I gotta say, I trust what Orlovsky is seeing over Cover 1. I like his work as well, but gotta go with teh guy who has played in the league and sat in film rooms with Steve Mariucci, Gary Kubiak, Peyton Manning, and Sean McVay.

I know I'm overreacting, but I thought that Beane was really going to pay attention to the comp pick formula and he clearly isn't so far. We've signed five and lost 1. I think Bush is a second tier free agent and Stanford is a league minimum guy.

I really would look into Jensen as a center. For linebacker talk to Whitehead otherwise wait for guys to be released. WR, wait for guys to get released.

7 uncatchable balls at a pro day? is this normal?

Somebody said they saw someone with a Bills polo talking to Mayfield on the video. I'm sure the Bills will try to keep things quiet about who they are scouting, but people can see them.

I feel a Bonner coming on

Their draft profiles and measurables are actually really close. McCarron had an amazing college career and probably has a slightly stronger arm. Other than that it is very close. I feel like McCarron is what Peterman could be after some development. So right now McCarron > Peterman.

That Ryan Grant contract..woof... I consider myself a pretty smart fan and I feel like I have a lot of knowledge about players. I honestly did not know who Ryan Grant was.

I know it is early, but today is Josh Rosen's pro day. I figured I'd start a thread so we can put info here as it comes out. Nice article from Peter King on SI: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/03/05/nfl-combine-2018-news-josh-rosen-shaquem-griffin-mmqb-peter-king I found some of the tidbits interesting.

Agreed. It is very weird, especially because they released all of the other numbers.

The Bills have to get into a position to draft Darnold, Rosen, or Allen. Anything other than that does not solve the quarterback conundrum that has plagued this team for the last 20 some odd years. Therefore, I think they have to get into the top three to guarantee themselves their guy. I think they want Darnold or Rosen. They will not draft Baker Mayfield (I like him, but they are not taking him.)

Pretty much looks like a 2 year deal with an easy out to make it one year.

This will pay off big time next year. But it kind of sucks right now. It's the collateral damage of the Whaley era.

It's not looking good right now in that regard. They signed 5: Murphy McCarron Lotulelei Stanford Bush and lost 1: Seantrel Henderson. They stand to lose Preston Brown, EJ Gaines, Jordan Mathews, maybe Deonte Thompson. That would make the loses even. So assuming we sign nobody else in free agency, we are banking on people like Brandon Tate, Leonard Johnson, Shareece Wright, Cedric Thornton, Shamarko Thomas, Colt Anderson, Ramon Humber to sign for contracts bigger than league minimum. Right now the Redskins, Vikings, and of course Patriots are leading the way for comp picks. Still early, but that is what low level singings like Bush and Stanford lead to. https://overthecap.com/compensatory-draft-picks-cancellation-chart/

I would take a shot at Troy Niklas, who I was really high on coming out. He dealt with a lot of injury stuff but is a really good blocker and gives use a size dimension O'Leary and Clay don't have. I believe Daboll is going to use tight ends and I foresee four on the roster. In terms of receivers, the prices are just stupid and people have spent a lot of money. I think some guys get cut in the coming days. I am much more worried about linebacker and offensive line.

I've been thinking about this myself. Ken Dorsey is still out there and Rob Chudzinski lost his job in Indy. They haven't fired him yet, but they did replace him. I'm sure they would let him go if an opportunity came about. I don't feel great about David Culley's ability to properly develop a quarterback.

He wore 93 at Stanford and for Washington, so I'm assuming the same here. No one has it. I think the last good #93 was Pat Williams.

It's like 4 million. They were willing to take a 5th for him last offseason. I think they cut him this time.

I believe this as well. I am not a fan of Preston, but I do think he could be effective as a SAM because of his freakishly long arms. I think he is going to wind up as an LB on a 3-4 team like the Packers or Giants.

Vander Esch, after Smith, might be the best player for MIKE in our defense. But with the trade up, we won't be able to get those guys. I think we wind up signing someone who is released over the next few weeks.

In free agency there isn't much going on. Tahir Whitehead is still out there I believe. I still honestly take a flyer on Brian Cushing or even a guy like Lawrence Timmons. Other than that I think we have to wait to see who gets released over the next couple of weeks.

Beane's whole entire stay here is going to be judged on him finding the long term quarterback. He has to get this right. He's going to trade up and take whoever he thinks is the best guy. I think it's going be Rosen or Darnold.

I think it is a bit circumstantial. They gave him too much money and the quarterback play the last couple of years has been pretty awful. Might be worth a bounceback type of shot. In a perfect world you work a trade for Martavis Bryant

Yeah man i thought that dude was going to be good.

I have to disagree. I think we haven't seen the best of Shaq. I think playing for Rex and getting hurt didn't help. I expect him to bounce back this year. If not, I'm sure he will be out.
