I hope they start to build a good PP2: Erod, Mittelstadt, Guhle
- jcragcrumple


Maybe Nylander, Baptiste, Cj Smith...
Bailey or Fasching in front

Might not be elite talent,
but these guys have some skill

People change, Just ask San Jose if they like EK.... I would take that chance all day every day..

Name me a WR that has changed his childish ways that was caught on video with a white powder substance on his nose and then getting into bar fights in the same off season and says he won't play without a new contract?

Let’s all be honest here he should get a new Contract and he should be paid the most of all the wide receivers in the league

I agree with you but we need a quarterback first so we need to save those picKs

When dez Bryant gets cut I wouldn’t mind taking him he still a top-five wide receiver imo

I don't really care. If I were a betting man I would say regardless of his off field crap, he still ends up being the highest paid WR in the NFL. and if the bills traded for him I would be jumping for joy......

The main reason I am against trading up is there isn't a clear cut must have can't miss guy.

I agree they better have a plan at QB and I think they have one. But we won't know what that is until the draft.

- Stripes77


That was also true with Wentz & Goff
Both those teams are VERY happy
And managed to build areound them even though they spent all those picks to move up

Just bc there isn’t a Peyton Manning, doesn’t mean these guys aren’t Matt Stafford or Phillip Rivers
I’ll take me a guy of that quality

I also won’t freak out if we end up having to stand pat...
but that’s based on my liking of Rudolph (probably more than most)
Or maybe Luke Faulk in round 2?

Idk...
it’s just so blatantly obvious we need a damn QB here very badly

OBJ is still elite
Where he ranks among the top guys isn’t worth arguing about
He’s clearly in the top group and should/will get paid

Gerbes hero Michael Bennett turning himself into police today for assaulting a 66 year old parapalegic female. What a guy.

The Rams and The Eagles had their rosters in place for the most part though.

This Bills team is far from being complete.

I like Rudolph as well

When that off field crap gets him suspended you might want to care about it.

Why do we have to have our “roster complete” before we get a QB?

If they think our QB is in this draft,
then u get him

It's not for me to worry about. I'm just a fan, The coach, GM & Owner have to worry about that. I root for wins......

Now do I think he is a Moron, sure do....

Does he take Okposo’s spot on PP1?
Maybe not right away

- jdfitz77


I want to see him in RoR's slot. Maybe that pushes RoR down to Okposo's spot, maybe not.

I'd love to see Phil take some PP time away from players. That would send a real message.

According to ProFootballReference.com

the Rams has ONLY 5 guys who started for them before they got Goff who were still starting for them last year
So they definitely weren’t put together like you’re saying

Give me a minute to check the Eagles
I think they’ll be closer to what you’re saying

But he’s still freaking crazy good

Philly had ONLY 6 of the same starters in 2015 as they did last year

Care to rephrase?

Not to start another dumb fight with Sbroads...
but O’Reilly isn’t coming off PP1 until Eichel or Reinhart get MUCH MUCH better at faceoffs

Because trading up to draft a QB hasn't worked out in the history of the league sans those two teams

What is why I think this isn't the draft to do it.

The Rams roster is the 2nd youngest, the Bills the second oldest
