All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I'm basing this on our active pursuit of a tight end and report that Whaley was enamored by him at the combine. As long as we sign a WR and don't sign a TE, I'd bet money on Howard
He also fits the select few schools that Whaley prefers
Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions
I'm no GM, but wouldn't this be another Watkins type of pick? Our starting QB can't find open receivers now, putting more of them on the field won't fix that.

Can we please stop saying this? By this logic we should forfeit the next 3 seasons. It's just dumb logic, and we have a fully new coaching staff. Rex Ryan flat out said he wants a run based offense with low turnovers. You know where most turnovers happen? In the hashmarks. Tyrod was never a safe QB, as a QB when being told to not commit turnovers your not going to throw WRs open, your not going to throw into coverage, and your going to run more.

I hope not. I know Clay hasnt lived up to his contract, but I'd like to see how he does in this new system (I think he was the OC when Owen Daniels was still a top TE?)
He's a luxury pick, and we've got more important positions to try and upgrade.

No, we can't stop saying it. It's not dumb logic when it's true. We'd be better off putting our resources towards defense and offensive line with a QB like Tyrod. Paying big money for a top WR or TE in free agency is a waste of money, and drafting a WR or TE at #10 is a wasteful use of the pick. Using a lot of resources on a guy who'll catch at best 50 passes is stupid. We have a TE who can catch 50 passes, and any WR in the NFL can do that, too.
Tyrod was never a safe QB, as a QB when being told to not commit turnovers you're not going to throw WRs open, you're not going to throw into coverage, and you're going to run more.
...and you're going to be boring, and you're going to win 7 games.
I wouldn't rule Howard out at #10. As per usual, Buffalo is working in free agency to fill obvious holes so they are in a better position in the draft to draft BPA. Howard might not be on some observers' draft board as BPA at #10, but he could easily end up there for Whaley.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I think he is better than most TEs coming out of college, due mostly to Nick Saban's atmosphere of discipline on the field (not necessarily off the field). The big thing is he combines speed with catch radius. At 6'6" he runs as fast as most WRs not named John Ross. Compared with Clay, he's faster with a lot more length.

We'll see. He has talent but we need OLB's far more.
Why get all these receiving weapons with TT still here, with an obvious plan to run the ball heavy again ?
Apparently McDermott is talking about needing only two lbs most of the time because teams play nickel 60% of the time.
My guess is WR or CB is most likely at #10, but Howard is probably a dark horse possibility.
My view is this is deep draft for TE. I wouldn't allocate #10 to the position.

Do we know that Taylor was ever told this, I remember the opposite being said by both Roman and Lynn.
