So use all our premium picks to move up for a WR in the deepest WR draft in memory? Hard pass.

That's why the return man almost always just lets the kick land in the endzone if he doesn't plan to return it. This knucklehead didn't, but the league bailed him out.

Your argument would be more persuasive if there wasn't already a specific rule in place for how a player with the ball "gives himself up." Hint: it does not include merely tossing the ball to the nearest official. You are correct, sir.

It was an illegal forward pass--not a fumble. Because it was an illegal forward pass, it was a dead ball as soon as it hit the ground. Because the illegal forward pass occurred in the Texans' end zone, it's a safety. It would have properly been called a Bills TD if (1) the Bills intercepted the illegal forward pass and returned it for a TD or (2) it was a fumble that the Bills recovered in the Texans' endzone.

There are some good options in FA. Highly unlikely that a rookie is going to come in and make a big difference on the O-line, especially at tackle.

I hope you’re right. I also hope they don’t trade up for one of the “elite” three. In a historically deep and talented class like this one, and especially at WR, I think it’s exceedingly difficult to accurately predict who the best NFL players are going to be. If you’re going to trade up, do it to get back into the second or third to get someone like Pitts or Claypool after you get your guy at 22.

Not every team that passed on McLaurin was desperate (or should have been) for help at WR. Hardman got limited targets because of how ridiculously deep the Chiefs’ receiving corps is, but he averaged over 20 YPC. He’s also a great kick returner and one of the fastest players in the league. I expect him to blow up in 2020.

Terry McLaurin, Mecole Hardman...want me to keep going?

At least...And traded up

I think the complaint is about the guys he DIDN’T draft...

I’m thinking we stay at 22 and take Mims. Seems like a perfect target for Josh. Then BWA at 54.

Not only are they a great team, they have been an NFL assembly line over the past five years or so.

Well, if the Biils are not scouting Clemson extensively, they’re not doing their jobs...

In his podcast, Joe Marino said an inside source at the combine told him that the Bills really like Higgins...

The Redskins’ third option is to trade the pick for a king’s ransom to a team who wants a QB or Young. The Redskins are a bad football team and they could walk away with a boatload of picks, without falling out of the top 6. As good as Young might be, d-line is really their only strength.

And when was that?

Other than Head Coach?

Or next Thursday

Their record for trading up in the second round is not good. There will be some really good WR talent available at 54...this past year, in a less deep receiver class, McLaurin, Hardman and Metcalf were all there to be had at 54. Don’t panic! I’d probably be looking to trade back and end up with three second round picks.

If there is one thing we’ve learned, it’s that in a draft like this, no one really knows which of these receivers are going to be stars and which are not. I don’t buy the idea that the consensus top 3 guys are guaranteed stars. If I’m the GM, I’m not going to panic and move up in the first, and I’m going to take a swing at at least two of these guys with my first 4 picks.

Draft Capital!

Yeah, the off-season can be very long. There is an asinine thread started about every 15 minutes.

Yep. I can’t see the Lions keeping this pick, unless someone trades up to 2 for a QB and Young falls to 3.

yes, please

Kinda surprised Pittman isn’t on the list...
