Yes.. in hindsight they should have not traded the pick and taken Mahomes ( or even Watson ) in 2017... My point about the draft is thats its never going to be an exact science.. .you would know this better than most so I dont get why we are still hand wringing over this decision 5 years later.. particular when the Bills have had a three year run the likes of what we havent seen in 30 years.. Whether it was "lucky" they picked Allen the next year ( you wouldnt have known it at the time based on the hysterical media reaction around "wrong Josh" and from most here who thought he was going to be a bust..) or not .. well .. so be it.. Maybe the Bills were due a bit of luck for once.. I think you would have to say that it was a brave decision to pick him.. they also had to maneuver their way up the list to get him so he didnt fall into their laps.. Also if you want to look at these draft day decisions through the lens of hindsight.. then the Bengals should have realised come 2017 that Dalton was on his last legs and it was time then to move on...they went 15-33 with him the three years he was there after this draft... But doubt they are fretting too much now... They just made Mahomes look like a stooge in the Second half of the Championship game.. Seriously on that performance versus how Josh played in his two playoff appearances I think you can be optimistic about the future...

10 years $375M… Thats going to look like such a bargain in a few years time when the salary cap increases.. Oh …it’s a broadcasting contract 😑?

Several other teams passed on Mahomes too.. one of them was the Bengals who I believe selected John Ross instead in that draft (.. who??) And guess which team ( bengals v chiefs) has blocked the other from a superbowl appearance? The draft should never be the be all and end all.. Be thankful that the Bills got another guy that can take them to the Superbowl ( we hope..) . Just like what happened to the Bengals... As I have said to you before.. Allen V Mahomes has been going for 4 years now.. we are probably at the end of the first quarter .. Lets see how the final score board reads at the end of their careers..

Reddit quoting twitter you say?... Booking international flights now...

What happened?

Tre is an immortal

If they pursue him it might tell us how confident ( or not) they are about Tre starting the season…

And Peterman…. The brother in the basement we don’t talk about,,,

Sorry if I missed it, but who is saying that its “ such a concern “ for him? Has he said anything himself that he is struggling to learn it ?

Im trying to come up with a possible explanation that between picking Tre, Dawkins and Milano they picked Zay Jones ? Must be some excuse for that …

We think Whaley moved up and picked Zay Jones in the second though when MCD was in the restroom…

There may have been a few friendly texts/banter sent but I doubt anyone was too upset… What did the message read I wonder? Damn you Beane! I was hoping to pick that guy in the 6th Round..

Firstly thanks for your original post... In relation to this point...I cant see Crowder getting cut...he signed cheap but pretty much all guaranteed money... Think he is going to surprise a few people ... play well and sign a bigger deal elsewhere in 2023..

True.. they gave him Diggs one time in the first so not every year...

How do I get there?

Yes.. I heard him say that.. I guess the question is did he have 2nd or 3rd round grades on these guys...

If he makes the team it will be at the expense of Quessonberry or Mancz... one of whom I assume you have in your 51... Boettger is no doubt headed for IR /Practice Squad at the start of the season...

How much money will Ford save when you factor in paying his replacement... Isnt it likely who they keep in his place will cost more? Im not saying he makes the team, but his cost wont be the reason..

Beane is never satisfied..always looking .. Turns over every rock If he can improve the depth/ back end of the roster he will.. Etc..etc..

yup… agree… Do you think they might have been in on Skyy in the second?

I have booked 3 international return flights based on this.. better be correct..

I would be surprised if they got the season opener AND two Thanksgiving games in a row..

The worst take I have seen here ( not from me) was the poster who wanted to start Barkley over JA in that disaster 2018 season because of Barkleys game over the Jets... The guy still posts here but I wont name him...

Interesting that you seem to have cultivated a “draft buddy” relationship with Belichick… must be a mutual case of the “enemy of my enemy is my friend…” Unfortunately might end up a 1 year thing as they might be picking too high next year…

Yes… yes it is Elam and Wydermyer in UDFA… you might win the prize..
