Tmgm was clearly high on fasching.

Which trade did he not over pay? At least it wasn't (2) 1st.

seriously. This isn't the NFL. 2nd round picks are worth a little more than nothing in the NHL.

I don't see McBeane trading up to #2 to get a twice concussed QB, who hale the teams think is an a-hole. Now he's got the ceiling to be a top 5 qb, and he would be our a-hole, but two concussions as a 20 year combined with a perceived lack of pocket presence + the cost of moving up that high =huge red flags. I'd rather trade up to 12, take the 6'5" 237 pounder with an equally high ceiling (albeit with a big floor too), and take my chances on the other Josh. Sign Bradford for 2 years and let him sit for a year .....

The word from Senior Bowl practices is that while Josh Allen looked great in drills...
the more ppl that got added, the more he got confused & had trouble determining where the ball should be thrown
He might have all the physical tools,
but can he get the mental part of the game?

i member when the Redskins spent a "treasure trove of premium draft picks" to the Rams for RGIII when in reality the better qb was one 4th rounder, Kirk Cousins.

Let's be honest here RG3 was the right move he got destroyed by a idiotic coach

I'm not defending tmgm

But I thought this was kind of a tank move :

McNabb had concussions and may have won us a game or 2 more in mceichel.

d-lo was a play now non scoring threat and a project

Fasching was punting for 2 years down the road

- Boss34


Idk that a young defenseman like McNabb would’ve “won” us games
He’s not that kinda player
Seems like a stretch
And we could’ve just kept him in Rochester like we are doing this year with Guhle if they were that concerned about it

If Fasching had worked out,
that would be one thing
But he hasn’t
And McNabb has played well

It was a terrible trade

I agree.
Whom ever the bills draft at quarterback, the guy is going to be smart. Possibly a graduate or a someone who went to school for a real degree.

Think Peterman, but good at football.

* "whom" or "who" I get confused 😀

Supposedly
Teams leak false info all the time though

Sounds like McShay & Kiper both expect them to take Darnold #1

His accuracy is nice but i stil fear he turns into johnny manziel 2.0, beane and mcdermott seem to be all about character and the team as a whole. Scary

McNabb not that kind of player?
Guy that "win's" games.

Vegas wins quite a bit. 1st place?

And they extended McNabb, which adds to their "winning" formula

Cleveland has tons of Cap room though

What if they get Cousins?
They can trade down from #1 and get a lot of picks

And they’ve had a lot of picks the last 2 years or so

If they’ve drafted well & develop all these picks, they could get good pretty quick

Me too. Best anticipatory thrower in the draft and we know how it is to have a QB who can't do that

Yeah a few years later now though. He was talking about in 14/15 during the tank.
