In the year 2525, if Shadeur makes it out of this draft alive..
Unfortunately, most of the younger fans won't appreciate how this is one of the best comedic posts ever.

I don't know who is taking this worse, Shedeur or Mel Kiper.
Mel has aged about 10 years each round Shedeur went undrafted. If he goes undrafted, Mel will look like this by the end of the draft:

Cleveland has 1 more 3rd round pick & Las Vegas has 2 back to back comp picks. Shedeur doesn't make it out of the 3rd round.

ok, this probably sounds stupid to many of you...but what does 'tipping picks' mean?
I gather it's defined as revealing player picks prior to formal announcement to public through TV or radio.
Am I on the right track?
Are there posters here who somehow know ahead of the broadcasted Commish announcement? Insiders? Family or associates of prospects when the calls are made? NFL insider info from somebody within the league?
Anyway, it would take a tier-one A-hole to deliberately spoil it for others just so they can say, "I was first".
Chris Berman used to tip the Bills pick on the ESPN broadcast before the Bills turned in the card. He'd say a "cab driver" told him. The best one was when the guys on the broadcast were getting ready for the Bills pick & Berman says "how about John Fina?" a guy who was so far off Mel Kiper's radar that he didn't even get a writeup in Kiper's draft report.

Not sure I get the Willis comparison. They are polar opposite prospects.
Willis was touted as a 1st round pick. He was even said to be "The next Josh Allen" even though he's about half the size😄. From the middle of the 1st, the guys on ESPN kept mentioning him & trying to guess where he'd go. The Shedeur Sanders hype is very similar to Willis regardless of their differences on the field.

Nope. Taiwan Jones (no relation to the former Bills player), played linebacker at Michigan State before spending two seasons with the New York Jets (2015-16).

My favorite draft guru was Dave Te' Thomas, who died 4 & 1/2 years ago. I 1st heard Dave Te' on a radio show & saw him on various cable sports shows. In the late 1990s I was a subscriber to his "Poor Man's Guide to the NFL Draft" that he later renamed the NFL Draft Report. During one interview he gave out a phone number to order his draft report. I called the number from my desk at work and he answered the phone himself. One of the 1st things he said was the price, which was around $70, much more expensive than the other guides. I figured I'd try it to see if it was worth it (it was!) and then he started talking about football & a lot of other stuff. He talked about how they thought he was going to die from cancer & one publication even announced his death while he was hospitalized. After about 45 minutes I had to get back to work and we ended our conversation. When the Poor Man's Guide arrived at my apartment's door, it came in multiple boxes. There were comprehensive reports on a lot of prospects totaling hundreds of pages. In later years his work was on the internet as he no longer published his printed guide. Dave Te' battled cancer for about 25 years before passing on 10/14/2020. One of his last drafts was 2018, he had the right QB as "the cream of the crop". https://www.bigblueview.com/2018/4/21/17264242/nfl-draft-report-josh-allen-cream-of-quarterback-crop-2018-nfl-draft-sam-darnold-josh-rosen

Point of order:
If our first pick is a QB or Long Snapper then it’s perfectly okay to tip the pick.
We don't need a QB or LS, but we really need a PUNTER. The ghost of Al Davis says go for it.

I have a friend that comes over to watch the bills with us and he will be checking game updates on his phone sometimes and start grinning like an idiot when the bills are driving. He tips everything off and it’s incredibly annoying to the point where we don’t let him have his phone anymore lol.
Please don’t be that guy.Years ago, before I found a place where I can have my own TV with sound on, I used to go to satellite bars & listen on the radio which was ahead of the TV. Sometimes I couldn't help myself & started cheering and telling my friends "wait until you see this". Sometimes I'm on the phone with Petrino & one of us has an earlier home broadcast feed (usually him because he gets the NYC channel). I don't mind being told ahead of time, because I don't have a suspense gene. I prefer to know ASAP & I even will go on the internet when I'm home watching a movie to find out how it ends. You can't spoil anything for me.

Kirk Cousins numbers dwarf Kelly’s.
This is more proof of the uselessness of QB stats.
You need to be tied to a chair & forced to watch hours of Kelly playing & Cousins playing and you will be cured of your obsession of stats.

A bargain. Not only do you get a nice house, but you can go next door & tell the coach what he's doing wrong. A disgruntled fan's dream house.

