If the season is cancelled, will the draft order stay the same?

Will it include the "playoff seeded teams"

%'s change. Sucks for Ottawa the most

- Boss34

that's gonna be real interesting...

when would they hold the draft?...if it was on it's usual date it might be during or after the playoffs dependent upon what they do

Agreed. But don't you think Frazier's schemes and that secondary will counter that?
- Michael Pachla


To a degree
Imagine his schemes + the addition of a stud pass rusher
Wouldn’t they be even more effective?

Early 90's was a great time to be out here. Just think about this. In San Francisco they banned plastic straws, but its legal to shoot up in public. Their workers have been instructed to wear puncture proof boots to avoid getting stuck by the needles all over the streets.

It's a situation where Pegula probably watched him at Pegula Ice Arena at Penn State and told Botterill to go get that boy

They did sign Addison. He had 9.5 last year in 15 games. The three years before that: 9, 11, 9.5.
- JetpackJesus


And we lost the 2 guys who had the most sacks for us last season (Phillips & Lawson)
We return NO ONE who has over 5 sacks for us last season

Addison is another #2 rusher
Which is ok
But we already have that in Hughes & Murphy

Need a true #1 guy who getting 12+ sacks
That’ll make Hughes more effective on the other side (plus inside rushers), put more pressure on opposing QBs forcing them into quicker decisions which results in more turnovers

I wouldnt overpay for any edge rushers in terms of cap or draft capital. The secondary provides ample opportunity for coverage sacks. Hell, the Bills secondary got two former Bills $30m contracts this offseason. Rushers should be plug and play with this defense

I think Shaq was the beneficiary of a good defense, not the other way around

I did read some good things on him...he has solid numbers, he's a captain and a leader who takes his job seriously but is a prankster in the locker room and doesn't seem to take himself that seriously...real character guy...if anything he's a character guy who may have a chance

U could argue 9.5 inside from Phillips was on the border of studly

But we are gonna need to be better than last year facing much better teams, and better QBs & passing offenses

The idea here is to get from a really good defense to a truly dominant one
To do that,
we absolutely need a legit #1 pass rusher

Many say it’s now the 2nd most important position in football behind QB

am of the opinion that i'd rather use cap-space and term on an o-line upgrade than worry about the type of d-stud I believe you're thinking about

Why’s that matter?
Make it work

I’d rather have a stud rusher making $15-20mil than Murphy & Star for example

I think we still have over $50mil in room right now anyways, don’t we?
