I read somewhere yesterday that the medical issue with Thomas Jr is believed to eventually require surgery, and the hope is that he could make it through the 2024 season before getting it next offseason. Sounds an awful lot like when Shaq Lawson was flagged for a shoulder issue pre-draft. We of course drafted him anyway, then he misses his entire rookie season recovering from shoulder surgery that we knew he'd need.

Tweeners who don't fit a singular position do usually bust, but there have been some successes. Brian Urlacher played Safety-LB hybrid & returned kicks at New Mexico, he was a stud at MLB from day 1 in the NFL.

I prefer to look at by which 2 WRs we'd end up with if we took McConkey or Leggette at #28. Which pair would you rather have: A) McConkey & Brendan Rice B) Leggette & Tez Walker It's A all day for me.

Robert Gallery. Considered a generational OT prospect, rated a perfect 9.0 pre-draft. Was horrendous at LT & really bad as a RT. Still terrible 2 years later, was labeled as a monumental bust. Moved to OG & was solid, played another 6 years. I remember all the pre-draft concern about his 32.25" arm length, well under the 34" usually wanted in a LT. They were right...

I don't see Worthy as having a high floor at all. His floor is John Ross, which is a complete and utter bust & useless as an NFL player. He's a very risky player. I think McConkey's floor is a decent NFL player, that's the definition of a high floor.

Man, I do not want us to draft Worthy. I just don't see him working out in the NFL. I've also been against Keon Coleman, but I'd much rather have him than Worthy.

We'll draft 2 safeties in rounds 4-7. Most of us will say "who?" when the picks are announced. They'll be scheme fits that McBeane identified from non Power-5 conferences- in the mold of the Benford pick. One of the new Safeties will really shine in camp, we'll all be pleasantly surprised & praise their ability to evaluate DBs.

If even Bills fans don't know the true extent of Milano's injury, I'm pretty sure other teams aren't going to risk trading for him.

If we have one bad loss in the red helmets, nobody on this board will ever clamor for them again.

Burks is 6'2" 225lbs. I'd be ok with adding him, but no way for Elam. I liked him in the draft, but he hasn't really done anything in the NFL. If we could get him for a 4th or something, heck yeah.

I think now that we need a WR who can legit compete from Day 1, our draft strategy may change a bit. I see AD Mitchell, Franklin, Legette, & even Brian Thomas Jr as somewhat raw (to varying degrees) & in need of development- the type of guys who won't really come alive the last 6-8 games of their rookie year. I think McConkey is pro-ready now & could put up a Puka-like rookie season in our offense.

I fully agree with this. I'd love McConkey, Defense, Brenden Rice. I think McConkey is the WR most likely to provide big contributions from Day 1.

If Dobbins has even 1 successful season post achilles tear, he'll be the first RB in NFL history to do so. Add in the knee issues, and I see very small odds that he is ever somebody we need to worry about for the Chiefs. Here's what happened post-achilles to the recent RBs who've come back. This is a couple years old, you can add Marlon Mack & Cam Akers to the list who have also flamed out.

I feel like it'll be the opposite, I don't see Worthy going in the 1st round. NFL teams don't get crazy over 40 times like the "draft gurus" do. I do think Dallas would be the most likely team to do it though.

I would be at 1 Bills Drive with a pitchfork before Goodell finished with the announcement. Worthy is not a first round talent, he's the next Mecole Hardman. If we gave up two 1st rounders & a 2nd when we could've just drafted a much better player at #28, I imagine most Bills fans would join me.

This is our most important draft in years, as we likely need 2-3 starters from it. I'd be furious if we draft the next Mecole Hardman in the 1st round.

If we use even 8-9 of our draft picks, I bet 2 of the day 3 picks are OL.

Unfortunately, the Houston Gamblers called One Bills Drive & asked to speak to Blackmon, the idiot secretary put the call through. He left in a limo shortly after.

Diggs Kincaid Brian Thomas Jr. Samuel Shakir Knox Cook Hollins

Is a Linval Joseph return an option? Or is he gonna sign with a team mid-season again?

We've been very lucky the past couple seasons with WR health, that won't continue forever. Adding Samuel & a rookie keeps us from having this year's Sherfield equivalent play a pivotal role in meaningful games.

I have that same feeling. If there's a WR run, I'd rather they take BPA at another position with #28 than Worthy for example.

There's no way the Chargers could've kept Bosa, Mack, & Allen. Bosa & Mack restructured & the writing was on the wall for Allen. I'd have kept Allen & traded Bosa, but a 4th is a good return to get that cap-hit off your books.

Brenden Rice

I would absolutely not trade up for Odunze. It would cost next year's 1st & more picks, and I don't think he's gonna be any better than the guys we could get at #28. Odunze gives me Quentin Johnson vibes, big fast target who was dominant in college because he was left wide open all the time but doesn't have great separation skills.