Remember, Elway would have traded pick 5 to the Bills if B. Chubb was off the board. So not only was Elway not taking Allen, but he was going to trade the pick to the Bills so the Bills could draft Allen.
One of the all time best stories involves Brett Favre. Jets head of player personnel, Ron Wolf, loved Brett Favre, but the Jets didn't have a 1st round pick. Atlanta drafts Favre 1 pick before the Jets in the 2nd round. A year later Wolf gets the GB GM job & trades for Favre who goes on to have a HOF career.

I once had a bad high where I was paranoid and thought I was peeing my pants all night. I was freaking out that people were going to make fun of me so I kept going to the bathroom to clean up....dry each time. It was crazy lol....I really did think I was peeing my pants.
Wait until you reach my age...same feeling without any drugs. 😁

He is probably going to go in the top 5. Beane won't be able to trade that high up. If a player falls on the board that Beane likes then maybe he can move into the low 20's, but I doubt much more than that.
Are you Doug Whaley still trying to justify the Watkins trade up?

. Did Nate Peterman "temper" Josh in his rookie year? lol
That was Jake Fromm's job when the Bills drafted him. 😀 I remember Boston writer Dan Shaughnessy saying Fromm would beat out Allen

I have lived most of my life in WNY, and have had a lot of bad, greasy, bland sauce tasting, toppings sliding off, from local pizza sports. I have had Pizza over my life from dozens and dozens of local places, from Depew, Cheektowaga, Williamsville, Lancaster, the city of Buffalo, Tonawandas, Lewiston, Niagara Falls and East Aurora. Some good, some not so good.
When I get a pizza from Dominos it is the same each and every time, consistent....and while its not loaded with toppings, it is better than all of the 'bad' pizza's I have had from local spots.
When I lived in Kenmore in the early 1980's I used to go to Pico's in Tonawanda & get a whole pie for the Bills road games. I had heard of Pico's from my freshman roommate from N. Tonawanda in the early 70s. After I moved away I went back & it was no longer Pico's. Here's a Facebook link that is dedicated to Pico's:

To be fair, it was one preseason game and one regular season game (not against scrubs) for Rob Johnson. In 1997 Mark Brunell (QB of the Jags) injured his knee in the 2nd preseason game. Rob Johnson was the starter for the third preseason game. Couldn't find any stats for the 4th pre-season game, but assume he didn't play (cause back then only 3rd-5th stringers usually played the 4th preseason game). Johnson would then go on to start the first game of the year for the Jags---Week 1 of the regular season vs. the Baltimore Ravens (as Brunell was still recovering). It wasn't a very good Baltimore team (they would finish 6-9-1 with Vinny Testeverde as their QB), but it was their starting line-up, on opening day, in Baltimore.
Rob Johnson's stats for those two games in 1997 (before becoming a Bill in 1998):
Preseason week 3 vs. 49ers: 22 of 29 for 241 yards, 1 TD (passing), 0 INTs, 16 Rushing yards, 1 TD (rushing)---in a 28-20 Jax win (albeit preseason). [SF did go 13-3 that year, but not sure how they managed this preseason game, i.e., how many starters played and for how long, etc.]
Regular season week 1 vs. Ravens: 20 of 24 for 294 yards, 2 TDs (passing), 0 INTs, 31 Rushing yards, 1 TD (rushing)---and a 28-27 Jax win.
But, your point of possible fool's gold (with Milton, in relation to Johnson) still stands.
And interesting to note, Johnson only saw 13 more snaps total the rest of that year (1997).
He went: 2 for 4 for 50 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs, 3 sacks, 3 Rushing yards (on 9 attempts), 0 TDs
[Not quite so pretty, but I guess it was tough to knock a guy for those stats too much when it was across 4 games---basically coming in and playing 2-5 snaps in each of those games.}
When the trade was 1st announced, I looked at his stats & started a thread titled "Rob Johnson, the sacked man." Unfortunately, I bought into the hype from Wade & was optimistic about him. I even was on the Johnson side of Flutie v Johnson.
It turned out my 1st impression was the correct one.

Agreed, which means the trade makes even less sense.
It makes sense if NE believes Milton is going nowhere in the NFL. Either that or they're trying to get rid of everyone responsible for ruining their tank in the season finale.

So what? If Maye were to get hurt, do you really think Josh Dobbs keeps them in contention for a playoff spot?
Even if Maye doesn't get hurt, do you really think NE is in contention for a playoff spot? Their over/under win total in futures is 7.5 wins.

He's already used up all his college eligibility. Do you want to see college veterans who eventually retire from playing a decade or 2 of college ball? 😄
