Yeah and then you plug Kulich/Asplund/Bjustead or whoever in at 4C.

But they need to lock those other 2/b and 2/c centers in at a reasonable rate to make that work. Making a decision on one of Krebs/Cozens/Mittelstadt this year is huge

- Hank Balling

The next 5yrs the Sabres should have so many ELC's and 1st contracts that they should really have no problem with there Cap. Unless Mitts explodes coming out of Camp and has a decent year. IMO he's the odd man out.

Ullmark was handled badly at the end

I don't think it's coincidence that some of these decisions have come after Ventura joined the fray. Was the smartest thing Adams did.

Yeah, that is pretty odd. I usually don’t have any stacks on my roster

Drafts this year are weird. Like the elite RBs besides Taylor. All have some sort of injury issues in the past

I would be scared to draft Mccaffery again. That was awful.

QB WR stacks Not many elite QBs have elite WRs anymore.

Like Allen and diggs

Herbert - no elite WR
Mahomes - no elite WR
Burrow - chase. - yes
Cousins - Jefferson - no cousins isn’t elite
Brady - evans No. I don’t love evans

Who are you stacking?

Keenan Allen is a top 5 route runner in the game. Mike Williams ain’t a slouch either

Surround yourself with people that can fill voids in your weaknesses. I have a few employees that work for me that I constantly tell the company owners that person does that portion of the job better than I did when I was in that position.

Yeah, it's a lot simpler. Love the bold red outline instead of that rust and gray one on the old one.

These uniforms are going to be majestic. There is no way they can screw this up…

Mike schoop? He’s usually pretty decent at it.
- Sabretooth9



For years he was nasty to any caller who suggested fantasy football was a big reason there was a boom in NFL viewership because he didn’t play it. Said fantasy football players were insignificant

Now he does and pretends he loved it the whole time.

Mike Williams, no he’s a pretty good WR2.

Keenan Allen definitely is though. Last 5 seasons he averages ~102 catches, 1100 yards and 6 TD’s….

Got cut from Denver due to his cap hit, but he is a good punter.

Averaged like 46yrds a punt 6 straight years, might be coming to the easiest job in the NFL as long as Bass likes him.

Good punter, I am sure the elevation in Denver helped his numbers a bit but like you said should be the easiest job this year as long as him and Bass are good together

allen diggs/davis/knox (if I do not get diggs I want both the other 2
jackson/andrews
dak/lamb
brady/evans or godwin
carr/adams
burrows/chase
staff/kupp
herbert/either williams or allen
cousins/jefferson

I would be happy with any of those

I am drafting 2 in my $500 league, may be hard to stack that unless I go jackson/andrews or bucs combo or charger combo as I doubt llamb will be there on the comeback and I am taking whichever rb falls to me at 2 but I could see a path with allen, davis and knox for that league if allen is there at 23
