    I love the kid being a Bill and if he wouldn't have been there by our 2nd pick, I like it even more. According to the pundits this was a reach and there were "better" available, so he very well could have landed to us in the 2nd. Seems like a Bill in character. If we get Farmer in the 2nd, we won the draft. 

    What "pundits" are you talking about saying he was a reach?  He was not going to last into the 2nd rd for us.

    Here is my dream scenario for tonight.

     

    Round 1 = Kenneth Grant somehow falls to #30

    Round 2 = Tre Amos (requires slight trade up to mid-40s)

    Round 2 = One of the dozen top edge rushers who happens to drop

    Round 4 = Trade for Jameson Williams from Detroit

     

    Sorry, totally unrealistic.

  3. Every year after the draft the Bills PR machine ramps it up and I am CONVINCED ever year one player is destined for greatness, especially due to their work ethic.  Prime example was Kaiir Elam wanting to get on the playbook on his plane ride to Buffalo.  And this year, three time Duke captain Dewayne Carter who to date and shown nothing.  Sad to say the alleged basketball star Keon Coleman looks headed in the same path.

     

    So again this year I will think it was the best draft ever only to get reality by mid-season.

    I think this is a fun offseason topic. What is your spiciest BIlls take? What is it that you believe that will trigger Bills fans?

     

    I think Jim Kelly is one of the most overrated players in history. He was a very good QB. Historically, he was Jalen Hurts. Kirk Cousins numbers dwarf Kelly’s. He was the steward of an elite offense and did well with it. I am fine with him in the HOF but there are 30-40 QBs better.

     

    What is your spicy take?

    Comparing Jim Kelly to "the numbers" of Kirk Cousins or Jalen Hurts is absolutely ridiculous, totally different eras.

     

    Compare Kellys number to another HOF QB, Joe Namath and what do you see?   makes about as much sense.

    Or they know all they need and will pick him. BUT... A really good friend of mine is a Raiders fan, and although he says they need a QB to develop, he doesn't want Sanders. I said why?  He said Deion.  I agree with him, whomever takes that kid is going to have to deal with Deion and that might be a bit much.

    Imagine the Head Coach of any NFL team that has Sanders kid, it would ALWAYS be in the back of their mind that Deon is a potential replacement.

    I can't see Daboll/Schoen letting their Giants' career counting on Russell Wilson/Jamesis Winston as their QB. Take Sanders and don't look back. 

    If I were Dabol/schoen, I would be hesitant to open the crack for Deon Sanders to the giants next HC if they have another bad season.  Both Sanders in New York would be must see TV. 

     

    Even though I am not a big Sanders fan (he has limited size and arm strength), he is accurate and would be a big fan draw.

    I could see Joe Schoen trading down slightly from Pick #3, maybe down the the 8 - 11 spot, get some nice draft capital to acquire more players and take Ashton Jeanty at the 8 - 11 spot. They're kicking themselves for letting Saquon walk last year. This gives them a generational talent at RB and more draft capital to move back up and take a rookie QB to develop if they desire.

     

    JMO

    Highly doubt it considering it would only bring up Schoen &  company's utter dismal failure of retaining Saquon Barkley only to go to

    fellow conference competitor and turn into Offensive player of the years and a Super Bowl Champion.

    I was at this game as a kid. I'll always remember the play where Kelly tripped at the LoS, got up, scrambled backwards, and threw a TD pass off his back foot. I turned to my dad and said "Joe Fergusson doesn't make that play." It's at 2:17:02 of the video. 

    You were correct, Ferguson could have never made that play.   I for one, never really liked him.  He was the best QB for an extended dreadful era of Bills football.  He was consistently adequate, borderline boring.

    Because it made no sense and it should have been impossible. It was a very risky move that sort of worked out. I wouldn't have made it.

    WHAT?

     

    Your thesis has been totally proven wrong so obviously it was not "impossible".

    LOL well said! 

     

    I was honestly shocked to see them, and I doubt anyone actually bought them because they were there all summer and into fall. 

    Appreciate you having a sense of humor, kind of a d*ck response on my part.  The more I think about it, makes some sense  to sell palm trees in WNY, small ones for indoors like atriums or shopping malls.

     

    Back to the Diggs topic, I wouldnt even risk taking him back for the vet minimum, why risk it, an aged now injure old WR that had issues in the past, best to leave it alone.

    They sell palm trees at WNY Lowes and Home Depot. A few different kinds too. It's not steady or consistent, but last year they had a bunch. 

    They sell ski clothes in Houston, doesn't mean anyone is skiing in Houston.

    May I ask how you know this?

    I'm not casting aspersions or questioning your knowledge of football. I know you're a draftnik and a guy who's very passionate about watching and evaluating players.

    But when you comment on a Kendrick Green type, I wonder: Did you watch a bunch of Texans game and zero in on the o-line? Are you making your comment based on your memory of him as a college prospect? Did you hear that the Bills signed him and THEN go and watch him?

    I'm not trying to troll you, I'm just genuinely curious. How do you already have in your rolodex of personnel knowledge an amount of information on a guard from the Houston Texans sufficient to be able to declare that he's dreadful?

    There are 1,696 players on NFL rosters each year. How do you keep track?

    I live in Houston and have to suffer through a lot of Texans games and I saw a lot of him.  Sans major interior o line injuries, If he even makes our practice squad I will be surprised.

    PFF grade of 19.4 in pass blocking!!?? Am I reading that right or are my eyes just that bad..🫣

    He is beyond bad.

     

    Look up the CJ Stroud sack number last year, most of them were right through the interior the the Texans O Line.

     

    Why the Bills signed him i have no idea.  He can MAYBE latch on as a practice squad emergency backup.
