Kyle Brady? Rudolph might make a good tight end. Definitely has the size, but way too slow.

So we get 4 first rounders, 1 second rounder, and 2 third rounders. We need to get one of those top 4.

Woody Johnson is a meddling owner and I think he would want Mayfield or Josh Allen. I don't think Rosen's off field stuff is a big deal, but for Johnson it probably is. Donald Trump assigned him as Ambassador to the UK. That's his boy. He and Johnson both live in Bedminster Township, NJ. This clearly seems owner driven and I think he wants Allen or Mayfield.

There is probably the framework of a deal worked out with either the Giants or Browns at 4. Trading up at this point is just rash. I mean what if the Jets jumped up for Allen and he tears his ACL or something in training? You still taking him at 3? It's way too early to make this aggressive of a move. Knowing the Jets they probably traded to 3 for Vita Vea.

He did say they would keep an open mind. If the Giants won't trade because they want Allen, and Jets want Baker, we can get Rosen at 4 or even later. We would have to jump the Broncos, or know the Broncos don't want him. Now if the Giants don't want a quarterback and the Jets want Baker, and the Broncos want Allen, we really don't have to trade at all, just have to be weary of a team like the Cards jumping us. If we want someone other than Rosen, looks like we might be out of luck. I suppose this is why Beane is waiting so all of this sorts out.

Brown was moving so slow that Mayfield had a clear line of sight around him.

Mike White didn't stand out to her?

Agreed. I think he will too and I think we will pass. Way too much talent in round 2-3. I suppose there is a chance though. I'd be ok with him in the third. No earlier.

So true. He will also be there at 31 and after that as well. This is actually the best argument I have heard to take Rudolph.

The Jets overpaid and the Colts had to take the deal. No reason to wait. They are still in postition to draft Chubb and they have a bunch of extra picks now. Plus if Allen or Rosen drop to six, they could still drop to 12 and rob the Bills as well.

Trappaso is out of his mind on this one. They must share an agent.

Agreed. Aside from tickets, he is going to have a tough time selling Pegula. I think it's clear Pegula wants a quarterback and I think he really wanted Trubisky last year. I understand why they passed on the trade up, but they have to get that guy this year.

I think Castillo is a good coach. Problem is he was a downgrade from Aaron Kromer and guys really regressed. He never gave Groy a shot at guard which made no sense. He stuck with Mills who was pretty awful all season when they had Seantrel on the bench. Cleary with his quick signing with Houston, Seantrel was a sought after commodity. And his loyalty to Ducasse is just strange.

Man oh man with the Rudolph

As we get closer and he knows he can get his guy I think he will cave.

So basically says he wants a guy who is tall, has arm strength (because it can't be improved much), has some experience under center, goes through progressions, doesn't want a running quarterback because they take a beating (unless they are special athlete ala Jackson). If you take his words as his gospel, you eliminate: Mayfield-height, spread, Jackson-accuracy in pocket, Allen - accuracy, Rudolph - arm strength, spread. It's really just Darnold and Rosen. In the next tier the closest thing is probably Mike White. Falk, Laluetta have arm strength issues and things of that nature. White played under center, read full field progressions and has a big arm.

Agreed. Outside of Lock, who isn't.....a lock, it doesn't look good.

True. That is the concept of striking distance!

Darnold or Rosen

Jackson-Arizona is a nice match. McCoy is an Erhardt-Perkins guy and Jackson looks pretty damn good with a Cardinal on the side of his helmet. I think we pick at 2, 4, or 7. Somewhere along those lines depending on how the draft shapes up. I don't think the Colts will be willing to trade out, unless Chubb is gone. My gut tells me they are going to fall in love with AJ McCarron once they get to know him. I think they brought him in knowing very little about him and I think they are going to be pleasantly surprised. He has process written all over him. With that said, If they can't trade up, I think they wind up using one of those third round picks on a QB. I don't think Beane will reach and force the issues.

I appreciate that. Same here. I just don't like reaching for a guy like him. It really feels like the trade up for JP Losman. Instead of drafting Rudolph in the first, I'd take my chances he is there in the third, and if not I just draft in the next tier. This is the way I see it: Tier 1 Darnold, Rosen, Allen,.........Mayfield Tier 2 is Jackson ..........Rudolph Tier 3 everybody else. My point is that I think there is a pretty big drop off after the top three. Rudolph, in my estimation is way closer to tier three than he is to tier one. I just can't use the #22 pick on him. Do you realize how much positional talent is going to be on the board at that point? Drafting Rudolph there is an embarrassingly bad reach to me. I'm willing to sacrifice that pick in a trade up, not to pick a tier 2/3 quarterback.

He is a really good special teams player and a depth type guy. He will probably serve as a backup Will. Basically he replaces Ramon Humber. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/03/what_to_know_about_new_buffalo_bills_lb_julian_stanford.html

He just had the worst season of his career under Terry Robiskie and I am not sure he loved the way he was used. He is great in the slot, but I really hope they keep Zay there. I don't think he is the answer.

To me, Rudolph could possibly become what McCarron is right now in three or four years. If that is teh case, hitch it to McCarron. It just doesn't make sense to hitch your wagon to a guy with very little upside who isn't better than what you already have.

The prospect better be better than McCarron or Peterman, otherwise what is the point?
