I'm not sure of the dynamic but I do feel like the guys from the biggest programs (Alabama/OSU/ND/Clemson/LSU) tend to get overdrafted because of the success of their programs. Maybe because they get worked like rented mules while they're in school, maybe more than in lesser programs? Maybe not. Having said that, the draft really is a crapshoot. If i wasnt so lazy, i'd do some work in SAS or SPSS and figure out if there's any statistical correlation between draft position and success. My gut tells me that if there is a correlation, it's not real strong edit: ok maybe im not so lazy. some undergrad did a paper https://fisherpub.sjfc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1064&context=sport_undergrad here's the conclusion, though it seems to be focused on offensive skill positions, i wouldn't be surprised if it applied teamwide: Conclusion Acknowledging that the sample for this research did not include every quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, the data may not accurately represent the NFL as a whole. However, the findings display evidence that individual offensive skill players that were drafted in the third through seventh round of the NFL draft do in fact have more successful careers than the individual skill players that were drafted in the first and second round. More specifically, this data illustrates that 60% of the third through seventh round running back and wide receiver sample have been more successful on the field than 40% of the same first and second round sample. With this information, NFL franchise front offices can re-evaluate their draft day selections and perhaps take more risks that could likely pay off in the future.

all that guy does is score touchdowns, who needs him

did Harris steal your lunch money when you were a kid?

Did you watch The Buffalo Bills last year?

To his point, the Bills just had the best season in a very very long time with a Defense that was only OK, and a phenomenal Offense. a few extra first downs in either of the KC games, we might have been in it at the end. Drafting the 5th best EDGE probably doesn't change that dynamic, maybe if we got a Safety or CB that could cover Kelce that might make a difference, but those guys are thin on the ground, especially at 30

I watched every game he played in college. Never goes down on first hit, is fast enough, decent hands, and runs through people on a regular basis. When he's not doing that he's hurdling them. Some crazy stat about how many of his runs resulted in a 1st down, often times on a 1st down. Did you watch him at all?

if there's one thing we can take to the bank, it's what a NFL GM says about his intentions in the weeks leading up to the draft. You can set your clock to it, in fact

I trust Beane on this. My gut says they need a dynamic playmaker more than anything, and because of the rest of the offseason moves have the room for a bit of a luxury pick. I like Moss & Singletary but neither of them are game breakers, and neither one is keeping DCs up at night. Etienne & Harris are.

Either the highest motor lunchpail DE, or darkhorse D3 CB prospect left on the board

ugh. that means at least a couple months of hot takes by the smooth brains in the media about the jets surprising the Bills

welp enjoy LA i guess

So i may have missed the discussion around this, but did we really part ways with bojo because of the shank against the chiefs? Or was there some other reason?

Canadians would say that, wouldn't they

Maybe the issue is not enough Canadians love the CFL?

No, seriously, someone answer this

stop ruining our rep man

perhaps Buffalonians are more proud of our day drinking than fans of other teams. Weird, I know

Now now ladies I'm sure we're all doing our part

I think they're talking about alcoholic drinks

Good i guess? i mean he looks better than I do at LB

Grasp defeat from the jaws of victory? Yes, yes they can

never gonna field an ALL CB defense if we don't get busy drafting more CBs

Maybe at the right price. He's big but not huge, if that's the coin of the realm for this discussion. There's definitely a few guys in the draft that could fill Star's role, especially after a year of NFL training and diet. I assume that's Beane's plan. God help us please can we get to the draft

THis feels about right, a more balanced WR squad with another guy that can make clutch catches

GB - do you think his game will translate well into the Bigs? one think i noticed is that mot of those pancake blocks are happening when DEs or LBs are taking a bad angle to the play, he probably wont see as much of that on Sundays. If so though, i absolutely love his nastiness and how he finishes plays and seems like might be worth a 2nd round pick
