I am fine taking ruldolph at 22 and using the other 5 picks to solidify the roster
- homiedclown


Me too

And maybe a stud WR (Ridley) is there at 12?

So if the Bills somehow maneuver to get into the Giants pick at 2, do the Jets then start working the phones with the Browns at 1?
I would think so, and it could be a nice windfall for the Brownies, pick 3 & 4 ++.
Fun times ahead

Does anyone think that 90 and 23 really started to perform and produce accordingly, when Housley switched up the system to more of a trap game?

It’s been on my mind that next year, if Housley goes back to up tempo hockey, can they maintain this production in that system?

Sabres play the Coyotes this Wednesday. HUGE tank game, although Vancouver scares me - I can see them finishing last overall. Detroit has lost their last 9 and are sinking fast too. It's going to be an anxious end of season again ...

ROR has had a few down periods this year, but it's somewhat of a myth that he started slow. In fact, he had 7p in 10g to start the year.

Sorry, but I don't see the Giants swapping from 2 to 12 ... too far of a drop-off. I don't think there's an acceptable package that the Giants would take from Buffalo. Maybe all of our picks this year ? Or maybe some future # 1's ?

I'm still (frank)ing pissed . The Connor McDavid draft all over again lol

I think the cherry on top would be the Sabres losing the lottery and picking 4th

Don't be surprised if it does happen.

Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer 2 HOF good enough for me
- gerbe75pts



Gerbe right again huh. I must of missed when Rodgers played for UCLA.

Plus he was drafted 24, hurts your argument you need to get to the top (which unfortunately we didn’t have enough ammo)

Plus you say McCarron sucks because he can’t beat out dalton a page before this then say dalton is HOF caliber and would be good enough for you?? Da fuq??? You can’t even argue your stance for one page.

But Josh Allen don't want him a 56 passer rating it's just bad news and it looks like it's getting worse

the list of QBs that had a passer rating like that are not even in the NFL ( unless I am missing someone )

- gerbe75pts



Matthew stafford, #1 overall pick 2009 draft. I would say he has had a solid career.

Possibly so as it is a big drop off.
Maybe they need to do the deal with Broncos 1st ... get to 5. Then go from there?
It is beging to cost alot...but if they can package something with their 22nd to get to 5 ...then they have a very strong package to offer up..
Maybe even to Cleveland for their 1st in exchange for 5th and 12th.
I haven't looked at the Value Chart yet so talking out my ass right now

That chart is only a guideline. Need a team willing and it depends who’s available. Some years you may need more and some less because of the quality of prospects.

This year seems like you need to overpay, ex jets using 3 2nds to move 3 spots.

To go to 22 to 5 prob costs another 1st next year both 2nd and both 3rds if you wanted to keep your other 1st.

I guess I’ve just noticed they seem a lot more engaged, which is entertaining.

I’m curious if this confident play transfers to an uptempo system.

Enjoy the parade 🤙🏻

So out of every Single player that had that passing rating only one Is good

That has to be concerning to you that’s like winning the lottery with those odds

I think the only way we get to 2nd if we package the picks with McCoy

These prices to move are way too high for a QB, who like so many others, might be a bust.

I am not about to give up the farm for a QB that nobody (besides Gerbe) can tell me is the clear cut best QB in the draft...

There isn't an Andrew Luck in this draft

IMO, always go with the guy who was viewed as the clear cut before this season.

Darnold is the #1 guy. His game was under such a microscope all year.

Whenever a guy is #1, more people look for bad in his game than good

Do you guys think when the Jets made the offer did the Colts call the bills to say hey did you want to counter this?

Or is that not common courtesy anymore

- gerbe75pts

I think the jets went in panic mode and overpaid for fear the bills were gonna move up to 3

Then Jake Locker should have been the first pick when he decided to go back to school for his senior year.

but 12 months ago, we were suppose to tank to get one of those "can't miss" qbs



scout them heavy and stand pat, one will probably fall to us at 12
