    If we are abdicating our picks to the Chiefs in order to save a mere $2.5M, then we are already done.

    We are not allocating our picks to the Chiefs.   We traded back because we likely didn't have first round grades left on any players.  Do we take Worthy to spite the Chiefs even though the Bills didn't want a 165 lb WR???  I don't think they made the move to save money.   It's simply a practical bonus.  We moved back because of value...and we improved our draft position in the lower rounds.  We now have three picks tomorrow night instead of one.

    If Buffalo loved Franklin that much, why wouldn’t they just take him at 32 and get the fifth year option instead of taking him at 33?  Doesn’t make sense. I don’t think Buffalo is done trading down yet. They will do at least one more trade down from 33 if in fact they are taking a WR. So I think it would definitely be for any other position than WR if they do make a pick at 33. 

    Doing it the way they did it, according to Sal...they just saved $2.5 million off the cap.

    every year there are coveted players that we cannot draft. It sucks but it is what it is. Rome Odunze is not only an elite WR be he is a cutie pie too

    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.

    Trading back is not a great idea, don't need OBL to tell you that. All the teams around us and behind us could use WR help and those teams at the top of rd2 need WRs. Even staying at 28 could get you jumped...

     

     

     

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

    This has been my best case scenario all along. Trade back with Washington since they desperately need a LT, in exchange get one of their 3rds. Then double dip at WR in the 2nd, trading up from #60 if necessary to make sure we get our guy.

     

    Trade could look something like this to match the draft value chart:

     

    Washington receives:

    #28

    #128

    #144

     

    Buffalo receives:

    #36

    #67

     

    Come away with something like Legette & Franklin, and still have a high 3rd round pick plus a full complement of day three picks to fill out the roster.

    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.

    If I'm understanding correctly... **spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen**

    ...The GM in this movie desperately needs a quarterback, but instead mortgages his team's future to select an off-ball linebacker and a punt returner, because he finds out none of the top QB prospect's teammates attended his birthday party...

    Do I have that right? 

    I understand watching it for the camp factor (and Jennifer Garner's dimples), but other than that....

    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.

    There are zero trades in Jeremiah’s draft, which is ridiculous and an indicator to me that a person doesn’t have the courage of his own convictions. It is a day before the draft — project trades, which ALWAYS happen.

    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.
