The big difference is that Sills has been an ultra-productive player. He’s caught a zillion TDs. Sometimes we fall in love with guys because we want them to become good (like those that believed in Peterman). This guy IS actually good.
We shall find out. I do trust your assessment, but I’d never too certain of any UDFA regardless (with that said, I don’t follow college ball much). He may very well turn out to be a good one. I just joke because the dude checks off every box required to become a TBD training camp folk hero.

How did he go un drafted? Kept saying he was the best target in college football.
I get the feeling he’s going to become this years Proehl on TBD. This board is going to fall head over heels in love with this dude.

I think you have it backwards
what week does Fitz get benched and Rosen go in?
This^ I expect Fitz to have one of the greatest preseasons of all time, only to crash and burn around week three.

I hear ya, Biscuit. On the other hand, it's the Way of the World in all places....someone gets a place in a college because of family influence and someone else loses it. Someone gets a job and someone else loses their chance because of influence.
Hopefully if the guy is good, he'll get other looks, at least an invite to a minicamp and more film.
Except I'm not sure it's true? I know Jim drank and womanized, but Chad seems more out of control. Was it hidden better?
Idk. Everyone likes to compare Jim and Chad. I’m not convinced that it’s a reasonable comparison, regardless of the era they played. Chad has a history of arrests and legal issues, Jim did not have such problems. There’s a big difference between running afoul with the law versus not having great character. In Chad’s case making the same mistakes repeatedly shows a lack of self awareness and intelligence. Jim’s shenanigans didn’t get him kicked off multiple teams.

I heard the same thing from him when he was cut by clemson and then got another shot at Ole Miss.. We'll see if he can lay off the powder once he gets some money again.
Exactly. Chad might think he learned something, but it might be like a drunk who says they’ll never drink again every time they wake up with a hangover. I’m sure he knows that he made a big mistake, but how does it go when life tempts him again?

Just now, Real McCoy said:
We'll see, maybe.
I personally think Lock was the 2nd best QB this draft.
He might be, but I don’t see much promise from anyone in this QB class, unless Murray has big success.

Elway might have it right?
Nah, he’s wrong again. Lock might be decent backup. Problem is the Broncos will need a starter.

Because I don't believe BPA is always a good idea.
Exactly. Everyone seems to be on the BPA train these days. The Giants went BPA last year with Barkley, and missed out on Allen and Darnold. Now they have Jones as their future franchise QB.

I guess this is the part where we freak out because the Patriots drafted a receiver. Who was their last 1st round draft pick to make a big difference?
Receivers have always taken time to develop as well. Even if he becomes a great one, it’s possible Brady will be gone by that time.

Glad Baker didn't end up in New England
I’m more worried about Metcalf in NE.

Gettlemen is a disaster.

Oliver at 9 and trade back in to get Hock or Fant.
I’d be ok with that. Just not ready to use 9 on Hock or Fant.

All we need is for the Jags to take a TE and we are guaranteed a blue chip guy I think.
Hoping they take Hockenson.

teleprompter malfunction...
Maybe, but the dude even stumbled trying to pronounce Clelin Ferrell’s name. You’d think he’d be well versed in the pronunciation of potential first round pick names. He gets paid well to put some effort into things like that. He’s such a joke.

Goodell is a terrible public speaker. He rarely makes sense.

I’m already over the melodrama. I miss the drafts of years past.

Clearly the OP is joking, being sarcastic, correct?
To put on the Bills wall the most inexplicably, unacceptably traded player in the history of the organization? To remind the Bills faithful of how incompetent, even negligent, the franchise has been at times in the past? A player that immediately then showed himself to not only be an all pro, but a hall of famer, the day after he was cut loose.
(I remember after Lynch was traded of posting that it was the worst move I had ever seen the Bills make, and the backlash I got on the board when I said the Bills just cut loose their best player, and for almost nothing, and what may be the best back in the NFL.)
You don't put evidence of the worst move in the franchise history (and one many on this board at the time felt was no big deal, a fine move) on your team's wall!
OP is clearly pulling our collective chains. We really need the draft to get here.

I like Hock and I do feel that he will be our selection, but I just don't want a TE in the first round at all. In the history of the NFL, how many eliteTEs has there been? For those that play fantasy football each year, think about the TEs that you draft. If you didn't get Gronk or Kelce over the past couple of years, you had to settle for any other TE because they're aren't many TEs that actually produce. Finding an elite TE that can do it all is extremely rare. To me, using a first round pick on a TE is just a waste unless the reward is worth the risk.
Couldn’t agree with this more. Hock would be my least favorite potential pick. Keep in mind, neither Kelce nor Gronk were taken in the first round. TE is historically a huge high risk/low reward endeavor in the first round.

I'd put winning football games more on the coaching than the GM. The GM can only field the best on-paper roster as possible. It's the coach that needs to turn those ingredients into a real meal.
And we all know that Whaley never had a chance to hire his own coach, plus, he dealt with an incredible rate of turnover at all of the coaching positions. Which means major scheme changes every year.
We all know how poorly Rex did here. The sharp decline of the team was ALL on him. Yet some sit here and say Whaley was supposed to win those games? Makes no sense.
Rex was without question an unmitigated disaster in Buffalo. He was an alleged defensive guru who ruined that side of the ball. However, Whaley blew it with the Watkins trade, and not doing a better job of addressing the QB situation. There is no coach who was going to win with QB’s like Manuel/Orton/Taylor/Tuel etc. Only a dominant defense could overcome such poor QB play. Contrary to the belief of many, this team never had a truly dominant defense, even before Rex. The numbers looked good, but they were never really dominant. Beane has built his defense while adding decent pieces on the offensive side of the ball. He also went all in to find a potential franchise QB. That’s how it’s done, Whaley never had a clear vision.

Should’ve been done 2 years ago.
I’ve wanted McCoy gone for a very long time.
If we can get anything out of him at this point, you send him packing.
9 hours ago, McBean said:I agree, but I’m also somewhat happy it didn’t happen two years ago. We’d still have that pesky playoff drought nonsense looming over the franchise. A lot can be said for that streak being over.

plenty of Red Raider 'Air Raid' system QBs put up numbers in college and flopped in the NFL (Colt McCoy).
An earlier poster noted Reid tailored a system to Mahomes, and has the clout and background to get the most out of QBs.
Mahomes and Reid is a terrific match that maximizes both. It's wonder twin powers joined together.
I'm pretty happy with the Bills future despite this flub. KC was already loaded on offense for Alex Smith. Josh Allen is the right guy to grow with the Bills IMO.
Yep, I was completely uninterested in Mahomes coming into the draft. I thought he had bust written all over him. I’ll also admit to being completely wrong. No one should talk as if he were a sure thing. Keep in mind it was common knowledge that the 2018 QB class would be one of the strongest in years. Waiting a year to draft a franchise QB didn’t seem like a bad idea if you weren’t sold on Mahomes in 2017.

You can't coach 50 TD's and left handed passes. The kid is a stud and would have been a stud anywhere. There's no reason to suspend belief in order to suit a narrative.
If Josh is the real deal, it won't matter.
Exactly, I’m more concerned with Josh Allen than any of this. If he continues to progress, we’ll have our guy. At that point none of this will matter. This topic only allows the inexplicable amount of Whaley fanboys to come out of the woodwork. I’m quite pleased with Beane so far, and totally over Whaley.

Thanks for the info, sounds promising., We can use help in the WR room, and it’s a good position to test the UDFA market. I’m not sure there’s a great deal of separation between mid round WR draft picks and the undrafted guys these days.
