    if the bills keep him as a big body outside wr. He’s going to give a Gabe Davis like production. Which is to say he might have a big game or two. But he may go 3-4 weeks with 0-1 catches …. Be a blocker on the outside 

     

    it is what it is folks

    Stuff I'm not loving here

    -Press coverage can blanket his release and catch a ride.

    -Below-average acceleration getting out of breaks and cuts.

    -Could struggle finding separation to avoid excessive contested catches.


    Stuff that sounds good:

    -Prototypical size and high-end ball skills.

    -Attacks underneath throws with extended, sticky hands.

    -Works aggressively back on short and intermediate throws.

    -Unlikely to see focus drops when watching his tape.

    -Meets jump balls with full extension to the high-point.

    -Uses size to gain advantage over the cornerback on jump-ball wins.

    -Hard to bring down after the catch and as a punt returner.

    Honestly I love this kids skills

    McDermott doesn’t go for players with alleged issues, except for players like Miller who we are stuck with 

     

    Miller had issues (domestic abuse) long before we got him.

    Diggs was a locker room cancer.

    We kept Tyrel Dodson on the roster after we found out about his issues (domestic abuse)

    KANSAS CITY CHIEFS TRADE UP TO NO. 28 TO SELECT WR XAVIER WORTHY

    This was by far the best trade-up on Day 1. By making it an even trade in terms of how many picks changed hands, the trade is almost even.

    It’s still interesting that the Chiefs seem to be extremely confident in their evaluation of a deep wide receiver class where evaluations were all over the place after the blue-chip prospects that went off the board in the top 10.

    That’s why I also don’t hate this from the Bills' perspective. The irrational take is that they gifted a wide receiver to an arch-nemesis that has beaten them in the playoffs in three of the past four years. It’s a deep receiver class, so the Chiefs could have drafted a wide receiver, anyway, if they wanted. And Kansas City's bets at wide receiver haven't necessarily paid off in recent history.

    Given how the Bills offseason went, moving down a bit and adding another Day 2 pick makes a lot of sense and is consistent with prior decisions. They don’t get an A here, because they didn’t manage to take advantage of their trade partner. That’s also a shout-out to Chiefs general manager Brett Veach, of course.

     

    Grade for the Chiefs: B-

    Grade for the Bills: B+

    CAROLINA PANTHERS TRADE UP TO NO. 32 TO SELECT WR XAVIER LEGETTE

    I’m not sure what the Panthers were thinking here. They are probably overestimating the value of the fifth-year option, which is now fully guaranteed. Thus, they lost a lot of value. If Xavier Legette is good enough to justify picking up the option, the option is much more expensive than it was before the new CBA, and he probably also has enough leverage to ask for an extension before that option would even kick in. Yes, the option would create some leverage for the Panthers in extension talks, but that’s a hypothetical scenario that isn't relevant until many years from now.

    The Panthers' move from No. 33 to No. 32 cost them 59 draft slots, and they'll now pay the same player a higher salary. As the following chart from Jason Fitzgerald shows, the rookie wage scale comes with the most significant gap at the end of the first round.

     

    From the Bills’ perspective, this was a free move-up on Day 3. Additionally, they are on the clock for 20 hours now, being able to sort out their options. The Panthers gave up a luxury.

     

    Grade for the Panthers: D

    Grade for the Bills: A

    I see things have gotten........weird in this thread.

    It's like the dog days of training camp when fights start breaking out between teammates. Everyone's tired of hitting their own guys and desperately need a preseason game to get here so we can hit someone else.

    Draft night can't come soon enough!

     

    Before I put any time in to reading this post I've quoted, what was your stance on JA in pre-draft 2018?
