Please stop putting Burns and Maybin in the same sentence. The fact that Burns can move like that after putting on the required weight is what separates him from guys like Maybin. And he’s had solid production for over 2 years. I’d have no problem taking him at 9.

Murray goes 1. If Giants trade for Rosen, chance there could be bidding war for Haskins at #9 before the Broncos pick. Can’t imagine Elway passing on Haskins. I could see Raiders coming up to pick 9 if Haskins is still there.

Maybe the guy had a family situation that made him pick Houston, but I’m weary of guys who were 5 star recruits out of high school and don’t challenge themselves against the best competition.

Doesn’t help that nobody knows how old he is.

Only so many guys have the physical tools. Less have the required ability to process info quickly while 260-300lb dudes are coming after you. And even less have the leadership the position requires. It is probably the hardest position to play in any sport.

Can’t see the Giants trying to tank with Eli on roster. If that was the plan, I’m sure Eli would’ve retired. Doesn’t mean they won’t stink but probably not #1 pick overall stink. Trading for Rosen makes so much sense for them. They can probably get him for pick 37 and it doesn’t preclude them from taking a QB next year.

This is getting fun now. Raiders going back to their roots.

Burns is a tantalizing prospect. Not sure he has the size to hold up, but if he does he could be an All Pro. He’s also only 20 years old.

I do like that he comes from a family of NFL players. There’s gotta be some football instincts in there to go with immense physical talent. Beasley and Brown are good upgrades but it’d be nice to give Josh a ‘Dude’ to throw to.

Umm...OK. If you aren’t taking Haskins and everyone thinks you are, why would you leak anything to the contrary? Let everybody think you’re taking him.

Titans actually only paying $2m. Dolphins paying the other $5m. Not a bad deal for the Titans.

Didn’t realize Titans are only paying Tannehill $7m. That’s backup money. So I could see Titans sticking with Mariota for another year.

There’s our trade down partner

Pretty sure the window to sign the tagged player to an offer sheet ends before the draft.

We aren’t in a position to look down on or feel bad for any fan base or franchise. Bills haven’t won a playoff game in 25 years and have been to the playoffs once in 20 years.

I actually agree with your take on Oliver. In regards to Wilkins, it works both ways. He played with talented guys but he also might’ve been held back because he didn’t need to dominate every game. I think the Alabama game answered a lot of those questions when Lawrence was out and they needed Wilkins to dominate and he did on the biggest stage against other guys who are gonna play in the NFL.

His ceiling looked plenty high in the championship game. He was dominant. One thing I love about him is his upper body torque. He engages the blocker but has so much upper body flexibility that he gets around them easily. I think he could be a dominant interior pass rusher. I know he plays a different position, but dare I say he’s ‘Bruce-like’ in his ability to engage and use his upper body flexibility to get around blockers.

Probably means he wouldn’t have passed a physical.

I think Hughes signs an extension in the next 24 hours. Does that count?

Hughes always seems to get his hands on the QB, but doesn’t seem to be able to hold on to him. Maybe he lacks thumbs? Or needs to use stickum.

I’ll say this about Beane. Dude must never sleep. Seems like he’s in on every every player who’s available or might be available. In addition to not being out-worked by anyone, he also seems to have great relationships with other GM’s and player agents. Beane seems like a rising star but it’s all gonna come down to Josh Allen for him.

Is Clowney really that good or still living off his reputation like Sammy Watkins?

Kind of strange there has been no news about Williams in regards to Bills or any other teams.

They have almost the exact same needs as the Bills and by all accounts overpaid for 2 non-rush LB’s who they gave mega-deals to. And they have been linked to almost every high profile Free Agent.

Despite the inferiority complex around here, he probably never wanted to go to the Jets. They are a Redskins type outfit and NYC/NJ isn’t for everyone.
