I know that mock drafts don't do a good job of predicting exactly what each team will do, but they do give you a good sense of what the consensus of players' values are going into the draft. Every mock draft in 2019 had Ed Oliver going in the top 10, with most having him going in the top 5. Here they all are: https://www.google.com/search?q=2019+nfl+mock+draft&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS969US969&oq=2019+NFL+Mock+Draft&aqs=chrome.0.35i39j0i512l4j0i22i30l2j0i15i22i30j0i22i30l2.6997j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

For me, he is not a terrible player at all. But he didn't live up to his draft position and Beane doesn't seem to intend to extend him. Might as well get something if you can and use that cap space elsewhere. The fans on his new team won't hate on him so much because the draft position won't be a factor for them.

Probably a stupid question, but what does PRI stand for?

When the heck are these guys going to learn to not burn bridges on their way out the door? There are only 32 employers in their chosen field and they might be looking for a job sometime in the near future.

Groot too

I mean it makes a lot of sense. He wants an extension and Beane seems to be in no rush to extend him.

Where are you hearing that?

Both of KCs OTs left in FA and they paid a RT a huge contract to play LT for them. Hence the rating.

But the Cards are a poorly-run organization that leak things all the time. Agents too.

To be fair, how many guards can you name that have never played for the Bills? For me, it's Cole Strange because of the draft reach and Quinton Nelson because of how high he was drafted. Every time the BIlls are linked to a guard, I have to look him up.

The question really should be “how in the heck were the Bills, Jets and Dolphins that bad for that long?” All of those teams got high draft picks year after year and just kept whiffing.

They weren’t really a dominant team for 17 years. They had 2 waves at the start and towards the end of the Brady years with the Randy Moss blip in the middle. There were roster reset years, it just didn’t seem like it because they made the playoffs due to a weak division and Tom Brady.

I can honestly say that the IOLs that play for other teams that never played in Buffalo that I can name can be counted on one hand. And my knowledge is all from them being mocked to us in old drafts. And they’re all centres.

This thread will be two tons of fun. Almost as much fun as we'll have when the BIlls resign Bobby Hart.

How are the BIlls supposed to stop two other NFL franchises from completing a trade? They can't stop the Jets from trading for Aaron Rodgers. They couldn't stop the Dolphins from trading for Hill. If the deals are similar, I would think that the Cardinals would go to Hopkins and ask him for his choice. He would probably choose KC because He would be WR #1 Better chance to win a SB on the defending SB champs Wouldn't have to deal with 70-inch snowstorms. Sure, the BIlls could probably get Hopkins right not for Oliver and #27, but that would be a massive overpay. Is that what you want Beane to do?

No, we cut him.

When he says "32 QBs," he implies that he thinks that he should be a starter. Maybe Atlanta?

There are rumors all over the place about the Colts writing an offer sheet for Lamar.

He's got his mom calling up NFL GMs.

The draft is pretty much a crap shoot. Let's look at another team's pick. I think that most would agree that Baltimore is a good drafting team. Well in 2018, they took Hayden Hurst at pick #25. He was the first TE off the board that year. Well, two years later the Ravens liked Hurst so much that they traded him to the Falcons for a second-rounder. The Falcons declined his fifth-year option and he hit FA after his fourth season. He signed with the Bengals, which was lauded as a slam-dunk signing. Well, the Bengals liked Hurst so much that they didn't even offer him a contract after this season. He's now on the Panthers. That's four teams in six seasons for a guy that was considered to be a sure thing.

They are intent on giving Mac one last chance to secure the starting QB job before they have to pay him. This is year 3.

I can't keep track of this stuff. The NFL makes this as obtuse as possible to keep us engaged 5 1/2 months before the start of the season.

I want a coach's son with a high football IQ.

The Chiefs cleared a lot of cap space for something by restructuring Mahomes and they let Juju walk. I expect it's Hopkins or OBJ.

Just looked up Golladay's stats. He fell off a cliff after signing that big contract with the Giants.
