EmotionallyUnstable

I’d be surprised if the Gmen take a QB with their current GM/Coach combo. I have them pegged at one of the big 3. I also disagree on the Bears and Jax, but for different reasons. I think the Bears still are firmly in the WR market despite recent acquisitions. Jax isn’t dying for a number one, with Christian Kirk and the additions of Gabe Davis but I do agree that they still could look at WR. Could they do better to protect Lawrence? Probably.

This is me. Im dying for a banger trade for the excitement of getting a legit prospect. It would be entertaining. Realistically I don’t think it’s the best choice, but from a pure enjoyment standpoint: I’d rather get hyped for someone everyone loves than settling for WR5 at #28 and be left feeling like I have to convince myself to be excited.

Great history and info here. You can read into this so many ways. My initial reaction is that this move was a decade ago. The game has changed and WR is now a flooded draft pool. Is there no history in this because it’s not wise? I think those top talents are game changers but how certain are they vs someone at 25 or 28? I think Beane looks at all the variables and decides the risks are not worth the reward here. Worse case scenario could be devastating to this team in Allen’s next 2-3 seasons, right within his prime. Can we compare Demitroff’s history to Beane’? I am not convinced that looking at a different GMs patterns would indicate anything as to what our GM will do. The best predictor of the future is past behavior, not your neighbors. Rare moves are the outliers, and I don’t think the state of the roster and with the other factors (talent pool, cost, risk) I would be floored if this happened.

For the record, my vote was no!

Chicago Bears get: Josh Allen Buffalo Bills get: #1, #9, 2025 1st and 2nd If not, what would it take? Everybody’s got a price!

@Kirby Jackson, prepare to be disappointed IMO. Right or wrong to do it, looking at Beane and his history of round 1 suggests otherwise. Even his three largest moves to date (Diggs, Allen, Edmunds) are not even close to the level of this kind of monumental deal. He’s been historically more likely to move slightly in RD1. I’d be very surprised to see this happen and get to #4. Pair this with the cards reportedly asking for 3 #1’s….i just don’t see it.

As PC as the comments seem, this is honestly why GMs are always claiming “we’ll stick with our board. We’re always open to business and want to explore our options but we trust our evaluations and will see them through” The only other option is to panic, which I feel like happens more often than we’d like to think (even at OBD). That said, those swings have to be taken later in day three.

There are just too many options for me to wrap my head around what the Bills will end up doing. The variables are too great. The one thing I get more and more confident about as we get closer and the more I read, is that we will not be moving up for a big 3 into the top 10. I’d be surprised if we went into the teens even.

This is way too rationale and even keeled. Can you try again a little more unhinged?

Wanted to go with Kam Kichens because Beane was just saying they are trying to look past measurable onto tape…he ran poorly, but has been a dude…still a reach. Kind of hate this trade back scenario

With the 52nd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the LA Rams select Bralen Trice, Washington, Edge I had a few guys on my radar here: I liked Rakestraw until the trade up nabbed him. OT seems a bit picked over, and then Adisa Issac two picks ago….BUT: Trice is a gamer. Had some rough testing at the combine which allows us a guy who plays best in full gear in Sundays, not in the shorts Olympics in the off season. After getting DL help in round one from Murphy, we’ll continue to bolster the defensive side of the ball up front. I don’t think Trice is a game wrecker, but he can be a nice piece as a future starter and has a floor as a situational player while the Rams learn to survive in the post- Donald era. The Phelon-dolphia Iggles and anything-but @Logic are on the clock

In spirit of the thread, I think this is where many folks get hung up. We like to discuss players as if the suit a particular position a la “he can play the X”…I’m just not so sure that labeling it as such nearly describes WHY people are making that comparison. I think the traditional roles of an X or Z or slot are often over cast onto specific skill sets (quickness, size, etc). As you said, idc what you call them, but can they win and win now? A guy like worthy isn’t on the table at 28 for the Bills IMO not because he “can’t play the X” but because he likely will not offer skills that they value such as blocking, winning of LOS etc

A reach? Any particular reason you went with him?

It absolutely is. But if the bills trade back and select a RUNNING BACK in the 2nd round after just spending one on cook, and two 3rds on Singletary and Moss…ppl will revolt (rightfully so IMO) Our RB range should firmly be in the 5th round and on
