It's hard to believe anything you hear on the week of the draft, but one report I heard said he may not be 100% for the first season, if not unavailable for some of it
There's rumors of Worthy going in the top 10 to someone like the Raiders or Dolphins who love speed. I can't see the Dolphins doing it with all their other needs, but it wouldn't be the first time that someone overdrafted a guy because of his 40 time
Based on this it could be possible Brian Thomas would be available at 28 anyhow or maybe we trade up like 2-3 spots like usual to get our guy if they really did target him

This has to be a landslide for Thomas, no?
I don't see much of a difference between him and some of the other guys plus it's reported that he now has a shoulder issue and may need surgery but who knows. I'd rather they had not traded up at all if this is who is available on the board

From all the derogatory comments and opinions I hear in my travels around the State I'm wondering if Biden is even going to win New Jersey. The consensus is life under Biden sucks and under Trump it wasn't so bad.
The only bad part was the media whining about it for 4 years

The closer we get to the draft the more I want us to move up to 8 and grab Odunze. I don’t expect him to slip past Chicago. I know this mortgages our future, but Odunze has character, intelligence, and elite skills. He’d be perfect for Allen. If we can’t make that happen, I’d be okay to move out of the first round altogether and take 2 WR’s to buck the odds.
Plus you get him for 4 years at a super cheap salary vs paying someone 25-30m per in free agency

Here is why I hope Trump wins. Then he will raid Biden and maybe the dummies on this board will see how bad this is for democracy. If Trump actually did win can you imagine the riots from the dirtbags? It would be January 6 times 1000. That's right...January 6000!!!

I'd agree that if you don't get one of the top 3 in this draft that there will be more hits in the back of the draft than there will be with WR picks 4-6 so trade way up or trade back. Do not trade up to 20 for the 4th best guy because the 4th best guy might not be until round 3, who knows at that point

You're using the Senior Bowl as a measuring stick? He played in the SEC and destroyed his competition at South Carolina in 2023.
The one-year-wonder conversation is more nuanced. There were a lot of circumstances involved with that, including a late shift to the position and a motorcycle accident, among other things.
I'm not advocating a trade up. But I'd be happy with him at 28.
I'll say this. I'd be happier with Leggette at 28 than I would trading up for Brian Thomas who I think is a pretty similar skill set. BTJ is a slightly better athlete but Leggette is thick and can be a returner and a blocker as well so it's really what's your flavor kind of thing. But if the Bills spend a lot to trade up for BTJ I think that's pretty stupid as I think you can trade BACK and still get Leggette at the top of round 2
The only thing I can think is that BTJ is younger and maybe Brady has some inside knowledge on him or something. Otherwise I think it's a dumb move. They would be mortgaging the future in hopes that there's more to BTJ than meets the eye and maybe there's not.

Latu seems like one of those guys where he keeps dropping and dropping and everyone is going crazy and then Bills come up and pass on him too and everyone is like wtf and then we find out he failed medicals, something draft people aren't privy to. And then the Cowboys or Chiefs draft him and he's an all pro lol

How about our extra 4th this year and next year's #1 to go up to #9 with the Bears? Maybe we will throw in like a 6th or something this year as well to help sweeten the deal. The Bears only have 4 picks in this year's draft so if they could add 2 more plus a #1 next year it would be to their benefit. They are already pretty stacked at WR, Odunze would be their #3 option on their offense (DJ Moore, Keenan Allen).

Rumor is that QB's will go 1-4 so that drops the top 3 WR's a bit and one of those guys might fall out of the top 10. It wouldn't be too crazy to think they could get to around 10 if they gave up next year's #1 while still maintaining a high 2nd rounder (Vikings 2nd from Diggs trade) which could act as their 1st if they believe they are going to pick around 30 anyhow. Vikings 2nd is likely top 35-40 so they wouldn't be totally screwed for next year.

