I am not sure if this Nawrocki guy has a legit source or not, but interestingly enough, Mike Mayock just stated on Path to the Draft that he thinks Hurney is trying to trade down.. with all this Cam Newton buzz all of a sudden. He is trying to get someone like the Bills to bite. And Mayock thinks we like a defensive player.. take it fwiw. it's not Dareus or Miller.. so I am guessing Peterson. Hurney must think he can get a DT with a high 2nd rounder... maybe Phil Taylor or Marvin Austin.. it's all speculation, but it's interesting coming from Mayock.

Father died when he was 8.

Nearly lost his mother shortly after

Lived with a surrogate family.

Combine that with the agent thing and you might think he's easily influenced or distracted. Compared to Dan Wilkinson and Darrell Russell. Just needs to structure in his life and some guidance.

According to Dareus he never spoke to an agent, he took a trip to Miami with a friend and an agent paid for the ticket, unknown to him.

Dareus is a freak, just watched Game Changers on NFLN with Dareus, A Smith, Coach Mooch and Sapp.

Mooch and Sapp both came away impressed and I pray we draft Dareus, kid is going to be special.

RIGHT! Kinda like Tressell didn't know a thing.

Just kidding I heard he did a good job. Even if he did snitch on Austin.

Most folks in Buffalo are convinced they are going defense not offense. They had the worse defense against the run and like Fitzpatrick. With the Buffalo owner saying he doesn't like one year wonders I doubt that if they were interesting in tradiing up they would be acting as if they don't want Newton. Sure you could say that by them acting disinterested, they are drivng down the price but that assumes we really want to trade the pick and would have no other suitors. Plus we wouldn't really care who they say they want with the pick as long as the price is right. If we trade down from 1 to 3 we have to be ready to pick our 3rd most favorite guy.

As for Mayock he was wrong on 2/3rd of his picks in the first round last year. Not exactly enough to take to the bank.

Mike Mayock hasn't put out a mock draft for 5 years, so I would love to know where you got your 2/3rd stat?

Thanks. Hadn't seen this.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By amcoolio · Posted

      I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it

      This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
