Oh yeah, it was a Super Bowl, wasnt it... All fair points. I'm not saying he's great either. I like the "mobile Andy Dalton" description. But he has a decent resume, and I can see a late-round team giving up a 1st for him. I think if New England was in the 20s, they'd pull that trigger. But #15 is a bit high for him.

If Darnold gets them a 6th, now they know that they can trade Zach Wilson in 3 years for a 5th! Looks like McNair's plan worked! <tinfoilhat.emoji>

Age: 29, right in his prime, so not an issue. Potential: Took his team to the NFC Championship last time he played a whole season. Contract: $25M/year isnt that bad for a starting/franchise QB. Plus can be renegotiated to a new, long term deal to bring that down a little. I'm not a huge Jimmy G fan, but I dont get why folks completely write him off around here.

If Darnold gets a 2nd + others, why not?

Good trade for Carolina and Darnold. GTFO of NY. I also assume that 2022 2nd Rd pick is conditional? Might become a 1st on performance?

I often dream of the parallel universe where Nix/Gailey drafted Bulaga in the 1st and Gronk in the 2nd in 2009, and gave us a team with the personalities of Fitz, Lynch, Gronk, and Stevie Johnson. May not have won much, but wouldve been an entertaining team. To party with, at least.

Marshawn is a national treasure.

I like how you are in here pushing the idea of "an open-air stadium, paid for 100% by the Pegulas". Sounds totally realistic. Good luck with that.

I guess that's a no? Too bad, I highly recommend.

He was in this one. You didnt see him?

How is closing up the building 33%-50% of the budget? It isnt going to be retractable. That isnt really reasonable in WNY, nor will it be retracted when most fans wish it to be. Not worth it. Just put a roof on. Good dome pun

Plenty of rookie WRs step in and go right from the start. The key is having a good QB and established system, which we now have. And plenty of 1st round picks step in and go right from the start as well. While I agree it is always best to give players time to learn, if possible. That is also a luxury. And not one I really want to give a 1st round pick, which is the big qualifier in this discussion. (or even a 2nd round pick for that matter) Drafting a WR at #30 to be our 6th or 7th WR while we have so many other needs that could be addressed with a 1st round player (CB, DL, LB, TE, RB), who could make an immediate impact, just doesnt make the best sense to me.

Absolutely. At this point, whatever Beane does, I trust him.

But still more than none which is what the option would be if they do an open-air stadium. Again, no one is expecting a major revenue generator. But something is more than nothing.

Agreed on the explosive part. Just not sure we have room on the roster for a new WR this year. Diggs, Sanders, Beasely, Davis, McKenzie is 5, plus Hodgins... I'd like to see McKenzie used more to add some of that explosiveness. Then look to add a WR early in the draft next year after Sanders and McKenzie are gone. Rookies dont need a lot of time to "develop" when they are coming into the system with Josh at QB. He'll get them the ball. We should be able to plug and play next year if needed.

? Diggs has 3 years left Beasley has 2 years left Davis has 3 years left on rookie deal Hodgins has 3 years left on rookie deal Sanders and McKenzie are on 1 year deals, so I guess you could say the entire group is only together for 1 year. But the core of the group is here for a couple more years at least.

Sorry for the loss of your buddy. Sounds like you gave her a wonderful life, and she returned the favor. Good girl, Penny. Rest easy, now.

Weird rule, especially considering our Front 7 was the weak link last year, and the positions are so different, but ok.

I wont ever complain about adding to the trenches. But wondering if these are the right guys at the right spots to help the team.

Haha, Ive said the same thing. For a fanbase who has learned to live for the Draft (and mock drafts, the combine, etc), all this winning is really ruining our fun! Good question/observation. I had to look it up when you said "light". Onwuzurike is listed at 293lbs. Yikes!

Buffalo Bills Jaelan Phillips, DE, Miami The top two running backs are off the board, and it's a little early for Javonte Williams (North Carolina). So why not inject some life into a middle-of-the-road pass rush instead -- especially with Jerry Hughes turning 33 before the season. Phillips had 8.0 sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss in 2020. 61. Buffalo Bills Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington The Bills finally halt Onwuzurike's slide down the board. He is my No. 35 prospect, but there aren't many teams searching for a defensive tackle right now. And while Buffalo might have preferred a running back, tight end or offensive tackle, Onwuzurike is sudden and creates havoc. He could slide in next to Ed Oliver.

I expected cheesy/campy but action-packed, and that's exactly what I got. When I turned it on, I wasnt sure if I'd make it through the whole thing. But gotta admit, within 30 min I was routing for that chimp, and had to see how it played out! Not a bad way to kill a Wednesday night while still locked down.

If Beane somehow pulled off JOK at #30 and Ossai at #61 I might pass out from loss of blood flow.

Personally, I agree. And it would be smartest for Pegula to fund it all himself, and then he'd be able to CONTROL it all himself. But I dont think that will happen either. It's not just the Convention Center aspect of it. It's being able to use the building outside of Bills games in any manner. If they build a new stadium downtown, and it is an enclosed building, there is no reason the MAC Football Championship shouldnt be moved there. Ditch Ford Field. Could probably get another Bowl game there too.

They'll be there. You'll be there. Everyone will be there. And those that dont go, wont be missed. Plenty of folks waiting to take their spots, especially with a winning team. No one is concerned with the Tailgate Die Hards, nor should they be.
