!!!

This screams Elway. Raiders take Haskins at 4 with the plan to keep Carr for a year (his dead money falls off a cliff next year, making it very easy for them to move on from him). Then Elways freaks and trades up to 5 in front of the Giants to get Lock.

That's the strategy I like. Take BPA defensive front 7 at 9 then move back up to make sure to get a guy like Metcalf / Hockenson / Fant or one of the OTs.

Yes

Here for the reactionary "This proves he's not a process guy!" posts.

Realistically, if the price is a 3rd rounder like it's rumored to be, I'd bring him in here. With Allen's play style, I'm worried about him missing games, Rosen would be on a cheap contract, worst case he's strictly the backup for 2 years and we flip him for something else.

Oliver / Simmons is my favorite.

That sells it, I really hope we draft Nick Bosa!

I disagree on the last point. Schefter, usually Rappaport, in NBA Woj, etc do a tremendous job on confirmation. There's a reason they can be believed 99.9% of the time. It's pretty clear Rappaport got some bad intel on the Antonio Brown thing, but that situation could easily be explained as a source thought the deal was done, once the Bills talked to AB they pulled out and the spin is it never got that far.

I do taxes. It's 2018 until April 15th.

Problem is in 2018 there's very little value add in the traditional "beat reporter" role. Someone is almost always going to beat you to a "scoop" on twitter. And ESPN doesn't treat him as a traditional beat reporter, they use the staff in those roles for all kinds of "editoralized" content for season previews, draft reviews, whatever else. More often than not ESPN's take on something the Bills have done is negative, and he's the voice in the room as the representative. In fairness to Mike, the team has made it very easy to be negative.

I've seen plenty of "professionals" responding to comments pointing out how many followers the commentor has...

With the Raiders and Gruden at 4 anything is possible. I do tend to think the Giants really want Haskins but might be elbowed out. If Murray goes 1 and the Niners aren't willing to take 6 + whatever to pass on Bosa or Williams, the Jets refusing to deal with the Giants and taking whoever is left from Bosa / Williams or Allen and the Raiders taking Haskins at 4. If one of Denver / Miami / Washington / maybe even Cincy falls in love with Lock or even Jones, Tampa at #5 could be a really hot trade spot with someone looking to jump the Giants.

I think it's pretty clear a year later the vast majority of teams had Baker / Darnold / Allen as 1 - 2 - 3 in some order on their boards and the "Chosen Rosen" narrative along with the "Josh Allen is a sure bust" was largely a media creation. IMO most, if not all, teams had Rosen as a distant 4th. There were 3 "prizes" and the Jets moving to 3 assured they would get one.

This is worst case draft scenario and completely realistic. 1 QB top 8. 3 TEs top 19. The top defensive players (outside of maybe Oliver) flying off the board. Yuck.

MLB is far from the most important position on the D.

Rodak is a Pats fan covering the Bills because ESPN could not care less about giving the Bills quality coverage, simple as that. If he's "playing the troll" he's been doing it since day 1. It's always seemed he believes covering the Bills is beneath him.

It's pretty funny it seems the Patriots top FA WR targets were Cole and Adam Humphries.
