You read it wrong...I didn't say he didn't have a 1st round grade on "any" WR, I said he didn't have one on all 4.. Meaning had some of the other WRs (outside of Addison) had been on the board, Kincaid still would have bene the pick. The presumption is that more picks would have been involved to make it balance, but those were the meaty picks mentioned.

Lol, not the case at all, but ok

What an exciting first 2 days of the draft, none more exciting than the first round! Well here is how the first round went down for the Bills, some of this has come out publicly since our pick and some of this is inside info I have confirmed. I don't often share inside info on here, but when I have as you know it's been always been correct, and I have a little here to share now as well. Jordan Addison was their first and primary target in which they tried at least twice to trade up for him. He was their highest graded WR in the draft. I have a source that confirms to me that one of the teams were the Chargers but were rebuffed as they were all in on Quentin Johnston. I don't know who the other team(s) was, but it was presumably after the Chargers because they said we "first tried to get him at the Chargers pick". Supposedly Bills did not have a first round grade on all of the WR's that went before our pick, and Addison was definitely the only one they tried to trade up for. So not clear if Addison was the only first round grade or not, but they definitely didn't have one on all 4 guys. The only remaining player on the board after Addison went with a first round grade on Beanes board was Kincaid. This is not inside info, Beane directly stated that. From what I was told, the Jags had another team call with a similar offer for their pick but ours was slightly better. (Maybe Cincy for Kincaid?) I would guess it was Cincy, not sure if it was for Kincaid or just to make sure they got Myles Murphy if they thought we might go EDGE with the top 4 WRs gone. The reason I would guess Cincy is because they would have to be close enough to be offering the same 4th round pick since it was "similar" compensation, but also be behind us where our pick was a slightly better value. Looking at the teams behind us, Cincy makes sense to me. Beane stated he had a trade down in place if Kincaid was gone. I also was told this was true and it was with the Titans where we sent 27 and got back 41 and their 3rd. Once Giants took a CB, Beane obviously pulled the trigger with the Jags to get Kincaid instead of the trade down. Nothing too ground breaking here, more just confirming what a lot of us suspected already or had already come out. Addison being their top target was pretty known given how many times they met with him. But it was interesting to see that we tried to get Addison though, makes me wonder if he was the only WR they had a first round grade on, or did they have on JSN too but just preferred Addison. What I love about Beane is that when he wasn't able to get Addison, he stayed aggressive in his pursuit for more weapons for Allen and pounced as soon as he had an opportunity to get one by not hesitating to jump the Cowboys to do it. I have no info on Hopkins, so don't ask

It is true, he had a trade back in place with the Titans who wanted Levis. But once Kincaid fell they decided to go get him.

I don’t know enough about him, but LB was our biggest question mark

For real, they always get that guy on d who then pans out and lives up to their potential. It’s uncanny

No the objection I had with you was when you ran into the draft thread and started talking crap to anyone who dared discuss your mock with you. It was your attitude you had with everyone and lots of people called you out on it, not just me

I like this pick for the Lions...Good value here as potential guy to develop to push Goff. hahaha that made me laugh

Lol, I never insulted you...I told you I found your mock unrealistic and you got all pissy and started insulting everyone who didn't agree with your mock...which was almost entirely wrong.

I had no problem putting out a board, even complimented him on both of them. But he did exactly what I said he would do...listed 10 obvious players Bills would likely take so he could say he got it right lol. And he picked Tippmann...was wrong...and still came right here to say he was still right lol. I rolled my eyes because he did exactly what I said he would do...which he claimed he wouldn't do which was run here to say he was right after making a list of 10 obvious choices for the Bills. And ironic you said I was being childish while he is the one who keeps trying to mud sling insults in multiple threads. Meanwhile I gave several compliments on this actual posts, just find it weak when people chase clout by hedging bets with long lists. First round was 5 people, second round was 10...guess the 20 player list is coming for round 3. Real Nostradamus here lol

Boom!!!!! Love it

Hahaha I love his Daboll shirt

Yeah, I like him, gives Seattle a potential potent 1-2 punch now

Yes haha he is begging or trolling depending how you want to look at it ha

Dont love Dolphins got Cam

I have a feeling Cody Mauch is gonna be a beast

If you look at the Lions players as a whole instead of draft slot...I actually think its a pretty good haul so far. Gibbs, Campbell, LaPorta, Branch 2 of the top players at their positions on defense and almost certain week 1 starters. And 2 potential weapons on offense with the 2nd best RB prospect and the TE who is probably the second best receiving weapon as a TE in the draft behind only Kincaid. I mean they have likely added 3 for sure week 1 starters (Gibbs likely doesn't start right away with the RB depth they have). Sure, its valid to see them going a different direction at 12, but like I said if you look at only the players, it looks pretty good IMHO

Agreed, thought he was going late first or early 2nd

Nevermind...Branch...good pick, thought he was gonna go a little earlier than this

Feels like a WR here for the Lions with Jameson suspended

Too late, he picked Tippmann and hes gone now. Good pick by Jets, though and was one of the guys I was hoping would fall to us. Still torn if I want one of the LBs or one the OL guys to drop to 59, be happy either way.

Agree on Gibbs, thought they would maybe do it at 18. But LaPorta was commonly mocked as an early to mid 2nd round pick, so doesn't feel out of whack here for me personally.

They need a TE, and LaPorta is a weapon

Titans getting a guy they thought they might take in the first here is a nice get for them. Malik Willis was no where near ready last year.

Gotta believe its for Levis
