They traded Cordy Glenn and swapped a 5th for a 6th.

I think Beane is being somewhat honest when he says they aren't/weren't planning to move up. They seem to have a value system that is formed through conversations between front office personnel, and they will stick to that value system over any overarching plan to take one route or another. i.e, they will trade up only if they feel that they are getting better value than what they are giving up. They have a ton of options as to how to handle this.

And he improved significantly with time. He especially keeps his eyes downfield longer than he did in 2016, and is a bit less prone to scrambling. His mechanics are very correctable. A lot of good things to work with.

I don't really think the fan opinions matter at all to be honest.

He actually has pretty good touch on his passes. The consistency with his accuracy could be greatly improved with targeted modifications to his throwing base. He is not a top 5 pick kind of prospect, but I think he worth a mid-late 1st round flyer.

Lamar has physical tools that Tyrod didn't have. He is larger and longer.

Word is Gettleman is actually there in person and is riding Beane around the room and making him whinny like a pony. Beane is doing everything he can not to get fired by the end of the day. So many Bills fans to appease, so little time.

Don't be too sure of that. He definitely doesn't hold the value of the top prospects, but he has a ton of potential.

And a lot of us thought it would take something roughly in line with the Eagles trade or the draft value charts. Now it is as clear as day that the picks are valued significantly above Goff/Wentz. That is new information.

I think he will definitely make it to 12. I guess now that you mention it it wouldn't be the biggest surprise ever if someone took him higher than that.

I think the Bills will need to trade up from 22 if they want to get both Jackson and a top LB prospect.

It is definitely a choice. You never handicap yourself into a corner. The Jets just blew up the market for the top picks. We are way beyond what the Eagles gave up in value to get Wentz. I have been a proponent of trading up, but things have changed dramatically now.

Tre White is one of the only top-end franchise value players that the Bills have. CB is one of those positions that needs a cornerstone player, that is worth a massive contract. We have a young, top-end performer on a cheap rookie deal. In the NFL, you don't trade those types of players for picks.

Why?

They both tend to hold the ball too long and rely on the scramble to make up for slow progressions.

Rosen won't get past 2. I'm not sure it matters who the team that makes the pick is. I think moves like trading Watkins and Glenn were the smart thing to do whether there was a master plan to trade up or not. Watkins wasn't deemed good enough to use the franchise tag on, and the Rams let him go to the highest bidder.

Maybe. At best. I don't doubt that the Giants are trying to win with Manning until he retires or his ability falls off a cliff (which could happen at any point). But they aren't likely to pick at #2 again, and NFL franchises have a longer horizon than one or two years.

Eli Manning is 37

Yeah that makes sense to me. I think it will be 1. Darnold 2. Rosen 3. Mayfield 4. Barkley Bills will miss out on this class or find a way to get Allen.

Something tells me if the Giants were trying to trade out of #2, the Jets would have aimed for that. I have a strong feeling that the Giants are taking a QB.

Trust the Process

Facts and opinions don't mix. That's why there is a different word to distinguish them from one another. I for one like my opinions to be as uneducated and as far from the truth as possible. An opinion based purely on emotion and perception is ideal.

I don't see what difference that makes!

Now hopefully the peanuts part is true as well. Just adds icing to the cake. Mmmm cake

Right? He could do much better with those sultry shoulders and head-turning hairline.
