Clutch Ravens

Hey, I gave him McKel... You might just be right.

Trade: Buffalo Bills - Thad Lewis, QB (0.5s) Atlanta Falcons - 6th Round (166) & 7th Round (198) (1s)

With the way Quarterbacks normally slide in this I was hoping Bortles would slide all the way to #31, but hey. Still got a number of highly rated players on my board and at least a few should be there.

Putting contingency trades in place really isn't that difficult or time consuming.

The real life teams never make the same moves I do. I like to think they're stupid for doing so.

Even though Manuel was one of my guys from last year, I'm not exactly sold on him (I took him in the 4th, so I didn't exactly envision a Franchise QB). That was a closer guess than any Receiver or DB.

Having added Barr I'm VERY happy with the talent on my defense, I feel I have top quality play-makers at every level.

Sorry about the hold up guys, but the pick is in. Went with the top player on my board. CB and WR never really came in to it. I have Gilmore and Floyd as my respective #1's, with Roby and Woods as slot options. Not spending a top 10 pick on a #2 at either position. There's no pressure or attention on Barr given the rest of my front seven, which I think should really help him develop.

The the 9th Overall pick of the 2014 Forum Mock Draft, The Buffalo Bills Select: Anthony Barr, DE/OLB, UCLA

Translation:

The 9th overall pick is potentially on the block depending on available players. Can put a contingency trade in place.

You have Usain Bolt with "Teddy Bridgewater, Quarterback, Louisville" written on your card just waiting to get to that podium. Don't lie. Bet you already have the picture picked out and everything.

As long as Bortles makes it to me, I'm good.

That was in a class with mediocre top end talent that people wanted to avoid. Only a handful of First Rounders from last year would've gone in the first this year.

*Crushmore is on the clock. Bridgewater is a Jag.

A move like that would probably require a 2nd round pick, not a 4th.

I'm in a similar position; 11 picks, 5 in the top 100, two 1sts.

I'll give you #9 for #1 straight up to get you to a nice round 20?

Looking to trade Jeff Tuel & Thad Lewis. Lewis looked like a competent backup in Buffalo and comes at a minimum 0.5s. Willing to deal in multiple late picks saving you cap while landing you a solid backup. Same goes for Tuel.

Confirmed

Buffalo Bills Derek Cox 0.5 Stars

Buffalo Bills Tarell Brown 2 Stars

Very much an under-the-radar guy, but I'm definitely happy to have him. He ultimately made McKelvin expendable.

That's why I wasn't overly thrilled about letting him move on, but he's only had that one good season and he'll be 29 before this season starts. Decided to sell high. The fact I have Gilmore as a #1 and Roby for Nickel just leaves me needing a solid #2, which I should be able to pick up.
