We counting post season too? If post season included over. Under if we aren't.

My guess is Shakiir and Daquan Hardy end up our returners. Last year we had Shakiir returning kicks and punts, doubt we change that this year. The other returner was Harty who we cut. We drafted Daequan Hardy this year for his return ability/ cb depth, got to think he will be one of them as his return ability was mentioned specifically by Beane post draft presser. Then we will keep a practice squad wr one of Andy isabella or KJ hamler incase we need an injury replacement for a return guy.

Cephus was cut already

I don't follow otas personally. I start to care once the pads are on and preseason games are going. All otas are puff pieces and hey everyone looks great in shorts.

I'd be fine with Troy Franklin, one of the Xaviers or Mitchell. So I will be happy regardless at this point.

I don't think they do either.

Crap yup they were tipping picks.. boo

Jax are takig a corner that's all I've heard for rumors.

I kind of want Quinyon Mitchell. No clue how he is still on the board, Bet he goes to Philly in two picks.. Philly has to be ecstatic.

We met him at the combine. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/brian-thomas-jr-recaps-combine-meeting-buffalo-bills-reacts-mock-draft-hype

#4 would get us Harrison Jr., no way Odunze goes before Harrison Jr. and Nabers.

Charles Campbell via rumors section at Walter football.com Yesterday, we reported here in the Hot Press how some sources with teams in the top 10 said Minnesota is definitely trading up for a quarterback. Another team that sources say is aggressively trying to figure out a trade-up in the first round is the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo front office has been calling teams and gauging trades to be prepared to move up on Thursday night. Sources say the Bills are targeting a wide receiver, and the most likely targets are LSU’s Brian Thomas Jr. and Texas’ Xavier Worthy. Both are possibilities for Buffalo, but it sounds like the preference is toward Thomas. After trading veteran Stefon Diggs, it sounds like Buffalo is going to be aggressive about finding Josh Allen’s next No. 1 receiver. https://walterfootball.com/nfl-hot-press-2024-nfl-draft-week-rumors-tuesday.php

Personally, I don't agree at all about waiting for free agents after the draft. I feel like we need to go into the draft without any glaring holes so we don't have to over draft any players or get other teams jumping over us for the obvious players we would be going for to fill said roster holes. That said, we don't have to go after the top name players to get solid roster players, and we all know Beane won't over pay market value on mid-tier players. That way we can just go bpa and based on where we are drafting and projected boards that is likely wr in round 1. I also do not feel we need to draft a second wr that early though do agree about dipping back in and drafting a second wr in the 4th or 5th round. This guy will be a depth player who can play special teams and develop. Much like shorter will be after missing last year. In free agency I would at minimum pick up two vet dts hopefully one of them Daquan Jones and another a run stuffing dt, a vet rb for short yard/ redzone goal line situations, and a vet DE for rotation (two if we don't resign Epenesa). The DE's because DE's take time to develop and I would rather have a solid DE rotation we know is reliable rather than relying on a weaker DE class. In the second I would draft the best C/G available (if any fall to us worthwhile like last year) for competition with Edwards and/or McGovern starting spots. Obviously if the player wins out at center slide mcgovern back over to guard. If there aren't any guard/ C that are worth a second round pick by the time we select I'd draft Safety as I do not agree with your assessment that this is a weak safety draft. I think there are quite a few good safety prospects who should be available at that 2nd round or third round selection position. Personally, I would sign a safety in free agency to start and draft two young safeties one earlier in the second or third round if we go G/C in the second and then double dip in a later round for competition at both safety spots as well as special teams depth. In the later rounds if we keep all our 11 picks (which is doubtful) I would go bpa while focusing on third rb, cb depth, the safety, a tackle for the oline competition, DT depth, the previously mentioned safety depth player, and the final picks bpa whatever position.

We signed KJ Hamler as well. he could be an option as well.

They already have a good to great defense. And all their offense was missing was wrs and a qb. I'm not saying they'd win the afc east or have the best offense in the league (I agree that is silly) with them but I feel they would make the playoffs and be relevant again and I feel that's what Mayo would want as a first time hc a savvy vet qb who is average to above average and Kraft just wants to be relevant again so he would be on board..
