Metcalf has the most potential of any wr in the draft. He can make the 50/50 catches like Harry, Butler, Whiteside but also has the ability to run past defenders and get seperation where the others struggle.

I'm very cautious of D-lineman from Clemson and Alabama. A top 10 Dlineman needs to be a game changer if you draft them that high. The talent on the overall line enhances the production of each individual. Hard to say who benefits more with playing with each other.

Is this why we had to dump quality players and suffer through another losing season gaining 90 mil in cap space to trade 1/6 of it for a day 2 draft pick? Really?
I expect them to bring in alot of new guys in FA. Will it add up to 40, 50, 60,70, 80 mil? Spend under 60 to 50 mil in cap hit Bortles is a legitimate move still a decent offseason and now are armed with another top 40 to 60 pick.

Imo many draftnicks and sights can't easily evaluate Wrs. D-line is easy because the the standard tv view you can see guys getting up field easily. You are not seeing the wrs run the routes. Just making catches. The best wr in this draft will be a better player then the 4th or 5th dlineman. That's what the sights are saying. I would argue the increased use of the spread and 2 point stances by many olines has skewed the evaluation of dline play in college and how it translates to the NFL.

With my not so trained eye he reminds me a bit of Randy Moss with his long strides and ability to seperate and run past guys. The only other guy in the draft who eats up coverage and runs past defenders consistantly is Marquis Brown. Brown is 5'10 175 Metcalf is 6'4 215, That's what makes him so intriguing. With Allen strengths as a passer an elite deep threat would be high on my offseason wants list. He runs 4 4 and looks smooth he places himself in consideration at 9.

If Buffalo misses out on their prize FA targets I wouldn't hate it. If Jax is as cap scrap as I assume it's a logical was to eat some cap space and get a pick out of it. Basically, cut him and eat the cap hit for a day 2 pick.
-
With the amount of underclassmen declaring I would draft two on day two or three. The talent behind McCoy is poor. You can find talent in rd 3 and 4. A first rd pick for a guy with limited production behind the best line in college seems steep.
-
He was a polarizing prospect as any from the last 10 years. Imo you take risks on talent. Allen has all the ability in the world. If he continues to work at it he has the ability to be a franchise Qb. Put some more weapons around him, and some better protection I think he can make massive strides towards fulfilling that going into 2019.

Marquise Brown is very intriguing to me. He could be a tyreek Hill type deep threat, with more developed Wr skills. Has NFL bloodlines. His cousin is Antonio Brown and is working out with him. Allen's ability to attack any part of the field makes having a guy like brown a premium. The big open even when not open guy will be there in rd 2 or 3. Rd 1 take elite athleticism.

Hmmm...which team does Hunt sign with: Chicago or Buffalo. Really hard choice...not. This thread is just fantasy for the posters here.
EDIT:
Why can't I vote in the poll?
Who will pay more money? Who has 2 RBS and who has a bigger need? Howard, and Cohen are the best 1,2 punch in football. I dont see them being big players on Hunt.
-
Nope just need your defense to make a play. It's still a team game. If you allow the team to drive down the field 75 yards and score a touchdown you deserved to lose.

Disagree, look at the responses here. He is good at football, if the leagues gives him a chance to come back, someone will bring him back and will soon it as them evaluating him as a person who became remorseful, sought help, and deserves another chance, until he does it again....
The Redskins jumped on claiming a guy going into his 3rd chance because he was good.
It also helps that he is young and in his prime. Rice would have been brought back if it all happened when he was in his prime. Unfortunately for him, he was older and looking like he was starting to decline.
The video wasnt bad though. Mixon KO'd a white chick in college. Ray Rice KO'd his wife. Hunt really didn't harm the women in a similar fashion to the other to.

This take is inaccurate.
Which part? Lack of production, lack of Dominance. If he wasnt the former #1 recruit in the country would he be a top 10 pick? I think it's easy to watch a game and notice the guy on the line constantly behind the line of scrimmage. Not as easy seeing a guy running routes and getting seperation on plays away from the ball.
-
The old saying looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. He has all the athletic ability but was never dominate to warrant a top 10 pick.
The fact this guy is a top 10 pick and non of the Wrs are rated that high is comically inaccurate imo.

