Agreed. They can try and fleece him, but the draft class allows him to say effya. I’m pro trade up for top 3, but have zero expectations. I’m pro trade up for Thomas if he hits 22-23. I’m pro take BPA @28. I’m pro trade back as long as don’t go too far back. We have lots of good options imo.

💯

That would be one helluva draft

Yeah, you were one of the first around here! i was not initially, but after the Diggs trade, he’s one of a handful of guys I’d be happy with at 28. Legette Mitchell Mcconkey Worthy (don’t love him, but the elite speed could be worth rolling the dice on if he’s available). Polk- that’s my dude and he’s the best run blocker in the class. Franklin in a trade back. Pearsall in a bigger trade back Coleman in a…..ugh. Idk about Coleman, but he’s intriguing

The raiders are entertaining trade offers and hoping to trade down

Miami, raiders

It’s a pipe dream imo…..but that would be incredible. I don’t see us being that fortunate

but getting Van Pran that late would be. I’ve- 😂

like I said.

@LEBills @GASabresIUFan my point solely has to do with drafting players that they have additional insight on from trusted coaches. McD did it with Zay Jones too. It’s has nothing to do with being from particular schools. Rather knowing (or employing coaches) that have experience with the player. There’s obviously more to it than that- but when the situation arises it could come into play.

I think you’re missing the point here. It’s not that Beane/McD care about the school they play for. They care about the insight they are getting from their college coaches. College coaches that can vouch for players fitting the criteria he and the scouts set for the pick. They don’t have to go off a couple interviews and what they hope to be true. They can go off what these coaches already know to be true.

I don’t care enough to look into it 😉 I don’t see him being an option this offseason, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anything is possible, but his cap hit is 24M this year. If they trade him, it’s 36M

Yup

Different strokes for different folks. I usually just listen to it as I do other things

Do you really believe this to be true? I don’t.

Yeah there’s lots of garbage everywhere, no doubt. That’s why you pick what you like. Can’t stand Smith on tv but his WR breakdowns offer some insight. He knows more about the position than most. He understands pacing and the nuances of running routes that most YTers don’t understand. You’re right, I don’t think he watches a ton of tape- probably just highlights. Simms, meh. He says it how he sees it, which is a usually much different than most. I think he watches some tape. I really enjoy the Bootleg guys. They grind tons of tape. Good and bad. Brugler is my favorite- there’s a lot more Brugler content on YT this year.

I used to watch espn too….when it wasn’t terrible. Now I skim YouTube and watch what I choose to watch as opposed to what one channel is force feeding me. There are plenty of YT channels worth watching with regards to the draft/prospect information. This time of year I usually dive deeper into the later round prospects

Mansfield Wrotto was a better QB than you are a thread starter

Copy that. I hear ya.

Yeah I’d be ok with him at the end of rd 4. I really like his fit, he’s young (20) and I like his interviews. Ok. Are there any potential UDFA’s that you have your eyes on?

Cool. I’m confidant he’ll get drafted before rd 6. id be thrilled with him in rd 5 and believe he’ll go rd 4, maybe 3
