so they are forming the washed up team

Washed up would be Wallace. Maclin is two eyars removed from stud status and Perrimann is a rising star.

perriman hs done nothing

Second ESPN mock(11th pick)
1.Green
2.Murray
3.Allen
4.Kelce
5.Gore
6.Riddick
7.Perkins
8.Meredith
9.Wentz
10.Henry(Derrick)
11.Henry(Hunter)
12.White
13.LAC dst
14.Deandre Washington(messed up here, thought I picked Foreman)
15.Joe Williams
16.Novak

So I take a chance drafting Allen, and I chose him over DT. I really hate being stuck with Murray but in that range I'm picking he's the logical choice. I waited on QB. I was planning to go for Taylor this time and then I read a report he's in a QB competition. Pretty obvious because he's a Ryan project and the bills new OC wants him to do things differently. I drafted White because I am not sure how that receiving in Chicago will stack up.

Hard for him to do anything with just four targets a game. He's only played one season really.

I'll have to disagree strongly with your take on Taylor. He is absolutely not in a competition...not even close. They didn't pay him and toss away Cardale Jones, to start T.J. Yates or a rookie. And Dennison was Taylor's rookie QB coach.

taylor just got paid? and has rookies and journeyman with him. THey also traded away his main competition from the ol regime/>? hes entrenched as the starter???

Do not fear the Tyrod

I know it can appear to be a daunting task to take on the full Tyrod, but if you get at the right angle and relax your throat, I think you can handle it.

Idk, when I was doing the espn mock the little news popup said taylor got lukewarm praise by many but the qb position will subject to strong competition. It may have to do with the fact that the bills are running a WCO now which means Taylor has to run less and throw more.

Don't know what to tell you. You're reading way too much into a July blurb.

T.J. Yates and Nathan Peterman are not going to challenge Tyrod Taylor. I'm not being a homer, Taylor is in the top half of QB's in the NFL.

Last year's starting WR...
Sammy Watkins (hurt), Robert Woods (hurt), Marque Goodwin (hurt), Justin Hunter, Walter Powell (hurt), Brandon Tate (kick returner, hands like a corner).... yet still managed a good QBR, top ten while under pressure, maintained a top ten-ish offense.

Don't get me wrong, if you want Wentz over Taylor, fine... just not because of said backups to Taylor...and they are back ups.

No they are actually last resorts tbh. I prefer one around 6-8. Mariotta, Carr, Cousins in that order and then Taylor, Wentz, Palmer(order not determined for me).

I have no problem with that. Most would agree.

This will be the last mock I am doing for ESPN. Fourth pick
1.Brown
2.Fournette
3.Baldwin
4.Montgomery
5.Woodhead
6.Riddick
7.Prosise
8.Bryant
9.Cousins
10.H.Henry
11.D.Henry
12.Miller
13.LAC dst
14.Nelson
15.Connor
16.Novak

Where I felt I messed up at was sixth round. I didn't need to draft Riddick when I already drafted two other satellite backs when it was all said and done. I could have went TE there with Graham, Walker, and Eiffert all available. I am hesitant on Graham for many reasons. I really like Eiffert but I did not know if I could have took him there. Graham and Eiffert were still there in 7th and I took Prosise. I could have also taken Moncrief in sixth. In 8th, did I need to take Bryant when I already had Brown? I feel like I have a weak TE group. Henry is getting more snaps, but I am concerned about his redzone usage this time. Miller may not be the starting TE but if he is he should be a redzone target if Glennon doesn't ignore the position like he did in TB.

woodhead, riddick, prosise, back to back to back, is this ppr? if not why did you draft all of them, and why that early

miller who? braxton?

oh zach miller, why waste a roster spot........why should he be a redzone option?