Id like to see Edmunds as an OLB and at times on the line.
Agree. I think they were right though to have him strictly play Mike as a 20 year old rookie. Let him learn and try to master the position before moving him around. I haven't seen much of it but him as an edge Blitzer may be as good as his pass defense. He is so good in coverage you dont want to take alot away from that, but depending on down and distance have him rushing the passer makes alot of sense.

So you want to give up a 1 (and maybe more), absorb the cap hit, and have a potential jerk in the locker room? Also, he is on the wrong side of 30. The only one who would win is the Steelers, the way I see it. Count me out on this one.
Yep. Rules in place protect wrs. His work ethic is second to none. To become a contender you need elite players. Alot of elite players have egos. They are not saving the Manatees, they are trying to build a Championship caliber team. I think Buffalo has a qb that matches Browns ability. He is a great deep threat, makes contested catches in tight coverage. I expect Brown to have 3 more seasons of top play. Would rather pay Brown top money than over pay for a middle of the road Wr in FA. Terms I would be comfortable with 9 for Brown and a day 2 pick back. Prefer brown swap firsts with our pick being top 10. Probably though 9 and get their 2nd if I had to I would take their 3rd. Same number of picks, essentially trading down and getting brown in return.

True that.
You should make T-shirts or write fortune cookies
I was thinking about something to say vs all the assumed Carolina connection. But I know nothing about the guy and who here really knows anything in regards to who is a good position coach?

Can Allen get him the ball enough? Yes. If he is the most productive Wr on the team and one of the best in the league will he be an issue? I dont think he will be. Is there an offensive weapon at 9 worth taking? No. Ab and a 2nd for 9. Biggest hole filled. At some point you need guys who are better players than the other teams. Allens youthful leadership and McDermotts no nonsense approach may be the right combo for Brown. You have to 100% discuss it and make an effort for it. Ab, a FA wr and Te opens the whole draft up for Buffalo. They are making a football team not s bible study group. He will be motivated to prove Pits wrong, and show he is not a product of Roethlisberger. Many here felt the same way about Shady and To before they got here. Both were nothing but professionals here.

Why not?
To me McCoy lacked his first step and acceleration. I do blame his yards per carry and lack of yards on the poor line play. He got caught from behind by d lineman more than years past. His cutbacks against the grain seemed more laboring as well. Maybe he had an injury that was unreported but he looked off on the occassions he was in space.

17 million a year is not "kicking the tires"...
I understand the investment, but before he signs you still interview him as much as he interviews you.

He was top 5 a year ago. He had one of the fastest TD runs at 20 MPH. What part of our line sucks do you not understand. There isnt a RB in the league that could have got 1000 behind that line.
I hear ya. I dont think he will be a top 10 Rb in 2019. He is paid as one.

Well, in that case 1 Bills Drive had better obey or you will take to the internet and complain.
McCoy has already earned that contract in my opinion.
I think its hard to evaluate a RB behind one of the wurst Olines in the NFL.
I could be wrong though.?
Meh, I dont look at it as earned. Its cost vs production. Is he producing as a top 10 rb? Does he have the potential to be one again? No and a big maybe because he led us to the playoffs? His first step, and burst was noticeably missing all year.

How anyone can look at the rookie RBs who are eating up the NFL this year and say we should invest in bad seed Bell is beyond mystifying.
Money= need + availability. He is really the only game changing player available on offense. Instead of overpaying for an average guard, signing an all-pro still in his prime is not terrible. He would have alot to prove in meeting and such before signing, but I would kick the tires.

Whenever there is 3 plus lineman drafted off the same dline it is dicey at best projecting who will be the best at the next level. I dont care what school. They are awarded more 1 on 1 match ups that many other players with similar grades were not rewarded. Doesnt mean they wont be successful but it's a risk for a top 10 pick.
