Realistically I could see that happening after this upcoming season, but who knows? There is a potential out in the contract after 2018 where the dead money isn't bad.

I'm just saying with Beane saying he was going to play the comp pick game, signing released players is the best way to make that work. The Patriots have been doing it for years. This is true with the Davis signing as well.

Would not count towards comp formula as well!

I wouldn't mind playing three safeties in the nickel, especially because Hyde and Poyer are former corners. Even though they have Baker, and the Honey Badger, I could see Coleman following Wilks to Arizona to help their defensive transition.

With all of the options available in free agency, the cost to move up could technically be cheaper. I think they made the trade down last year with the specific intent of trading up this year. I don't think they anticipated making the playoffs, which makes the trade up more difficult.

DeFelippo could mean they go with Bradford. It could also mean Cousins as DeFelippo has seen him up close a lot in the NFC East. I don't think they will feel like Keenum is the guy.

Man what happened to this thread? Next thing you know we will be talking about Mason Rudolph or Tyrod Taylor.

Playing Mills over Henderson is such a head scratcher for me. I believe in this coaching staff, but I take issue with the amount of playing time that went to Ducasse, Mills, and Tolbert. I just don't understand what they saw in those guys. When Henderson came in for a handful of plays I thought he looked pretty good and I think he is a good enough prospect to hold on to. I do really like the potential of Conor McDermott though.

I like Jeremiah's insight as well because he was a starting college quarterback. Between that and his scouting background, he is one of my favorite guys to listen to. Louis Riddick is also a former player, scout, and was a director of pro personnel. I like listening to Mayock, but I think Riddick and Jeramiah's insight hold the most weight.

My guess is they have their sights set on Rosen, Darnold, or Allen. I'm guessing Rosen. I think all of the rumors coming out could mean something. Usually it's the pre combine rumors that are closest to the truth. The next few months is all smokescreen stuff. I think draft boards and plans are pretty much set in motion at this point. I think the interviews are the most important part of the draft combine for most part. If they know they can land Rosen I could see them going with a crappy vet like Chad Henne or Matt Moore to be there in case they need someone to start the first four games. If we see them sign a younger guy like Bridegewater or McCarron, I think they pass on drafting a guy high. If they trade for Nick Foles, he also become the guy. I could also see Sam Bradford as a possibility and he would likely become the guy as well.

Pretty sure they were just resting him for the playoffs. BB didn't want him to sit out the entire game so he gave him a half to play from what I recall.

Really surprised he doesn't love Rosen.

100 percent! It's weird. I've been thinking how the Bills have been in a tough spot for a long time as a perpetually middle of the pack team, 8-8, 7-9 etc. The Rams are a team that has been awful for a while and stacked with really high picks. This is the other side of it as all this those top picks eventually become super expensive. They finally had a good year and they aren't going to be able to keep the team together. Sucks.

Rams are in a tough cap spot. They have some space, but can't pay everyone. They have Sammy, Joyner, and Johnson all UFAs. Donald needs a new contract coming up and then you have Gurley as well and Goff down the road. They might lose Quinn, Barron, Austin to make it all work.

I'm sticking with my prediction of San Francisco. A lot of cap, position of need. Great fit with Shanny and Jimmy G.

Agreed. I think he is a greaT fit as is Charles Clay.

Guys like Kirk Cousins, AJ McCarron and such probably already know where they are going.

They do use their tight ends as H back types, but their true fullback is usually a blocker. James Develin, their fullback for the past four years has 19 career catches for 161 yards and zero touchdowns. DiMarco has 44 catches for 301 yards and four touchdowns.

I think he certainly has better film than EJ. He doesn't have the physical upside that EJ did. Obviously he failed, but he was overdrafted and was really a third or fourth round pick. EJ had much higher potential with a lower floor. Rudolph is very average to below average physically but has some good college tape. If you want a solid backup he's your guy. If you want a possible high upside starter he is not. We we need a true franchise quarterback and that is why this guy just doesn't move the needle imo.

A few others have said it, but I just see Bryce Petty. He isn't special and just doesn't move the needle for me at all. I don't see upside, or high level starter. Average arm and little athleticism. I don't really understand the love for him. I see a guy along the lines of a slightly bigger Matt Moore. I like Rosen. I get why people like Darnold. I get why people like Mayfield. I can see the upside of an Allen or Jackson. For me Rudolph is in the third tier of QBs in this draft with Falk and White etc. I just can't believe people are mocking him in the first.

After the combine we will stop seeing all of the Rudolph first round projections. He's a 3rd or 4th round pick imo. This would pretty much be the worst way to spend two first round picks.

I'm thinking that a guy like Cushing or Freeman or even Derrick Johnson could be nice transitional players as a starter in front of whoever we draft. Depth or low cost starter for a year. Besides the suspensions, Cushing pretty much oozes process and all that stuff. Hard worker, leader etc etc. Just sayin. Plus they wouldn't count for comp picks.

I'd be okay with Freeman or Brian Cushing as our new MLB over Preston. Cushing is also familiar with John Butler so there is familiarity there. And they don't count toward comp picks.

I think DiMarco is back. He played for Daboll for one season in Kansas City early in his career, so he will be familiar with what Daboll is going to do. Over the years Daboll has used a true fullback like Lawrence Vickers and DiMarco and also made use of H back types like Charles Clay and Lex Hilliard in Miami. He also had Peyton Hillis in Cleveland and in KC. If you look at New England they pretty much always have a fullback on the roster. I see DiMarco, Clay, and O'Leary all being really good fits for what Daboll will want to do.

This is what Rosen actually said: "I'd rather be a lower pick at the right team than a higher at the wrong team." Obviously this implies he doesn't want to go to the Browns, but the media really twisted this making him sound like a big jerk. With Buffalo coming off a playof berth and some newfound stability, I don't see why we would be an issue.
