I don’t suffer fools gladly. And if I’m being honest, that’s been a bit of a hindrance in my life. But still……a RB because his dad played for the team and an off the ball LB. Both top 5.

That movie is dumb as F. All that unrealistic BS that everyone who seriously follows the draft knows is ridiculous. And the cherry on top is the GM does it all for a RB and an off the ball LB. SMDH.

This is the evidence I keep coming back to. Some people here are banging the “you don’t need an elite WR” drum pretty hard, but NFL teams are paying them large and that tells the opposite story.

I’d feel a lot better about that statement if it wasn’t the same thing that what was said about Shaq Lawson.

Basically still a rookie!

That’s exactly the issue. It’s gonna hurt, but I am still expecting it to happen.

The Bears have picks #1 and #9 overall in this year’s draft. They are taking Caleb Williams with 1 to replace Fields, whom they traded to Pittsburgh. Them trading 9 to acquire more picks is a possibility.

That is incorrect. The Bills can easily create a huge amount of cap space next offseason.

Next offseason it’ll be easier to sell FAs on the team too. We would already have an explosive, complete offense and would just need some defensive playmakers to round out a SB caliber roster.

This year and next. They will have cap space to make some moves for 2025 though.

I agree. This is how I see it playing out. We get into the top 9 for a top 3 WR, but the price will be steeper than most here expect. This team will have to win with offense this season and they need a stud WR for the offense to do that. The fact that the team is at the forefront of PSL sales and needs to keep the fan base stoked adds pressure from the top. 2025 draft capital will be sacrificed.

Choices that they’re legally allowed to make……..apparently.

I think Beane will try to make a big trade up and that he’ll probably succeed. The difference at WR after the top three probably doesn’t warrant a move. If he can’t make a big move up then I think he’ll try to trade back. The feasibility of those trades is the big question.

Somewhat related tidbit I heard in Central PA last weekend is that Terry Pegula recently met with Neeli Bendapudi, the president of Penn State, about filling their NIL coffers. He is already a huge donor to the university so it’s not a surprise.

I have seen the Steelers named a very logical destination for Aiyuk. Need, cap space, draft capital and preferred AFC destination all line up. No inside info, just makes sense. Also I’d hate it, so it’ll probably happen.

That would be a big overpay by SF. If they gave that much up they could move up higher than our pick. Or we’d likely have to send back a 4th.

Seems like a nice, safe pick that will get some goodwill from the fans. Not coincidentally it appears that the team is for sale.

Suamataia at 121. Wow.

It doesn’t matter at all. A bunch of teams lie to a bunch players every year by telling them they’ll pick them at whatever pick. That talk is meaningless and is put out there to mislead other teams. Legette repeating it to reporters is just part of the game.

I think choosing two is cheating. I’d take the long career. Most players’ careers are very short.

Front office. I could do that job forever.

I could do a shuffle pass, but that’s probably it.

whoops! sorry about that. no, the chargers can’t trade Hebert. $108.5M dead cap if they traded him. That can’t happen.

It’s tough to see how the Bills could work a deal to pay an expensive vet contract. They chose not to be more aggressive on contract restructures so that tells me that they chose not to go the high priced vet route. I think next offseason they’ll target to add talent that way. This season it’s just the draft.

No, it is not allowed. Post 6/1 designation is for cut players only.
