There’s almost no chance he trades down. We won’t be able to roster 9 draft picks, as Kirby has mentioned.

Value isn’t there? Wrong. If that were the case, then team after team EVERY year wouldn’t do it, right? This is precisely how elite talent gets passes up on. This is also how a rebuilding team operates. We are beyond our rebuild and ready to win now.

You guys aren’t listening to what I’m saying...I’m saying there is a chance Beane likes a certain WR better than the rest. He might not be there at 54. All WR are not created equal. Just because there is a lot of talent doesn’t mean the one that fits your needs is a dime a dozen...

Who made those decisions? That’s right...not Beane. Next...

Yep...hence my argument...

All these WRs are not created equal. I’m sure there will be a few that Beane falls for and if they happen to start coming off the board, I think it’s more realistic than not that he moves up to get the one he likes. It all depends which one he thinks would pair best with our QB. I knew this wouldn’t be a popular thread, but it’s something to consider based off of Beane’s aggressive nature.

I understand your premise, but it’s not really what I’m suggesting. I think we should stay at 22 and then move back into the bottom of 1 to get someone they love if he starts to fall.

Ok guys...I’ll try to make everyone feel “better”. Forget about the first next year. Let’s trade a combo of picks this year to get back into 1. I’m not about to sit at 54 (if I’m Beane) and hope a guy that I love falls. He’s shown the propensity to move up when someone is sticking out, so I think all the chips are on the table THIS year...

Fine. But either way. It’s not that far from what the Ravens did in 2018 to move to the bottom of the first to get Lamar Jackson. They were in the 16 range and we are at 22. Anyone remember what the gave up?

I think it’s silly to worry about a future pick when we might be able to take the division this year. I’m not sure why people are worried about that. And I completely disagree about talent. If someone like Justin Jefferson is there at 29-32, then you try to make the move.

Exactly. Lots of teams do this and it is the difference between going for it this year or waiting another year. It’s not outside the realm of possibility. I’m not sure why people are so terrified about giving up a future first if we are ready to win now. I’m sure the Steelers aren’t upset about giving this year’s up to get Minkah Fitzpatrick.

I was talking to another poster about this idea last night and I could see this as something Beane might be willing to do. With the way this team is built and the AFC East finally appearing to be up for grabs, Beane might view this roster being a few players away to win now. Here’s my idea...what if we took the top DE or OT on the board at 22 and trade next year’s first and one of the extra 5ths this year to get back in the bottom of round 1? At that point, we could take either DE or OT (whichever we didn’t address at 22) or WR (whichever one starts to fall). We would then still have our original picks minus the extra 5th. Beane can realistically look at this team as being highly competitive next year and having a low first anyways. It’s not like we should be giving up a top half of the draft first rounder. We could get two guys this year who we can control for 5 years at positions of need.

If you can’t see the obvious differences then you can’t be helped....

I really hope we go OT in round 1...

This is pathetic. So I guess they are the same guy right? SMH...

Derp... You’re completely clueless if you think Allen and EJ have anything in common other than they both play qb dnd were drafted by the Bills, then I have nothing for you...

Didn’t know I owed you an explanation. Besides...I did answer. I said compared to the others I’m not as impressed.

I seem to have struck a nerve, eh?

When compared to the others, I’m not as impressed.

Not impressed with Reagor at all...

They better figure out the clock graphic for the WR group. It’s pretty much the reason so many people are tuning in...

“Ruggsy”?

Not happening man. Over 10” hands. 42” vert. If he runs anything under 4.4 he might be looking at WR1... So cliche...and annoying...

Yes he did...

With Allen he’s darned if he does and darned if he doesn’t. When I listened to Palmer saying that I knew this would be the exact reaction from some of you. SMH...
