Ive actually heard this rumour and I am in a different hemisphere... I will be really impressed if someone gets Week 2 right...

I think the odds of OJ announcing the pick are pretty long..

Actually.. a name missing from this list... Justin Zimmer... What happened to him? I know he got injured but he was pretty popular here for a time... Hope he gets another gig somewhere.. he is a late bloomer ( pushing 30...) and hasnt made much cash to date..

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.. but I dont see either of those guys.. particularly Hughes.. playing for vet minimum...

I have been a big Jerry fan over this career here... But unfortunately Father Time catches up with all... Also might be best to see what you have with the three high picks they have made the past two years... Probably Jerry's fate here was sealed when they got Shaq back on the cheap... If they dont pick up a decent LB prospect in the draft..then I wouldnt hate to see Klein back for around $1.5M max I suspect that Williams and Beas still have some value to other teams who would offer more money than the Bills.. so I dont expect either of them back here...

Well… I would be surprised to see the Bills get 3 Thanksgiving games in 4 years…

What are the odds that Poyer gets traded before the draft?

“interest” meaning the Bills called to ask the price and when they were told they said “we ain’t paying that”..

Yes …. You got me there … Particularly his most recent game against the Bills .. by some margin the best he had played all season…. Then the next week was the worst in his career..

Did you miss Mahomes playoff game against the Bengals?

THe only argument I would present is that these rookies you speak of that don’t make the team are late Day 3 picks that have minimal value in a trade up,,, particularly in the first round.. I can also say that there are a lot of Day 3 picks Beane has made that have made and contribute to this team so they are good and finding the diamonds in the rough..

Anyone got a link to the whole episode? Can only find a few minutes on YouTube…

The Mannings have done something that is unique…this is the fourth on the way…. There is a lot more to it than “vast resources” otherwise it would happen more frequently ..

It doesn’t happen to a lot of other NFL QB families does it though… Particularly not three times …

Some decent genes in that family…

Yep… more speculation… As I said.., the only thing in the public domain is the draft tape…could be fabricated ( I question why Beane would waste his time acting out a BS scenario though.. but it’s possible… ) …but it’s something at least…to me that’s better than people trying to rely on Twitter speculation and gut feelings… The only reason I even bought into this thread in the first place was to answer some dude who was trying to say that his “evidence” for the Bills trading Edmunds was people mocking a LB to the Bills…. As you have said already,.. The Bills don’t leak this stuff.. and it’s kinda pointless to refer to a mock draft as evidence of something …

Agreed….As no one here is privy to what happened there is not going to be anyway to “prove” anything… As mentioned…i can only point to the draft tape they released … I also find it interesting that they doubled down on DE with the next pick and didn’t even bother picking an RB at all during the draft…

Well.. in light of what evidence is actually in the public domain… I’m going to go with they wanted Groot the whole time and any interest in Etienne had no substance or was misinformation leaked by the Bills.. If you want to believe otherwise all good…

Maybe … but its some evidence at least… There is zero evidence they wanted Etienne

The Bills made a draft doco with Beane in the war room and Groot was always he pick

Because there are 2000 mocks… a handful will get it right

Like last year when everyone mocked them Etienne right?

No one can speculate with any accuracy what is going to happen at Pick 25... They are throwing darts at a board

Ok.. I dont put a lot of trust in mock drafts personally...

Like who?
