  1. Without seeing which players are available, you aren't going to make trade deals prior to the draft. The #1 and #2 might be up for bid when a QB is a must, but that doesn't happen a ton.
  2. I think Allen or Lattimore would be the picks if they were available at 10, but I can't lose sleep over Davis either. You have a premier sliding to the late teens, and a shocker pick late in the 1st (Webb), so I like it. Need to get out of the Kiper/McShay mold if you really want to stand a chance at being accurate.
  3. Well then, I guess it's McCaffery at 10!
  4. Come for the tailgate table smashing. Stay for the game.
  5. He's an excellent prospect. The only real knock on him is that he's not very powerful, but that has never been his game. His ability to sidestep/juke guys is pretty ridiculous. But come on, he is not the missing piece in Buffalo. Not even close. It would be pretty cool if he ended up in Denver. There is mutual interest, but they would likely need to trade up to get him.
  6. I'd love to see Shaq put 8-12 up, but that's banking on potential, and frankly, Garrett has way more than he ever did.
  7. I have to chuckle, because nearly every scouting report talks about his "elite" and "rare" explosiveness off the ball in the first sentence. Clearly that is showing up on tape.
  8. Am I missing something where 6'4", 272 isn't big enough to play 43 DE/ 34 OLB? He's not going to be drafted as a 34 DE. If you want to poke holes in Garretts game, go right ahead, but if he failed in the league, it wouldn't be because of his size or strength.
  9. It's not the first time the Browns got tricky
  10. Perhaps its somehow tied to what they do with their 12th pick. Sashi and company want to stay at 12 and hope Mitch is there, owner wants them to move up so Jesters and Bills don't grab him. They could be hedging their bets for someone to call them requesting a trade at 12 in the event Mitch goes early. They should be tarred and feathered if they pass on Garrett.
  11. Mrs and I would love to fly back to town for the Denver game!
  12. The failing Two Bills Drive is full of fake news! Misrepresenting a young man, SAD!
  13. My bad, Elma is clearly cosmopolitan in 2017. Things have changed in the 8 years since I left. The farm action is closer to Marilla anyway.
  14. I wasn't aware electric fences were still a thing, but it's Elma after all...
  15. I am optimistic and hopeful that one of the top corners, safeties or defensive tackles slide in the draft. It would be very strange for a run on those positions to happen early. Looking at the history of the drafts, those positions usually do not go high. This does seem like one of the hardest top 10s to figure out, but I think between Hooker, Adams, Lattimore or Allen, one of those guys will slide, and we can our pick of the litter.
  16. Shady is an established All Pro and our best player. Chad is a nobody that wouldn't be on our radar if his last name was Smith.
  17. When you talk about him and the "tragic" story, the football potential he threw away, blah, blah, blah, he is winning. Dude murdered at least one person and destroy families lives. He should get zero attention.
  18. Counting on a former player with no coaching experience and who isn't staff to "sort him out"?. Talk about too many cooks in the kitchen. I think if you draft Chad, you have to take Jim completely out of it. Frankly, he has nothing to do with the decision. I can't think of a late round pick on any team that would face more public pressure than Chad in Buffalo. I don't think anyone could survive in the environment, let alone someone with a long history of off the field errors.
  19. The best QB grade in 6 years, but he's a late round prospect who may not be drafted. These things just don't add up.
  20. If I was born and raised in Long Beach, I would say the same thing.
  21. Yes, it is. It's certainly gone down a rabbit hole. Please Sammy, catch a few 70 yards TDs to shut me and Kirby up!
  22. I think gross production can be fine, there are dozens of metrics that could be considered a "standard stat". Advanced stats that inflate or project across an entire season do bug me. You can't just double the the targets and get double the output. The NFL has so many variables that I just don't think it's that simple. He will never see double the targets in a run heavy offense. Now, as I previously mentioned, the quality of opportunities should be much higher than what many WRs are used to, assuming that our run game is setting up a very strong play action game. DT and Sanders in the Kubiak/Dennyson offense both had their numbers fall across the board. Some of that can be blamed on poor QB play, but you have to put some blame on the scheme. Despite having the best WR combo in the league, they focused their energies on getting a run game jump started that never took off. Their play action game was a joke, and the passing game thoroughly missed the WR screens and deep balls that both of those guys have excelled at. We do have a run game in place, so it will be interesting if their offense can be more effective here. I have never claimed its a simple as yards, that would be too easy to rank 'em that way, but yards are certainly not a throwaway number. I imagine that we'll never come to a consensus on even 5 key stats that determine the effectiveness of a WR.
