    Well...there is no guarantee they are right either.

     

    Plenty of round 4 WRs end up as really good players that would have been taken in the first round of there was a "do over" 4 years later.

     

    I guess we would have to revisit it in 4 years to know, just like we would any pick really.

    I totally agree, but why exactly have all 32 teams passed up on this guy 3 times.  I still think he can have an above average career in the nfl.

    For all the whining and bellyaching about Coleman being our first pick (I was disappointed myself) it’s time to man up and admit that none of us are draft experts…some draft analysts had Franklin going late 1st, and many of us would’ve been happy taking him at 33.  For those in here who had Franklin going 4th round, where have we erred, and why were we so wrong?

    I'm thinking it's Zach Frazier with the first pick in the 2nd (c'mon guys, 4 time wrestling champ out of West Virginia? That's obviously McD's guy)...and then they'll take Franklin or Tez Walker.

    I don’t see Franklin or walker on their respective wrestling rosters.  Gonna have to disagree with you there champ

    Vacation thoughts: Can McD have a similar path as Belichick? (Don't laugh)

    Hello fellow Bills fans, welcome to my question of the day, I hope you all are well and moving on from the recent Diggs stuff. :)

     

    I was reading this ESPN article that came out today about Belichick and him not being hired or even considered in this last NFL coaching job carousel - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39955777/how-patriots-legend-bill-belichick-end-nfl-job

     

    Belichick was a defensive coordinator who became an offensive guru. Is it at all possible for McD to have a similar career path? My gut overwhelmingly tells me no, but I do wonder.... 

     

    Let me know your thoughts and why!

    Yeah, because fans know more than the scouts and GM that do it for a living.

     

    🤡

    I’m sure most of the crew here would tell Beane and his crew exactly what to do.  Monday morning quarterbacks know best 

    Who will be the head scratcher pick(s) in the first round?

    Every year there are teams that take a player most had pegged as third rounders in the first round, whether it be the Raiders, New England, whoever. Who will it be this year? Which team, or teams, will reach for a player that makes everyone say “Huh?”. I love when this happens because it just means someone is falling closer to the Bills.

    The Raiders will come through for us

    I loved Legettes 2023 film but there are major concerns ….. please read the negatives .

     

    (Grabbed this profile breakdown)

    Xavier Legette Prospect Analytical Profile

    Measurements
    Height: 6-1
    Weight: 221

    Positives:
    Surprise, the first positive noted for a prospect is his athleticism. Not to take away from Legette as he does have some insane athletic measurables. Legette scored a 9.89 RAS, which surprisingly only ranks 6th in this year's WR class. Legette ran a 4.39 at 221lb with a 40" vertical and 10’ 6’’ broad jump, all of which are elite in their respective measurements.

    Legette is as physical as it gets and is able to use his size/athleticism to his advantage.

    Legette's physicality works particularly well against man coverage where Legette had a 2.28 career YPRR and a PFF Grade of 85.6 vs Man in 2023.

    Legette did not get a lot of playing time prior to 2023, but in his first full year as a starter, he put up some impressive numbers. In 2023, Legette had a YPRR of over 3.00 and a PFF grade of 82.5.

    Legette's on-paper stats in 2023 were impressive - 1,255 receiving yards in only 12 games with 7 touchdowns and an insane yards/rec of 17.7.

    Despite his size, Legette played a fair amount of snaps in the slot throughout his career, showing positional versatility. Legette played 25.6% of his career snaps in the slot and had an impressive 443 receiving yards in the slot in 2023, making up for 35% of his production. With his raw skills as a receiver, but insane athleticism and physicality, Legette's ideal role may be as a big-slot in the NFL.

    Legette also showed the ability to be a plus deep threat in 2023. 44% of Legette's 2023 production came on deep yards and 64% of his career receiving yards were air yards.

    Negatives:
    Unfortunately, Legette does have a long list of negatives and red flags in his analytical profile. Starting with Legette having an extremely concerning 5th-year breakout.

    Legette is already 23 years old, months before getting drafted. Legette also had a late, late breakout age of 22.

    I did previously mention 2023 being Legette first full year as a starter. However, that wasn't because of injury or really a lack of playing time. Prior to 2023, Legette played in 41 games and ran almost 600 routes in 4 years with very little production.

    Regardless of the reasoning, his late breakout is extremely concerning for a prospect and poses the question of whether or not Legette's 2023 production was heavily skewed due to being a literal man amongst boys.

    Legette has a relatively low career QBR when targeted where he ranks 30th in this year's class.

    Legette has an atrocious career YPRR of 1.55. There are 35 prospects in my predictive draft model. Legette ranks dead last in career YPRR by a considerable margin. The prospect with the 2nd to last career YPRR is at 1.60.

    Legette also ranks extremely low in TDPRR (30th) and First Down PRR (last again).

    Legette had an awful career PFF grade vs Zone of 61.10, also dead last amongst 35 prospects.

    Despite an impressive 2023 season, Legette's overall production profile is abysmal, especially for someone who played 53 career games.

    Contested catch is often marked as a positive for Legette in his draft breakdowns. However, Legette ranks relatively low in contested catch rate, converting only 43% of his contested targets.

     

    If we're down to Franklin and Legette at 28 I'd like to see us trade back.

    Haven't heard much about Legette lately. Is he now firmly seen as a 2nd rounder? If so, top of the second round or where?  

    If we still want him, is the better strategy to take someone else in the first and 28 and trade up for him in the 2nd? Or trade down from the first and get another second and extra picks? I guess it depends if there's a D-lineman we really like in the first, or perhaps a center?

    Yes, and yes
