  1. I buy it as a concept. I think it primarily applies after the top 20. I’ll use the extreme example in MHJ. The chances of him failing are very small. Now, if you want to say that Legette and Baker for example is a coin flip, sure. I think there are high floor and low ceiling prospects. There are also boom or bust guys. Those type of guys I’ll buy that you’re better off with 2 swings than 1.

    i have a friend who sits in lower bowl , 50 yard line, with 1965 seniority.

     

    he has NOT been called for his experience appt yet

     

    so i highly doubt anyone else from the lower bowl has been called

    I’m not saying that it is or isn’t true. I do believe that this scenario presented is a real one. People that sit lower level, near midfield, will have the opportunity to move into the field club. That is the equivalent location. It is obviously a lot more than they currently pay but that was always going to be the case for that real estate. I think it is only on one side of the field (but not sure). If they don’t elect to do that they will keep their priority as other seats open. Basically, there isn’t going to be regular 100 level seating between the ‘40’s (at least on one side of the field).

    They are reducing prices already?

     

    We figured closer to the goal line would drop the cost. I’m at like the 10 and it went from $20k to $15k. That just was released today. They still have more sections closer to the end zone. It may still go down but this felt like a small win. We moved one section from where we would have been and saved $20k on PSLs and $2k on the tickets.

    What a deal.  

     

    :D 

     

     

    Considering a week ago, and 1 section over, it would have been $20k more in PSLs it felt like a win.

    Hello Kirby thanks for the info.

     

    So I'm assuming you got 4 PSLs at 60k. 4 x 15k = 60k.

     

    You have until Dec 1 2026 to pay it off.

     

    So you have the rest of 2024 which is may though dec or 8 months.

     

    Then all of 2025 and 2026 which is 24 months.

     

    That totals up to 32 months total

     

    So you owe 60k / 32 months which is 1875.00 a month until 2026.

     

    That doesn't even count the cost of season tickets which are many thousands more.

     

    Is my math right? I was just trying to get an idea of the total cost.

     

    Thanks !!

    The tickets are $4850 on top of that in the new stadium. I think they’re like $2500-$3000k now. I have 2 and my brother has 2. Right now, I paid the down payment for 2 and pay on my current 2. As of June, I’ll pay $700something a month until 12/1/26 for the license fee.

    Congrats!  I’m sure it stings a bit financially, but it should feel great to get it figured out and have your new spot. 

     

    It feels like a small win. I was thinking that it was going to be $20k per but holding out worked. They called immediately. We moved to the next section over. We saved $10k in license fees and like $1k in tickets annually. My brother did too because we are together.

     

    Someone had asked on the payment structure too. It is 20% today and then the rest is divided evenly until December 1, 2026 (interest free).

    WR needs trump others, of that there is no doubt. But I must disagree to use up lot of resources in this and 2025 draft to move into the top 10. 

    I just hope we don't use our first pick on anything but a WR. 

    I just think that getting one of those top 3 is worth the investment. I believe MHJ is a top 10 NFL WR right now. If I can get that on a rookie deal, sign me up!! I’ll allocate the rest of my cap savings to pass rush and whatever else we need. The flexibility of a top end number 1 on a rookie deal is too much for me to pass on.

    If we use #60 for a trade up or for a second WR, I am concerned about the S position. While I understand not drafting for need, we still need to fill the pipeline. 

    How would you propose filling the S , and another EDGE, in this off season? 

    Wouldn't a more modest trade up for a Thomas and preserving our picks this year for S, EDGE, OL make more sense?

    I guess that I’m less concerned with S. They can get by with what they have now and draft one in the 4th. They would have Edwards, Rapp, Cam and a pick. My goal though is to sign Justin Simmons post June 1. Either way though, S isn’t a spot to use prime assets on. It’s not an expensive position. 
     

    There is a gap between Thomas and the top 3 IMO (although I like him). WR is infinitely more important than their other needs. You address that to the best of your ability before you worry about anything else. I’m not saying, “skip Odunze because you might get a lesser safety.” I just don’t care.

     

    Needs to me look like:

     

    WR1

     

     

     

     

     

     

    WR2

     

     

     

     

    everything else

    Mock drafts, media analysis, bills fans, etc.. everyone has the Bills doing things to address the WR position with Diggs leaving and the larger hole that is now created. Realistically outside of a trade for a Aiyuk or Tee Higgins type player where it is established WR with a track record of production, the WR position will be a question and probably still an area of concern. Even if the Bills move up to draft one of the big three WRs there will be a question of immediate production and adjustment to the NFL. If the Bills move back and draft 2 WRs in rounds 2-3 your at least initially expectation wise at a lower starting point compared to one of the big three guys. The production Diggs had given even with the drop the back half of the season and the now loss of him and Davis production also is going to be a question for everyone and those stepping in. 

     

    Is there a scenario for you that makes you comfortable with the position moving forward?

    I don’t see any questions or periods of adjustment with the big 3. That’s a big reason why I want the move up. This holds especially true for MHJ. He’s 1200 yards & 8+ TDs as a rookie. WR translates pretty easily. Any of the 3 is WR1 in the first day and a difference maker.

     

    The only concern for me on a big trade up is that it still leaves a hole at WR2. There are still some FAs and guys that will be around in round 4. I don’t think that they have another pure boundary WR on the roster (unless Shorter comes out of nowhere). If they’re using their 2nd as part of the package to go up you’re going to be thin on the boundary. 
     

