I know this is a complicated concept, but ... stay with me here ... third round picks are cheaper than expensive free agent offensive weapons. With that third round pick ... again, buckle up because this is tough ... they can draft a Wide Receiver and then layer on other free agents after June 1st who don't count against their comp formula.

Excited if drafted in 1st round: 1. JSN Meh if drafted in 1st round: 2. Zay Flowers Excited if trade back and drafted in early 2nd: 3. Quentin Johnson 4. Marvin Mims 5. Jordan Addison - very overrated ... not understanding the love, but 2nd round is better value 6. Tank Dell - my favorite prospect ... love his get-off Meh if drafted in the late 2nd: 7. Jalyn Hyatt 8. Rashee Rice 9. A.T. Perry 10. Cedric Tillman

They’ve known each other since they were 8 and have dated since before he was drafted. Give the two of them some grace and show a little respect for our guy and his longtime girlfriend.

I don’t necessarily want the Bills to trade for him, but if anyone didn’t watch the Cardinals on Hard Knocks this season, Budda was the heart and soul of that team. Anyone saying “not a process guy” or “not a character guy” knows nothing about him. On a related note, the Cardinals might be a dumpster fire the next 5-10 years with all of the terrible signing and drafting they’ve done.

Since you’re the second person to mention these two guys, I’ll address it. DeSean Jackson and Devonta Smith both have elite physical traits. The way they get open is nobody can touch them. Addison doesn’t have that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but comparing Addison to a player who runs 4.35 is like comparing Isaiah McKenzie to DK Metcalf.

Something about Jordan Addison doesn’t feel right. With that slender frame, I think he’s gonna get pushed around at the NFL level and be a 3rd WR at best.

Honestly, I wish this thread was just called "Terry Pegula is not cheap" ... That's what the twitter poll was about and it's something to be happy about. Doesn't seem necessary to further drag our deceased owner, who founded the team and helped it survive in Buffalo for decades, in the same thread.

So ... we're officially in the "Epensa can go to ILB too" portion of the thread ... Welp, I'm done here!

If we're going to ignore the 7 page thread I made on this exact same topic a week prior to this one, can we at least merge the two?

It’s Brady and it’s not close. Number of super bowls is not close. Supporting cast is not close. Stats are not close. Regular season and post season performance are not close. Years/Eras of dominance are not close. If you think Montana is close, you’re just an old timer reminiscing about the good ol’ days.

Edmunds thread coming in 5...4...3...2...

I was using examples from the team whose message board we're posting on right now. If it makes you feel more secure, I can use examples from another team like Zach Wilson and Eddie Lacey.

Every off-season: Tua’s new look Motor’s new look Epenesa’s new look Basham’s new look Somehow it never does anything.

Ok... well the whole reason you made this comment is saying you want Terrel Bernard on the field, so would he be the only linebacker on the field? 3 Corners + 3 Safeties + 4 Defensive Linemen = 10 players. You only get to have 11 players on the field. So ... bench Matt Milano?

So… Taron Johnson to the bench at $10M+/yr?

Let’s think about this logically. Trading up in the 1st will cost at least a 2nd or 3rd round pick. So… if they want to go Offense in the 1st, do you think they’d rather spend pick 27 on a WR/RB/OL and draft a middle linebacker in the 2nd? ORRRRR take a slightly better WR/RB/OL via trade up and have ABSOLUTELY NOBODY at middle linebacker?

So… what led you to make this bold claim? Was it the 7 page thread I created on the topic a week ago?

Let's pause again for a moment to appreciate the support the Pegulas give to this franchise. There's no doubt in my mind they'd pay whatever they have to pay to get those picks and load Beane up with more draft capital. Good ownership matters.

Dawson Knox is signed to a huge contract through 2027, so you can value Tight End all you want, but we aren't looking for a #1 Tight End. If you draft a WR and they hit, the bar isn't #2 WR, it's #1 WR... which I hope we'd agree is a more valuable position than #2 Tight End. The top 5 WR in the league get paid $25M-$30M per year. The top 5 TE in the league get paid $14M-$17M per year. If you want to know which one is more valuable, follow the money.

I don't know where you guys are looking... Drew Sanders: https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/players/2023/drew-sanders Jack Campbell: https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/players/2023/jack-campbell That website aggregates all mock drafts and rankings and Sanders is ranked significantly better.

1. Drew Sanders 2. Marvin Mims Jr.

This is not accurate and you’re probably just looking at Combine numbers rather than play speed. Do yourself a favor and watch highlights for both on YouTube. You’ll see the difference immediately. One is a first round quality prospect, the other is not.

Alright, so… I think I got my answer. People just don’t know him. To the folks saying he’s too small, he’s the same size as Luke Keuchly. To the folks saying he’s not as instinctive as Jack Campbell… look him up on YouTube. I’d say he’s significantly more instinctive, twitchy, and explosive both in coverage and against the run. Guys… he’s a better prospect for any system, but particularly the base Nickel system McDermott runs as it puts a premium on agility and ability to address large coverage windows. I won’t bother posting links or videos, but please do yourselves a favor and watch both. Don’t just settle for the guy you’ve heard more about.

All across the message board I keep seeing folks talk about Jack Campbell. Why is nobody talking about Drew Sanders? Same position, better fit, significantly better player … is the assumption that he won’t fall to us?

This wouldn’t be because you’re a Chiefs fan and your best WR left and they’re in the running for DHop … right?
