That Aud Smell

⬆️ I always like their chances when 17 is slinging it. As for Diggs and Floyd: Both of them fell off in the latter half of the year. The Bills are gonna miss the production each player provided when they were humming. That production keyed some wins.

Ha - like, why?

Mahomes and Kelce leading the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory was “lucky.” My brother in Christ.

Lol - “dominated the draft.” I don’t begrudge that media landscape. It’s sort of an apotheosis of analytics and fancy stats. Closer to D&D than actual football.

I heartily enjoy any athlete - any person, really - who is unabashedly and outwardly *themselves*. Welcome to Buffalo, Keon. Sorry that we don’t have a Waffle House. Also, the multiple Coleman’s sagging pants comments aren’t, as the kids used to say, passing the vibe check.

I liked all the picks. I take some encouragement from the fact that both the Utah and Duke players are ones who seem to fit what Beane and McDermott want/like/do. Here’s hoping that they all become regular contributors in year 1.

ThaHonky goes in the next pick. 🍻 to what could have been.

Lots of smoke about the Patriots and ... Bills (?!) -- two teams at the top of the 2nd round -- being interested in Deebo. Huh?! This has got to be the 49ers and agents trying to drum up interest on New England's part. Why would the Bills want a 29 year old slot/gadget guy, who's incredible when he's right but is not an "X" and is also injury prone?

man, it's april. i'm just over here trying to catch a vibe. Ugh. I fear this to be true.

Beane is legit OBSESSED with that 3rd Round pick.

Is that actually it? I had the sense that fans were upset about an apparent lack of a deliberate, thorough process -- that GM KA was just like

The Adams family's dog, Tinsel, should be on that list. She's a good listener.

Pithiest post I can recall seeing on this board. Really exquisite - especially pulling those terms (which are both spot on).

This made me unreasonably happy. Right. The gripe that fans could have is that the Bills failed to properly assess Worthy -- they didn't value him enough -- they were wrong to pass on him. Which - fine. We'll see. For my part, I didn't like the risk. Not at this time of year, nope.

Otoh, the Chiefs were probably always getting Worthy even if they stayed at 32. And for my man @inkman: Ladd ThaHonkey incoming. I hope you enjoyed your evening.

This was my hope, as posted upthread: If you can’t get one of the top 3 WR’s, then spread risk and grab 2 of the other intriguing WR prospects. Lol - this is reminiscent of what Beane did with Rousseau and Basham (doubling up). Hopefully, this time, it’s more than a single (base hit) and a lazy fly ball out. Trading with KC took stones. I hope it doesn’t come back to bite the Bills. I’d said I don’t want Worthy for the Bills. But it’s quite puckering to see him drafted by the Chiefs.

It was downright weird how much the refs hated the kid.

What an absolute legend and, as the saying goes, what a beauty. His voice is forever synonymous with the world's most exciting sport. RIP.

Like, there's mild mannered. There's Clark Kent. And then way over on the mild end of the mild/spicy spectrum, there's Power (at least, Power as captured in that IG post).

For reasons I can't quite explain, I found this locker cleanout post on IG to be hilarious.

maybe? idk. it could also be fascinating, if done correctly.

I need a multi-episode, well-produced "BTS" of this guy's life.