    I guess that if they go up into the top 10, my hope is that they can preserve 60  in this draft. Maybe the package is something like 28, 128, ‘25 1st & ‘25 Vikings 2nd. They could then use 60 to get a guy like Pearsall. Now, you’re in a good spot at WR and a GREAT spot financially at the position.

    Not sure if true or not.  I was guessing 50 yard line seats would be at $10K for a PSL but this wouldn't surprise me

    If these are Field Clubs then the PSL price & midfield location mesh but Field clubs are on the Visitor side. 

    I believe that you are correct. Basically, people that currently sit lower level, at midfield, have the opportunity to go into the field club. That’s the pricing there. It includes food and non-alcoholic beverages but the seats aren’t covered or heated. You also can’t see the game from the club.

    There shouldn't be any swapping of picks.  IF there is punishment they will take picks from Atlanta.

    Maybe, but they could make the point that the tampering wasn’t just a violation of the rules but damaging to the Vikings. It’s like a civil case as opposed to a criminal case. I’m not sure anything happens but interesting nonetheless.

  11. After drafting Franklin here, I’d call the Vikings and offer them the next 2 picks plus our 2025 first for Jefferson. Make them say no. 
     

    If they say no, call SF & Cincy and offer the next pick + Bills 2025 2nd for Ayiuk and Higgins.

    I would actually rather get two freaks at WR. Shoot for the moon. In my mind I've decided the most exciting pair would be Xavier Legette and Xavier Worthy. Trust that putting two freaks on the field with a freak QB will lead to explosive results. There might be rough patches at first, but hopefully by the time the playoffs roll around we would have an offense that could attack literally any spot on the field.

    I’d be okay with that because I don’t see massive risk with Worthy. I know he’s small but he is a quality WR. It isn’t just a little fast guy.

  13. 10 minutes ago, nosejob said:

    But if one were forced to choose, do you take Ladd, miss Legette and shoot for Walker/ Burton /Baker/Polk?  Or get Leggette than maybe target a Pearsall?

     

    Ladd and Legette would a dream to me.

    Ladd & Baker or Legette and Pearsall are both great outcomes to me. I like Polk too. Burton & Walker have a couple too many questions but would jump at either in the 4th. There are lots of options.

     

    I have gone back and forth on the best way to do this. It’s changed since the Diggs trade too. For me, getting one of the top 3 is option 1. You’re getting a number 1, with limited questions, on a rookie deal. Yes, you’ll spend draft capital but tell me a better use for it than getting Josh a number 1 on a rookie deal? Yes, the Bills need pass rushers too but can throw cap space at it next year and/or whatever draft capital is left.

     

    My second choice is 2 in the top 60 with complementary skill sets. They have to have a guy that can contribute now and can gamble on a high ceiling guy.

    I really don't see the Bills rushing to add another WR they are going to have to immediately pay.  I think the rookie deal is part of the benefit and what we need right now.  We are decent with the cap next year, but not 30 mil to one player decent.  

    I think that I agree here. With the Bills resetting the cap next year though, it could make sense. It could be both as well. If the Bills make the deal referenced above (for example) they can still take a guy at 28 because they have a starting spot available. If you added Ayiuk (for example) you can take a higher upside guy with some question marks at 28 (Mitchell, Legette or gasp, Coleman). I’m not advocating for it but could certainly get behind it.

    Yessir - I'm crushing on Ladd right about now. Draft and play WR. Josh would have his most reliable WR since........he who shall not be mentioned.

     

    Then, go get Leggette, Troy or Tez.

    Ladd and Legette would be really nice IMO.

    It’s just worrisome to walk into the year with  samuel- Shakir - 3rd tier rookie that is not a slam dunk and even if good likely takes some time to get there. 
     

    I said it elsewhere but the idea that we could be week 1 with Shakir- a very green leggette -shorter and hollins if Curtis Samuel rolls an ankle or pulls a muscle in camp is not great. 

    suddenly it puts some of that super man requirement on Josh way too early in the season 

    I don’t disagree. I’ve been on team, “trade way up for top 3” for a little while. I want a second guy as well (and maybe a 3rd).
     

    If the Bills do plan on waiting until 28 (which I don’t believe) then I think you have to get 2 guys before 60. The need for them to get roughly 200 targets from guys not yet on the roster, keeps bumping McConkey up to me. He can handle 100 targets tomorrow with his skill set, route running and SEC experience. You can then turn around and try to come up for Legette (my choice). I don’t think that the Bills can count on a raw toolsy prospect as their top pick without pairing that with a more dependable skill set to complement him.

    I think that’s the point though. The board here is very split. I’m sure the Bills have a specific target in mind in the real world. But for the purpose of this excercise and the way this thing is playing out the options seem to be:

     

    1. Huge trade up for one of the big 3

    2. Smaller trade up for Thomas

    3. Sit tight or tiny trade up for AD Mitchell

    4. if Thomas is gone and they don’t like Mitchell it makes sense to trade down. 
     

    Mitchell would have won the vote again, but for this mock he was not an option. Thomas was gone, we could not take Mitchell and so it made sense to trade down imo. 

    I think that option 5 is the veteran route. MAYBE you can trade 1 of your 4ths & the Vikings 2025 2nd for Aiyuk (for example)? 
     

    Regardless of everyone’s preference it feels like WR1 is inevitable.
