That is some high level dot connecting by u. Nice job. I guess they weren’t joking when they said there was going to be a surprise at 4. Wow. I thought I liked Mayock.

Would like Bills to get AJ Brown. He will be best WR of this draft.

Man, really wanted Hock. Almost.

It's just from the Walter Football site. They do great work.

Gotcha. I thought that was your work. I like to check out their mocks cause they give u multiple rounds. Their site needs some upgrades. Slow to load and the page always crashes.

So Williams to the Jets and Wilkins to the Phins. Will be interesting to see who is the best D Tackle in AFC East. Hoping Oliver punishes the Jets twice a year for passing on him.

Agents are way beyond my interest.

I'm pretty sure Walter had Oliver #1 OA in their first mock, around this time last year. Feels like a steal.

I wanted Hockenson, but after seeing Oliver being drafted I absolutely love the pick. Our D is going to be great for a long time with White, Edmunds and now Oliver. Love the way the direction this team is going.

Hopefully we trade back to the first get the WR
- gerbe75pts



To no surprise, the Pats made a fantastic pick.


I think the Bills got a steal as well.


Oh and End Game was fantastic in every way.

The Pats drafted the best wideout in the draft.

And I’ll go on record and say at the end of the day, it won’t even be close. Harry is going to be a stud.

they have 10 picks

by bringing in 19 free agents, they don't need 10 picks

they need 4 or 5 really good picks

- homiedclown


But 12-16 of the free agents are guys we’d like to upgrade [url]

I thought he’d go either late first or 2nd round. I never thought he’d go top 20 like some mocks had him early in the draft process.

You know I thought I’m going to regret saying that immediately after the Pats pick was announced. We’ll see.

bills should trade up and go get one of those players with a first rd grade that fell

taylor, murphy, metcalf, williams, smith, winovich

whichever one they want, go get him

I'd rather bring in 5 quality guys from this draft then 3 or 4 and 6 or 7 practice squad players

package some of the 7th round picks and the 6th round pick to move up a few spots and get your man in rounds 3-5

If Beane can move up 5-6 spots with a 5th or 6th, or hopefully 7th, fine. But all his mid round moves, he missed out on Juju because he needed Zay.

Dalton Risner, OT is a great player. Jawaan Taylor, OT has a knee problem and clearly the entire NHL knows it, as he's a top 15 talent. I'm a huge fan of JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR. Those would be my 3 guys to get after. Byron Murphy, CB probably gets McBean's collective Richards hard, so watch them take him.

Williams doesn't fit McDermott's scheme. Would be extremely surprised with the choice.

If Beane uses all his picks, there will be 83 rostered players, with room to add 7 more FAs or UDFAs. Of course he can always release guys, but you just get the feeling he might pack some later picks up to move up once or twice.

TE & WR in 2nd round. Beanie can use 3/4 picks to move back into 2nd very easy! TE - Smith & Ole’ Miss WR’s DK or Brown

Just read that speculation. Interesting. I was high on Housley, and I promised never to be too high on a potential coach ever again. Big Swede, college, AHL.. fine. Just don't (frank) it up.

I don't know why everyone is so infatuated with DK. He's going to be a TE in like 3 years.

I didn't do much research on the TEs after the Iowa twins, but find us a pure weapon. Kroft can block.

Garrioch reported that yesterday, I think, yes?

He's certainly had a good run there.

The choice would be innovatively safe. It's a new word, try it out.
