He's worse at pass rushing than he is at playing MLB. Everyone who wants to move him to OLB/DE is only wishing based on his size. He has no fire or power to get to the QB. 2020 he had something like 76 blitzes and tallied ZERO pressures.

Murphy or Vernon Butler off the top of my head.

It's all horseshoes and handgrenades for us message board GMs. Every site will have different rankings, just like every team will have different rankings.

You had me until the end. We traded down to #17, and still took the 1st QB off the board. Sure, it was a pick based purely on need, but I cant call it a "ridiculous" reach with the trade down and first dibs. Whitner will always be the best example of reaching on need. A top-10 pick used on a need when there were many better players there for the taking.

Right on. I'm just going off Draftek rankings since it's so hard to guess who will be available when. Im interested in Elam too. I also believe McD could make do with a 3rd or 4th round CB. But if the talent is there and available, and we really dont have any other holes, might as well.

That (OG if Bates leaves) is a need-based pick, and not a BPA. WR would be early if there was a big talent there (Williams) since they would be BPA at position of need.

HEre are all the CBs, WRs, and C/Gs that we met with at the Combine (that we know of). Play mix-and-match from here: Cam Jurgens - C/G Nebraska Logan Bruss - C/G Wisconsin Zion Johnson - C/G Boston College Lecitus Smith - G Virginia Tech Dohnovan West - C/G Arizona State Kenyon Green - C/G Texas A&M Josh Thompson - CB Texas (Senior Bowl) Roger McCreary - CB Auburn Trent McDuffie - CB - Washington Kaiir Elam - CB Florida Kyler Gordon - CB Washington Andrew Booth - CB Clemson Jameson Williams- WR Bama Treylon Burks - WR Arkansas Garrett Wilson - WR OSU Chris Olave - WR OSU John Metchie III - WR Bama I could see something like: 1. CB McDuffie 2. WR Metchie 3. C/G Jurgens

Every GM will tell you they want to draft BPA. But every GM ultimately ends up drafting BPA at position of need. You dont want to reach on need too much, but it always plays into the equation. Beane is no different. All his picks are typically BPA at a position of need.

Depends on which WRs and which CBs are on the board. Have their been any runs? etc We met with CBs, C/Gs, and WRs the most, so I'd bet our first 3 picks come at those positions. The order depends on how the draft falls. If you gave us some different combos, we might be able to give better answers.

No, there are always a handful of cases every year. But people forget in the year between, and then overreact when it happens again.

Here's the direct clip

This is VERY interesting stuff. Beane running a tight ship.

I dont think he is either. Indy has been mentioned as a landing spot for Mayfield for a week now. I doubt that comes from Reich or only Reich. My post you quoted was only about how they'd be able to work together. Not that Reich is pushing for it.

I think they balance each other out. We already saw what happens when they mix another choir boy with him. Reich could use a little of Mayfield's fire, and Mayfield could use a little of Reich's humbleness. edit: If Reich can work with 1980s Jim Kelly, he can DEFINITELY handle Baker Mayfield.

I agree with you on Baker, and yet, the Browns FO is looking even worse. Poverty franchise. The fans dont deserve having to deal with Haslam. Indy.

TAYLOR LEWAN, OFFICIALLY ON NOTICE!

Well there it is

He ended it with "SHAQ SIGN THE CONTRACT"

The Dolphins, Jets, and Pats subreddits were all in full meltdown last night after the Miller news broke. Everyone fearing for the lives of their QBs. Most already conceding the division to us. Was a fun night of reading.

Drafting Dean would allow us to move on from Edmunds and have only 1 real LB contract (Milano).

I would LOVE to be able to grab Nakobe Dean in the 1st, but I dont think we do even if he is there.

I think they'll stay put and have some combo of CB, WR, C/G in rounds 1-3. Leaning towards taking that C/G in the 3rd, depending how the draft falls. No moving up since the real difference makers will be going too high to get to from #25.

Retirement is perfect. Even less reason to release him or for the Bills to do anything. Let that take care of itself. Thanks for the Bease link. Even more reason he got released sooner rather than later. Not sure the point you are arguing here.

Links?

Nah, we knew Bease was on his way out, especially after the permission to seek a trade. Star hasnt been given anything like that yet.
