Haha if you are familiar with Binghamton the word "magic" doesn't really apply..

Idk...maybe they don't want us eating more bats??

So the Sens have the first confirmed case of the virus and a couple others with symptoms. They used the same locker room the Nets used the night before in LA. Nets have 4 confirmed cases among their players.

Corona virus or not ...... wouldn’t you think someone cleaned that locker room prior to the sens coming in?

Think it's safe to assume we have our linebackers (Klein Edmunds Milano), our DEs (Lawson Addison and their backups) and corners (White Norman Wallace Johnson) pretty much set. Our tackles are set too. Phillips, Star, Jefferson, Oliver, Taylor, Butler.

Not sure any of these spots need to be addressed in free agency other than a vet RB. Too bad Howard signed with Miami, but Carlos Hyde is pretty similar. Think you bring back Waddle for rotational RT. Wouldn't hate it. After finding the change of pace back, think you look for at least one WR, LB, DE, CB, S and maybe a QB.

First two picks, I go for LB an WR, not necessarily in that order.

I'm starting to see why Beane was comfortable giving up the later first. We don't have any massive holes in the starting lineup. The draft picks can all be filler and have at least 1 to 2 years to develop. Right now, this roster is in a strong position.

First of all Lawson doesn't play for the Bills anymore. I think you were going for Hughes. Not sure how you could miss DJ at DE either. Dat dude needs more PT.

THEY NEED TO REINFORCE THE O LINE. BACK UP THE BACK UPS. BY FAR THE WORST POSITION GROUP ON THE TEAM LAST YEAR. It goes without saying my football acumen dwarfs yours and others on here, but I'm surprised I'm the only one saying this. They can't waste all this talent because they over valued their O-Line. Major blunder.

I was thinking maybe RB or Troy Dye might be there at 54

Eh. Why bother wasting a high pick on an RB? This team loves their change of pace, veteran backs. I think we sign one at a very reasonable deal and hold onto Yeldon for another year. Maybe use a late pick on a developmental RB. I personally feel it's a waste of an asset when we could be getting much more useful players in an extremely strong WR class as well as developing a young LB and DE.

"Waddle" might be one of the worst names for a lineman ever...

The guy and his wife are awesome though. Had a chance to meet them briefly and they're wonderful people.

If D'Andre Swift is there in the 2nd when you pick, you run the to podium.

Yeah meant Hughes. DJ, didn't miss him (in my head) but he is in that "backups" convo, maybe with a rookie/UDFA competition.

I wouldn't hate supporting the OL in the 3rd, 4th round. As far as FAs are concerned, I don't think you're putting any big money into it.

As far as depth is concerned, I'm all for it. The depth on the OL is sub par.

Sorry to disturb you, Football Master

Yeah, Lawson shoulda read Hughes.. Johnson is Taron Johnson

And Murphy, for (frank)sakes, I totally dismissed him.

I mean, if he falls that far, there's definite red flags. However, even as last year has proven, effective RBs, starting caliber RBs, were found at least into the 4th round. There's still another year or two to determine if guys deeper than that become effective.

I just don't see the investment payoff. You either use a 1st to draft Barkley, or use a 3rd to draft guys like Montgomery or Singletary.

It's a ghost town here.
Very few offices are open right now but our office won't even think about closing.

Or trade up in the 2nd rd and take Trevon Diggs.

Why are Rivet and Peters quarantined?

Is it due to the employee family member from the Sabres testing positive?

I am shocked at the people that do not want to invest a little of this cap space in a better back up qb


literally stunned
