Veach? He’s good but also a clear step down from Howie. We don’t even know how much influence he has and how much is Reid.

Beane is not on the same level as Howie.

Howie is the best GM in the NFL and I don’t think anyone is really close.

Yeah the rich are about to get richer.

Wow that’s a terrible value.

Just pick the players!!! Enough of the preamble.

Didn’t see any live draft thread. I’m ready for this thing to get started!

Here we go again. https://sports.yahoo.com/around-north-ravens-offer-lamar-204151599.html#:~:text=Browns Wire-,Around the North%3A Ravens offer to Lamar,includes %24200 million in guarantees&text=In more news around the,includes %24200 million in guarantees. Yeah he ended up taking a worse deal. Likely because he lost leverage when no other team wanted him.

Huh? A team that wouldnt pay him? They offered him $200M guaranteed before that season!

They don't get it...

Sucks so much.

Worked well? He just accepted a deal with less guaranteed money than they offered him last year. And he lost at least 1 full year of contract, so he will be waiting for a new fat contract 1 year longer than he had to. He played himself. Of course, he probably saw the writing on the wall after a grand total of 0 teams wanted him this offseason.

That would suck.

Just not a tiny WR. PLEASE no tiny WR.

If you ask some members you're never allowed to complain. You shut your mouth, like what the Bills are doing, and that's THAT!

Yes. For example, here are Mel Kipers Bills pick for the past 10 years, and who the Bills actually took (in parenthesis). 2013: Jonathon Cooper (EJ Manuel) 2014: Taylor Lewan (Sammy Watkins) 2015: No pick 2016: Emmanuel Ogbah (Shaq Lawson) 2017: Haason Reddick (Tre White) 2018: Tremaine Edmunds, Lamar Jackson (Tremaine Edmunds, Josh Allen) 2019: Jonah Williams (Ed Oliver) 2020: No pick (Diggs) 2021: Tyson Campbell (Groot) 2022: Kaiir Elam (Elam) Outside of Lamar Jackson over Josh Allen, is there any real difference here between an amateur mock drafter and a professional GM? Tre White is probably the best non-Josh-Allen pick in the last 10 years and he had us taking Reddick, who was an all-pro last year, and the pick we traded to drop down to #27 was the pick KC used on Mahomes. So.. yeah.. not ideal. Summary: Bills have drafted no better than amateur mock drafters for the past 10 years (and longer, but I didn't feel like spending time going back any further).

And yet, many posters have done a better job picking players than the Bills have over the last 20 years. If the Bills just went by the national player rankings the last 20 years, we likely have a better team for much of that time.

I'm convinced the Bills are going to take some tiny WR in the first round and ruin my draft night.

@SoCal Deek

Now that is solid info!

Yep. Difference is that Favre didn’t go to a Jets team with a great RB, exciting young WR, and best defense in the NFL.

I have colleagues that can pull hot woman in the bar after 10pm. I can’t. Looking at their great track record doesn’t help my misfortune. Beane has shown himself incapable of drafting great players in the 2nd. Doesn’t matter what other GM’s have done.

Wouldn’t be shocked at all if they make a run for the SB. That defense is scary good. Unlike the Bills top 5 defenses that have been a lot of smoke and mirrors, the Jets defense is the real deal. They don’t even need HOF Rodgers. They just need “slight above average” Rodgers. Jets lost 7 games last season where they scored 12 of less points. They lost 5 games where the Jets defense gave up 20 or less points. If Rodgers just is average. Scores 20 points per game. The Jets will be extremely hard to beat.

If you’re spent, you don’t think a week off would help? That’s basically the entire benefit of the 1st seed.
