34-78-83

Many people are underselling XL because of what they've parroted from other people, and that's fine. One trick pony he is NOT. Watch the all-snaps video. Anyway, 1st round picks are for athletic traits and upside in my opinion. I do think LM is going to be a reliable, consistent separator and fine player and would be happy to get him as well, just not my preference. If he is part of a "double dip" at WR I'd be ecstatic. I am not one of those "this guy is great, so this other guy sucks" people that are so common on forums.

well good on the Bills if we can get enough negative talk about BTJ to have him slide closer or even all the way to 28!

I'm swinging for a home run, so I'm taking Legette.

I think most serious football fans in these type of discussions know that teams play a lot more zone now. What some here are referring to in most cases when they reference needing a WR who can beat man is our need to have players that are able to win vs the clutching and grabbing type man coverage that is legalized (unwritten rule) in the NFL playoffs every year. Credit folks like @BADOLBILZ for pointing this out many times previously. With that said it comes down to those folks wanting a type of WR that can consistently win against those tactics. After that, it comes down to trying to judge these draft prospects in that area. I am not sold that looking purely at their numbers vs man or press man in college alone are going to provide those complete answers. Sometimes its a little more obvious than that, ie. some athleticism/size combinations just win more easily vs those tactics.

Nailed it!

Yep, of course...That kinda goes without saying. My point was just going off of trade capital and value charts

Going all in on the trade up (2 1's and 2 2's) for Odunze. Happy with the depth as well.

you can get from 28 to 8 with this years and next years 1st rounders and 2nd rounders. Sure, thats a lot! But you don't need to add in Josh

I definitely respect your opinion on draftees but I think we'll all end up seeing in the league that he's going to be very good vs press. I respect analytics as well (Harmon is a full on analytics guy) but its just pretty obvious to me that he's a guy a team is going to want out there to work against man clutching and grabbing in the NFL playoffs. We'll see how it shakes out!... I feel quite confident on it. Edit - to add - I should have said suddenness for his size

Yep, along with the ability to win vs press man in the NFL playoffs, which is what the Bills haven't had this whole time. His physicality and suddenness would give us that.

Murphy dropped to 28! I adjusted accordingly and dove back into rd 2 using capital from 2025 to secure the WR position.

Recall as well that many of the recent Bills picks did NOT have many visits with the team. I think its starting to get over-used as a predictor. Certainly it reflects interest, but how much beyond that is unclear. I agree on the Jacksonville concern.

dropping just 8 spots from 28 to 36 while picking up a 3rd is getting swindled? Sorry I don't understand... Now I get 3 total picks in the top 78 as opposed to 2, and again, only moved back 8 spots to get it. All good though, love ya Bill!

Both good and interesting points between you and Virgil, but (IMO) its a bit of making football into rocket science when it isn't. The gadget guys of the world like McKenzie have way more limitations in their game that limited the way they could be used than any limitations or lack of imagination by a coordinator, and not just by the Bills but by any team. I have absolutely no concern that Brady and an entire staff of well paid experts is going to struggle to find ways to use guys like Legette, BTJ or Mitchell.

28 for 36 and 78 is a realistic value match (I doubt they would get more). @Alphadawg7 If we don't end up trading up for one of the top 4 WR's, I actually prefer this type of trade back to staying put at 28 for Beane.
