As long as his wife plays tight end I'm good

Davis is a much more proven player. So no, He is not better. Will likely be cheaper and maybe has some upside. Minimum salary type player.

I don't see the logic of taking the best safety in the draft to become a MIKE linebacker. Just makes no sense. I know Deion Jones, but it is a totally different frame than James. It's not just about weight, height is a factor as well. 6-1 222 is way differnt than 6-3 215. Plus he has us passing on Evans and LVE... I know that teams spend a lot of the time in nickel. If I was playing the Bills and they had a 6-3 215 pound MIKE, I would load up on tight ends and jam the ball down their throat, rendering their nickel defense useless.

Interesting, but ridiculous. 215 pound 4-3 MIKE? Not sure going to work in the NFL. This would be a terrible draft.

Was OBJ smoking with you? Was there a hooker and a white substance?

Probably helps the Patriots the most. Just because. But it is a fair point that we were a good tackling team last year. It certainly doesn't help that safety from the Saints who blew that tackles against the Vikings. It also may have saved Rodney Harrison from CTE.

Poor man's Shaq Lawson. Similar size and such, a 4-3 base end basically. Fits teh mold of the typical McDermott end. Likely a depth player. If they went ahead and signed like Kony Ealy, I would think someone was on the move. This not so much.

Ok now I'm even happier we didn't hire Anthony Lynn.

I guessing Saints, maybe Rams or Raiders.

One of these guys will be there, it's just a question of which one. I'm guessing Rosen or Mayfield at this point, and I am okay either way. And I think this is what Beane meant when he said "striking distance."

Same. I don't hate it. I like OBJ, the problem is can you sign him long term? If not it isn't worth the risk. Honestly, in the back of my mind, because obsessions, I have to count all the stuff we traded for Sammy Watkins too...because we should have just taken him at nine.

This. So take solace in the fact that he is usually pretty off guys. The one thing, we are likely not getting a quarterback without a trade up, and I don't think he usually projects trades. So linebacker, corner seems likely. The true question is...did he have Mason Rudolph in first?

Beane talked about post draft cuts the other day. It makes sense to wait for that time and keep a bit of that money aside for one, a little nest egg for someone who is good that shakes loose.

I still don't love him and I don't know if I buy it, but if they think he is Drew Brees, and will win from the pocket, I'm good with it. Trusting the process.

Man I hope the Jets or Broncos don't kill him. I mean I know he had a run in with the cops, but that seems excessive.

But did he say process???

Good points. It's always projectable skills more than anything.

Somebody made fun of me a couple of months ago when I suggested he'd be a sought after commodity. Oh well. He still has that Belichick shine on him and played ok when given the opportunity.

Very surprising that he failed. Really smart, great size and athletic ability. Did not transition well from the spread offense. Something like 7 offensive coordinators in 8 years and I think that is one of the reasons he never got going. But Mayock was obviously wrong and that is one of the reasons we could see Allen drafted before Darnold. .

So strange that no one takes Mason Rudolph in the first. Weird....;)

I think they wanna see if Chubb falls. If Chubb is gone, it makes sense for them to trade back. Miller had it 12, 22, and 96 I believe. Something like that.

Plus, Nate Peterman last year 5.7, slightly lower than Mahomes at 5.8 and Watson at 5.9. Slightly higher grade than message board hero Mason Rudolph. I mostly agree with this, but the Mason Rudolph comp is Christian Ponder, I think mostly based on a noodle arm. Physically they are nothing alike.

I mean this guy is the JV, smaller, less talented version of Paxton Lynch, who has developed for a couple of years in the league, and is just a year older than Ferguson. So might as well try to work a trade for Lynch.

If this is directed to me, I simply posted this as an example of why I think the Jets owner may not like the idea of drafting the kid. So it is simply relevant to the conversation in the thread. And if it is directed at Rosen, he was simply answering a question the reporter asked.

Thank you. That is just ridiculous. Intriguing in that second tier based on that alone.
