WR and RB are immediate needs

Again, with what? They aren’t going to trade their 3d and that wouldn’t be enough to move up more than 7 or 8 slots anyway.

No way. They probably won’t even draft OL with a late round pick. They are deep there.

With what?

Chances look good for a great RB or WR falling to the Bills

Wow, Edwards-Helaire is going to be devastating in that offense. Great pick,

If Belichick wanted Love, he would not have traded the 23rd pick

No. They are all busts?

Wow, Dolphins blew all three of the first round picks. Awesome.

Hope you’re right

We have nothing to give in trade.

Phins gonna get Antione Winfield, Jr. Too bad; he’s going to be a beast.

Who do chargers want? Murray?

Pats trade out of 23, reportedly

Yes.

They will win too many games regardless

I’m praying that the Dolphins trade away a ton of picks for Tua and/or to move up for a LT, but I don’t see it happening. They traded away half their team to accumulate those picks and they have holes everywhere that need filling. Using most of those picks to move up for an undersized, injury-prone QB and an offensive lineman is exactly the wrong strategy. I think Miami has wised-up, unfortunately.

Simms did not say Helaire would go in round 1; he said he feels he is an end of round 1 talent and the best RB in the draft. I like Simms a lot, but I think he’s a day 2 guy myself.

He does remind me of Singletary. I wasn’t advocating the Bills draft him, although I would not object.

Chris Simms has him as RB1, and the only one deserving to go in the first round.

Sure, I’ll call them. What’s the number?

The governatorial insanity is spreading far more rapidly than the virus itself. I have not looked closely at the issue, but I seriously question the legal basis for a governor’s ability to unilaterally close almost the entirety of a state’s schools and economy. Hopefully there are serious challenges to these orders in the legal pipeline—to the extent our court systems are still intact.

I think it is a bad thing. It’s one more step down the road of humans isolating themselves from other humans, which is a profoundly alienating experience. We are genetically hard-wired to live in close physical proximity to and mutually rely upon a group of other humans. As our society evolves more toward individuals being able to learn, work and play without close contact with others, we move farther away from that hard-wired core. The result is widespread alienation and unhappiness, with huge consequences in terms of things like mental health, PTSD, and suicide. This latest crisis seems likely to exacerbate those trends, and I would argue that it’s not a good thing.

B-Man, many thanks for this and similar posts on this topic. Also a special thanks for turning me on to Alex Berenson, who’s Twitter feed on the Coronavirus panic is absolutely invaluable.
