Not a natural route runner, sure, but pass catcher? Dude has amazing hands.

The more I research this player, the more I like this pick. A monstrous 6'7 player that some people think could even be a linemen if he put on weight, but runs a 4.5 and has incredible hands. Is a powerful blocker, so would help our average o-line, and huge frame for contested redzone catches. I would much much much prefer the upside of this player (he could take the league by storm, ala Gronkowski) over another standard 6 foot WR, that even at full potential, isnt going to be much better than "good". EDIT; 4.6 actually - not 4.5

UPDATED - v3.0 (FINAL) on p.13 - Gunner's 2023 Mock Draft
Einstein replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
That’s the thing - I don’t see any round 1 talents past pick 23 or so. We are getting bad value either way. No way Hyatt is even a #1 pick in many draft years. In fact, I think there is a good chance he slips to the top of the 2nd round. I think Washington goes in that 25 to 42 range. Not very often is there a gargantuan 6’7 tight end that some think could even be an offensive lineman, but also has incredible catching skills (even if underutilized in college). I think he could eventually be much better than Knox, and may take the league by storm. edit: Matt Miller says there are only 19 first round talents in this draft. So maybe I was being optimistic by saying 23. -

Great work as usual, but i’d rather have even Darnell Washington over Hyatt. -
New stadium cost goes up from $1.4 billion to $1.54 billion.

Well said. It completely lacks charm. A truly terrible design. -

Source? Don't think that happened. You might be able to find money going towards improvements of roads, or tax credits - but I see no evidence of the government giving Walmart billions to build stores. Again, source? This is much much much much different than cash. Getting a tax credit to reduce the tax burden on a businesses land to incentivize them to come or stay, is way different than handing them a check for nearly $1 billion dollars. -
GOAT debate related to era Montana vs Brady
Einstein replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
Brady had won 3 Super Bowl’s before the DB rule change occurred and before the league began to crack down on QB hits. Thats the most impressive part. Brady won SB’s in BOTH era’s. Remember when Nate Clements knocked Brady’s block off? One of the most savage QB hits in memory and Brady won the SB that same year. -
GOAT debate related to era Montana vs Brady
Einstein replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
Nothing against Montana, but anyone downgrading Brady is just hating. His sustained excellence for 20 years will never be seen again. -
This. He's not good. lol. Close! One of the lowest rated LB's in the NFL last season. Mostly because he is terrible as a pass defender. Doesn't fit our defense at all.

Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
Einstein replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Lamar has been rebuffing the Ravens attempt sign him for YEARS now. At the end of the 2020 season, the Ravens tried to negotiate a contract with Lamar and he wouldn't do it. May 1 2021: DeCosta (Ravens GM) says he’ll “work tirelessly to get a deal done,” and that, with the NFL draft over, “we’ve got other things now on our plate, and Lamar Jackson is one of those things.” May 26 2021: At organized team activities, making his first comments since the 2020 season ended, Jackson says he’s spoken with DeCosta about a contract extension. June 16 2021: Jackson then switches it up and says he’s “not really focused on [negotiations] right now." Lamar could have had a contract the last 2 years. That's why everyone keeps bringing up the last 2 years. This former NFL agent says the same thing: -
Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
Einstein replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I genuinely don’t think he understands. He keeps talking about how Lamar will make more on the transition tag this year than Allen, ignoring the previous 2 year payday. Ravens offered Lamar a huge deal in 2021. He also says Lamar’s deal is independent of Allen’s, despite the Ravens offering Lamar a contract worth more than Allen’s. He also compared Lamar’s strategy to Kirk, which isn’t the same as Kirk played under franchise tags, not transition tags, which is a large monetary difference, AND Kirk wasn’t being offered the second largest QB contract in the league and turning it down. I genuinely think he is just ignorant in this particular conversation. -

I can’t tell if you genuinely don’t understand this concept or if you’re just trolling, so i’ll just let it go. -
Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
Einstein replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Because that money is already lost. Even if he signs a monster deal now, he can’t catch up because even if it’s $40M more than Allen’s, that just breaks him even, and he’ll be under contract for 2 years longer than Allen because he dragged his feet. His best case scenario is he breaks even with what he could have gotten (assuming a $40M offset), and doesn’t hit free agency until 2 years after the other QB’s in his draft class. -

Einstein replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Which would be still be nearly $40M less than if he had signed. There is no way for Lamar to catch up to where he would have been. It’s impossible. -

Einstein replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
The money he would have made if he signed in 2021. ”Jackson was eligible for a new contract in 2021. He instead earned $1.77 million that year. Last year, under the fifth-year option, he made $23 million. That’s $24.77 million total over the last two years. Just look at Josh Allen. Even at the maximum allowed rate of three percent, he has received $64.214 million over the last two years. Jackson has received 100 percent of $24.77 million.“ https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/11/will-lamar-jackson-hire-an-agent-now-probably-not/amp/ -

I'll be shocked if you can't find good tickets for "cheap" at kickoff, even with the new stadium. Too many brokers buy entire rows. -

Einstein replied to cba fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
300-500 per game? where? you can buy CLUB tickets for $130 on gameday right now. People slash tickets as kickoff approaches. Thats what I wait for. Not to mention, season-ticket holders are on the hook for injuries, crap teams, crap coaches, bad luck, etc. Allen gets injured in Game 1 (God forbid), and all of a sudden you have 7-8 useless home tickets. Bills hire the next Dick Jauron? You can have 3 years (25-26) useless home tickets. -

New stadium cost goes up from $1.4 billion to $1.54 billion.
Einstein replied to cba fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
None of this changes the fact that the majority (or even half) is not coming from Pegula’s pocket. The crux of your argument is that Pegula is gauranteeint the payment without seeing the PSL money (but that’s every stadium/owner ever). And that Pegula could have moved the team. Neither one of those points changes that Pegula is NOT paying for half of the stadium. There is a reason why economists call this one of the sweetest and most team friendly stadium deals ever. https://www.si.com/.amp/nfl/2022/04/12/business-football-bills-stadium-deshaun-watson-contract -

Einstein replied to cba fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
We have already been over this, and NO, Pegula will not come close to 50% of the stadium costs. He will be closer to 20%. A massive portion of the $550M is coming from PSL’s (not Pegula’s money) and the G4 loan that is tied to the VISITORS cut of the ticket sales (again, not Pegula’s money). So essentially, the taxpayers are paying for the taxpayer funded part. And the fans are paying for most of the Pegula portion.

Yeah this was my main point. Agreed.
