I don’t even think the Cowboys & Vikings are in that top group

In no order:
Seattle, Saints, Packers & 49ers in the top tier

- jdfitz77

bottom line

the bills are worse then 2 teams, and has a better chance to go to the super bowl then seattle with the 6 or so other teams fighting it out


again, this started because gerbe said the seahawks are going to win the super bowl


seattle is a better team then the bills right now, but their road to the super bowl would be harder then the bills, esp if the chiefs or the ravens take a step back

Funny cause Nightingale just announced there new 3 prong scouting, Chayka would have been a interesting hire.

I’ve never understood giving draft grades before seeing these guys develop over the course of a few years.

CeeDee Lamb should elevate that offence nonetheless.

Vanek’s 7 for 7 was pathetic. Took Darcy 30 seconds to sign it. Is that what you’re saying?

I’m saying I believe Aho’s agent did a poor job of interpreting his clients value.

And that Bergervin should have known that Carolina was going to match that offer sheet.

Aho gets UFA status in 4 years though, when the league should recover from covid cap issues

big payday then

I'm old school too, but sounded like Kym was "lean"ing that way.

He's a wonder child.- a wiz kid

Give him a % of the franchise instead of paying him.

Hometown guy , part owner, makes sense.

Probably wont happen

I think no to the Vikings, but Dallas could be tough, they had a good draft.
- Buff36


Maybe,
but i think they’ve gotta prove it before u can put them in that tier
Their defense needs to be a lot better

Well considering Wawrow has a very good record, I'll take his word over the speculation from The Hockey Writers.

Doesn't mean it won't happen. But multiple people, now including Dreger and Lysowski, say there isn't a connection that they know of to Buffalo.

- TheSabresTaco



Fair enough 🤝

I get hopeful and lose focus.

I get what you’re saying, but still disagree

Seattle is closer to the top teams in the west than the Bills are to KC & BAL

Yeah and they signed a few good FA on the D side, and let's see what Cobb does for them. The draft will just add to that.

not disagreeing

6 teams slugging it out, is different from the bills only needing 1 of those 2 to slip and then they are set up for a play in game for the super bowl


the nfc is so bunched up, I would not be surprised if the seahawks, 49ers or saints miss the playoffs, and I think they are just as good on paper as baltimore

I got a situation in my keeper league where I got Zeke, Henry and AJ Brown. U can keep up to 6, but I’m trying to only keep those 3 so I can get an earlier pick for one of the touted rookies of this class. Cee Dee is someone I’m targeting, but not 💯 in love having two pairs of RB/WR from the same team. There’s only one ball to go around in Dallas.

U were the only one in the world hyping Mahomes pre draft. U think that’s enough to slow him down?

True
But i think Lamb is gonna be the long term #1wr for them
He might not be a stud right away statistically,
but you’ll love having him going forward I’d bet
He’s basically tyreek hill

Seattle is a russ Wilson injury away from picking top 10.

Jets now are

if you can't stop them, try to outscore them

Nice!!! Thursday Night Football at stadium in OP yet to be named. That’s a reason to go home for a game. Don’t get much bigger than that. Hopefully fans in the stands by then. I’m optimistic and thinking we’ll see them in baseball before season is over.

Sure. Denver has a lot of young talent on offense.
Just a matter of how good a QB Lock can develop into

The thing i wonder about Ruggs with the Raiders,
is that’s in 2-3years when he’s really developed into a potential stud, is he gonna have to deal with the Raiders breaking in a new young QB for a couple years bc they finally give up on Carr being a guy good enough to beat Mahomes, Jackson, etc?

As long as Dallas is smart & locks up Dak long term, i think Lamb is in the best spot for success long term (statistically)
