How can both these things be true?

This is really the key. It’s about the development of Josh Allen and taking advantage of his rookie contract window. Even if the Bills use the 9th pick on WR this year (no sure thing that they will), it is highly unlikely that player would have as great an impact as AB will the next three seasons. What’s the plan for getting JA some quality offensive weapons? At this point, hopes and prayers.

Well, that’s better than UDFA-level character, I suppose.

What was the Chargers’ record (with Rivers) the year before Lynn arrived?

How did McDermott do against the Ravens? Or against the Chargers, for that matter? What’s the Chargers’ record this year? Another laughable take.

That nickname will go away as soon as McDermott starts winning. To some fans, it’s particularly galling to watch Sean clapping away while the stoic Belichick is making him look like a high school coach.

That’s why the idea of trading for Antonio Brown is very tempting. He’ll have a huge and immediate impact for at least two seasons. Any rookie WR they draft is going to take a while, if he’s ever any good at all. AB would be huge for JA.

The Colts turned it around in one offseason thanks to a new HC and the Jets gifting them a bunch of premium draft picks. Andrew Luck helps, too. And I think they get the Jets’ second round pick this year.

So he sucks based one half of one game? Is he also playing defensive back for Houston? What a horrible take.

Yeah, I mean, who want a second-year QB who leads his team to 11-5 (with a horrible offensive line), throws for over 4000 yards, YPA over 8.2, and rushes for 600 yards? Definitely overrated. All while coming off a serious knee injury.?

Run the damn ball

Yep, I thought Donald would be the pick at 9, if we stayed there. Just too good to pass up.

Donald had (and has) a relentlessness and love of the game that I don’t see in Oliver. In the two games i watched this year, he was nearly invisible. I guess we’ll find out...

And despite his incredible production at Pitt, Donald lasted until the 14th pick. I don’t understand why Oliver is being hyped as a top 3 pick. I think he’s going to drop like a stone.

It does not strike me as particularly good, no. In his senior year at Pitt, Aaron Donald (the guy some have tried to compare Oliver to) had 28 TFL and 11 sacks, against better competition. There is nothing “generational” about Oliver; he is an over-hyped bust-in-waiting. I will not be at all surprised if he’s available at 9 and I’ll be very unhappy if we pick him.

Never. The Redskins would not even trade their second and third this year to move up to 9 in this draft. We’d maybe get a second in the deal, with possibly a fifth rounder thrown in.

I stopped reading when I got to the part where you said the Redskins would give us their second and third round picks this year, plus next year’s first, to move up from 16 to 9.

Were you impressed by his thoroughly mediocre season in the amazing Conference USA?

It doesn’t matter what Pegs tells them now. If things unravel in 2019, they are toast. That’s just the way it is.

Can’t see this regime trading for a ‘20 first rounder. They need to win in ‘19.

I agree, but Pitt is very deep at WR and they probably think JuJu can be the guy in the future.

I did not know AB was already 30. I’m not sure I give up that pick for him, unless this draft is just devoid of WR talent, which probably isn’t the case. Maybe 9 overall for AB, and get back a 4th from Pitt. The Steelers already have AB’s replacement on the roster...

AB is a great player at a position of dire need and he’s shown no sign of slowing down. It worked out pretty well for Dallas this year, and AB is a better player than Cooper. OTH, Brown has some baggage, Pittsburgh’s bargaining position is somewhat compromised, and 9 overall is a very valuable pick. Tough decision...i might do it, esp if they don’t have any WR rated that high.

Great. Sign some run-stuffing DTs and LBs in free agency. They are very inexpensive and they're easy to find. Do not use the 9th overall pick on this. We need offensive playmakers and O-linemen. Period.

How’d that work out? Why do football coaches love to punt so much?
