  1. Nolan Smith going 31st. The ESPN guys were thinking he could go to the Jets at 15. Eagles front 7 will be dangerous.
  2. And yes all 24 guys taken earlier will all work out. Its a crap shoot and Kincaid is just as likely as anyone to be a star
  3. Someone send Dorsey some game film on the great TEs of the last decade.
  4. Everyone criticizing Lamar for not having an agent and he basically got the same deal as Hurts without giving up 3% to an agent.
  5. Yes I think so. I dont think they can do something like whichever pick is higher or lower. Thats common in NBA and NHL I think but not NFL.
  6. Should have just taken Anderson at 2 and Richardson at 12. Will be interesting how much they gave up to move up 9 spots
  7. Whoever gets Anthony Richardson will get the best QB in this draft.
  8. So sad. Mortensen looks terrible and his voice is so weak.
  9. Dude is smaller than Goodell. He will be broken early and often.
  10. The more I look at these QBs, I think Richardson will be the best of the whole group. Not sure Stroud can read a defense. Ohio state offense is dumbed down for the QB. That is why do many OSU QBs struggle. Young is just too small. He will get broken just like Tua and Murray.
  11. Don't forget the cap space freed up by letting him walk. If you sign him to a big deal you probably lose four other guys including Poyer. You are over thinking it. Many first rounders are busts. Getting 5 years of starter quality football is a decent return.
  12. Beane lies about everything And he had better get two year one season opener starters out of this draft. They have massive hole at MLB, Edge until Miller comes back, and WR. Plus open competition for RT.
  13. Hmm, I guess I wouldn't call winning 66% of the division games a near sweep but OK. I get your premise though. 3-3 in the division makes it tough but remember all these improved teams play each other as well. It's likely no AFC East teams does better than 4-2. In which case the division may be up for grabs until the last week, with tie breakers in play. My guess is if the BIlls go 4-2 as they did last season with a split against the Jets and Miami they will be fine. If they go 4-2 but lose two games to the Jets that may be enough to knock them out of the division title.
  14. He wasn't solid as a rookie. He was terribly inconsistent just as he was in 2022. The issue/excuse people cite is his back surgery and little off-season to train while recovering. At best Brown is a massive question mark for 2023. If he can play better he is a cheap starter, that seems capable in the run game and a liability in pass protection that Allen can at least see coming. I truly hope OT is taken in the first three rounds. That all said, I'm equally worried about Dawkins. He regressed terribly last year. If they take a capable LT in the first round I would not be shocked to see Dawkins gone in 2024. Or moved to LG in 2024 with the McGovern guy or Bates maybe moving to Center if Morse retires.
  15. Huh, they went 4-2 in the division last year??? No excuses. SuperBowl appearance or its time to move on from McDermott
  16. I did the Bills Backers club in Columbus Ohio from 1992 to 2000. It was a good experience. I dont drink but the food was good. Not sure if it is still there. It was more restaurant than bar. The Bills Backers club in Portland is a small bar with no real food and no kids allowed. Walked in once and walked out. Terrible venue. Sunday ticket and my 60 in screen is the only way I'm watching a game that I dont attend.
  17. Being on weekend call on West coast time for 20 years I missed my share of games in real time. I usually tried to keep up with the score online. The game I missed in real time I wish I had been able to watch, was 2003 season opening win over the Patriots 31-0.
  18. All great suggestions ! Art museum is world class and I've been multiple times already. They have a couple of amazing Renoir pieces in their regular collection. Same thing with the Orchestra. Truly world class West Side Market was a bit of a disappointment but went in Oct. Hopefully wi;l be better this summer
  19. Here is a non-draft thread to chat about anything else... As many now, I spent the last 20 years in Portland without a local NFL team. In some respect that was a blessing, because the local sports stations when not covering the Ducks or Blazers, talked about all the NFL teams. Portland has a love hate relationship with Seattle so the Mariners and Seahawks don't get preferential treatment there. They routinely had interviews with local media from all the markets especially if there was a big matchup ahead. Now that I am here in Cleveland it is awful. Even when the Guardians and Cavs are winning, all they talk about is Browns football. I assumed homer coverage but didn't think it would be this bad. They don't even do simple segments like around the NFL or top 5 stories of the day. When the Sunday Ticket YouTube thing was announced last week, the local radio hosts were stunned anyone would want to buy it because they can see all the Browns games for free. Several callers actually called in and said, hey you know there are lots of people in Cleveland that are fans from other teams. Yet virtually no other NFL coverage. I've not listened to local Buffalo radio since 1988. I'm wondering what it is like in Buffalo. And for others on this board that live outside of WNY, what is your experience like?
