You are relentless, aren't you? Points for consistency. Gotta ding you for being a real effing bummer, though.

What a childishly limited perspective. Sounds painful.

Have a shot of bleach. Cheers! Bills up soon...

Again, your empathy is overwhelming. You'll be okay despite being reminded of reality. Enjoy the draft!

Take it easy, you science geek. It's a thing. A real thing.

Heath nut.

Oh...that's not what I'm seeing on the TV already?

Well, not...literally literally.

May I ask what EDGE players have to do with Milano's contract?

I guess technically you could don a mask and watch from afar. Just sayin. Big gloves.

Also, sarcasm should be funny. And not so drawn out. And actually sarcasm.

Is this real life?

They forgot the asterisks?

Sure, I don't think Beane would mind this at all either if a 1st round LB and a 1st round RB can be had in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, respectively! But it seems unlikely, innit? I've had similar hauls in mocks lately, and while fun to play around with, we have to recognize that these players will almost 100% be gone LONG before 54 and 86. Heck, they might both go in the top 20 based on production plus testing (Taylor seems less likely).

That's unfortunately true, to my eyes.

Certainly sounds like McDermott's defensive philosophy, even though you'd take a very different route with respect to personnel and alignment. Reads right to me. Thanks for taking the time. Might not be relevant, but (in keeping it Bills related) I'm oddly reminded of Jauron's defenses here, and how--while mostly mediocre--they actually gave vintage Manning and the Colts trouble on the road, playing that measured, conservative coverage-based scheme. The vaunted Cover-2/Tampa-2: keep everything in front of you. Rangy middle linebacker and dynamic safeties, zone-heavy CBs with eyes in the backfield, four down-linemen...I mean, not when the Bills ran it. But ideally.

I'd respectfully LOVE to read a succinct summary of the blueprint to defensing spread offenses. If you have a few minutes. Truly. I'm a nerd for NFL game-planning: schemes, formations, personnel packages, play calling...all of it. I know how defenses attacked the Bills' spread offense last year, but I don't think that's (cover-0 pressure) accepted as "best practice" league-wide...

Ooh...what kind of island?

For what it's worth (and trust me, it ain't worth jack poop), Chaisson fell to the Bills in a mock draft simulation (https://thedraftnetwork.com/mock-draft-machine) I ran late the other night. The sports withdrawal is real.

That's the spirit.

Oh boy. That's not right at all. That's called PERPENDICULAR.

The Harmon drop is in fact my first really clear emotional connection to the Bills specifically. I was into sports earlier than that season/that play, but I remember instead an assortment of connections to successful and popular teams in the mid-eighties, like the '85 Bears, the '86 Mets, the Broncos and 49ers, and in-person the Sabres-vs-Bruins bloodbaths in the Aud that scared the poop out of ten-ish year old me. That Bills game, and that finish, was my first Bills scar. Extended family members were spitting mad. Those Sicilians...

I mean...that particular drill DOES look effing useless. About as useless as David Carr's analysis. And like Carr himself said: "two things can be true."

Yeah, well, they kinda DID lose that game in terrible, deflating fashion. Only to be bailed out by the refs. I watched the play that lost them the game. It happened. I don't hate this argument. I don't hate it at all.

Maybe this post violates the rules of engagement on a thread like this one, BUT: does anyone else think, and maybe it's been discussed in the first 20 pages I didn't pour over or even acknowledge until quarantine finally broke me, but...is Miami's first pick a bit bonkers? They ignore QB when everyone but Burrow has fallen to them at #5?! That seems crazy by mainstream standards. And I hate it. I don't want them to build a solid roster from top-to-bottom. I want them to swing and miss on an early QB, or at least spend years determining if a young QB is the right guy. Tua doesn't scare me in the pros. Please take Tua.
