IDK, I'm hoping BBB can put together a big package to get Odunze. If that fails to materialize I'm hearing and hoping maybe Thomas slips and then maybe we can try to jump up a little bit to grab him. If neither of those happen then hopefully we land Worthy @ 28.
IDK, just say no to Mitchell and McConkey imho.

I don't think it's crazy to think if Zack was handled and developed differently we may have a different opinion of him. The guy was basically drafted to be the savior on day 1 and then thrown to the wolves on one of the most forlorn teams and a defensive minded coach. Jets fans had the SB pegged before they even submitted the draft card. I bet if Team McBeane spent the draft capital we'd have done a better job developing and got more out of him. *shrugs*

Pretty good question and funny topic! Sadly, nothing more than a shuffle pass here. I couldn't generate enough zip to hit on a little slant or curl. At 5'10" I couldn't even see over the line to hit anyone. The thought of what that might even look like is side splittingly funny to me. Yeah... No.

If the bank would just loan me the money, I could pay it back with the profits and interest easy, I promise!

RIP Dickey, you'll be missed.
Dickey was most recently playing with his band(s) The Dickey Betts Band & Great Southern. He was asked to leave the ABB due to his resurgence of heavy drinking and alcoholism in the 90's. Gregg was suffering liver failure and his drinking days had long been behind him when Dickeys drinking flared up again (Gregg and Dickey battled alcoholism on and off most of their adult lives). Dickey was able to sober up afterwards and his band(s) and shows moving forward were worth while.
Dickeys son and Greggs son currently play together in a "Revival" band that is pretty fantastic. They came to Klienhans last year and put on a great show! Highgly recommend if you're a fan of ABB music.

He's clearly a thoughtful man with his head screwed on straight. He's easy to root for imho. +1

This will be canceled or rescheduled, Brazil is in a state or turmoil atm, they're approaching riots and civil and unrest. I'll be surprised if this happens this year.

Shakir reminds me of a smaller Robert Woods, that's a pretty solid comparison and good company to keep. I also expect Samuel to have a very good season as well. I'm excited to see how brady uses him. I see him having success on broken plays too, where he's coming back to Josh and getting some nice YAC plays.

We are gonna double dip on the greatest WR class ever!
It definitely changes the draft outlook for sure. 🤞

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, I saw another discussion about the dead cap hit, but who were we going to sign? What big FA's were left for us to sign? Unless Beane was banking on making some blockbuster player trade this year, it makes more sense to take the entire cap hit this year. Ideally, we move up and get the WR we want in the draft and free up a boat load of money next year.

I bet Diggs will be cut after year 2, if not sooner. 😶

He basically said, there was no market for him, and that he's not a true #1 WR or fully dimensional player anymore. Said he's a 30 year old declining possession receiver. Said he was our #1 by default, & doesn't expect him to get another big deal, or see the same kind of production.

Also might be a hot take but Diggs is not the best WR on Houston
That begs the question, can they produce 2x 1000 yard WR's? He won't be happy with anything less, that's for sure.
-
I wonder if they run this past JA17 before hand? I bet he had some input... or had to give his... blessing. Thats an angle to ponder as well. 🤔

I definitely believe this. Thanks for sharing!
confirms what Josh Norman said to John Wawrow.
He does this more than any player I can remember. Same with how he goes down instantly. I think Bills fans are going to appreciate Samuels yards after the catch ability more than they realize.

That’s a stretch to think a rookie they can realistically pick will come in and immediately be impactful enough to garner similar coverage.I think one of the top 3 could for sure.

But many of those TDs to others were possible in part because Diggs drew the top cover guys to him.We'll be drafting a top WR for sure 100%. Just a matter of who and where.

I saw another discussion where they said who tf cares about dead cap this year, because there's no one left to sign. Better to clear the books now and have an extra 25m next year to play with, after we draft one of the stud WR's this year.

If you take Diggs away, JA17 still led the league in TD's last year. This years draft just got a whole lot more interesting imho. 🤞

I can't wait to see what wizardry Beane pulls off in the draft now!
Also... Shakir + Samuel - Diggs = More YAC. This will be a nice change
-
I like Curtis Samuel, I expect alot of the underneath and intermediate stuff Diggs was getting to go his way. I'm also looking forward to some exciting YAC plays too, that will be a nice change. If we draft one of the stud WR's this year, we'll be more explosive than last year. +1

If you're being honest with yourselves getting a 2nd round pick for Diggs is a solid trade. He's simply not worth a 1st, but you could probably make an argument for a 3rd to be truthful. Diggs was brought in to be the big gun, he's regressed or aged to sort of an intermediate or even slot type guy. All the balls he caught last year will be easily scooped up by Kincaid and Shakir this year. We need someone that can take the top of the field, open up room for Kincaid and Shakir, someone ideally that won't disappear in big games. Diggs was not that guy, it was time. Thanks for the memories.

I hate the extra 9 tenth's of a second they get after it hit's zero. Install a clock with tenths of a second or do away with the extra time all together. This infuriates me lol

Another step towards the inevitability of NFL flag football. While this may change may ultimately not be a bad thing, combined with all the changes it's clear what direction the NFL is headed. I still can't wrap my head around the hip drop tackle thing, but again it's clear they'll be taking contact out of the game before much longer. I don't know the status of any of these CTE cases against the NFL, but as soon as they get held liable, it'll be over.

Do You Like What Beane Did in the First Round?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
The draft fell pretty perfectly for us to make a small jump up for Brian Thomas Jr, or to stand pat and take Worthy. The fact that we let our primary rival snag their WR of the future for a relatively modest return feels like salt in the wound. I'm not a big fan of Mitchell or McConkey so landing either of these guys will only make it feel worse.
I'm hearing Joe Brady tried to recruit Troy Franklin, but taking him @ 33 doesn't make sense. I imagine Beane's been working the lines all night/morning to move back a few more spots to take him where it makes more sense. I could see us then using some of the gained draft capital to move back up in the 2nd, or elsewhere to get some better value.
