Two of those guys are currently on this roster

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+
QuoteCAROLINA 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 think the board was calling for Rosen over Allen. Gotta include the hits and misses to be fair.The meltdowns here about Rosen sound a whole lot like the meltdowns around here now. EMOTIONS ARE HIGH

Nathan Peterman
Shocking because we already drafted him in the 5th round 7 years ago, we know he's terrible, and he's currently on another roster. It would blow minds though.

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?

Pegula is such a **** owner, his teams will never have success. The Bills maintain their laughing stock status.
Allen over Rosen, this mistake will be remembered for decades. FO is full of a bunch of arrogant pricks.
Absolute gems in that thread

Let's get this Metcalf train fired up, the hotter the better. When it doesn't happen I expect high emotions

What if the Bills are better without him, much like they were during the winning streak?

Kinda bummed out by this news. End of an "era" in a way.
Excited to see what's next.
I just hope Diggs doesn;t burn the bridge with fans on his way out the door.

We've got red tops too, there's going to be a lot of red

What a time for Von to play around his usual standard. I know realistically he's not going to be himself until an offseason of training, but still, if he could have it in him to put it all out there for a game, this would be it.

Cam Lewis has played very well. Not a huge loss there. The loss is the depth. If Lewis gets hurt we’re thin.
I don't see it. I see a guy that gets picked on whenever he's in the game.
I loved the positivity in training camp, but man, I don't want cam anywhere near the field against Mahomes
-
Rapp out means that our 3 safety looks now include Cam Lewis or Hamlin
Both those dude would get eaten alive over a whole game IMO

They get that anyway. Seriously, I know it's cool and hip to believe weird conspiracies and that there's always something shady about everything but it's not that deep.
I swear this these days people have turned the movie Idiocracy from a comedy into a documentary.
Thanks guy, appreciate the kind words

Yes, and to do it they would sacrifice having the leagues most dynamic player and one of the most polarizing players in the league to put a Chief team back in that an extremely high % of fans are bored watching and sick of seeing in the Super Bowl. They don't care about the actual 3 hours of game...they care more about being able to have a total of 20 seconds of cut aways to Taylor Swift.
idk man. if we were talking about some borderline franchise without start power I might agree. But the Chiefs will draw by themselves; even if like you say people are bored of them. They will watch to see him lose. Meanwhile, the NFL gets this MASSIVE audience of non-traditional football fans watching their ads.
I'm even more convinced after typing that out. Might put my least favorite ball on the line too

Gonna be cold and refs don't have heated benches. Flags will be slowed. Human nature. And enough with the Swift conspiracies, people. Jesus she lives in this fan bases head rent free.
I'd put my favorite ball on the line that the NFL would kill for the Swifties to be in the superbowl

And by 2026, the new stadium will be completed. And they’ll tell us that it’s still called Highmark Stadium. But we’ll all know its true name: the Pit
