^ yeah I am a bit stumped they didn’t keep Gabe Davis?

They have 11 draft picks this year.

Guessing it was salary cap related as to why the Bills didn't try to keep Davis. Plus, Davis is a Florida boy, probably wanted to go back home too.

Ultimately Josh Allen's big contract and the fact that you can't pay everyone probably played a part in Buffalo's housecleaning. Life in pro sports these days....

Players like Diggs kill locker rooms. Though a talented player I would not want him on my team.

Another mystery, Houston gave up a 2 and a 6 next year for him, and VOIDED the final 3 years so he’s free agent eligible at the end of the season?

Buffalo has 35 mil dead money this year over it and is currently sitting at 6 mil in cap space so yeah on Davis.

One year rental.

Not sure I understand their rationale but obviously the Texans are gambling that Diggs plays like his hair is on fire and behaves this season. With Collins on the last year of his rookie contract, he’s gonna wanna be paid too so that mighta factored in the decision to void out Diggs’ last three years.

2nd rounder in a WR DEEP draft? I think the kid from Florida State Keon Coleman is gonna go in the 2nd and be the steal of the draft. Also Michigan’s RB Corum is gonna be a bargain too I think a year from now (probably going to the Chargers)

Smart on the part of the Texans, actually. He's a locker room cancer. Minnesota dumped him when he got stupid... did good in Buffalo and then they dumped him when he got stupid.

See how he does, and more importantly how he acts... then go from there with absolutely NO committment or damage to the cap structure.

With that extra 2nd rounder, Bills could use it to move up in the draft but dunno how desperate they are to get a WR to fill up that room. When I look at Green Bay’s young receivers (…none drafted higher than the 2nd day…), I don’t think Buffalo has to overreach for a wideout.

I think good wide receivers will be available through the early portion of the third round. This is a great draft which runs deep for quarterbacks, wide receivers, offensive linemen, and cornerbacks.

Iffin’ any of you are Bill Belichick fans, he’s gonna be on the Pat McAfee Show on Draft Night. Bill will give his team and player analysis, even calls to GMs after they make their pick are on the docket. Iirc, the Pre-Draft show will start at 1:30 pm EST and broadcast on one of the ESPN channels or streamed on YouTube.

^That should be fun.

Saw the reports that Kraft sabotaged Bill getting hired at a couple other spots. That's some appreciation for the man winning you 6 f'n Lombardi trophies... ungrateful doosh.

And before anyone says it was Tom... no the hell it wasn't. It was both of them. Many of those teams won with defense and that was all Bill.

Bill had a great run, it seemed to be over. I am surprised no one wanted him as head coach. The only reason I can think of is he wanted control of personal, including the draft. Tom won a super bowl without Bill. Bill did not win a Superbowl without Tom. Though I fully believe they each benefited from the other being there.

The Brand New Lions make Amon-Ra St. Brown the highest paid REC at $30 mil per year with $77 mil guaranteed 4 year extension. Also make OT Penei Sewell the highest paid OL with a $112 mil extension, $85 mil guaranteed, also 4 year term.

QB Jared Goff up next.

Dee-troit gonna hafta make the Super Bowl soon, otherwise their salary cap is gonna undermine the depth of the team. They’ll be good but not a legit SB contender.

One round down, 6 more to go.

Most surprising pick hadda be Penix going 8th to Atlanta. Over / Under for Kirk Cousins is 3-1/2 years.

Not a surprise - no running backs selected today.

Good situation for Penix. Sit and learn and don't get thrown to the wolves. He has an arm, a great deep ball and touch.

I don't think he should have gone 8th... but I think he might have been lucky to go to a team with an established QB so he has time to learn and adjust. Just my $.02

Chiefs picked a small, speedy receiver from Texas (Worthy)
Would have preferred the South Carolina WR (Legette). He’s a taller, bigger version of Sterling Sharpe.

They are probably thinking Worthy will be the second coming of Tyreek Hill.

Packers picked a T-Rex. Big body, short arms. Thought arms are kinda important defending against raging bull pass rushers. (Shrug).

ATL crapped the bed.


You have Kirk Cousins signed and paid for more than 4 seasons. Draft someone he can throw the ball to, nope...they draft a QB! Not only a QB, but a QB made out of glass!

"Penix’s time at Indiana saw him face four consecutive season-ending injuries, enduring two ACL tears and experiencing joint dislocations in both shoulders."

Wasted 1st Round pick right there. If you're not going to get a guy for Kirk to throw to then get one that's going to block for him! ATL looked really dumb passing on The Hoodie...and THIS....shows.


But Hey....lookie Philly go!!!!![whip]

I don’t think they wasted their pick I think they reached, he’s a good dude and a great player who fought through injuries. They have an awesome back who can catch, a first round pick #1 receiver and a first round pick TE who’s basically a receiver, and they picked up Mooney a solid X/slot receiver in FA.

They probably could have traded down and risked not getting their guy but I think this was a long play.
