IMHO its going to take getting up to #4 with Arizona. I would offer 2024 1st and 4th, 2025 1st and 2nd, And see how it goes.
#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.

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.

What’s your best guess? Shakir or not on the roster?
Might have to factor that into our WR additions.
We signed KJ Hamler as well. he could be an option as well.

Kick Cousins and 31yo Mike Evans make them one of the best offenses in the league on paper? Lol.
They would still easily be the 4th best team in the division.
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..

Can't they just franchise tag him? Or did they already say they weren't going to do that?
The tag would cost 21 million. Just too rich for the Bucaneers blood when thy need to sign a qb to a rich contract in Mayfield and Winfield whom they tagged.
-
Kirk Cousins, Mike Evans, draft marvin harrison jr, sign best de free agent available, and one of the good vet rbs out there right now probably Saquan. That about spends the money but also puts them in the playoffs.

I;d be alright with the pick. Not ecstatic but at our pick in the draft the drop off between the 6-like 12th wr isn't so excessive I'm worried about getting a specific guy in the second. We wait until round 4 or 5 I'd be a little miffed but not going wr in the first unless a Brian Thomas or Odunze somehow magically fell wouldn't hurt my feelings. A lot of holes to fill going into free agency, obviously this changes if we fill most with quality players I don't want to draft a depth player over a starting wr that'd irk me. All that said I doubt Robinson falls to us anyways and we either go wr or take a dt or Cooper Dejuan for the safety position.
-
Wants the highest contract for wr in the nfl and deserves it. No way we could afford him and this is coming from a guy who believes we could make a ton of cap space and can sign a marquee guy or two.

I think Derrick's idea of a "chase a ring deal" will involve at least 10M/ yr. Just draft a cheap day 3 bruiser back as your RB3 behind Cook & Johnson.
Free agency is loaded down with great vet backs. I think he will have to settle for less. But I agree wouldn't pay him that much a year knowing he wouldn't be rb1 in our system.

With… What… Money
There's always money in the banana stands. We could easily free up over 20 million of cap space over the cap. And like I said it would be a team friendly chase a ring deal so we wouldn't be talking big money.

My plan is to sign Derrick Henry for our short yard and goal line back. Do this so we don't have to always use Allen in those situations. Convince him to take a short term superbowl chase deal. Then profit..

I'm not one to follow the Salary cap that much as it's something that never really interested me, but...Sportrac has us at -43 million dollars next year. This is one of the worst cap situations in the NFL, with only the Chargers and Saints being worse off.
We are also the oldest roster in the NFL with an average age of 27.65 years old.
We currently also are below the league average for players currently under contract, with only 46. (50.5) being the average.
Allen, Diggs and Von make up 40.7% of our entire cap space. Add in Dawkins and Tre, that makes up over 54%.
It looks like we are in real trouble cap wise next year.
Thoughts?
We likely restructure some of the higher paid guys we want to keep and make some tough cuts and june 1st cuts to clear some cap as well. Tre White, Hines, Harty, Bates, Poyer.
Also see some guys like Morse, douglas, and Dawkins who are on their final contract years who could extend / add on to their contracts for lesser dollar figures this year.
Plenty of ways to create cap, and sign good players to fill roster holes.

Tre made 16 million dollars this year. It looks like cutting him would save 6 million. He's due 16 million with 10 million in dead cap.
we save ten million with only a 6 million dead cap if he is deemed a post june 1st cut

Because I can't change what happened today. And with Allen we at least have a shot at the Superbowl in the future still. Realistically 5-7 year window still imo. As a Bills fan who was young enough to not really get to enjoy the 90's Bills teams (I was 5 in 1990) this is the closest I have got to enjoy a winning Bills team who have a real shot. So I am enjoying it all even though we have yet gotten over this KC playoff hump.

I really wish he'd cut that out. It's not only incredibly lame, it's completely beneath him given how tough a player he is.
Personally, I don't care about the flops / acting. It means he will do anything to win. I don't care if he does full on Shakespearean drama on the field as long as we are winning and Josh is being Josh.
-
Looked blatantly late to me. Defender hadn't left his feet. "pretty much" is not has. He could've jumped over or at least tried to avoid contact and he didn't try at all. If he even attempted to avoid at all he would likely of not gotten the penalty.

In all the aftermath I haven’t seen much talk about Beane. Specifically Rasul Douglas and now Harty have helped keep this thing going. I’m sure that there has been a few other plays/players that have contributed this year but those two in particular really stand out.
Nah the Browns, Detroit or the Texans are going to get it. The Browns had like 21 players on IR and managed to make the playoffs. Detroit because if you can get a team to win there you are doing something right. And Texans because they went from a 2nd over all pick to the playoffs.

No way we sell. We are still in the playoff contention. And all the losses we have are in close games where we just had a slow start. My guess they will believe they just need to change the offense a bit and get in a rhythm earlier.

No way we sell. We are still in the middle of the pack and in playoff contention. When the playoffs hit who knows what will happen. Yes, I agree we should sell just don't see it happening.

Hopefully Milano's injury is an MCL, he would be back later in the year in that scenario.
Hopefully it is nothing and they are just being cautious.

First half timeouts are meaningless. It is the second half timeouts you need to worry about.

Tampering, so I doubt this is true. Also, The Jets have a better, younger bell cow running back already. Makes no sense for them to do this unless Hall won;t be ready at the beginning of the season.

The winner of any game is the team with the most points on the board when the whistle sounds. Hopkins gives us a better chance at that than a DE trying to prevent it. IMO
That is a good point. I completely forgot about our redzone issues last year. Hopkins would improve that massively. Changing my mind back to Hopkins over vet de.
