Success

How did he get "worked?" Unless we were taking Worthy - which we could have - this was all a plus. Where is the negative?

The Bills trading down makes sense. KC trading up for Worthy makes no sense. There is an excellent chance he would be there at 32 if they just stood pat. But because of Mahomes and McDuffie, I'm sure the national narrative will be "KC did it to the Bills again" for awhile. But I simply don't see the negatives here. If both KC and Buffalo stood pat, we probably both end up w/ the same WR's we're getting anyway. And they gave up draft capital, while we gained it.

I mean, if we didn't like Worthy - it's as good a move as any. We didn't "give" Worthy to KC - he very likely would have been there for them at 32.

I seriously doubt they were expecting BTJ to drop much further.

First KC comments I read were along the lines of "Worthy would have been there at 32 - would rather have taken Mitchell." Might be a chess move by Beane. Won't know for some time.

I was worried the Pats would take Penix. I bet he turns out to be 2nd best out of this draft.

I think he has Trubisky written all over him.

I'm good trading up, or standing pat. A trade back would be tough. We traded Stephon Diggs. We have 2 receivers who are basically #3 guys right now. We need not just an immediate starter at that position - but a guy who can be an immediate #1.

I'd be thrilled. But I'd also steer clear of this board for a bit.

It's easy to agree w/ this. But, when you have a great QB - it's also hard to overstate how impactful a great WR can be, that you can pair w/ that QB for many years ahead. A Montana/Rice kind of situation here in Buffalo would be scary for the league. With Kincaid, Cook & Shakir, and the fairly young line we have, it's almost like we wouldn't have to even worry about personnel on the offensive side of the ball for another few years. I'm good w/ whatever tonight - but it won't bother me if we give up a real ransom for Odunze or Nabers.

Honestly, that was a bad GM. He had tunnel vision about Mack, so went WAY out of his way to find some flaw w/ Callahan (teammates at a b-day party? Did he ask about Mack's birthday?) No objectivity, and very stubborn. I doubt that Browns team ended up doing anything.

If we have Nabers or Odunze at this time tomorrow, I'll be thrilled. Losing the picks would hurt. But having a top receiver on a rookie contract will also allow us to add more through FA.

It's about health. This team is as good or "close to as good" as any team in the league, especially with Allen. SB should be the expectation.

By "unpopular," do you mean "insane"?

If we come up short again....why not? I like McD, but we have certainly underachieved up until now. If we have another divisional round exit or worse, I think most would agree we can't waste more of JA's prime. I would be thrilled if we hired Belichick if that was the case. He's a terrible GM - but the best coach of all time. Who says no to that? I'm pulling for McD to come through, but if we underachieve again, this would have to be on the table (imo).
