    Great article from the Athletic.  Basically says that teams routinely over-estimate their own ability to predict player performance and as a result overestimate the value of their own specific picks.  Instead, they should maximize the number of lottery tickets they’re buying.

     

    Thoughts?

     

     

    This is why I fear trading way up in the 1st round. Have to give up too much for a risky pick.

    This is from nbc sports “Sutton has just $2 million guaranteed on his current deal with Denver after catching ten touchdowns on 59 receptions in 2023. Sutton, headed into his age-29 season, profiles as the team’s No. 1 wideout after the Broncos dealt Jerry Jeudy to the Browns this offseason. Sutton could be seeking a short-term deal with more guaranteed money ahead of the 2024 season. He’ll work with his tenth starting quarterback in his seven pro seasons.”

     

    I am the front runner for drafting multiple wide receivers in this draft class because it’s so good and deep. This is one of the few guys I would trade for though. If we could give up a fourth round pick next year to get Cortland Sutton, I would be on cloud nine. Guy is a star with less than competent QB play. He would absolutely thrive with Josh, hopefully Odunze on the other side after he slides in the draft and we don’t give up much to get him and Kincaid, samuel and Shakir eating up the middle. 

     

     

    No need for Diggs contract part Duex.  He’s too old in NFL years.

    That’s not the only thing you wore out as a teenager …..

    The more I think about this, the more I think that if the Bills don’t trade up and stay at 28 they will be taking Worthy. 

     

     

    I really hope not. Small guys like him just tend to end up injured in the NFL.  Obviously everyone is enamored with the speed but I just don’t see him being more than a gadget guy receiver.

    Where are these holes?  I’ll go position by position:

     

    QB:  Josh.  Duh

    RB:  Cook and Williams.  Pick up a road grader late in the draft

    OL:  all set there, only lost Morse and picked up Collins for depth

    DL:  all set at DT, might look at DE in the draft but have 3 guys there already

    LB:  no holes there

    CB:  have your starters, probably add a guy late

    S:  have your starters in Rapp and Edward’s, backup with Lewis, probably draft another.

     

    So spend some capital to get a WR.

     

     

    D-Line is hardly as set as you would like - Have to look at DE at a minimum.  They also need youth on D-line. Von is a shell of himself and getting NFL old.  Oliver is good, Epenesa a good rotational player but the rest of the group is a patchwork.

    Some of us did not like the 2022 offseason at the time and it has proven to be pretty much an unmitigated disaster:

     

    Free Agent signings:

    Jordan Phillips - $5m

    Tim Settle - $9m

    Daquan Jones - $14m

    Von Miller - $120m

    Roger Saffold - $6.25m

    Ryan Bates - $17m

    OJ Howard - $3.5m

    Jameson Crowder - $2m

     

    Extension:

    Stefon Diggs - $96m

     

    First round pick:

    Kaiir Elam

     

     

    I know he had some decent success with some of his later picks - Cook, Bernard, Benford - but it is by any standards a bit of a disaster of an offseason.

     

     

     

    That picture is very ugly and helps to explain why KC has been able to reload.

    I saw another discussion where they said who tf cares about dead cap this year, because there's no one left to sign. Better to clear the books now and have an extra 25m next year to play with, after we draft one of the stud WR's this year.

     

     

    Interesting thought. I’m not thinking this is 100% true on its face.  The idea can be extended to the idea that Beane is done shopping for FA’s.  He likely does not see any more crumbs in the cookie jar that he wants to pursue this year. He will hopefully have a good young receiver next year on the roster and money to move in FA with this move. 

     

    I really think Diggs best days are behind him.  This was a good move to save a train wreck.

    Wow, Beane is willing to take his medicine this year. The Bills are taking a major step back this year!!

     

    You assume they take a step back - I do not see it that way - Diggs was a non factor in the second half of the season.  The Bills have the opportunity to upgrade and move on.

  9. I like the move. Diggs all but disappeared in the last 8 games and he has not been a factor in the playoffs. The Bills unload his salary cap hit and can empahsize a youth movement.  I get the Idea that Brady just was not a Diggs fan.

     

    IMO the Bills made a very good move here.

    The couple of articles I read say no cause of death has been released pending an autopsy. First thing that came to me was a substance related OD. You would hope it wasn't something intentional, but you never know. There is so much laced with fentanyl these days that people really are playing Russian roulette. Seen too many people go away from here too soon due to it. 

     

     

    You also have to wonder if CTE is in play.  The whole situation seems so sudden and unfortunate. I certainly feel for his family and those who are close to him.

    Sounds like Beane's going with a position of need that has less depth than receiver UNLESS he has the receiver graded higher. That doesn't sound good for pick 28. It sounds rational. But does have me wondering what round he'll take a WR? Unless it's smoke. 

     

     

    It’s lying season in the NFL.  Beane is going to take the highest rated player on the draft board at #28 period. In my opinion most likely either d-line or WR.
