Dr. Who

Thanks for this. Folks go off without knowing any details.

Yep, but you know what they will probably do? Take a cb to replace the first round cb they just let go. LOL. Don't like your politics, but that's spot on funny.

So many to choose from.

Hard to disagree with this assessment. The cb cycle thing has been tried enough to be proven the wrong strategy.

Nice post. I hope Taylor makes a leap forward as his advocates anticipate. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it happens.

Well, that would be a nice signing if it happens. I'm going to remain skeptical for now.

It is possible I have simply inferred that folks realize development is a risky and necessary stage. Oh well.

I really don't think anyone believes drafting a qb in the first round is a quick fix. Almost any drafted qb will need development and the kind of infrastructure you allude to. I have some hope for Cardale Jones, but I would still like to grab a qb early, though our needs at wr and cb may preclude that.

I honestly have (perhaps unfounded) optimism that Watkins will be healthy. That kind of injury often needs a second surgery, but the foot is usually stable afterwards. Davis or Williams plus Watkins turns wr from a question mark to a relative strength, especially if we get decent #3 production from one of the new fellas. Of course, qb may still be an issue. Yeah, sorry. My real life is pretty stressful right now.

The comment I responded to talked about HC and QB, so I indicated we don't know what kind of head coach McDermott will be.

Analysis is right on target. You resign your A players and C players. The Bs go elsewhere. Too early to say what we have in McDermott. Pretty sure we don't have an elite qb.

I read, but cannot recollect the source, that the Bills and another team (Jets?) were interested in Glennon, but when the salary went beyond 8 to 10 million per year, they dropped out. I think it's clear OBD valued Taylor at a reduced price only, whether one calls that surmise or fact.

So, now the snarky and mean-spirited thread asking whether any team had even contacted EJ about a try-out can be replaced with snarky and mean-spirited comments about how every team needs a camp arm.

Sheltered and game manager are not mutually exclusive. I agree Wentz struggled latter half of the season. Eagles picked up some nice FA WRs. We'll see.

I was in favor of a late flier on the kid, but the maturity issues are really concerning. He doesn't seem Jim Kelly brash and a little rough around the edges. He seems Johnny Manziel entitled stupid who still doesn't get it.

Those damn Russians.

I think he would be a good signing. Unfortunately, this snafu has given competing teams a target to beat. Makes me feel he is less likely to sign with us now, but perhaps I am excessively pessimistic.

I am okay with Mike Williams at #10. The folks who say he is a player who "sucks" are engaged in hyperbole or not serious people. I prefer Watson or Mahomes and Zay Jones in the second. Ideally, trade back, pick a qb later in the first, draft wr and best db available with second round picks. That may not be possible and in any event, is unlikely to happen. Imo, Taylor's revised contract is a perfect bridge qb contract, but it only becomes so if your developmental qb is on the team. Most likely, that is not C. Jones.

Thanks for the link. That's encouraging.

Well, if you're a Buffalo sports' fan, you are forced to learn patience. I'm okay waiting.

John C, Snafu, Ricojes: Thanks for the good hockey talk and insight. I live in Atlanta where they put hockey below the WNBA. I am really looking forward to some young blood on the blue line. As far as top six, I was hoping Nylander would be ready for next year, but I heard he has been a disappointment so far.

We are due for a Mike Williams to work out for us.

Given the parameters of the question, I would choose Adams. He won't be there at #10. In several threads, I have posted my preference to trade down and get an extra second. I personally think Mahomes has potential to become a franchise qb. Unlike most of the other fellas who like him, I also think Watson is a good qb prospect, his arm velocity test notwithstanding. I'd like to get one of these qbs. I would go after Zay Jones and best db with the other early picks.

I'd be shocked if Adams, Hooker, and Lattimore aren't gone before #10. Foster might be there. I prefer Mike Williams, but WR is a good possibility, imo. I'm one of those who thinks qb need trumps all the other needs, of which we have many. I'd like to trade back and pick up an extra second. Find a way to draft Mahomes or Watson. Doubt any of that happens, however. Bills are picking #44 in the second round, btw.

Ah, so you're saying he's Tyrod on D?
