His speed was fine at the combine. His performance in other drills was subpar which hopefully is attributable to the sickness

I wouldn't mind him in Rd2, I think at 28 he would be overdrafted. Bills do seem to like him though with all the communication, so I'll trust Beane

What's Ladd's odds? or Baker

I understand your rationale, but, I don't think Worthy is anywhere close to the WR as Thomas II, Picking him at 28 is a severe overdraft. I would much rather draft Ladd at 28 and trade up to the middle 2nd to grab Legette, Franklin, Worthy or Coleman

Yeah I like your idea - these mock draft simulators probably don't hold too true, but they seem to have Thomas II going too high in the 1st and often have Mitchell going before our 28. My favorite ideas are: 1. Ladd McConkey and trade #60 and our 2nd round pick next year for #40 and grab Legette. Would love adding Ladd and Legette and the draft is so deep at DLine that we can get good ones in Rds 4 and 5. Remember, we'd still have the 32 pick of Minnesota next year, or 2. Ladd at #28 and see who last to 60s. Legette and Franklin will probably be gone, but could get Walker, Baker, maybe even Polk. Ladd and Walker would be nice

Doubt they're trading Brown - young and no even close to his ceiling

Hopefully draft more than 1 WR. But, yes, after 6.1 we'll have some extra money to spend

I agree with you but I add ladd to the list. I think he may end up being the best of all of the above,

Shakir too

It takes two to make a trade, but I would hope so

Agreed, especially considering that some of the 2024 mid 2nd round WR's would possibly be 1st round WR's in a normal year. WR position is stacked as is DL, both very good for us. Beane should get some steals in rounds 4/5/6, even 7 where he currently has 8 picks

In the mock I did, Thomas actually fell to #28. It would be a dream, but I think not realistic, so I didn't choose him.

Yep - that was me I think. I believe trading up to 5/6 cost too much, so I think Beane Monitors Thomas II and if he falls to the late teens, he tries to trade #28 and a 2025 2nd to move up and grab him. If Thomas II goes earlier than 15, he does something like this mock draft I just did. #28 McConkey Trade #60, #133 and #160 to PHI for #50 #50 Legette (note: Coleman and Polk arestill available too if Beane prefers either). Perhaps, if it played out this way, Beane wouldn't trade up and just wait to see who last to #60

It's certainly the riskier option, but, I think we need to go young. I draft McConkey at #28 and move up from #60 to the low to mid 40's and double up by drafting Legette/Coleman/Polk or Franklin - whomever they prefer and whomever is left. From their meetings, it really seems the Bills like McConkey and Legette. Franklin too but he's model skinny.

(A) Nabers is my choice too, but he may go to LAC at #5 after Harrison goes #4 to ARI. If he last to #6. Beane should have a deal in place with his old friend Schoen: #6 to BUF #28, 2025 1st and 2025 2nd (prob the one just acquired) and a 5th in 2024 and 5th in 2025 to NYG A lot to give up but Nabers is worth it (B) Alternatively, my second favorite idea is drafting my man crush McConkey at #28 (not a sure thing he lasts to #28 though) and either moving up in the 2nd round or standing pat (depending if there's a run on the 2nd tier receivers) to get Franklin, Legette, Polk, Coleman, Wilson, Worthy, Burton, Walker (whomever they like best) (C) a small trade up for Thomas JR if he slides to late teens is what I think Beane does. #28 and 2025 2nd to move up.
