Taro T Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 They could still trade the pick/player after the announcement. Maybe the league has put a halt to it as a way to increase the drama/attract viewers. The advantage was they could begin contract negotiations earlier. Yep. It was a way for the teams at the top of the draft to avoid the $50MM Sam Bradford contracts.

Andrew Amerk Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) I didn't mention ANYONE's race. Some of you are making a RACIST assumption. Content of Character, not colour of skin quoth a wise man, a CHRISTIAN man. God says no tattoos. That's what's wrong. You know, the frog doesn't realize that the water is getting hotter and hotter until he's cooked. I HAVE NO SHAME IN TRADITIONAL AMERICAN CULTURE INCLUDING ITS CHRISTIAN ROOTS. Call me a troll if you want, but you've all ignored the fact that football is so very dependent on the QB that it's no longer a team sport. Maybe y'all can't remember when RBs could win a game too (save for Barry Sanders in Detroit). I am a Christian. Tell me where the word of God specifically says “no tattoos.” The Bible says in Revelations 19:16 that Jesus has a tattoo on His thigh - “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” Edited April 19, 2018 by Andrew Amerk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just awake early. Also, I consider that entire book to be ridiculous and obsolete. Didn’t someone already show up here to advise against feeding trolls? Dude’s name IRL might be Trolly McTrollFace. Indeed. There are so many people like this. The stigma was ruined for me really early in life. My bus driver in elementary school, Mr. Bill, had sweet tats. A big grim reaper on one forearm and a spiderweb on his elbow. He was the nicest damn guy in the world and he loved the kids and we all loved him. The fact that Mr. Bill drove your school bus explains so many things.

Gramps Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Now I know why you guys wanted the draft a few weeks earlier. At least we could say we got our franchise QB ... https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/945306/end-of-the-world-april-2018-rapture-prediction-will-world-end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the QB thing, if the Bills manage to stay at 12 and still Rosen that will be a coup beyond words. Heck, even if they move up to 8 or 10 or something to get ahead of Miami for it. If they can pick Rosen and STILL have the second first rounder that will be a great job by Beane and Company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 This is the time of year when the mockers get into the business of over-thinking things or getting into fantastical thoughts. If history is a guide and the current trajectory of the league any indication, there will be 6 QBs gone faster than you can say Jack Robinson. The Bills are gonna hafta move up, way up, to get the guy they want. My sense is that the only reason they wouldn't make the move is if they don't have a "willing" partner. And by "willing" partner I exclude a team that wants an absolute king's ransom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably fortunate that there hasn't been a major off the field media circus for them to focus on like in recent years (Brady appeal, Rice-like domestic abuse cases, etc...). Because of that though, they've had pretty much nothing but the draft to cover. I really wish they'd move it back to the earlier date where they used to hold it, but that move was all about gaining more media coverage and will never change.

Religion got brought up after a quote from Rosen saying he was mostly atheist and then it took a turn towards that for awhile, oh and something about God and tatoos. If the rumors are true, Rosen might be the one sliding down the depth chart and hopefully we dont have to move up to the 2nd spot to draft him. I think you are right, we will need to get ahead of Miami for sure, shouldnt be too hard with all of our draft capital. Ideally, we want the the following to happen, Darnold-Barkley-Mayfield-Chubb-Allen, after Denver, no team will likely grab a QB until possibily Miami. I think we target the Colts, shouldn't cost us the second 1st round pick to go from 12 to 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points -- and amen to what you're proposing. Perhaps they will. I heard that the NFL is looking to have the draft covered like a presidential debate event -- by all networks?! So weird.

Lanny Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hasn't it always been on the last couple weeks of April? I recall it moving to May for a year due to scheduling.

WildCard Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 TSW is getting crazier the closer we are to the draft. NFL network is reporting 3 way trade rumors with the Giants/Colts/Bills, and the Cards/Bills trying to move up to #6. This is getting absurd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool that they're doing it in different cities every year now. I guess that is the case. It looks like I remembered the move from that one year and then never even noticed when they moved it back to the original time frame. Either way, with all the extra coverage thrown towards it today, it feels like we've been talking about this draft since Reagan was in office.

Turns out I shouldn't have been sarcastic: "That could open up the possibility of other NFL TV partners NBC and CBS joining the mix at some point — in what some executives tell Sporting News could resemble coverage of presidential election returns." https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/04/17/report-nfl-could-add-even-more-tv-networks-draft-coverage/525967002/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool that they're doing it in different cities every year now. I do sort of miss the days of it always being in NYC because the Jets always drafted (still draft?) TERRIBLE. Nothing like seeing the light of joy drain from every dude wearing green's face when the pick came out. I have no good reason for this, but I think I hate the Jets more than I hate anyone else in the AFC East, which would mean I hate them the most in the league. I love watching them fail.
