    The franchise tag protects small markets.    It exists primarily to force franchise QB's to the negotiating table.

     

    Without it top young QB prospects can enter the NFL with one foot out of the door in that market just like young NBA stars.

     

    The tag is used on other positions because QB's generally know that they aren't going anywhere without a 2 year career disruption.........but it needs to exist to prevent an NBA-like situation where the balance of power swings with top 10 QB's moving around every offseason.

    That's not how the franchise tag is used. It isn't used on franchise QB's, it isn't used on elite players.

    One thought I had with all these QB's handcuffing their teams with huge contracts is that you should be able to sign one player that doesn't count against the cap each year.  You can give your franchise QB (or another position if your QB sucks) as much money as you want and still field a competitive roster.  No need for the franchise tag.

    That's an interesting thought. You'd see QB salaries sky rocket, though. The only thing keeping them down is the cap, and even that isn't doing it.

     

    Eventually it would equalize though, and you'd have other positions getting mega deals.

    Just a hunch? Really think the Bills can risk their season on a pipe dream?  No sign of life in him last year, consistently.  Obviously I hope you are right, but nothing to go on here other than his career stats--not 2018.

     

    The Bills cannot take that chance, should not. 

     

    In the Super Bowl years the Bills almost always cut ties with players when they were done--sign of a good team.

    And you expect a RB that's sitting on his couch a week before the draft to help the team significantly? If the Bills don't believe in McCoy anymore, they should be drafting his replacement.

    Boy, MJS, I need my relief pitcher to do something, especially one the caliber of Gore.  If I had Nolan Ryan in his last couple of years i wouldn't just sit him.

     

    Allen could do 700 and I don't have as big a problem with him doing it as some.  I just don't think the coaches are going to let that happen.

     

    Gore will get some yards, maybe even some TD's, but if he doesn't, I don't think it makes or breaks the offense.

     

    And I have no problem with Allen running. It's one of his strengths, and I believe the coaches will use it, but they'll want him to be smart about it. QB's get hurt just as often within the pocket as without. Allen's injury last year happened with him in the pocket.

    We resigned Phillips, we got Hughes and Star and Murphy and Lawson and Yarborough and Harold and H. Phillips. 

    We're talking about drafting Oliver or Wilkins or Gary. On top of that we're trading for Clark. 

    Just wondering? Is anybody concerned we've done nothing as far as our LB corps is concerned?

     

    I do think we need more depth, but most of the time we only field two linebackers anyway. We definitely need to find a replacement for Lorenzo eventually.

     

    And I believe we will expend some draft picks on linebackers.

  5. Your score is: 31173 (GRADE: A-)

    Your Picks:
    Round 1 Pick 9: Josh Allen, OLB, Kentucky (A)
    Round 2 Pick 29 (K.C.): David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin (A)
    Round 2 Pick 31 (K.C.): JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford (A)
    Round 3 Pick 10: Michael Deiter, OG, Wisconsin (A+)
    Round 4 Pick 10: Devin Singletary, RB, FAU (A+)
    Round 4 Pick 29: Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson (A+)
    Round 5 Pick 9: Tyree Jackson, QB, Buffalo (A+)
    Round 5 Pick 20: DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Ole Miss (A+)
    Round 5 Pick 29 (K.C.): Alize Mack, TE, Notre Dame (A-)
    Round 6 Pick 8: Chris Slayton, DT, Syracuse (A+)
    Round 7 Pick 11: Blace Brown, CB, Troy (A+)
    Round 7 Pick 14: Ryan Connelly, ILB, Wisconsin (A+)


    That's my highest score so far. I just tried getting as high a score as I could.

    How do we fulfill @MJS dream of Oliver and Clark?     Trade the 2nd for Clark? 

    Eh, I don't actually care much. I was just making the point that trading for Clark does not mean Beane won't still draft a defensive lineman.

     

    I'm down for whatever the Bills end up doing. I don't watch college ball, so I don't know about these players other than how they perform at the combine and how they are projected by others. I watch some highlight videos too.

    Teams have run at will against Buffalo the past 2 years and opposing  QBS have been way too comfortable in the pocket.  A WR does nothing to fix that.

    jones, brown, foster, Beasley, Roberts, duke is 6 WR already, we aren’t keeping 7, who are you cutting when you draft WR?

    You cut whoever is worst. Probably CFL Duke, because he's super slow. We absolutely need another WR and I would be shocked if we didn't take one in the first 3 rounds.

    well, at least we are good at picking cornerbacks.  or maybe it is that we are good at training cornerbacks.  either way.  we are good at doing something with cornerbacks

    Maybe PFF over grades them. I mean, Matt Milano has been an awesome draft pick. Why is he not graded higher than Shaq Lawson? Tough to believe that they grade all position groups on the exact same scale.

     

    Anybody know what Milano's grades have been?

    LOL@McKelvin over McGee for KR. McGee had 5400 KR yards with 5 TD's. McKelvin had 2400 KR yards and 1 touchdown. McGee also had a slightly higher average. TM is actually one of the better return men in the history of the league.

     

    I won't get into the fumble thing with McKelvin because I think it's been done to death, but I can't take this too seriously with that kind of error.

    My only guess is that they didn't want to repeat players. McGee was also listed as a CB.