Can I ask you guys why you think Xavier Leggette is so clearly not a 1st rounder?
If he was a round 1 guy he would have destroyed the competition at the senior bowl. He did not. He had 5 years in college and was only good for 1 of those years when by then he was 2-3 years older and more seasoned than everyone else. He has had a lot of drops. I think he can be a faster Gabe Davis type. Would you use a 1st round pick on Gabe Davis? I like him but not in round 1. To me he's a 2nd rounder

He lost me with Xavier Leggette as round 1 and the 4th receiver on the board over Brian Thomas Jr. I've watched a lot of these and nobody has ever been that high on Leggette. It reminds me of when Chris Trepasso had Mason Rudolph as his QB1 and said he would be the next Marino. I think these guys try to be controversial on purpose so if it pans out then they look smart

I don't think there's a single reason why firearm deaths are increasing. It's probably a confluence of multiple factors.
However, we do know ways to reduce them:
- Child-access prevention laws reduce total firearm self-injuries (including suicides) among young people
- Child-access prevention laws reduce firearm homicides or firearm assault injuries among young people
- Child-access prevention laws reduce unintentional firearm injuries and deaths among children
- Stand Your Ground laws *increase* total homicide rates, including firearm homicide rates
- Shall-issue concealed carry laws increase firearm homicides
- Dealer background checks and universal background checks reduce homicides
- Minimum age of purchase laws reduce firearm suicides
- Waiting periods reduce rates of firearm suicide and total homicide
- Gun possession prohibitions associated with domestic violence may reduce intimate partner homicides
If you want to go micro, you might learn that rural countries have a 37% higher rate of firearm deaths than most urban counties.
I would be for a lot of common sense laws. The reason others are not is a distrust in the government where if you give an inch they take a mile. Look at race or gay rights issues. When I was a kid it was let's make it so everyone is equal. Now it's all about how we aren't equal so they need equity. If we give in to tough gun laws then next will be gun confiscations. I wish we could all get along and do the right things but there is big divide between pro and anti gun groups. When the president says he's going to take your guns then no wonder people have dug their heels in

Keeping in mind that the reason the Australian stabbing made international news is because of how rare mass killings are there, here's just some examples of how it goes when someone tries a mass killing in Texas:
- 2017: 26 year old Air Force vet opened fire at a church, killing 26 people
- 2017: 32 year old man opens fire at a football watch party, killing 8
- 2018: 17 year old killed 10 people at a high school near Huston
- 2019: 36 year old started randomly shooting people between Midland and Odessa, killing 7
- 2019: 21 year old opened fire at a Walmart, killing 22
- 2022: 18 year old kills 21 at Uvalde Elementary School
- 2023: Gunman kills 8 in mall shooting
Also, keep in mind that even in a country with so many guns:
- self-defense gun use occurs in only 1% of shootings.
- More guns equals more gun homicides: for every 1% increase in gun ownership, the firearm homicide rate increased by 0.9%
- States with higher rates of gun ownership have disproportionately large numbers of firearm related homicides
So yeah, if someone wanted to kill a bunch of people in Texas, they'd just get a gun and mow people down.
They could also get a car and run people over or do a suicide bombing. What's your point? That you can use a gun to kill a lot of people? I would argue that there are much easier ways. So let's ban cars right? Makes a lot of sense. There used to not be a lot of mass casualty events in this country as well. But meanwhile there was always guns. So what changed?

And, IMO, McConkey is about as close to a skill set to Diggs as there is. Size, route running, and McConkey is a bit faster.I think a big knock on McConkey was his ability to fight through man coverage at the line. Thus he would play more in the slot at the next level. If you are playing the Diggs role then you are out there on an island and you need to be able to get off the line. I think he's best served in the slot. But agree to disagree

It depends on what you want. Do you want another small slot guy or do you want a big strong blocking guy? Or do you get someone like AD Mitchell to play the Diggs role? I like McConkey but I think we already have some McConkey's on the team and we need a Gabe or Diggs replacement

The better question is, how will it be obtained? And will it be videotaped?
