It's time to go get Franklin or Wilson. Give up the 4th and a 5th. Then package 2 5ths to get a 4th back tomorrow.
I am positive Beane and his boys are on the phones. Have to get a team that wants to do that.

We have 4 5th round picks, only one in the 4th
You use the 4th now to move up in the 3rd and then 2 5ths to move back into the 4th tomorrow.

WR is NOT filled.Beane wasn't double-dipping. He may pick a WR at #95 though.

WR and S are filled. Pick #95 could be a player from numerous positions.

We could trade with Was at 53 with 2 5ths if we want to move up. Tons of good WRs out there, I could see us go D
WAS already has 2 5th round picks. Both in the 1st half of the round.

Bills about to pick and a commercial.
Am I doing this right?

I expect everyone to hate everything we do and love everything everyone else does. But then some slowly come to terms and like the pick after a while
kinda like Stockholm syndrome where we start to relate to our captor (Beane) because we have zero control
I'm old enough to remember when you had to wait to read who the Bills drafted in the Courier Express the next day!

I expect a well behaved and rational crowd here tonight on the board.

Actually, for QBs it's rarely used. If the player is a franchise QB, he gets extended after year 3, like Josh and many others. Only the QBs who have an injury history get the 5th year option. Meanwhile, the QB busts get jettisoned. Look at 2021: 4 QBs in the top 15 got dumped before the team even had to consider the 5th year option.
Not really. Just about all of the franchise QBs have their 5th year option picked up. The extensions signed in year 3 get put on AFTER
the 5th. Josh and Mahomes (as examples) had 5th year options picked up.

Tom Pollesero on NFL network says right now he believes the Bills stick and pick at 33
Agree, unless a couple of teams have a 1st round grade on a player they really want, and some kind of bidding war starts.
Beane makes the pick or trades for a very favorable deal.

If you listen to everything Brandon Beane says (and for a GM, he's usually pretty honest) in all his press conferences, you can get a pretty good idea what is going on.
1) He didn't have a lot of 1st Round grades this year. Although he won't say it explicitly, it's pretty clear they were all long gone by Pick #28.
2) He sees a lot of value in the 2nd-3rd Rounds this year, and thinks that's the place to load up. He really didn't want to part with their 2nd Rounder.
3) He was also ticked off at the NFL for taking away his 3rd Round comp pick, and was dead set on getting it back.
4) None of the players left on their board stood out enough to really care about moving down 4-5 spots.
5) Moving back 15-20 spots was too much. So if they go back again from 33, I only expect it to be a couple slots.
6) History also shows that if 1-2 players are on their board, he is not shy about trading to move up. And he won't trade down to risk losing them.
Exactly how I see it. Really hope he hits on his Day 2 picks tonight!

Beane said he got no calls for trade up. Not sure what that means. Maybe he means calls back to him ?
And so no trade up was possible. Takes two to tango
I'm of the opinion that the 1st round talent was drying up and none of the teams were willing to go back to Pick #28.
Your "takes two to tango" is lost on a lot of fans.

informed Bills fans would deduce McD made the call to trade that pick to KC, not Whaley, so pointing out Beane wasn't here (which we already know) suggests Beane being there makes a difference... alas they repeat that mistaking gifting the chiefs the speed they want and we wait to see what we get which so far has never won a superbowl. My point stands.
So does mine. I hope the 2 KC picks don't help their team and I hope the 2 Bills picks do.
I'm a fan, not a soothsayer.

The bills only traded back because they thought their guy would be available at 2.01.
That tells me they want to take a guy that most people didn't mock in the first round. So who could that be ?
Is it possible the bills loved a guy like Ricky Pearsall, and thought no way someone would take him in the first?
What if the bills shot themselves in the foot?
Unless the bills trade down again, why risk losing out on your guy just to gain a better draft position in round 3?
What if everything you stated is not true and just speculation?
Without seeing Beane's board none of us know exactly why.

.....McDermott, who has stressed a "one voice" philosophy within the organization, only fueled speculation about Whaley's future by using the word "I" and not "we" when describing several decisions made Thursday night in the draft." recapping the 2017 draft of McD
All informed Bills fans know this. My point was Beane was not the GM.
-
Beane wasn't the GM for the Mahomes trade.
My wish as a Bills fan is that this trade goes well for the Bills and bad for the Chiefs.
A Worthy bust along with Pick #133 coupled with 2 Buffalo Bills stars at #33 and #95 would be awesome!
A football fan's hope springs eternal. Can't wait for tonight!

I’d like to see the Bills use some of the later picks on vets, to move up or to move into next year’s draft. I don’t want the Bills drafting more than 6 guys. They just don’t have the roster space.
Beane is missing a 5th and 7th rounder in next year's draft. I'm certain he will look to get them back on Saturday.
It would be great to deal off one of the lower round 5ths to a team not projected to be all that good for their 2025 5th and 7th.

I would have loved it. It would have been risky, but bold and aggressive.
We will see you back when Worthy sends us home in January for you to tell us “no one could predict he’d be good.”
I'll wait for the draft to finish before I give my opinion on Beane's moves.
I also never gave any opinion on Worthy. He could "bust" or be great.
-
I'd bet my bottom dollar that if Beane moved up to draft Worthy certain people would be calling for his head.
Stuff like "he gave up a 3rd rounder for a 4th comp pick". We now have only one other pick in the top 130.
"KC fleeced him". This board is so predictable.

Comparison of the Bills picks at beginning of the draft and now:
Original
28, 60, 128, 133, 144, 160, 163, 200, 204, 248
Now
33, 60, 95, 128, 141, 144, 160, 163, 204, 221
Analysis:
Picks retained: 60, 128, 144, 160, 163, 204
Trade down from 28 to 33 (-5)
Trade up from:
133 to 95 (+38)
200 to 141 (+59)
248 to 221 (+27)
That's good maneuvering presuming that their WR is still available.
Thank you for posting. I was just figuring the difference and you saved me a lot of work.
I think Beane did good IF he is getting his WR with pick #33 that he would have taken at 28.

No, trade down
I was just going to say it's looking good to trade back for Washington's Pick #36 and #100.

He has to find a partner. I'm sure it's what he wants to do that both in the 3rd and 4th rounds.
Teams won't trade until they are almost on the clock. They are watching their boards too.
