Anyone got a link to the whole episode? Can only find a few minutes on YouTube…

The Mannings have done something that is unique…this is the fourth on the way…. There is a lot more to it than “vast resources” otherwise it would happen more frequently ..

It doesn’t happen to a lot of other NFL QB families does it though… Particularly not three times …

Some decent genes in that family…

Yep… more speculation… As I said.., the only thing in the public domain is the draft tape…could be fabricated ( I question why Beane would waste his time acting out a BS scenario though.. but it’s possible… ) …but it’s something at least…to me that’s better than people trying to rely on Twitter speculation and gut feelings… The only reason I even bought into this thread in the first place was to answer some dude who was trying to say that his “evidence” for the Bills trading Edmunds was people mocking a LB to the Bills…. As you have said already,.. The Bills don’t leak this stuff.. and it’s kinda pointless to refer to a mock draft as evidence of something …

Agreed….As no one here is privy to what happened there is not going to be anyway to “prove” anything… As mentioned…i can only point to the draft tape they released … I also find it interesting that they doubled down on DE with the next pick and didn’t even bother picking an RB at all during the draft…

Well.. in light of what evidence is actually in the public domain… I’m going to go with they wanted Groot the whole time and any interest in Etienne had no substance or was misinformation leaked by the Bills.. If you want to believe otherwise all good…

Maybe … but its some evidence at least… There is zero evidence they wanted Etienne

The Bills made a draft doco with Beane in the war room and Groot was always he pick

Because there are 2000 mocks… a handful will get it right

Like last year when everyone mocked them Etienne right?

No one can speculate with any accuracy what is going to happen at Pick 25... They are throwing darts at a board

Ok.. I dont put a lot of trust in mock drafts personally...

Like who?

What are you basing this on? Anything of substance or just gut feeling?

Good luck with that wanting thing... I just wait and see what happens...

You are that guy that wants them to take the safety right?

How much? Click bait even at TBD...

Diggs had them over a barrel... they couldnt afford to be getting him disgruntled this year of all years when they are "all in"... I dont see much incentive for him to be a good soldier and suck it up for the team whilst playing for $10 million less this year... On the positive... Im not expecting him to fall off a cliff any time soon... maybe the KC playoff game might have shown that you have to respect Gabe Davis as well and not just blanket Diggs.. Hopefully they get another skill player in the draft as well to further thin out opposing D's and perhaps we will see Diggs with a bit more space moving forward.... That 2025 year though ... Essentially he is going to be a 26 Mil cap hit that year with only a $7m savings to cut him... so he is likely playing through that season... Hope he is still playing at a high level come then or on the other side of they equation they have at least one championship banner hanging up in the stadium...

it’s a moot point now… but would you have wanted to sign Diggs to a new deal under any circumstances? Say they waited until after this year and he had a 2022 like 2020 … would you still want to then sign him to this deal? Also.. I think it’s pretty obvious that it’s not just about Diggs.., Beane is also looking to keep Josh happy too… Josh loves his buddy..

Josh rang the Beane and said to show some love to his little buddy who was feeling a bit neglected after some recent deals… Beane pulled out one of Pegs’s blank cheques out of his wallet and said no probs…

I think the 2023 first round next year and the third this year might make the roster...

More good luck then good management but I’ll take it

Giving up all those picks to move up for a freaking CB? You have got to be freaking kidding me!
