Here's the more technical definition of the acronym:

All this talk about trading up and going big game hunting is fun, but I am not sure how practical or likely it is. We may want to do it, but from 28, it is easier said than done as we all know. If we are really serious about it, it may take a couple of different trades to accomplish it. We may have to do something like we did in 2018 and get into the 12-16 range first and then get into the top 10 from there. But this is a trade, at least the first part, that would have to be done before the draft. I don't think this is the type of move you can do during the draft. You would probably have to talk to the teams in the top 10 and find out how far they are willing to drop. If you can work out something for 28, wonderful, otherwise you have to see where you would have to get to, and have a deal already in place if you can get into the range they tell you to. It might be complicated to do, but obviously possible because it has been done in the past. That said, is it the right thing to do? I will say, I could see this team falling in love with Odunze. He has great size, can run, is physical, and can separate. He reminds me so much of Moulds and he would be the perfect #1 WR for us, especially in the colder weather games. But what is having this one particular player worth? While I am not necessarily opposed to making the move, it is hard parting with so much capital. I always ask myself what would the best player in the NFL at a certain position be worth. QBs are different, because you have to have one, but what about WR? Justin Jefferson is probably the best out there right now. Contract aside, how much would you be willing to give up for JJ? A first? Two firsts? A first and a second? More? Now, add in the fact that he will be getting more than $30 million a year. How does that change things? To me, that lessens the value and makes parting with more assets to get 5 years of cost controlled production worth a bit more. Regardless on where you settle in at, going up for Odunze, or one of the other big 3, is going to cost you a lot more than what it would for the best WR in the league. It will probably cost 28, a 4rh round pick this year, next year's first and probably at least a 2nd and 3rd next year as well. Who knows.....it may cost both seconds next year. It is just a ton to give up. Now, if you were to work out some things with a couple of current players, that might help ease the pain a little, but any way you slice it, you will be giving up more than you would for the current best WR in the league for a rookie that you have no idea how good he's going to be, but is under a cost controlled contract. For those that want to do it, I completely understand it and can definitely make the argument for it. If it happens, obviously all eyes will be on the cost......and then we will immediately forget about it and celebrate the fact that one of the big 3 are on our team with Josh Allen at QB! Worry about next year, next year...... Whether or not this is actually even being discussed or not, we don't know. It is smokescreen season and I really tend not to believe much of anything out there. Do I think we're at least making the calls to see what it would cost? Yes. But that would be the only responsible thing to do. That is literally Beane's job to turn over every stone and look at every option. But how serious are these conversations? We might never know. Obviously, if it happens, we will know that the conversations were serious, but if it doesn't, I would expect if they do acknowledge the talks, that they would downplay the talks no matter how serious they are.

Arghhh I need to pick my son up at the airport probably right around mid first round, so I will be on TBD getting all the real analysis!

In Australia the draft already aired, but the whole country has been sworn to secrecy.

TV: Seinfeld, Bar Rescue Movies: T1, T2, Forrest Gump, Breakfast Club ….

Imagine in 2024 using reliable and mainstream media in the same sentence. How to tell everyone that you're a useful idiot and that you should be mocked and ignored.

DeSantis Slaps Biden: 'Florida Is Not Buying' Your Radical Abortion Agenda “All I can say is this is a guy who has intentionally opened the borders of this country and caused great harm,” the governor stated earlier on Tuesday. “His policies have caused families to suffer with higher prices and higher interest rates.” “And now he’s coming down to try to support a constitutional amendment that will mandate abortion up until the moment of birth, that will eliminate parental consent for minors, and that is written in a way that’s intentionally designed to deceive voters,” he continued. “Floridians are not buying what Joe Biden is selling,” DeSantis added. “And in November, we’re going to play an instrumental role in sending him back to Delaware where he belongs.” https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/04/24/desantis-slaps-biden-florida-is-not-buying-your-radical-abortion-agenda-n3787117 That's how it's done. Attack Biden and his allies for their demand for unrestricted abortion on demand, as well as the border crisis. Republicans have to go on attack and expose Democrats as the real abortion extremists.

This guy compares him to Nico Collins.

Correct Using second contract signed w same team that drafted them to evaluate WRs is not a great methodology

Yea he is a freak.

⬆️ Commie in an anti-communist thread.

The guy definitely has the measurables, good production last year. He’s the body type I want them to go get, I have only watched 1 game of him and some highlights, but he strikes me as a guy that could be really good too.

Except that's not my point. My point is that the so-called mainstream media isn't perfect. Sometimes they repeat what campaigns feed them. Sometimes they fail to do their own investigations and fact-checking before they report an allegation. The reports on the Steele Dossier are an example. But that's different than actually making stuff up out of whole cloth at the urging of a particular candidate. That's how this ridiculous "Ted Cruz's father was close to Oswald" story started. And obviously knowing that the story was made up, Trump harped on it in his campaign. And that was only possible because Trump essentially controlled what the Enquirer did.

I agree … but I do feel like he’s a player we’d absolutely love in a couple years

I don't know what you lot can't be happy with one bloody time!

Lamb is bonafide top5 in the league

Maybe I meant central time. Why you disrespecting Indiana like that?

Ok, but WHY are they not signing a second contract, is it bc they cost too much? Obviously, there are busts, but example, I know AJ Brown is on that list of didn’t re-sign.

Well, Trump makes it easy for them to do their jobs...

I think it's 8 tomorrow......

I dunno, the prosecutors are sure trying to get his ass tossed in jail. We shall see.

7? wow

Your "whole" life changes, Jesse? You mean, not just your life in general but your "whole" life? Like you wouldn't be a man anymore, but transmuted into a woman? If not that, well, then what exactly does "whole" add to the thought? Turnabout is fair play.
