I give him credit for even being back in the mix. I've got no hate for Marcell, we're on to better things anyway. We all knew he wasn't a Hall of Famer a decade ago so I'm kind of rooting for him at this point. It really feels like an incredibly long time ago since he was a Bill, I'm surprised to see he's only 32. He hasn't played since 2019 so perhaps this means he's been improving things. I think it would be pretty cool to see him suit up again, just in terms of a life story kind of thing.

Poll: How would you grade the Bills overall draft?
Nelius replied to Lost's topic in The Stadium Wall
Added a starting corner. Added another corner. Added speed, and more options for Josh. Got a Day 1 punter - anything less will be a huge disappointment. I would have like to have seen a guard and another TE, but I voted A. Closer to A- though compared to the rest of the NFL, I don't think it was as good as Baltimore's or several others. But a darn good draft, and furthermore one where the fanbase and decision makers seemed pretty aligned. No surprises at all really. -
Great review. I don't get the desire to want to cut Crowder however. I think he's going to be great here. A target machine that runs great routes that could easily replicate pre-broken/old Beasley. Not a bad guy for Shakir to learn from. I love the Shakir pick but I can't find any reasoning whatsoever for his fall to the 5th. Everybody loves it! So why did he fall? Just misfortune for him and dumb luck for us? You can't find a negative word about the pick if you tried and some had him mocked in the late 2nd.

Rd 5, Pick 148 (5): WR Khalil Shakir, Boise St
Nelius replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
I've looked and I can't find anything negative about this pick anywhere. I'm not trying to be a downer, I'm just curious why he fell to the 5th, especially in a draft with an early run on WR. I love the pick as does seemingly everybody else in the universe. Some mocked him going late 2nd, so what's the catch if any? Did we just completely luck out? -
Rd 6, Pick 180 (1): Punter Matt Araiza, San Diego State
Nelius replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Just have Case Keenum hold and bring out Punt God every 3 games to nuke a team into submission. Am I missing some rule that the punter needs to hold kicks? Have the feisty vet back-up QB do it like it's 1991. -
Got some speed this weekend as mentioned but just about everybody on this offense already runs a 4.5 or lower. That's not slow. Tyreek Hill is a unicorn, he's hard to duplicate, but having 5-6 guys on offense that can run sub 4.5 isn't awful by any means. You're missing some guys too - Stevenson ran a 4.45 and that was considered poor for him, and he blew away the 3-cone drill. Was surprised to find out that even Kumerow runs 4.5. Howard runs a 4.58. We've got a ton of guys with decent speed, I don't really see the issue.
-
My first thought. Was it boring or just a completely different draft considering the lack of QBs?
-
Going 5th in most mocks. We've got enough sixers to get it done. Moving up late in the draft for a punter would be something.

Rd 3, Pick 89 (25): LB Terrell Bernard, Baylor
Nelius replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Still available as well. Crowder on the other hand also had interest from the Browns and 49ers at least and easily would have had a home by now, and yet this dude is acting like the Bills gave him the league minimum 2 months after free agency started. -

Nelius replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Despite the fact that this is its entirety is presented like the rant of a 15 year old, I'll highlight this because it's where things really went off the rails. Crowder is a tough, 28 year old target machine. Fantastic route runner. You either need to be trolling or opening your first pack of football cards to think that 33 year old, half-broken Cole Beasley is going to produce more than Jamison Crowder on the same field with Josh Allen in 2022. -
They seem to be strangely focused on the run game yet I also remember them ignoring Aaron Jones at many important times last year as a fantasy owner. It's almost like they're building as if Dillon is going to be the second coming of Derrick Henry. I'm not sold, his ypc dropped last year and he lacks Henry's strength and stiffarm reach.
-
Or double down, he's still available. A second round or later Breece Hall is much more interesting.

Love the player but you honestly might see him fade. Philly is such a weird team with so many mouths on offense that put up below average numbers. And they've burned through so many WR picks the last few years - Reagor's a bust, Arcega-Whiteside is trying to be a TE now, we'll see about DeVonta Smith still. They either can't develop or just have terrible luck. Be he struggles for 800 yards.

I'm sure it's been said dozens of times in various thread but I just can't comprehend what the Packers are doing. They're really going into the year with Allen Lazard and Sammy Watkins as their top wideout options? During their legendary QB's final run? It just defies logic. Then you add the spice of the completely wasted Jordan Love pick and the fact that they haven't tried to move him yet. Just a weird team, they deserve all the ridicule they're getting.
-
I actually just read that "Tommy Doyle needs competition" as justification for holding on to the 4th round pick... Gonna go wash my eyes and down about 8 more beers. There will be trainwreck, look-at-me takes, regardless of the pick. We filled a huge need. On to tomorrow.

I can only assume it was sarcasm?

Predict which/how many teams from the AFC West make the playoffs?
Nelius replied to The Red King's topic in The Stadium Wall
Two - Chargers and Raiders are my pick, but KC would be the third Raiders scare me a bit with that pass rush. Crosby was an A+ draft pick. Late 4th round becoming one of the most feared pass rushers in the NFL, paired with Chandler Jones is nasty. Oh yeah, Davante Adams. Carr isn't Josh Allen but he's still regularly slept on. They have a lot of the right pieces. I find the Broncos love this offseason gross and it's nice to see that people have seemingly come to their senses in this thread. Nate Hackett and old Russell Wilson are going to just easily defeat the Chargers, Chiefs, and Raiders? Everybody talks about how loaded the Broncos are but how about how loaded the Chargers and Raiders are? And the Chiefs still have Mahomes and mutant Kelce. Donkeys may win less than 8 games, banking it here in this prediction thread. -
Fan Duel ranks the top 10 pro athletes in NY
Nelius replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
He won Finals MVP twice and both Klay and Draymond have multiple videos that you can view online right now calling him "our best player". They give the Finals MVP to anybody just pitching in? I just thought the Eichel comparison was weird but now you're acting like sixth man Durant came off the bench for 8 points a game and was gifted a couple rings. -

Nelius replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Except Durant led teams to two rings...and around we go. Lol. If your argument is truly comparing perceived baby qualities then I'll let you have it, but you're not framing it very well -

Nelius replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah you keep repeating ridiculous things, which I'm questioning. I can even sense the backpedaling. You don't like Durant, okay, but he has rings and hardware that you're now dismissing which is just silly. Call him a baby fine, but he's a decorated baby whereas Eichel has done nothing. I mean it's not like I'm arguing Durant vs. Michael Jordan. You compared him to Jack Eichel! Lol just insane Also wasn't the star on the those teams? The league collectively considers KD to be the best in the league. In what alternate universe did you ever see KD as a 2 or 3 on any team? This is poor trolling at best I think -

Nelius replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
What in the world is this? Durant has 2 rings and has led 3 separate teams at this point. I understand disliking him, but he's objectively a proven legend compared to Eichel. Very weird comparison. -
Top 10 Herd Hierarchy following Free Agency
Nelius replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
I guess, but everybody touting them as SB contenders seems to be dismissing the fact that they don't have a can't miss, guaranteed offensive weapon like we do with Diggs for example. They just got rid of Fant who was their offensive centerpiece for years. Jeudy took a step back last year. Javonte Williams looks good but only has a single season in a shared system. Etc. There could be a lot of disappointment in Denver this year is all I'm saying. They look great on paper but there are way too many questions to crown them champs of that absolutely loaded division.
