Okay...so the Bills don't trade and KC takes Worthy at 32 because the Bills obviously weren't going to take him.

Folks...think this through. The Bills obviously were not going to take Worthy. It's likely he would have fallen to the Chiefs anyway and the Bills get a 3rd rounder in the process.

Beane wanted that 3rd rounder.

I'm thinking KC goes corner.

Bucs could take one.

Don't they need DB help?

I guess they're sitting the 2025 draft out.

Hooked on Phonics.

They could do the sensible thing and go OT.

Or the Jets lied and said they were entertaining offers.

Everyone that is upset with Beane...he can't force a trade! All of the pundits reporting that teams are open for business...don't know jack. Unless we're talking trades the magnitude of Draft Day! People, get real.

Every year chaos is predicted with trades...and every year, the draft goes like a typical mock simulator...with the exception of the Atlanta pick.

Chicago making the pick.

Chargers are keeping the pick.

I'd only go back as far as 33 depending on how many WRs go in the first round before 28.

OBL is now reporting that there is a report (I believe from CBS sports) that there will be an expected run on wide receivers early in the 2nd round. That could move teams at the top of the round to trade into the bottom of the first round where the run will now start. So...there may be slim pickens on WRs in the 2nd round. There are a lot of WR needy teams picking at the top of Round 2.

Actually, they had a solid QB. (That was the guy who celebrated with his wife and son when the pick wasn't the QB.) Bo Callahan was the "flavor of the month," much-hyped QB prospect. The GM was under pressure by the owner, so he initially thought he needed to make a splash. In truth, the script for this movie is far-fetched, but it's an enjoyable watch if you like the NFL draft and Kevin Costner.

That may be so, but...how many times are there multiple trades expected in drafts and instead, teams stand pat and let the draft fall to them? This draft will likely be different because of the QB needy teams and the number of QBs that legitimately could go in the first round. We've all been disappointed before though with being provided less excitement.

I wonder how many WRs aren't signed to second contracts because they are traded or because signing them to a second contract is cost prohibitive.

They were talking about this on OBL. Brownie and Tasker both said the Jets would be lucky to get anything for him and then floated Denver as the likely taker since all they have is Stidham and Ben Dinucci. So...they called it.

Chad Reuter hates the Bills.

It was really a solid interview. Josh is such a genuine guy. He gives credit where credit is due and clearly has an affection for his team mates. At the same time, he mentioned that he trusts Beane with bringing in the best players for the team and acknowledges his coaches...particularly Brady...for what he is learning. Class and humility all the way.

I agree. Britt and Woolen certainly played well even as rookies. The jury still isn't out on Elam though. I think with the changes in the Bills secondary, Elam will get a real chance this year to prove his worth.

When someone asked him what it takes to be a leader for the team the last thing he said was, "Someone who doesn't care who is scoring or getting the ball, just as long as we are winning." I love him for saying that!

I think that is what it is. It's the business side of things. He had to say goodbye to a lot of players that he specifically brought in to build a roster that could win a Superbowl. Last year he built a team with a great deal of depth. Draft picks were poached by other teams...and are starters that couldn't make the Bills team last year. He stretched the Cap to its maximum in the process. Then with all of the injuries, that depth was tested...and the Bills fell short once more. So...this year he had to pay the piper and release players that I believe he truly loved and appreciated. He needs to retool the roster with a draft class that is lacking in a number of areas. And the league moved the goalpost for compensatory picks, leaving the Bills without a 3rd round pick in a draft where he really was counting on one. He has a big task ahead and he's a perfectionist when it comes to his work. He does not want to let the team, the owner, the coaching staff or the fans down. So...the strain is there. Hind sight is 20-20.
