Since he is the DC I think it would be a safe assumption that he was involved in the discussions and decision.

What we do with the 1st pick is entirely dependent on what Ballard does leading up to the draft. What I see as a possible scenario is we sign a veteran FS in FA hopefully McKinney. If Calvin Ridley makes it to FA we will sign him. He is the only WR that I see fitting our need that has a chance to make it to FA. If he doesn't then I think the plan would be to trade for one. Most likely Jeudy or McLaurin using our 2nd or 3rd rd picks. I don't think Brown will be available. Those moves would give us a major upgrade on both sides of the ball before the draft. Assuming we can acquire a receiver with our 2nd or 3rd rd pick then he will sit at 15 and take Bowers if he is there or BPA. Getting Bowers and a veteran WR would give AR two more weapons next year. A new veteran FS solidifies the back end of the defense. That would be an ideal off season for me.

This is why I think the Giants FS Xavier McKinney will be the target in FA.

In the hour long local post game show the reporters, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse were visibly angry at the outcome and had no problem pointing some fingers at McDermott. They have always been in his corner in the past.

i don't know. That fake punt looked like a call from a desperate coach who desperately needed a win at home. The score could have been much more lopsided too.

They fire McDermott the Bills job would become the most desirable. I think they would jump to the top.

You hit the nail on the head. They need an offensive minded coach.

Don’t be surprised if McDermott is fired. He wouldn’t be the first fired for losing a playoff game. This was supposed to be their year.

Chase had his opportunity with the Colts. Multiple times I believe. I like Gay. His injury affected him down the stretch. It felt good not worrying about his kicking though. I always found myself holding my breath with the previous kickers.

I have to admit I just tuned in to check the score. This is the undercard game. Waiting for the main event later.

Goes to show you what he knows.

He was reportedly going to trade back up to get him but the Packers moved faster. Slow on the draw I guess.

Another WR who could be an acquisition target is Jerry Jeudy. He has been linked to the Colts in the past. He was the 15th pick when drafted and will play this year on the 5th year option which is just around 13M. He is only 24. The Broncos are expected to move on from either Sutton, who is 30, or Jeudy. Being close to 25m over the cap is going to require them to make some space. Both players were reportedly available at the trade deadline but Denver held firm. They were supposedly looking for a 1st for Jeudy. Sutton something less. Sutton wound up being Wilson’s go to and favorite target. I would think Ballard would revisit a potential trade for Jeudy again if in fact he was in discussions with Denver earlier.

Both teams with the buy got off to very slow starts yesterday. Sometimes it takes awhile to back into it. Need to hope the visiting team doesn't get off to a fast start.

Goes to show you how important the kicking game is.

I remember when Love was linked to the Colts back when he was drafted. Ballard went to his college games if I recall correctly. Many people thought we would trade back into the 1st to take him but the Packers pulled the trigger first and surprised everyone. Oh well.

I see a lot of Jackson in AR. We have a lot to look forward to.

Probably young and inexperienced I would think.

Ravens need to get their act together.

Omg. I don’t want to see the Texans playing anywhere next week.

People complain about our soft zone. The vast majority of the league does it.

This game shouldn’t be close. Look at all of the Texans penalties and they are still tied. They are not unleashing Jackson. Hard to watch for me.

Both his big runs were broken plays resulting in him scrambling. Right now a rookie head coaches staff is out coaching Harbaugh’s staff.

Ravens offensive game plan sucks right now. Don’t like the play calling. Not using LaMar enough.

If Ridley makes it to FA he could be the first player we sign.
