    FWIW Florio is saying buffalo trades up to Denver's spot and takes Odunze.   He is claiming he didn't make this but others who we would know did.....it seems he is pretending he is rick gosselin here....Gosselin used to do a final mock the day of the draft that was from compiling his info from all league sources....he was usually pretty accurate.....anyway Florio is not him.

     

    This whole thing looks unrealistic just like that 7 round mock did that was posted here.  There is no way the Giants take an OT that high right?

    12. Buffalo Bills (projected trade with Broncos): Washington receiver Rome Odunze.


     

    Florio is very very well known to make up rumours and stir the pot.

    Two corner links I have heard in the last couple of days on podcasts that when I've done some cross checking seem to check out:

     

    Kool-Aid is getting a lot of looks by Jacksonville and Nate Wiggins and the 49ers. Told that John Lynch has loved Wiggins since the start but thought until recently he had no chance to still be there. If he gets in range don't be shocked if the 9ers even trade up slightly for him. 


    Niners have had corner issues for seemingly years. Need to get it fixed. 
     

    But they also have needs for new blood in both tackle spots as well as at DT. 
     

    The Aiyuk situation may have them go WR at some point too.

    Odunze is the ideal pick for the Bills.  Unfortunately, he will not be available to us unless the Bills make a massive trade up in the draft to get him.


    Yup said it for weeks he fits the character and work ethic the Bills prefer and probably want after the Diggs fiasco . To me he’s the safest WR in the class because you know you are getting a top notch intelligent human with drive and work ethic

    Trubisky, in my opinion, is among the worst backups in the NFL. I truly believe that he is simply awful and I have zero confidence in the Bills winning a game with him ever needing to play more than a dozen or so snaps.


    - The Steelers were 7-3 when Pickett started and finished the game last season. He had wins over playoff teams such as Baltimore, Cleveland and the Rams. He threw for over 200 yards in 60% of his games.


    - They were 0-3 with Trubisky starting. All of those losses came against non-playoff teams. He threw for over 200 yards in 0% of his games.

    I really wish he was not on the roster.


    Zach Wilson on the other hand is not great, but I truly think he has potential as a backup. Heck, he's beaten us twice.


    No question he’s better but it’s Wilson’s contract price that excluded him from being here .

     

    But I don’t ever want to invest money into a backup QB because if Josh goes down our season is over anyways

    Hmmmmm...this is interesting.  There is buzz the Broncos like Bo Nix, but by no means were they a lock to take him at 12.  I wonder if they just take the BPA at 12 or trade back to get more draft capital that they need.  And if they still wanted Nix after trading back he will very likely still be there as I think they are the biggest threat to take him round 1.  

     


    Taking Nix at 12 would have gotten that group fired within 2 years. I never believed any of the first round talk for him whatsoever 

     

     

    More likely to see him go in round 2

    What are the red flags, I haven't heard of them.  4.3 speed isn't one of them.  I like Ladd at #28 (if a trade up for Thomas JR isn;t possible) then Walker or Baker at #60 or a slight trade down from #60.  I can be talked out of Walker, I guess.  I really think Baker is underrated

    I disagree.  We have nobody on the roister like Legette and although Ladd has qualities that are similar to Shakir, Ladd played outside (non-slot) over 70% of the time last year.  You can never get Josh too many separators (he throws to open receivers not via anticipation) and Ladd is the best separator in the draft


    Tez Walker

     

    Very questionable hands and he’s an older prospect are the two biggest flags

     

    Hes also not a great route runner but thats not a red flag

    The two issues I see with the Giants trade up option is:

     

    1. What do the Cardinals get in return? You are asking them to give up MJH. If they are getting two or even three ones from Minnesota (even sending a day 2 pick back) that and the chance to still get back up with Atlanta for the 3rd of these receivers given that Joe Alt is a lock to go either at #5 or #7 is attractive. If it is give up MJH for Nabers or Odunze and say swap a third for a second round pick  (I'd imagine something like Cards get #6 and #47 and NYG get #4 and #90) is that tempting enough? Depends what difference in grades they have between Harrison and the other two I suppose. 

     

    2. If you are trading back with the Giants you might wanna be absolutely convinced they are not going to just take the receiver you would have taken there. I dunno. It would be risky for me. Again it depends do AZ like Harrison a lot more? What about the other two, do they have those close together?

     

    But I have heard the Giants are in the QB market if the right guy is there from the very start of the process so I totally buy their desire to go up. 


    I think Maye is their guy but we may never know the answer 

  8. It’s clear with all the rotation of power backs we’ve brought in that haven’t gotten it done that we are interested in drafting one

     

    Its a shame we aren’t waiting until next yer though when the class is infinitely better than this historically bad class

    Yep. 

    If this is the route they're going, I hope they at least draft a couple receivers. I'm fine with volume over a classic "WR1", if that's what they wanna do, but...this receiving corps needs not one, but TWO talented youngsters added to it for that to work, IMO.

    Rookie
    Samuel
    Shakir
    Rookie

    Hollins
    Shorter/Hamler/etc


    This method only works if you hit on those guys like GB did though 

     

    Personally I want to go and try and go and get an elite guy. 
     

    I think people are understanding the amount of attention Diggs drew each game with the D’s top corner and usually a safety coming over the top to help. 
     

    It’s way easier to play a shell coverage against us now

    Have you watched much of him?  I've only seen a few clips. I was warming up to the idea of him maybe second round if Buffalo went DE or something in the first, but then I'm hearing that he's projected to be good and reliable but not great. And then there some injuries I guess. I'd be interested to hear more about him from others than the media I guess. Thanks! Go Bills. 


    Incredible route running and ability to create separation. The best in the class. He comes with 4.39 speed and can play inside and outside. 

     

    But his size and injury history is concerning. He also seems to struggle on deep throws and there are questions about whether he can be that X receiver 
     

    Hes an ideal early 2nd round pick imo

    0%???  C'mon, who put out that ridiculous number.

     

    And how do they factor in the plays (which were a much larger percentage for Coleman) where he is intentionally running to the defender?  This is by design.  FL had many more plays where they ran Coleman to what they called the "heels of the defender".  


    That number was confirmed by Matt Harmon I believe
