we don't do that?

right. And how many people you think at a bills game will subject themselves to a breath test? LOL And lets just say for ***** sakes that is what they did? So maybe at the most 5% of 60k agree to it? Do you think that maybe 5% (3,000 people) that did it represents enough of the people for it to be accurate? and do you think even after that, if they did it say half the games that it represents a sure accurate number? come on man... lol And can you imagine the costs of doing a vast amount of breath tests would be?

so I agree and disagree with this statement. FA IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE FOR NEED! that is a captain obvious statement. But one could argue the Diggs move was long term building. Some times you don't just get fa for short term thus your statement is a mixed bag. How drafting is done, is a mix of 1. need, 2. talent and then how the cookies crumble to your pick. My statement below explains it the best. If you think our needs are not important to how we or teams draft then your nuts.

seriously.... there is no way as a whole they could prove or deny these numbers... they maybe asked what 1000 people what they think there alc. content was? this is so beyond stupid....

I think it would be sad if this topic did not make it 10 pages.

I think its funny that this gets brought up over and over again this offseason when early season last year I argued that this team is not the most talented complete team in football and i got dumped on.

I am pretty sure that is what doc just said lol

yep I been saying it for a long time and people don't get it. What BPA really means is Valued need.

right now? of course!!! but you add a dude line Henrry to this line up (not to say it would even remotely happen) Both players are going to make an OL way better then how they really are. This cant really be argued can it?

I would argue that a dude named Derrik Henry way more often than not, gets the first player to miss thus making an OL look much better than it really is. BPA at Value sums it up perfectly. well said.

sigh. this conversation comes up every year around this time. 1. You have a set of positions of need and a rank for how high the need is 2. Your draft nominees have your own GM ranking system that is ranked by talent. 3. When the draft pick comes they look at their needs and look at what is left in the draft talent wise for the position. So. GM has a set of ranks for potential draft picks and a set of ranks where they need players. Then they choose by what is the best talented player for their top few needs. Another words.. IF the GM's needs in this order are WR, OL, HB (just as an example) and the most talented by far player left is a HB, then they will choose HB. If HB is BPA (Best Player Available) to their needs, but OL is a very close second and OL is a much higher scaled need? Then they will do a slight "reach" to get their need because the talented player levels are close enough to do so. None of has have a CLUE what our GM and HC draft philosophies are other than... we have a defensive minded HC. Another words.. BPA is a real thing, yet it is not as simple as that.

preach on MJS

2021 he was out half of the season with injury 2022 he was with a team that he was top WR on a team that DID NOT PASS MUCH... Ten. If we going to slam the guy... lets at least get all the info left. I trust this coaching to know if a guy is washed up or not. Comes back home to a low contract YES absolutely. The dude going to play like he needs to prove something....

the biggest, fattest and most mobile OL Man we can get. Might look something like this.

2008 Beasley pick 2 round 1

i doubt 2/3rds of these choices make it to 27 no disrespect towards OP but that is the issue

I think Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be off the board by the time we get to him sadly. after that, I go by who I think has the highest ceiling. O’Cyrus Torrence G, our eventual Center maybe.

I might of misread another article. My bad if i am wrong

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/02/21/matt-araiza-not-signing-with-mexican-team-after-all/

then again maybe not. he did not sign with mexico Edited: I thought I read somewhere that he was done with football. cant find it now so obviously i was wrong

crickets thumbs up

have to hope our younger guys continue to improve.

Chaos, your title to this thread is kind of an oxymoron (and no, I am not calling you that lol) Saying a draft pick will replace Edmunds is like using a crystal ball. The draft is a crap shoot. Could be better, worse or the same and to each extreme. This player has the potential yep, I will agree. BUT!!! I would never use "Suitable Edmunds Replacements in the draft" on any player replacing Edmunds because Edmunds is far from the best and much further from backup caliber. You never know in the draft. I LIKE THE PICK THOUGH

now this I can get behind nice post Run.

I 100% agree with this message.
