I can do it.

There are 4 WRs I still am comfortable with. McConkey, Franklin, Coleman, and Mitchell. Therefore I could tolerate another trade back to 36 and still guarantee to get one of the guys I am happy with.

Looks like Joe's best available is DeJean all by himself Newton all by himself after DeJean AD Mitchell Ladd McConkey in a tier together. I could see another small trade down here and still getting a wr they want if not these guys Franklin certainly met a ton with the Bills.

Here is some catharsis for those of you fearing Worthy: (I liked Worthy but came across these during draft season) Here is another: I really like Worthy as a prospect but for now I will choose to focus on these highlights lol

To the bolded: I think they only traded down because there were so many guys in the next tier which is why they only slid down a few picks at a time. If they had 5 guys they liked at 28 trading to 32 guarantees they get someone they like still. If none of them were Legette, it isn't a problem to move down another spot and so on. Mitchell, McConkey, Dejean, Newton, Coleman, and Franklin could all still be realistic targets and allow them to move down a few more spots if those are indeed their guys just as an example.

We ran 2 community mocks with TSW drafting for the Bills. At both times we came to 28 AD Mitchell was the runaway winner WITH worthy on the board. Nobody on TSW wanted him with Mitchell still available. Legette finished in 2nd place in both of them however when we removed AD Mitchell in v2.0 the board overwhelmingly voted for trading all the way down to 40! I really liked Worthy as a prospect but it is clear the Bills didn't. Add me into the group that says if they weren't taking Worthy, it is better to trade down and get some value rather than hold tight and the Chiefs still get Worthy. Spare me the "they gift wrapped Worthy to the Chiefs" stuff too. There were 27 other teams that also "gift wrapped" if you want to talk about him being available for the Chiefs.

Damn I really like Worthy. Hope I was wrong lol

Aww man @NoSaint beat me to the joke! Lol

Keon colemans comp is kelvin benjamin so beane will draft him again lol

Super Bowl would be more stressful than fun lol. I'm with you. I would even settle for seeing boards like 10 years later. I wish teams would release them like the jfk stuff after a regime is no longer there, release the info!

This is surprising! Odunze and Williams seem to have this whole bromance going. On the other hand with only 4 picks it makes a lot of sense. Man I love the draft lol.

I don't think its an either or proposition. It really comes down to the talent evaluation and player development. I am 100% in agreement that the Bills reason for failing is not enough difference makers so I am not against trading up and going all in, however I also don't hate the idea of trading back and throwing a bunch of darts at the board. I would love to get one of the top 3 but if we could get 2 of the next 7 or so guys I would also be very happy. Is it better to have 1 of Odunze, MHJ (unrealistic), Nabers, or have 2 of Worthy, Mitchell, Legette, McConkey, Coleman, Franklin, and Pearsall? I honestly don't know. I purposely left off BTJ as I think he is in his own category. Won't have to sell the farm to get him but also he has a chance to be a difference maker by himself. I also can't shake Nabers on a live stream saying BTJ is going to the Bills. I am starting to think he will be the guy in a small trade up.

I like Worthy and do understand the concerns. However sharing the field with another 1st round and traditional x in AD Mitchell, Worthy was the leading receiver. Also Ewers is not a great deep ball thrower. At this point there are so many wrs I see the good and the bad with. I just hope they draft a wr and don't get cute lol.

With the last and final pick of round 1 at 32 the KC Chiefs select Nate Wiggins CB Clemson. He will slip right in and replace L'Jarius Sneed. Although Newton is rated higher, I think him playing the same position as Chris Jones leads me to my pick. As the best man-coverage cornerback in this draft class, Wiggins is a perfect fit for Kansas City. It’s true: he doesn’t have the size that most Chiefs cornerbacks have — but neither did Trent McDuffie. While McDuffie has more weight and density, Wiggins is longer — and should profile better as an outside cornerback. And like McDuffie, Wiggins’s film shows an unexpected level of physicality and strength. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2024/3/21/24104248/chiefs-draft-clemson-nate-wiggins-man-coverage#:~:text=As the best man-coverage,better as an outside cornerback.

I was trying to find dads that werre succesful and then the son was better than them. There are tons of families that played just not a lot of elite father son duos.

Archie and peyton manning? Clay and clay mathews? Only 2 I can think of.

I remember how much you hated the idea of Allen being the pick. So much you threatened to quit being a fan of the team if he was the selection. Yet here you are. With that profile pic to boot.

I dont understand is it some sort of gotcha? Johnston had a lot of detractors last year. Also every single talent evaluator misses on people.

Why do you keep bringing up johnston? Hes 6'4 and ran in the 4.5s. He and worthy are completely opposite style receivers.

I love worthy but i think if the bills trade up its for btj.

I agree data and analytics are light years ahead which is why I will trust the process lol. If Beane believes a trade way up is the best option I will believe they weighed all their options and determined this was the best course of action. An hour ago you argued with me the Rams won the super bowl so it was a good move lol.

I disagree strongly that he is a 1 trick pony. He is indeed fast but he was the leading wr for texas with ad mitchell on the team. He can play the position. Being fast is the cherry on top.

Sure but the Rams traded for established studs in Ramsey, Stafford, and then Cooks. In fact when they traded capital to use in the draft they got goff so again I think they run antithesis to this conversation.

What? Lol The Rams are the exact opposite of what we are discussing. They traded picks for established players. If the discussion was trading their picks for jefferson then you could use the Rams as an example.

I understand the cost savings but to get one of the top 3 guys where the floor is high enough with the ceiling also being high, I have a hard time finding the cost to just not be prohibitive. Getting to the top 10 will likely cost 2 1s and 2 2s. In your example you get starter level players but not difference makers to pair with your wr. A 4 million corner and 2 million dt are bargain players and possible liabilities. BTJ has enough question marks that I don't know that he will become one of those $30 million guys so giving a ton up for him makes me really nervous. I'm not against it, it just makes me uncomfortable. Having the Vikings 2nd next year helps a ton. They can perhaps do something like 28, 60, and both 2nds next year. That would be great for the Bills I just wonder if any team will delay gratification for a year and slide all the way down. I think the Bears are locked on odunze as williams and he appear to have a bromance brewing. So nabers is really the only option between 5 and 8. I really feel minnesota is going to 5 and Schoen is fighting for his job so I don't think those are options. Now we are down to 7 or 8. Are tenn or atl with new head coaches going to want to punt on adding premier talent and slide all the way down to 28? Not unless they get blown away by an offer imo.
