Don’t get me wrong … I would be very happy with Thomas and probably Franklin… But if they are both gone … I don’t want them having a mind set that they gotta have a WR at 28…

Or you could counter argue that they could pick another position Round 1 , with less depth, and still get quality guys in Rounds 2-4

I believe Gunner has never been wrong about anything in his life … except Josh Allen…( most people were to be fair) And his favourite English soccer team 👎

Ok .. We are still 10 weeks away and pre Combine and Free Agency so I’m not going to get too hung up anything yet … good chance your man gets picked in the teens and both the Bills and Chiefs miss out

Well … second hand accounts don’t “confirm “ anything … and that is the case with Joe B and Parino as well

i suspect the Bills wanted McDuffie.. i was watching a podcast last week with Joe B from the Athletic, Matt Parino, Sal Cappaccio … and they said that was the reality .. think those guys might know

There are 30 other teams in the League that can’t beat the Chiefs when it matters as well… it’s not just a Bills problem…

So they supposedly jumped us to take a player we were never picking ? That sounds dumb, not smart … if that’s the case

Well…I’m always going to go with what actually happens rather than what a draft chart says … and the two spots has probably become the standard …But anything is possible so I’m not going to rule it out .…. There are several other variables… does the team four spots ahead want to trade down ? if your guy is still there three spots ahead than I assume you still hand over the picks to get him anyway ….

We know the price better than anyone as experienced over the last two years that a fourth round moves you two spots in the twenties …a fifth probably gets you 1 more spot…

This is the same argument I just made about the D line …we know they got several needs elsewhere as well and only two picks in the Top 75 … they can’t use those two picks everywhere … I put WR DE and DT over Safety to utilise those picks

Lessened by guys on 1 year deals maybe … but eventually they gotta get WR, DT and DE in the draft … they got three guys signed there at the moment on the D Line … Im not worried about S enough to be spending a Top 100 pick there

If he was a star he would be getting a lot more than $8m a year… Even at 30 years old, he is going to be the best CB on the roster going into the new season .. He was arguably one of their Top 5 players the second half of last season after he arrived … i would love for CB1 to be their No 1 pick instead … but you gotta live in reality …

Yes I can see that as a possibility…although Van Pran could be a lot of teams second C , so it wouldn’t surprise if he goes even before 60… We both know the Bills need a long term C preferably on a rookie deal sooner rather than later… But I have WR, DE and DT higher up the needs list in 2024 … If you want to bring a guy in to learn a year behind Morse/ Bates for a year , then that’s a Day 3 luxury If you want to spend a Top 80 pick, then it should be on a player with at least some path to being a year 1 starter…

So they going to draft Van Pran at pick 60? I’ll believe that when I see it …

I’m going to say there is as much chance of this happening as the Bills signing Tee Higgins in free agency

im assuming the only time you watched Douglas play this year for the Bills was when he was playing injured against the Chiefs in the playoffs? He played great during the season … he will be the first person they extend ..

He won’t make it past 45 … so he will be long gone by our second 👎

Interesting .,, The bottom of the third round pick probably gets them up 4-5 spots … so if he is giving up more than that …, it’s very brave in my view when there are a lot he needs to get done in this draft and the next

He looks quick enough to me … but agree size is a concern… He isn’t on the table at 28….But if the big 5 are gone then who you picking ? I know you want to move up,,, I think this is one year Beane doesn’t do it..

I would even think about moving down if Thomas and Franklin are gone …Im not as sold on Leggette at 28….think he might end up going around 40… I am becoming more intrigued with McConkey … he obviously isn’t as flash as a couple of others … but I think he can come in here and is a Day 1 contributor…. I love his separation and hands …obviously something we lacked last year …could see him getting Josh’s trust very quickly …

me ? No chance … Bring back Hines at $2m and cut Harty…

Put me down in the disagree column… They got very limited money to spend after pulling every lever they can …Holes at WR2, DT DE and S and you are proposing to spend money on a 30 yr old RB… even at $5m a year ( he will get more ) is not an option really,

Yes to the last line … there is no Chris Jones on this Bills team … Are you keeping him next season by the way? I think you do underestimate the rest of the talent level of this Bills team though judging by other opinions you have expressed ..they took your team all the way and did have a chance to win in the final 2 mins…this was with several injuries in the back 7 which your coach and QB rightfully exploited on the day… Unlike the rest of us here …you have your own team to worry about, so you probably aren’t watching every down of every Bills game …the likes of Kincaid , Cook,Torrence and Bernard are all quality first/second year players which Beane has found in the draft the last two years …Elam was a shocking miss… but softened by finding another starting CB in Round 6 of the same draft,,, There is no point “blowing it up” when they are still likely Division winners again next year and Josh Allen age 28 and at his peak… If things go off the rails and they miss the playoffs …then so be it … it would be nice picking in the teens and finding that new WR without sweating it out whether he falls to you..….

You went down the gloom and doom path all of last years off season too…. Yes.. we understand … he has to have a good draft … they are still bringing back 18 of 22 starters, and have some good pieces on rookie deals ..
