  1. I would definitely trade Tim Graham for Christian McCaffrey. Definitely.
  2. I’d rather dip my wings in Coronavirus than ranch.
  3. Surprised he left a TE out of the equation. Well thought out though and even though there’s nothing “sexy” here, it does almost everything necessary. But not upgrading the skill positions with anything but mid-round picks to support Josh’s continued development is where I’d disagree. Failure to upgrade the teams continued biggest weakness just doesn’t seem “Beaney” at all. Not only do I think they’ll be in play for compliments at TE, but I think they’ll be focused on bringing in a big-bodied receiver. But as my wife continues to remind me, I’m way more wrong than right.
  4. I can now die happy having seen you return to your full glory! for all you; thanks for shoes
  5. Sheep wool powder and that rich, possibly coffee or wine producing soil are both gluten free. It’s like your health doesn’t even matter to you these days. And Fortnite dance offs are how my obliques look how they do. Chiseled from gold, mixed with the laughter of children. Its beach season Jay... and when you’re confident in your obliques, glutes and traps... you don’t care about the ills of society and what delicious “orphan Annie” inspired drinks are made of. so confident that you use apostrophes and Capital Letters as you damn well feel like it! sorry for yelling. ?
  6. Ugh... thanks for reaching through the screen and kicking my dog. ?
  7. Absolutely! The Miami game where he and Chambers went off, is as close as we’ll know to what that guy could do. But a chance to get Fletcher on a McD roster.... ? I’m surprised there aren’t more calls for Chris Kelsay..... ?
  8. London would be the guy for me. Lee is a close second. We have no idea what could have been with him. Unfortunate.
  9. How dare you sully the good names of Erik Flowers, Mike Williams, Aaron Maybin and John McCargo! Not everyone can be an elite “Chris Watson” caliber talent. These gentleman are just about ready to hit their strides! They just needed a decade or two...
  10. If there’s any validity to it, then it most likely would involve Donald, I would think. But it’s the Lions, so watch it be for Gurely...
  11. Not as bad as you think. I don’t agree with taking him over some of the other talent there, but this is a guy who has tremendous unknown upside that he really flashed late in his career. Injuries really hampered his production. He’s a big time sleeper, to crack the top 15, too. It’s a scientific fact that a steady diet consisting of Mock drafts and Ovaltine can help prevent erectile disfunction for those that reside in the pacific north west. Argue with science... I dare you, Jay.
  12. Great point, and absolutely you are correct. Overlapping concussions can be cumulative. And that’s why they’ve implemented testing that is light years beyond where they were even 5 years ago, to determine if there’s a great cause for concern, including Neuro-Psych, and the new (and WAAAAAY more thorough) baseline comparative testing that identifies markers. Also, adding the Neuro-Psych e v a l at both the Pro and collegiate levels gives team doctors early markers for things like depression, mild to severe CI and other cumulative symptoms that cause players to deteriorate. Its gonna be interesting seeing if a market develops for Reed. He’s a great kid and an immense talent, but nobody will take on the liability if his baseline testing shows any indicators.
  13. I rank Reagor beyond some of the talent you have listed in the top tier (and beyond any in the second tier). His potential is just off the charts. That’s just me though. If the Bills pass on trading up for a WR like JJ, and don’t take Viska, it comes down to Ruggs or Reagor for me. its probably a good thing that I’m not running the team though... ? Me too!!!
  14. There was a study in either 2011 or 12, where 75% of the league reported they were doing pre-game IVs for players with a B compound/ electrolyte solution. This, in addition to halftime and post-game. I think I remember the IV was very similar to what you’re describing. Not sure if it’s still common practice but most of the league does it to avoid dehydration issues.
  15. Seems like overwhelming concern here. But it’s important to understand there’s different degrees of concussions, so without knowing the severity or the ongoing symptoms he had for 6 months, there’s no telling. For example, migraines, photosensitivity, tinnitus are all examples of post-concussion symptoms that if a player reports, will keep them from getting cleared. I think his being honest with the medical staff about some of the lingering things shows he has enough good sense and concern for himself to make a sound decision. Also and this is really important, today’s neurological presence and advancements in the NFL will not permit players to easily be activated from protocol. There’s an impartiality to the process that even Dan Snyder can’t manipulate. It’s easy to see 7 concussions and react, but there’s just so much that’s weighed when reviewing the degree and severity of an injury that doesn’t show up on scans. The real measure of concern will be known once we see who takes a flier. The Bills have already been mentioned as a possibility, given the Olsen attempt. You’ll know teams share the same concerns, if he’s not signed or at least, worked out. But I wouldn’t vilify any him or any team signing him, if their medical staff clears him. also....Aside from Cincy and NYJ, the Redskins have one of the more questionable medical teams in the business and have come under fire recently. If he had been dishonest and prematurely passed, all that is “3rd party”, would be gone and he’d be in the team’s hands. Speaking with folks in that area, JR did everything the right way at the behest of the 3rd party and not the team’s medical staff. I’m hopeful more will come to light about this once he moves on, too. The Redskins are notorious for rushing players back and you’re starting to see players coming forward. That’s exactly why INC’s have been assigned. The team physician I believe cleared him, but the dedicated INC did not, which landed him on IR. If he passes the cognitive assessments (which he has fully) and a team signs him, more power to him.
  16. How dare the Burrow family insult the fine institution that is today’s media. Their integrity should be beyond reproach! Except for Tim Graham. Because pfffffttt....
  17. I think it’s only a matter of experience. He just wasn’t used as a receiver in college and if you watch him on the majority of his drops, his eyes just aren’t on the ball. They’re always looking upfield in anticipation. That should be pretty easy to coach up. Similar issues with OJ Howard, only he won’t be coached to correct it in Arians offense, because.... well... Bruce Arians....
  18. Not after next week, unfortunately. He’s very likely going to blow up the combine and go even higher than expected. But it would be a huge get if it fell that way. The Pats getting Viska hurts though.
  19. Agree 100%! If the right guy is willing to come to Buffalo and fits the defense and culture, I think Beane’s proven he’ll make a strong, concerted effort. I can imagine the Bills will be more active in trade discussions this year, too. Players that had tough situations last year, leading to coaching turnover (or hot seat talk) would be ideal. Cleveland and Atlanta come to mind. Dallas has a few as well. It all depends on how close they think we REALLY are though. I think we’ll learn a lot about Beane this offseason as he looks to make his mark.
  20. I agree an edge guy has to be top of mind. But I think they’ll be players in FA for one. I think Beane thinks we’re closer than he’s letting on. I’m not a big “mock” fan, but this could be the year that Buffalo grabs a top FA (or two) and trades up for their guy if they feel they’re “there”. Probably just hopeless optimism on my part, but we’ll see. March and April can’t get here fast enough.
  21. Interesting, but I just don’t see it. Maybe mid-round, but the Bills trying to bring in Vets so early tells me they are more interested in veteran influence to help the young guys grow. I think if they trade, it’s for a complete WR they absolutely covet, like Jeudy. TE is such a hard position to get starter production from these days. But nothing’s impossible! ?
  22. I don’t think he makes it out of the top 10, unfortunately (especially after the combine). But he’s a freak and yes, a permanent captain (#18).
  23. I think it’s more an impasse between Slay and the brass there. He thinks he should be the top paid CB and they don’t think he’s played close to that level (which most agree). Good corner, but his opinion of himself outweighs reality in my opinion.
  24. 2003, thanks to Matt “the dentist” Mauck. #18 in their program stands for success. Character both on and off the field.
  25. Tee Higgins has a 46” waist. Draw your own conclusions.
