GML Draft Random Thoughts/Player Welcomings

[Witlon]

Oh yeah, I have Cincy's list. I'm holding the pick though until 3:40, because I don't know if he wanted it posted right away or not.

This is something you need to list with your bulletins, kids. Please.

Or nevermind. He's on now. Shouldn't matter.

Is Pittsburg active?

[Witlon]

Yeah, he was on this morning. Guessing he'll be back in the next 90 minutes or so.

Sorry, we will agree to disagree once again...I agree that Flowers worst trait is pass protection...BUT, it is still above that of almost every other tackle in the draft. Peat is the best pass protector in the draft and Flowers follows him, imho...He is however much better in the running game than others in the draft. He is versatile as well having played both right and left tackle at Miami. Versatility is absolutely a nice thing to have, but watching Scherff play so inconsistently gives me pause to taking him very high, given other talent I have rated higher than him at other positions.

I will say that if Flowers was available at 14 I would have taken him as well. The Falcons already have their LT of the future so Flowers would be a plug and play guy at RT for them and he'd be great opposite Matthews. Why I like Scheff a little more is the possibility that he could swing inside as well if the roster dictates that.

As for Green-Beckham...I think he is the most talented wide receiver in this draft, including White and Cooper (and I love both of these guys). His control of his body at his size along with his speed is extraordinary. That type of player doesn't come along very often.All that said, I wouldn't touch him in the first round, same with Gregory...I have witnessed first hand the ramifications of having a top talent on a team and not being able to use him because of poor decisions off field...Josh Gordon could be the most talented WR in the NFL, but no one will ever know because he makes bad decisions...Even if he stays out of legal trouble and/or team rules, I worry about his ethic in regards to the time he will need to spend to become a professional.

Taking him over Strong was not easy and the only reason it wasn't easy was b/c of the off the field stuff. DGB is way more talented than him at this point. But since it was my 3rd #1 pick I could take a little risk in bringing him in and hoping he stays out of trouble.

And finally, in my four post monologue, I'd like to sum up how the Bills feel that Landon Collins got freakin auto-drafted by the Jags:

You're free to do some post-draft trading as well...

Wow, I'm surprised Maxx Williams went so high... I guess that's what happens with such a shortage of TEs in the class.

Wow, I'm surprised Maxx Williams went so high... I guess that's what happens with such a shortage of TEs in the class.

I was surprised too--for his age, what he's done in college has been monstrous, and he's one of my favorite players, but the data has borne out that very few players with his (very poor) athletic measurables achieve success in the NFL. I'd have a tough time talking myself out of him in the second but I couldn't pull the trigger in the first.

Off until about 11, got people coming over for Mania.

Don't burn the place down, boys.

[Hammer]

everybody just start picking randomly, fuck the draft order!

[prettyflacco]

I'll take your pick

Thanks man, I can't wait to see who Buffalo picks and then get on the clock, I still have first round grades on a couple players

[prettyflacco]

Don't want to come off like a diva, but can someone PM me when the Bills pick? I keep checking back and am having hard time getting other stuff done since I'm so distracted *thirstyemoji*

[Hammer]

no problem diva. anything to give me a shot at getting on the clock again tonight, i shall comply.

[305]

Thanks man, I can't wait to see who Buffalo picks and then get on the clock, I still have first round grades on a couple players

I would hope so

[jalexjsmithj]

You're free to do some post-draft trading as well...

Assuming he gets online

[Hammer]

you dont have to wait til you go on the clock on the schedule. youre up buffalo, any time you have your pick you can make it. unless youre exploring trades to pick up extra picks, which would make sense i suppose.
